Business Bay (arabisch ‏الخليج التجاري‎, DMG al-Ḫalīǧ at-tiǧārī) ist ein Stadtentwicklungsvorhaben in Dubai, Vereinigte Arabische Emirate. Gebaut wird auf einer Fläche von fast 6000 Hektar, die sich von der Al Khail Road im Osten entlang des bisher um 10 Kilometer künstlich verlängerten Dubai Creek bis zur Sheik Zayed Road im Westen erstreckt. In der rund 6 Kilometer langen Urbanisationszone sollen sich u.a. einmal 230-260 Hochhäuser und Wolkenkratzer in den Himmel recken. Business Bay wird - anders als der Name vermuten lässt - jedoch keine reine Businesszone sein, sondern soll bewusst den Charakter einer gemischt genutzten Zone mit enger Verzahnung von Arbeiten, Wohnen, Einkaufen und Freizeit bekommen. Die Projektentwickler nennen die Quartiere Lower Manhattan und Tokio-Ginza als angestrebte Vorbilder. Business Bay wird eine weitere Free Zone in Dubai bilden, in der sich internationale Unternehmen ansiedeln sollen.Business Bay (Arabic: الخليج التجاري‎: Al-Khaleej Al-Tijari) is a central business district under construction in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The projected population of the entire development is more than 191,000, and the estimated population of employers and others is 110,000, making the total population more than 300,000.[1] Commercial development will comprise 2,653,244 sq ft (246,494.4 m2), which is 18.5 percent of the entire development; mixed use development will comprise 8,520,368 sq ft (59.4 percent); and residential development will cover 3,163,628 sq ft (22.1 percent).[1] Business Bay will cost AED 110 billion (USD 30 billion).[2] Bay Square[edit] Bay Square is a mixed-use community within Business Bay. The entire development will be a pedestrian-only zone, and will include walkways over canals. It will cover over 2,400,000 square feet (220,000 m2) and will be located 1 km away from Sheikh Zayed Road within Business Bay. When completed it will comprise canals, sidewalks, restaurants, cafes and retail stores.
