Blue of the year 1997 Building Dubai

Posted on: 2/5/06

Mike Wiseman headed off to Dubia for a several year posting last year but his original project got delayed by the "Dubai factor".
Here is a short note from Mike about his work.
" When I came over to Dubai almost 4 weeks ago I was going to be working on
the 'largest shopping Centre in the world' however due to the Dubai factor
(something I have come to learn, nothing stays to plan over here) we are not
appointed on that project yet and I have been transferred to another large
residential development in Dubai.

This project is called Jumeirah Islands and is made up of a series of man
made canals and lakes which are surrounded by 736 luxury villas and
extensive landscaping. The development is approximately AUD$450M and has
been built from nothing but desert on a on a 300 hectare plot. "
Mike has joined other young SUBC alumni of his era insupporting the Rowing Foundation.
