Dubai 3D is live: the whole city, every market, on one map you can fly through

Image
Doment has launched Dubai 3D , a free three dimensional map of Dubai, at dubaimap.doment.ai . The skyline is drawn at real building heights, with the Burj Khalifa standing at its actual 828 metres, and the property market is drawn on top of it as separate layers rather than a single cloud of pins. The map carries 1,642 off plan projects , 2,956 resale listings and 87,961 live rental homes grouped into 4,009 building pins, each pin carrying the real count of homes available in that building. Alongside them sit 2,180 real places you can switch on as layers: metro stations, malls, schools, hospitals, beaches, parks and airports.

Where Doment knows the exact building, the camera flies down and lights up the tower itself. Where it only holds the community...
