Six retail brands in deal with DSC

Six retail brands have signed up to open outlets at the Canal Residence West residential apartment buildings complex project when it is handed over in September this year, the Dubai Sports City (DSC) authority said yesterday.

It said more than 400 villa owners are now already living in the DSC, with thousands of additional residents expected to move in later this year.

Among the brands already confirmed to have leased space at Canal Residence West are Al Maya supermarkets, Alpha Optical, Champions Cleaners, Al Shafar Pharmacy, Nutrition World, and Al Arrab Restaurant.

"This year is one of deliveries and growth for DSC, and with many elements coming online, the project is now a thriving community, servicing local residents as well as visitors from surrounding areas. As a result, many retailers of all sizes are realising this trend and now want to take up space," said Sam Sayadan, Retail Development Manger at DSC.

Canal Residence West's studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments will be joined by the 400 villa owners already living in Victory Heights, a gated golf course residential community within Dubai Sports City.

DSC last year saw the completion of the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Bradenton Prep Academy, and the Butch Harmon School of Golf. The Els Club, an 18-hole championship golf course, opened in March 2008. Opening later this year are a hockey stadium and six sports academies offering coaching in football, rugby, hockey, golf, cricket, and swimming.
