The three-storey development,
which makes up Phase One of the park, is already
fully let, with 118 manufacturers and thirty
retailers operating there. As the park is
an extension of the Jebel Ali Free Zone, the
manufactures and retailers are able to benefit
from lower operating costs, and in turn this
gives the opportunity to compete in international
markets. The
exterior of the park reflects the Arabic
architectural heritage of the region, while
inside it is spacious, cool, clean and comfortable.
The shops
are arranged around a central square where
an open-plan French Connection coffee shop
gives you the opportunity to sit and soak
up the atmosphere. There are well appointed
bathrooms, traditional display cabinets,
and a museum giving the history of the Emirates
heritage in producing quality jewellery
products.
The park
has attracted leading jewellery manufacturers
from around the world, and all manufacturing
units to supply gold and diamond jewellery
to the shops.
It is not
just yellow and white gold that is available
here, as Prestige Palace at the park brings
purple gold to the Middle East for the first
time.
Pinctada
Pearls can also be found located close to
the coffee shop, and their smart premises
allow them to showcase their exquisite pearls.
You can view black pearls from Tahiti, and
pinky white and creamy white Australian
South Sea pearls. Pinctada only stock salt-water
pearls, which are of a much superior quality
and have a thicker nacre coating.
Because of
its superb location at the intersection
of the Sheikh Zayed Road, the park will
prove to be popular not only to nationals
and expats, but also to the tourist trade.
All the beach hotel visitors will be able
to reach the park easily and quickly, and
ample parking spaces re available. The park
will enable people to see how jewellery
is history of the Emirates.
With its
own special hallmark on the jewellery made
here, the park can ensure the quality and
originality of its products to its customers.
This is just
the first phase of the Gold and Diamond
Park, whose facilities on completion will
make it one of the worlds principle centers
for the manufacture of gold and diamond
jewellery of the highest international quality. |
