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.
