Canal Point Hospital in JLT

Technology and nature live side-by-side at Canal Point Hospital. Combining a world-class medical center with a spa-like wellness center, this state-of-the-art facility provides a holistic approach to medical recovery for patients and onsite support for their loved ones. The seven-story hospital features private patient rooms; VIP suites with attached private living rooms or majlis areas; a 400-seat dining area for staff that also functions as a divisible space for conferences and training; separate outpatient departments distinctively styled for men, women, and children; and three levels of covered parking.

Vast landscaped terraces on the first, second, and fifth floors of the hospital provide immediate outdoor spaces where patients and visitors can relax and rejuvenate. Even closer to the natural world is the Wellness Center, a cluster of single-story structures tucked away on a podium amidst lush landscaping. The tiered, tiled roofs combine with the abundant foliage and the very shapes of the buildings to create the feel of a Thai spa.

Work stops at Canal Point hospital in Dubai (http://www.cnplus.co.uk/news/work-stops-at-canal-point-hospital-in-dubai/1965328.article)

14 January, 2009
Building work on the Canal Point Hospital at Jumeirah Lake Towers has been put on hold after the client Istithmar cancelled the AED500m ($136m) construction contract with the local Al-Naboodah Contracting.



The project involves the construction of a 200-bed hospital in an eight storey building with two basement levels.

The project originally included a hotel and residential block, but these elements were scrapped before construction work started on the project in 2007.

US-based Burt Hill is the consultant. Istithmar Real Estate, which is part of the local developer Nakheel, is the client (MEED 24:3:06).
