It had planned to build a Dh1bn development containing 244 apartments and townhomes. However, it became frustrated at the lack of infrastructure development at the site and in August 2010 it said that it was planning to abandon the project.The Lagoons had been launched by Sama Dubai (a former development arm of Dubai Holding) in 2006 and was initially planned as seven artificial islands in Dubai Creek. The project never got off the ground and in 2013 it was relaunched as a joint venture between Dubai Holding and Emaar Properties. Part of the site now forms Emaar&#8217;s Dubai Creek Harbour project &#8211; a new masterplanned community that will be two-and-a-half times bigger than Downtown Dubai with a signature architectural tower designed by Santiago Calatrava that will be at least 100 metres taller than Burj Khalifa. A groundbreaking ceremony for the tower took place in October.Since announcing that it had reached a proposed settlement deal with The Lagoons on December 29, Deyaar&#8217;s shares have climbed by 6 per cent to close at 65.8 fils on Thursday.mfahy@thenational.aeFollow The National&#8217;s Business section on Twitter&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource : thenational.ae&#013;<br \/>\nRead more&#8230;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenational.ae\/business\/property\/deyaar-to-complete-land-swap-deal-for-lagoons-site\" target=\"_blank\">Deyaar to complete land swap deal for Lagoons site<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#013;
