Why Dubai's $30 Billion City was Abandoned
Vložit

- Dubai is known for completing impossible megaprojects, and this one is truly incredible itself. Meydan One was a brand new City planned to be build directly next to Dubai back in 2015. 6 years after construction began, the developer has gone bankrupt, leaving the city completely abandoned. Throughout the video, I explain the multiple developers involved, the different parts of the project, and what the future holds for a megaproject like this one.
The biggest part of this project is Meydan One Mall, which was planned to be one of the biggest malls in Dubai. Meydan Properties, the developer of the mall, is currently out of money to finish the project. While the residential phase of the project is still in progress by a group called Azizi Developments, the rest sits completely abandoned.
Dubai is a city in the United Arab Emirates. Dubai is home to the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, and a massive new development called District 1. Dubai is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Dubai, UAE, tourism, economy, District One, Meydan One.

For Everyone saying that this project is not abandoned, let me explain a few things- I thought this video would be an interesting topic after seeing an article from Bloomberg talking about how the developer, The Meydan Group, was having financial trouble. You can read the article below. After more research, I found out that this was a massive project, and that some parts of it have not even been started yet. While the District One Apartments are still under construction, the megamall in the center is abandoned as the article explains below. I hope this clears up any confusion.

thank you!
As a person who is living in this community (D1) the Shopping mall is constructing but delayed due to covid-19 (from my house would takes 10 mins walking, 3 mins driving ), and the house is over 100% + (profit) in just "1 year" I bought the house price $3 million and now worth at least $7 M (in USD) and The Meydan Group honestly have never heard LOL, They gave each of lands community to separate developers... and the houses still in demand.. people now looking for ready to move in properties.
Ps. I only lived here 3 months a yr (2 months in winter, 1 month in summer)
@@Thinklikemm And there I thought I was rich buying a million-dollar Villa in Jumeirah Park, there goes my dream!
@@Nounooon my friends lives in the palm, he was considerated to move here but as a price increase he decided to stay there... I mean 3 to 7 is kinda too much and I agreed
Anything non US is always a disaster for Yankee media...
They even have a light rail system in their shopping mall. Met with some of the techs that set up the system. Told me their biggest problem is the sand. The sand was so fine that it got into lots of machine parts and caused the system to jam or parts to ware out. At the end the solution was to hire migrant workers to clear the sand off the rail, doors and control panels before the system starts every morning.
light rail systems are very common in city airports, but i have never seen sand being part of a light rail systen
@@pinkribbon1007 So do I but from what I gather from those techs who worked there they said there is one in the shopping mall and its used to ferry people all over the mall and to the car park.
Sand is not the issue, money and covid is the issue
Man, did they BS you or are you BS us??? I work at that mall (Mall Of The Emirates, or MOE), and NO! It does NOT ferry ppl to their cars!! It's there fir the ski slope at that mall. That's it! U ski down, take the ferry right back up again.
@@jackoalltrades5510 Did they mean the MOE? If that’s true then clearly the guy who made this video isn’t living in the UAE and hasn’t updated himself.
I bought my apartment in this city in 2016, promised to be delivered in 2018, and as expected, up to today I don’t have my unit. No refund, no compensation, only waiting… And no matter how many times you visit the developer and the land department, no one follows rules or contract, such a pity for an incredible city like Dubai
Dubai is so far from an incredible city, the whole thing is a glorified shopping mall, just a bigger las vegas with somehow less history and culture which I honestly thought was impossible. In Dubai you have to cross 6 freeways to get to the nearest convenient store, a 6 minute drive is a 2 hour walk, you have 100 story skyscrapers sitting directly next to American style single family suburban housing. Not to mention that with unlimited desert land, Dubai still destroys its ecosystems and oceans by building out into the sea more and more and more. The entire gigantic city also has less public transit than a city one tenth its size in Europe or East Asia. And oh yeah, the whole city was built using slave labor, wouldn’t really call that an “Incredible City.”
I will never understand why people buy unbuilt property.
Dubai isn't an incredible city, its a mish mash of SIM city like projects and its all very fake.
@ghost mall he or she won't be getting that place. They have lost their money.
That is why I don't like buy properties in that manner!
I thought they have to pay you 5% on your principal after they miss the delivery date by one year? My understanding is that that is the law.
subscribed immediately I watched this. such great quality video, it's hard to accept that you have just 787 subscribers today. It can only get better from now on.
It's a good video!
One nitpick, though: It is slightly inaccurate to call it "a new city next to Dubai". It is a city district IN Dubai, albeit a very self-contained one. But if you look at the map, most of Dubai is built that way: as self-contained districts surrounded by bigger roads, with few connections to their neighbouring districts. This "superblock" style of development happened because entire districts were sold to big developers at a time, with each developer retaining absolute control of what to build in their district. Most developers want residents and tourists to stay on their property and not stray too far, so they make their district as self-contained as possible with few ways to connect to other districts. They have connections to the highways to give general access to the area, but you usually need to drive for ten minutes to visit your neighbour who lives a couple hundred meters away on the other side of the highway. Forget walking there, the pedestrian infrastructure is beyond a joke.
Even the area called "Downtown Dubai", with the Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa, is just a particularly aggressively developed superblock by a single developer, Emaar. It does not serve as the downtown to the city at all. Not any more than any of the other districts that attempt to be a downtown, at least.
In short, the whole city is a patchwork quilt of independent projects with no coherent cityscape at all. Many of these superblocks were also abandoned in the middle of construction, or had their plans scaled back drastically. Dubai is a city that builds a lot of fancy stuff, but it tends to promise ten times more than it actually builds. For instance, there have been about two dozen serious proposals to build towers taller than 400 meters in the city, after the financial crisis. *Every single one* of them has stranded. Dubai currently has three skyscrapers taller than 400 meters, but all of them began construction long before the crash of 2007. The twenty-odd rest have all failed, and the list keeps getting longer every year as new projects are announced, fail to drum up sufficient investment, and then abandoned.
Good point, I completely get what your saying. I only called it a new city, because as I researched for this video, many articles referred to it as Mohammed Bin Rashid City, when technically its just called District One. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Dubai is the biggest timeshare scam in history, Cities that will be dead on arrival with no industry or commerce or even the utilities infrastructure to support a living vital city.
Man, you need to tell it to all those investors. Go Google the apartments being sold there, investors from all over. I guess when you compare Dubai to some places, at least the ruler has a vision, rather than than being led by politicians just trying to help themselves.
@@_truthful_q_ vision? What vision? My little sister builds better functioning and connected cities in Minecraft than all of those stupid Gulfers who got not taste, education, culture or vision.

Maybe it would be better to focus on greening the desert & build lot of desalination plants (& concerning research facilities) to ensure food & water security esp in absence of oil revenue in the future. Dubai has achieved a lot of tourism potential already, so now more needs to be done to have the basic needs of locals safeguarded for the coming times!
@death to the suburbs Yeah absolutely. But even before the sewer system for cities, they should have social equality & human rights, enough is that Middle Age mentality! We are all humans. I'm fed up with consistent violations in Middle East.
it's awesome, but they probably need to think beyond just tourism when planning to build new cities
I lived in this community, yes they want to build luxury community not just for tourism

UAE is good at starting mega projects that turn out to be a mirage. They are just after the records.
Most projects have been completed, some not. Dubai overall is amazing. Stop speaking out of your ass
I visited the construction site of the mall and there are small movements is happening there and if it continued like that it’s more likely to finish after 2025
but sadly there are no plans for now to start building the residential tower

The world economy has faced so many challenges in the last few years that caused many delays ad crisis. To Dubai’s credit they have always managed to find solutions despite the challenges and delays as they achieved so many landmarks beyond any other city in the world
I have faith in Dubai’s ability to find solutions as they have for so many years despite the negative cretics and the hard world economy
Dubai has achieved what no other city even dreams
🤪
In your delusional minsdset Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong are in a different planet right ? Lol . They have achieved more than Dubai without cheap labor.
Wael Abdallah I'm American.I have never seen such building projects as in Dubai.What I want to know is how do you make a living in Dubai?All the office space and condos cost a fortune.I just can't imagine that there are this many rich people in the world that have gone to Dubai.Who is occupying all these office buildings.I know the rent costs a fortune.What kinds of businesses occupy these office buildings?How do people afford dining out in Dubai?Dining out is a fortune.A one week's vacation will cost about $20 thousand US dollars.What do I do in Dubai as a tourist?There is no night life because there is no liquor.So basically I would have to stay in my room at nighr because there is nothing to do.
@@yurlim As a resident of Singapore and Dubai and investor in HKG company, to say that they've achieved more without cheap labor is a cheap shot. Our whole civilization is built on migration from low resource areas into higher resource ones. Johor-Woodlands is one of most traversed border crossings in the world, where "cheap labor" from Bolehland comes to Singapore, works for the day and then goes back to JB, what would you say about Batam-Jurong ferries with laborers from Indonesia? For Hong Kong, research "shoebox living", or what really goes on in not-so-fancy skyscrapers of Kowloon. Haven't even touched Tokyo. Belittling one region to praise another is a very shallow comparison indeed.

I have ben cycling the Meydan loop almost 3 times each week for the past 3 years and indeed, the mall carcasses has not seen any progress. The completed villas look nice but cut off from the city by a main highway and no stores around. Just a collection of luxurious cages accessible by car only ( or bike for whoever wants to risk ones life on Dubai streets). With more life around it, it could indeed be a nice setting. However, there, just like for most of Dubai, it is designed in a XX century logic and represents pretty much the pinacle of the past century mindset. Not a XXI century one.
They copy the worst aspects of the American Suburban style planning.
Well said.. More importantly how on earth do you cycle that much in that heat and continue to survive?

Wondering who is gonna buy these properties since every Emirates has home , are they targeting foreigners
Yes indeed. AED 750K apartment or villa and you can get residence visa. Lot's of activity in the real estate sector this past year. I guess, it's safe compared to New York or London, and most of the year the weather is good if you avoid 2 or 3 months of humidity.

That's why you have to take on projects sections at a time. Build and sell one section then build and sell another section. Going too big too fast is a recipe for disaster for any business. Live and learn I guess.
In my country some residential property developers have been known to inflate the % of houses sold (that they can later proudly say in their ads) by selling them across multiple phases, in smaller quantities per phase
Oil at $ 100+ should generate plenty of surplus in the Gulf. But how much will come to the UAE and how much remain or go into Saudi ?
Azizi Rivera project supposed to be completed in 2019. However, this project is still showing 80% completion for the last eight months for phase 1. They keep promising hangover from quarter to quarter extensions. Please don’t get trapped in early payment deal office.
I lived here in this community I made atleast 100% profit from property value in the past 1 yr bought $3 m now price at $7 m
@@Thinklikemm ,, bravo !!!
Clients normally just pay about 30% and the rest will be paid on the project hand over I don't think any clients can get trapped because of 30%
Stop with the negativity there are delays everywhere in life sometimes beyond our control
Yep, I bought in 2016, promised to deliver in 2018. And now I m still waiting. Azizi is taking our money without any guilt
Used to live in Dubai, and drove past Meyden One multiple times. It just seems like a quiet little cul-de-sac area at best.
This project will not be completed. Dubai have abandoned so many, much smaller projects (just drive along Sheikh Zayed Road, multiple half complete buildings have stood there for years), including the Dubai Pearl, on the base of the Palm. No way would they commit to completing Meydan One until it is guaranteed demand will return... which will not. The dizzy heydays of the past have gone.
Living in Sobha Hartland next to it. Amazing they are still selling apartments as lagoon facing when there is not and maybe never will be a lagoon.
The problem is who wants to live in Dubai?
BRUH WHAT IS THAT QUESTION😭 literally everyone and millions of people want to come and live and work here it’s a dream, it’s one of the top tourist and foreigner destination in the world, literally the safest country in the world and best economy
Rich ppl 😂😂😅
You should make a video about Khazar Islands in Azerbaijan. It's similar to this one, just much worse.
the projects become a reality however. if the cities stay empty ......
a big problem with the new big cities in the world is that you cant just force a huge population to move in bc you build something. this takes time. and managing these cities is a monstrous task.
I thought you presented this very optimistically. I would consider this all folly.

Is this a college project video?
Its not abandon..only taking time to finish.. District one is already an active residential..All the mega project needs fund and there are many factors affecting its delay.. but this is not abandon..
if you genuinely believe all the mega projects will be revisited and finished good for you, but let's be honest, Dubai has a history of promising and planning extravagance and either massively scaling down or cancelling it.
I hope is correct. The Residences of District One were supposed to be delivered last June 2021. The contract has been breached. I purchased the apartment for the name of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. I believe I deserve to know when the construction will restart and when the apt will be ready to occupancy
Dubai’s strategy ; build it and they come and if you run out of money borrow from Abu Dhabi and if that doesn’t work either abandon or pray EnshAllah
THATS VERY NICE ONLY TO FAIL, SAD,,,
Nothing can stop us, all the way up.
Hi guys, someone knows when the residences of District One will be completed? They stopped last June and they never restarted the construction. We paid 55% to have nothing?
My apt in Residence 14 ready next month. They are currently handing over in building 15 and 16
expo 2020 is the last chance to recover some money, after that Dubai future is uncertain !
Why?
Sorry to see the plight of the plans.
The project is very big
District one which is by Maydan and now naheel who built the palm and other big communities merged to Maydan and taking over the projects there, Covid as well somehow effected to the projects in Dubai! However, after expo since Ruler of. Dubai Shaik Muhammad Bin Rashid named this city and will complete it! Dubai has earned a lot from the 2021 and will be investing soon to the mega project and finish it by 2024
How do you know? Of course everyone purchased the residences in District One considering the name of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Nevertheless money paid and no info from the developer regarding the restarting of the construction. Sadly, not expected in a city like Dubai
we bought an apartment in Residence 13 , I have no idea what's happening now with the construction.. no one send us any information of it.. only receive emails to ask us to pay.. and also looks like they have changed another developers as well( good to read your information, indeed, the email was sent by Nakhell this company , I really thought it is another international fraud syndicates !

@@kiturselassie813 ?
Building in Dubai is very difficult. Most developers can’t meet government deadlines and if you don’t get it corrected in a timely manner, the government takes over your property and project. It’s basically a way the Dubai government takes what they want. Good way to launder money.
Well, these days most governments are corupt. I hear Angela Merkel of Germany was an exception, and the New Zealand prime minister seems good too, but many others are corupt, it’s just whether you find out or not.
Hi If you dont know the truth dont put comments like this. You are taking a job from goverment by accepting their terms and conditions, If you cant meet their deadlines as per the terms and conditions dont take the job. once you take the job you have to finish as per your agreement. I have been working with dubai goverment projects since 2009 and i know very well about the situations. The goverment will not take over your property or project if you delay. there will be delay fine as per the contract terms thats all.
@@aneesalhoty You are right. Procurement and contracts at this level are the same anywhere, you deliver as per your contract or there are penalties.
On top of this, we just have to look at Dubai, the amount of buildings, if there were so many issues it wouldn't be as advanced as it is. Just look at the metro compared to London or New York. They say the people get the ruler they deserve.
@@aneesalhoty do you know how many contractors have NOT BEEN PAID BY THE MEYDAN GROUP …?
@@relaxandlivelife7093 do you know how many contractors are getting paid by the government group??
Oh and the entire development is called Mohammed Bin Rashid City or MBR for short
do they include the sewage system for this ir are they using trucks? lol
The problem with Dubai is oversupply of housing with low demand.
At the same time the pricing is equivalent to London pricing without any comparison at all!!
I remember walking in the Dubai Marina where I was living during the night and checking all the highrises where the majority of them were dark showing no proof of inhabitants inside.
That proves the real picture behind the fancy buildings that got even worse with Covid where many expats moved back to their countries.

Normally I wouldn't bother myself commenting but seriously, shut your negative mouth. This city is a weaving tapestry in all directions, cultural, business, industry, building... it goes on.
And it will.
late... no one tell the owners when the Residences of District One will be delivered (supposed to be finished last June 2021). We paid 55% for nothing? We deserve at least to know when they will restart the construction
Well, there are a lot of abandoned projects, which you may consider late, but we all know that they won't be restarted (creek tower being a prime example).

I love Dubai for how crazy it is. But man is it a messy city full of independent projects that don't connect to each other in terms of the city planning as a whole.
This city is truly just a showcase of architecture. Not a true city with actual city planning done to it. Even the skyline is all over the place; you look at it from a distance and you are like "Where the f*ck is the center of the city??".
So yeah. Love Dubai, but it's got so many issues it's totally understandable why so many city planners give it a lot of hate lol.
A lot of false information. There are other projects in this community other than azizi, and some of them are completed. The footage you’re showing is District one apartment not azizi.
Being developed is being a green city not heartless and sinfully built like this city.

One issue with Dubai is that they focused so much on building large developments with complete disregard to the housing crisis faced by citizens there, that money could have we to house its people before importing wealthy immigrants to live there and now the developments stand empty.
Prodigal leadership.
