The first phase of the Gate Avenue at DIFC remains on track for an opening in the first half of next year.

The upscale retail and leisure lies right at the heart of Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). As of now, a “significant number” of retail units have been handed over to tenants for design and fitout work has started at some. The concrete structure is now 95 per cent complete with 40,000 cubic meters of concrete poured to date, and blockwork installation is 80 per cent complete. “DIFC’s 2024 Strategy envisions a thriving community of 50,000 professionals based in the Centre, and Gate Avenue at DIFC is a milestone in this journey as well as a new landmark at the heart of Dubai,” said Nabil AlKindi, Chief Real Estate Officer at DIFC Authority. It will span 660,000 square feet of built-up area and 880 metres in total length, Gate Avenue at DIFC will link the podium levels of all buildings located in DIFC.
