The surrounding 200m sq ft Meydan City will feature four sub districts spread over a vast area that will include business parks, waterfront residential developments and the Godolphin Tower, in the shape of a racehorse.
 
The Meydan Racecourse and Grandstand will form the centrepiece of Meydan City.
