Does anyone have any info on the area of Business Bay? Pictures would be really helpful also I am currently in the U.S. so I was just curious. Thank you

Yes, just give me a few minutes to find some info

It's another tower development as per usual in Dubai and it'll consist of around 200 buildings. I still don't know why the hell they choose to build skyscrapers when there's more than enough space around to build smaller buildings which don't cost as much. I presume that when your labour costs amount to nothing you can build anything you want. Anyway this development is to be built behind the burj dubai area as shown below and in fact construction is well underway on the creek expansion and on some towers aswell. The creek will be expanded all the way out to the sea through safa park (I hope they don't destroy it in the process).

Here's the official site: http://www.businessbay.ae/




Here you can see its relation to the burj dubai complex:
