Peregrine Point is a mixed-use design with 8,500 units of housing and 55,000+ square meters of office and retail space located at the tip of the master plan for Port Rashid, Dubai. The area shall provide housing for 20,000+ people plus all accessory retail, business and entertainment uses. 

The site is located at the end of the new street tram line and ferry terminal on the Port Rashid peninsula.

Port Rashid, in the Gulf City of Dubai, is being replaced by a larger and more efficient seaport five kilometers to the West. This move will leave a great waterfront redevelopment opportunity at Port Rashid. This master plan has been commissioned to re-design this sprawling area as a new residential, commercial and government center.

Within the Port Rashid Masterplan, are the Grand Arabian Canals of Peregrine Point. The Peregrine Point Masterplan's water-oriented design inspiration is seeded from Venice, Italy; by incorporating a hierarchy of canals and streets. The composition focuses on views to the water, produced by breaking apart an otherwise continuous southern arc. The composition takes it cues from the surrounding Arabian architecture which responds to the extreme climate by designing small and efficient apertures and overhangs which deflect the sun’s strong rays. The integration of water and shaded areas work to create a pleasant pedestrian environment in the otherwise harsh desert climate.

The neighboring Burj Khalifa Tower is the tallest building in the world; at 800m / 2,625ft. in height. The second tallest building of the entire development will be at Peregrine Point, and serve as an anchor point that all water traffic will revolve around in the Grand Canals.
