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.
