Interesting article on how The Heart of Europe aims at being an environmentally sustainable tourist/residential destination.

Main highlights:

- Solar Panels installation
- Completely recycled water supply
- Rainy Street and Snow Plaza (would be interesting to learn more on these 2 projects and how they are actually going to be sustainable)

There is only one Swedish Bentley Palace left for sale, it's the one that has been used for all the press and demo's so not suprising it's the last to be bought but it also has a lot of construction going on right outside your private beach which I guess isn't a huge selling point either!

An informative and interesting video about the Heart of Europe Dubai. It's in German, but you can click auto-translate in the subtitles section.



"The project, which has been much delayed, not least because of the pandemic, is expected to be finally completed by 2022 and 2023, according to the group’s chairman Josef Kleindienst."
