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.
