Dubai: The World, an artificial archipelago of 300 small
islands, is set to get a collection of 33 floating houses with its own garden,
pool and beach as its developer Nakheel has given the green light to
Oqyana Real Estate for the project.
Completely stable on the water, the base of the island is built
to last for far over 100 years and will create a new underwater habitat for sea
life, according to the company. It is building similar islands in the Maldives
and in Miami, it added.
Oqyana Real Estate has signed a deal with Amillarah Private
Islands, the ultra-luxury floating private island developer, earlier this year
to create a series of Floating Private Islands within the Oqyana World First
development on The World Islands project in Dubai.
“Nakheel, the master developer of The World project, has now
granted this project with all the necessary permits in order to take the next
step to create one of the most exclusive developments in Dubai. This makes the
project the first floating project officially approved by Nakheel,” the company
said in a statement.
“Oqyana World First is testament to our vision of pioneering
unique real estate developments that genuinely break new ground and the
cooperation with Amillarah Private Islands,” said Zeyad Abdullatif Janahi,
chairman of Oqyana Real Estate.
Paul van de Camp, chief executive officer of Amillarah Private
Islands, said: “We are the only company in the world offering Floating Private
Islands, tailor-made to the clients specifications, based on our Dutch heritage
of hundreds of years of working with the water.”
Oqyana World First is the developer’s flagship project, composed
of an archipelago of artificial islands forming the continent of Australasia in
The World development off the coast of Dubai.
