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.
