How long has the project been in planning?
The project was announced in September 2003, following two years of extensive planning, research development and design. Construction commenced shortly after.
For whom is The World intended?
The World is a leisure, residential and tourist development that has attracted local and international interest. Potential buyers include individuals looking to purchase islands for their private use as well as investors and leading international hotel groups. Only selected buyers who have met the necessary criteria as stipulated by Nakheel will have the chance to purchase their own island. They must possess the ability to purchase, develop and maintain an island, as these islands cannot be resold. The World represents a variety of commercial opportunities for developers.
