Where Shapoorji Pallonji builds
International City
International City is one of the most affordable residential addresses in Dubai. The district comprises residential clusters designed to replicate the architectural style of housing in different countries around the world, and offers a variety of comfortable accommodation options for working individuals and families at very reasonable prices.
At the center of the clusters there is the Central Business District, a sub-community of International City. Despite its name, the community consists mostly of residential buildings with 2 and 3-bedroom apartments.
The developer’s initial plans were to construct shopping and warehouse complexes in International City when the construction of the area began in 2002. At the initial stage of construction, there were some problems with garbage disposal, but now the situation has stabilized and the area has turned into a popular place to live.

Downtown Dubai
Downtown Dubai is the tourist, cultural, business and entertainment center of the Emirate, located between old and new Dubai. Although the district has an area of only 26,909,776 sq. ft, it is home to the main sights of the city, which are recognized as the “record holders” of the world, including the tallest skyscraper on the planet, the Burj Khalifa, the world’s largest light and music fountains, The Dubai Fountain, as well as The Dubai Mall, the largest shopping and entertainment complex in the UAE.
Downtown Dubai is a mixed-use development, with Emaar Properties acting as the master developer. The district has existed for over 20 years and combines both traditional oriental architecture and ultra-modern buildings with futuristic designs, such as The Dubai Opera and the adjacent residential complex IL Primo.

About Shapoorji Pallonji
Shapoorji Pallonji is the property arm of a global engineering and construction group founded in 1865, one of the oldest names in the industry. Its flagship Dubai development is Imperial Avenue, a luxury tower in Downtown Dubai and the group’s first international residential project.
For buyers, Shapoorji Pallonji’s appeal is engineering pedigree: a 160-year construction legacy behind a limited Dubai portfolio, which matters most to the investor-analyst and longer-horizon observer segments who weigh build quality and heritage across several research sessions before contacting an agent.
