Dubai Investment Park

Dubai Investment Park (DIP) is one of Dubai’s largest and most significant master-planned mixed-use developments — a 2,300-hectare (47 km²) integrated township in the Jebel Ali district, established in 1997 by Dubai Investments PJSC. It is divided into two main sections: DIP 1 (to the west, more residential) and DIP 2 (to the east, more industrial/commercial). The overall master community comprises three major zones: industrial (light to heavy manufacturing and logistics), commercial (offices, showrooms, retail) and residential (7 distinct sub-communities). It is home to 4,200+ companies, 100,000+ workers, 12,000+ residential units and 160,000+ residents.

Dubai Investment Park was established in 1997 and is owned by Dubai Investments Park Development Company (DIPDC) — a wholly owned subsidiary of Dubai Investments PJSC, one of the UAE’s leading listed public joint-stock companies on the Dubai Financial Market. Dubai Investments PJSC was founded in 1995 and has over 19,800 shareholders. DIPDC serves as the master developer and ongoing manager of the 47 km² community, overseeing infrastructure, planning and regulatory compliance. Individual sub-communities were developed by subsidiary or partner entities: Green Community by Properties Investment LLC; Ritaj by Dubai Investment Real Estate (DIR); Dunes Village and Ewan Residences by related entities.

Dubai Investment Park is located in the Jebel Ali district of southwest Dubai, at the intersection of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Emirates Road (E611). It borders Jumeirah Golf Estates to the north, Dubai South to the south, and Dubai Production City (IMPZ) to the northeast.

Yes — DIP is highly family friendly, particularly Green Community which is consistently rated among Dubai’s best family communities. The wider DIP master development has 6 international schools on-site — an exceptional provision for an affordable community. Green Community’s gated, traffic-free, lake-side environment is peaceful and safe for children. Playgrounds, community pools and recreational facilities are spread across all sub-communities. Nurseries, clinics and pharmacies are within the community. The combination of affordable rents, quality schools and green open space makes DIP one of Dubai’s top family communities outside the premium price bracket.

DIP is generally pet-friendly, especially in Green Community, which is noted for its walking trails, lakeside paths and open green spaces. Ewan Residences and Green Community are specifically described as having pet-friendly amenities. Apartment buildings in Ritaj and Dunes Village have variable policies — always confirm with building management. The community’s low-traffic streets, parks and green corridors make it one of the better affordable communities in Dubai for pet owners. Veterinary clinics are in the Motor City and Jebel Ali area, approximately 10–15 minutes away.

DIP offers a self-contained, practical suburban lifestyle — community-oriented, green and quiet, distinctly different from Dubai’s urban hubs. Green Community is often described as a true ‘village’ — with its own Courtyard by Marriott, walking trails around lakes, weekend community events and a strong expat family identity. Ritaj and Dunes Village attract young professionals and workforce residents who value affordable, well-managed housing close to their Jebel Ali or Dubai South workplaces. DIP residents benefit from the convenience of a ‘city within a city’ — schools, shops, clinics and recreation all accessible without leaving the community.
