Town Square Dubai development wins global award

Town Square, Dubai’s stylish green neighbourhood by Nshama, has won the prestigious Gold Nuggets 2016 Award for ‘Best International Site Plan’.

The development, which combines residential properties with a raft of entertainment, retail and leisure facilities for international tourists, is located in New Dubai, near Al Barsha. It’s also close to Arabian Ranches Golf Course, Dubai Polo & Equestrian Club and Al Maktoum International Airport, near the site for the World Expo 2020.

International jury members with strong industry credentials said they were ‘very impressed’ with the outdoor articulation and scale of the 750-acre Town Square, which received the most votes of all 665 entries.
