Dubai Square Business District Location Where the district is planned, and how people would get there
Emaar Properties plans a new office district beside Dubai Square, at the centre of Dubai Creek Harbour. This page sets out what Emaar has said about the setting, the metro, the waterfront and the neighbourhood, and what it has not said yet.
Exact plot, tower names, distances and dates are not published yet.
01 / The setting
At the centre of Dubai Creek Harbour.
According to Emaar’s announcement of 9 November 2026, the Dubai Square Business District is planned beside Dubai Square, which Emaar places at the centre of Dubai Creek Harbour. Emaar describes the district as 300,000 square metres of commercial and office space planned around the square.
Emaar compares the planned layout to a compass seen from above. Avenues are to run outwards from Icon Plaza, the creek lies to the west, and green corridors are to pass between the blocks. Emaar says the office towers will stand on all sides of the square, with the mall, the metro, hotels, parks and the promenade close to them.
The announcement also mentions a new Dubai Creek Tower, which Emaar says is envisioned as a landmark for the area. It gives no location or detail for it, so we add none.
This is a plan. Nothing described here has been built yet, and plans can change.
02 / Metro
Two metro stations for the district.
Emaar says two metro stations will serve the district directly, and that a climate-controlled passage will connect the office buildings to them. In Emaar’s account, a person leaves the train, crosses that connection and arrives in the lobby of the building.
The announcement also singles out the Iconic Metro Station of Dubai Creek Harbour, which Emaar calls the highest metro station in the world. That is Emaar’s own description, and we have not checked it. Emaar adds that Dubai Square is planned to connect directly to this station.
The announcement does not name the metro line, say when the stations open, or give a walking distance or journey time from the offices. We will not guess them.
03 / Buses and the Discovery Loop
Wider links across Dubai Creek Harbour.
Beyond the district itself, Emaar gives three figures for transport across the whole of Dubai Creek Harbour.
- Metro stations
- 3
- Bus stops
- 17
- Discovery Loop
- 7 km
Emaar does not explain in the announcement how the Discovery Loop will be used or where it runs, so we do not either. Bus routes and timetables are not published.
04 / The waterfront
Promenade, beach and skyline.
The creek is on the west side of the plan. Emaar lists a promenade 4.5 km long and an urban beach 600 m long beside the water, and says 450 species of plants and animals are found along it.
Emaar also says the waterfront has a view across to the Downtown Dubai skyline. Whether a particular office would have that view depends on the final design, which has not been published.
05 / What is around
Hotels, parks, homes and daily services.
Hotels. Around Dubai Square itself Emaar plans four hotels; across the wider masterplan it plans eight.
Parks. Emaar plans three park hearts within the district. For the whole masterplan it lists 15 parks, 13% open space and 4 ecological green corridors. Emaar names Sidr Square, Pearl Park, Cloud Gate Park and Lake Park among the parks, and says green and retail routes will link them.
Homes. Around the district Emaar lists 75,500 homes in over 200 residential towers, for about 200,000 residents. It says some residential plots are 5 minutes on foot from the mall.
Daily life. Emaar also lists 7 schools, 14 nurseries, 25 clinics, 2 hospitals, more than 70 community shops and 11 mosques.
All of these figures are Emaar’s, taken from its announcement of 9 November 2026. The announcement does not say which of them exist today and which are still planned.
06 / Not published yet
What the announcement leaves out.
- The exact plot of the district and of each tower.
- Tower names.
- Distances or journey times from the offices, by foot, car or metro.
- Metro line, station opening and construction dates.
- Launch or handover dates.
Until Emaar publishes these, nobody can say honestly how far a given office would be from a station or from the mall. If you see a distance quoted for this district, ask where it comes from.
If you register your interest, we can send you what Emaar publishes about the district’s offices, as it appears. It costs nothing and does not commit you to anything. Enquiries are taken through the form only.
