Dubai Properties Group, the developers behind the Jumeirah Beach Residence, The Executive Towers at Business Bay and Shorooq Mirdif, has launched a new generation of labour camps in Jebel Ali.
The upmarket Nuzul development consists of 2236 residential units across 13 low-rise buildings over a build-up area of 92,000ft2 in the Jebel Ali Industrial Area 1. The new units are designed with a Mediterranean theme, and the community as dedicated recreation and entertainment areas, a food court, supermarket, clinic, pharmancy, emergency treatment room, mosque, game rooms, library, internet room, ATM, retail outlets and a cricket field and basketball court.
Each of the 13 buildings has a kitchen with LPG (central gas), a dining facility, laundry rooms, bathrooms and elevators on each floor.

The company says the community was “planned to provide an enhanced quality of life for the regions skilled labours and promotes increased productivity among its inhabitants.”
“In addition, Nuzul offers business owners a highly anticipated alternative to better accommodate the needs of their local labour force,” the company added.
Khalid Al Malik, Group CEO of Dubai Properties group said: “Nuzul is well-equipped to ensuring that residents are not only provided with good basic provisions but that they can also enjoy the enhanced living conditions that Dubai is known to offer. In addition Nuzul is an important component of our ongoing efforts to provide comprehensive real estate solutions to our clients.”
Nuzul is a “green” community with a MBBR Sewage Treatment Plant (Moving Bed Bio film Reactor). The plant will be designed for approximately 10,000 residents with a capacity of 3000 cubic meters. The treated water will be pumped for re-use in gardening.
Response to the new labour camp has been positive. The company says there has been significant interest from local business owners, and “a number of complete buildings have already been leased before the official launch of the project.”
Last September, the office of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, imposed new minimum standards across all labour camp accommodation in the Emirate. Dubai hit international headlines earlier in 2009 when a BBC documentary claimed that conditions at one Arabtec labour camp were overcrowded and filthy - claims refuted by the company.
