The Waterfront will house 1.5 million residents and will comprise of Veneto, an exclusive and sophisticated district situated along the Palm Cove Canal.
Veneto is set to be the ultra-chic enclave within Waterfront, which will be a private escape from the hustle and bustle of Dubai offering a distinctive quality of life that is simply unequalled within the city. Uncrowded and expansive, Veneto's amenities are also designed to delight the senses and create a new standard of sophistication. The limited number of contemporary villas and low-rise townhouses make Veneto a true status address in Dubai, and the most sought-after place to live in Waterfront.
Veneto includes only low-rise townhouses and villas. Taken together, these amenities enable Veneto's residents to achieve an enviable quality of life.
Veneto is divided into small walkable neighbourhoods where every amenity and convenience is only a short stroll from home, giving it a feel of comfort and charm. Families have an incredible environment in which to play, to enjoy the company of neighbours and to grow and prosper.
Amenities:
Piazzas
To enhance the livability and attractiveness of the district, Veneto is structured as a series of neighbourhoods, each centred around a piazza. These piazzas are community gathering places with shops, cafés and restaurants to meet residents' daily needs. As the focal point of each neighbourhood, the piazzas add convenience to daily life in Veneto while creating a vibrant and interactive environment for residents to engage with each other.
Commercial Space
Veneto is a mixed-use district with commercial office spaces located in and around the neighborhood piazzas. These commercial spaces allow residents to live and work in close proximity, minimising carbon footprint and affording more family time.
Parks
Veneto includes a variety of open spaces, providing a range of environments for residents of different ages and with varying recreational preferences. Community parks are located throughout Veneto, no more than a five-minute walk from any home, for informal play and recreation.
The Palm Cove Canal
As the northern border of Veneto, the Palm Cove Canal affords residents direct access to the Arabian Gulf and beyond. Making its way across the community, the Canal branches off at several locations within the district, terminating in the neighborhood piazzas and creating water squares. These serve as convenient locations for ferry stops and water taxi pick up and drop off points, as well as enjoyable places to relax by the water's edge. All along the Canal's scenic banks are boardwalks, which are perfect for walking, bicycling or just taking in the view. Together with the parks and other green spaces, the Palm Cove Canal enhances the sophisticated look and feel of Veneto.
Walkability
Veneto's picturesque streets and lanes are specifically designed for walking. The streetscapes are enhanced by the location of garages in the rear of many villas, as well as by extensive boardwalks along the Palm Cove Canal and other waterways. These allow for long expanses of landscaped and shaded footpaths that are ideal for a stroll, a bicycle ride or a walk to the beach. The tree-lined paths also intersect with green spaces, which offer a perfect place for children to play and for adults to sit back and relax.
