Did somebody forget to order the cladding ?? :lol:

Hi,
Dispite Tiger giving me a bank account no: If you check R.E.R.A. website under Tiger, they are listed as an approved contractor, but it also says Marina Pinnacle, TRUST ACCOUNT NOT APPLICABLE, BANK ACCOUNT NOT APPLICABLE. This stinks. I am also trying to sell all mine now, but Tiger will not talk to any agents and are being really obtrusive. Completion dates are also being stated as December 2010. What a shower of shit these people are. I am writing to R.E.R.A. tomorrow, but I think they will give little resolution to the problems we are having.

For what it is worth. Has anyone got any up to date pics. You never know that might have put a few more blocks in.

Since January Tiger have built 17 floors. That one every 11days. I know that is poor for Dubai, but against British building that is not bad going.
I am not defending them, I still think they are a but of lying b******

Has anyone paid money into Tigers new Escrow account?

I just drove by the site and noticed one sheet of glass on the marinna side. I dont know if they are just testing the glass that will be used for the building or glasswork has started, any ideas?

"Sharjah-based contractor Tiger International has opted for Doka's self-climbing formwork SKE50 system to work on the 71-storey Marina Pinnacle in Dubai Marina.

According to the company, the move is to help meet fast construction cycles and a tight deadline.

Although an established user of Doka formwork systems, Tiger International is using the self-climbing formwork system for the first time."


---------------------------

71 floors??? For real??!!

I noticed my comments about Tiger and the prices they are now quoting, has been deleted. Is there any reason? Have I upset someone?

There you go.

Sorry, I thought it was in the interest of Pinnacle purchasers as to what the current prices of the apartments were.

^^ Sure is, but it's also against the forum rules.

:ohno: not again.

Any news about the completion date. Is it as mentioned before pushed till end 2010?

2010 was quoted direct from Tiger.

Thanks. I sent an inquiry to Tiger-Hamdy- on the due date. I don't expect much except the run around as usual if he replies. I going to Dubai solely this time around for my investment with Tiger. I will knock every door whether legal or otherwise. I am getting really sick and tired of their lies. They do have a good amount of my money with them.

I did get an email from Tiger stating the date being 2010. I am taking my case with RERA and putting as much pressure on them as I can to see an end to this scam.

I have just sent a letter to Waleed Mohammed Mohammed, as he is the seller on my conytract. I am sure he is fully aware of what Tiger are doing, delays, ignoring e.mails, not notifying it's clients of delays. But just in case he isn't I will give him the chance to reply and give reasons. I have also asked what Tiger propose to do about compensation. Of course on any development you expect delays, but not 2 1/2 years late.
I will probably just be ignored, but I think Tiger know, there is jack shit we can do about it.
R.E.R.A. is probably the best bet, as if enough complaints are recieved, R.E.R.A. will surely look into Tigers devious methods.

Hi,
Just recieved August update from Tiger.
Almost identical to July.
So bugger all work going on.
They also sent loads of pictures, but they could be from any floor in the building, and the two external shots they took, you could not make out the top of the building, so impossible to count the floors. Crafty sods.

This may be of interest to some Investors. I note the statement that they are moving on to the 51st floor after completing 50th floors on schedule - which schedule was that!.

Nothing but PR. Why does property development have to be such a dishonest business. Tsk, tsk...

Jim
It's called the Taha schedule----we pay all our money and he says ta ha

This Taha guy is a JOKE!!! The only reason he is there is his brother is the Owner of Tiger. We would not have all these issues if we had a real CEO.

first crane (Marina 101 side) going down.

Means topped out??!! :eek:

Imre.

Sorry bit thick on construction side of things. Does this mean anything.

Means topped out??!! :eek:

not at 260m but seems construction is nearing its end :cheers:

Has anyone heard about compensation on the Pinnacle. Mores the point has anyone heard anything about the Pinnacle. Not seen a photo in ages. Did someone say they were going to visit the Tiger offices.

Has anyone managed to get any information from Tiger about proposals for dealing with delay. They are pressurising me to make payments on a revised payment schedule but my fear is that if I do so it will be viewed as my acceptance of new terms which could exclude any compensation for dealys. All they keep saying is that they will deal with the contract and they are unwilling to provide information as to how they propose to deal with the ongoing delays. Any information from others appreciated.

I was offered revised payment plan last year. When I asked about compensation, Tiger told me that was my compensation. Tiger are not adhering to their contract, otherwise we would be sitting in our apartments by now. My contract clearly states completion June 2008. Lying bunch of bar stewards.

Instead of everyone keep moaning about Tiger, it's about time something was done. I e.mail twice a week, I written to the owner of the Tiger, and all just get ignored. Tiger are rude, unprofessional and a disgrace.
Maybe someone can draft a letter of complaint to R.E.R.A. that can be copied by all Pinnacle owners to sign and send on.
If knowone can be bother to write to R.E.R.A or seek legal advise, then they have no reason to complain, they will just have to watch Tiger robbing them of their money and walking all over them.
I am trying to sell my apartments ( please knowone ask how much, I have already had a waste of space asking the ins and outs, who is probably a tall building anorak) My agent contacted me saying Tiger will not release any information. So basically we are stuffed, unless we take legal action.

This is a press release by Tiger on 31st August


The new structure will provide the flexibility that Tiger Group requires to deal with the ever-changing needs associated with its many expanding projects throughout the UAE and the Middle East.

It will also enable the Group to meet the requirements of the expansion plans it has set in place, and ensure continued excellent service to its clients.

As part of the reshuffle, a series of new appointments has been made at top management levels across Tiger Group in order to strengthen its core team.

New managers have come on board at some Tiger Group subsidiaries to undertake such tasks as supervising and executing the Group's existing and forthcoming projects, and setting up strategic plans for the future.

The Group's existing management team has been shifted into a new department - the Facilities Services Department - which will oversee all of the Group's projects and manage all project facilities.

One of the notable results of the organizational restructuring was the promotion of Mohammed Taha from Managing Director to CEO of Tiger Properties, one of the region's most renowned real estate developers and a Tiger Group subsidiary.

Taha's 14 years of experience in the regional real estate and construction sectors makes him eminently qualified to hold this position, and Tiger Group plans to draw on his comprehensive knowledge and understanding of regional property and contracting markets to further build Tiger Properties' already impressive reputation.

The organizational restructuring of Tiger Group came about as the result of the Board of Directors' decision to carefully manage the Group's substantial growth by putting in place a management team to oversee its expansion and to help it keep pace with the accelerating pace of its business development.

The appointment of numerous highly-qualified personnel who have experience in a number of different areas will serve to further enhance the Group's operation, preparing it for significant expansion and growth, and allowing it to retain its leading position across all levels.

Mohammed Taha, is the guy I met at his office, who first of all would not come out, and then gave me a load of b******s about completion September 2009. This guy could not organise a piss up in a brewery, though alone organise a development.
God help us.

Does anyone have any idea who the curtain wall (windows and cladding) contractors are? No sign of anything happening there which is very worrying.
Mag18 has started its outer shell already.:ohno:

Recieved from Tiger today, also loads of photos, nice to see they have started aluminium cladding.

According to a friend of mine who lives in MH, they're certainly working on this - something like floor 55. The design of the floors has changed. The frames are being fixed for the glass...

I have some pictures he has taken, but not sure how to upload them. I am happy to email them to someone if they want to share them on the forum.

Thanks Pinnacle1....could you upload some picture? I'm really impatient for that! :-) What do you think about cladding...is it nice?

Do you know ifthe Completion Date is still expected on June 2010?

Tiger Properties unveils deluxe towers

Tiger Towers, a luxurious project on the Dubai Waterfront, is the latest development from real estate major Tiger Properties, a report said.

Located on the Madinat Al Arab portion of the Dubai Waterfront, the twin condominium towers will rise to 170 meters and 185 meters, respectively, said a Gulf News report.

The towers feature a four-storey podium building and 3,000 sq m of retail space, adding up to a built-up area of 121,500 sq m.

There will also be a 48th floor roof-top restaurant and landscaped areas on the ground level.

'With Tiger Towers, we will establish a new benchmark for buildings in the Waterfront district - one of Dubai's most successful new urban neighborhoods. Tiger Properties envisions this high-rise project as an icon in the city, becoming Dubai's most luxurious urban condominium building,' Taha Mohammad, CEO of Tiger Properties, was quoted as saying in the report.

This is not much help to the Pinnacle purchasers. Now R.E.R.A. has been introduced, all the funds collected on the new project will go to the new project. Unfortunatly all the funds collected on The Pinnacle, a percentage has gone on finishing over Tiger projects, which is why The Pinnacle has had so many delays.
I don't think companies like Tiger should be allowed permission to continue building new projects, when there is so much uncertainty and lack of professionalism in their current projects.

pinnacle1, yes, I agree with you, but then the Marina would be nearly empty... because most of the local developers are crooks and bastards... what a nice imagination to have only 50% of the towers in the Marina...!!!!!

Matters are gone very quiet. Has anyone got any updated photos? Hopefully work is proceeding. Its difficult to get any proposals from Tiger as to how it proposes to deal with delays, yet they continue to press for payments.

Things are getting more quiet because there is no progress at all.
I went yesterday to see the Site and unfortunately it was the same as it was last month, no improvement at all.

If really they want to complete the work they can do it within 6 months time. But they said that the project will be completed in June 2010 to take it easy.

Time has gone since last photo update....Anyone has some picture? Thanks a lot

Marina Pinnacle seems to go ahead speedily....7 floors up on the last service floor....look at the picture in TT discussion!! Maybe there are only 3-4 apartment floors needed to completion....

http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u359/bipinchhabra/P1010478.jpg

This is what i was talking about!!

Marina Pinnacle seems to go ahead speedily....7 floors up on the last service floor....look at the picture in TT discussion!! Maybe there are only 3-4 apartment floors needed to completion....

Mmmmmmmm :ohno:

Marina Pinnacle seems to go ahead speedily....7 floors up on the last service floor....look at the picture in TT discussion!! Maybe there are only 3-4 apartment floors needed to completion....

Is it sarcastic?

No...if you look at the render, you can count 12 balconies (floors) from the last service floor....and compared to this picture there are just 5 floors less... I'm wrong??

let me know

Tiger properties will continue at a slow pace, as they are holding back on the sale of at least two hundred apartments. When other developments catch up, the value of Tigers apartments will have doubled if not tripled, therefore they sale of their two hundred existing, will be equivelent of selling 4-6 hundred at the old price. They do not want current buyers selling, which is why no mortgages are available and why Tiger are so uncooperative, as this would be detrimentel to their future sales.

Here you can see better the improvements.

Thx Joannides

http://i35.tinypic.com/34ywcj4.jpg

If you look at the rendering image here

http://www.emporis.com/en/il/im?id=344794

you can notice 2 things:

1. In the rendering, between 1° service floor and 2° service floor there are 14 floors, while in real picture there are 16.... why? maybe the rendering was wrong....
2. According to the project, the executive floors are 16. Actually they built 7 of them, so there are just 9 floors to complete the structure (or 7 if they changed something in the project, but i don't think so).

With a 1 floor per week rithm, MP needs 2 months more or less to top out!!

I have one bed apartment on 16th floor. When Tiger took me to see it, the 16th floor is 6 above the first service floor, which makes the first service floor level 10. According to Tigers last report they were supposed to be completing floor 61 in September, I dont think so, whatever way you count it.

More bad news, have learnt today, Tiger are now saying completion December 2010.
Probably next month it will be June 2011

Seems reasonable to expect.

However why is this so slow? And where's the cladding?

More bad news, have learnt today, Tiger are now saying completion December 2010.

Ok! and what is the compensation that we can expect for the 6 months delay?

Depassage, keep up. The delay will be 2 1/2-3 years. Completion was supposed to be June 2008. Well according to my contracts, are yours dated later?

:okay:

^^Great shots man !! :eek:

Only 7 more residential floors to go.
I read on a sales site that someone has bought the whole of the 51st floor and is now selling for 29 million. Thats one serious purchase.

It takes over three years to build 60 floors. :nuts: Unbelievable
Around 40 months for 60 floors. :doh:

Does anyone know if MP owners must pay the 1% tax to get Land Registration document? If yes, how can I do that?

thanks for the photos Jo.

Can I ask if anyone has made any progress with Tiger in agreeing revised payament terms to reflect the lengthy delay in completion (Several years). I cant seem to make any progress. If preferred you can Private message me

Today

http://i37.tinypic.com/30k7mms.jpg

What is the official completion date? Is it June 2010 or December 2010?

Can I ask if anyone has made any progress with Tiger in agreeing revised payament terms to reflect the lengthy delay in completion (Several years). I cant seem to make any progress. If preferred you can Private message me


I managed to change and revise my payment term as followings:
The total outstanding 300,000 Dhs.

I have agreed to pay another 100,000 Dhs in three installments every four months (January, May & December 2009).

After that the remaining dues +/- 200,000 Dhs to be paid on completion date

So i take it, it wont be finnishing in June 2009, if your going to pay every 4 months, Right?

http://www.ameinfo.com/176997.html

Take alook at latest press release issued by Tiger

'The timely progression of construction works on the Marina Pinnacle tower is testament to Tiger's highly renowned principles of development that encompass the most stringent dedication to planned delivery schedules and the implementation of the highest international standards of quality.'

I am not sure what clock they are following but this must rank as the worst abuse of langauge whre they mention timely!!! Just three years late and counting.

I Dont Get It :|

It just talks about the apartment, we know what it has and doesn't have, it doesn't really explain about when it will finish or why it takes so long, what a useless statement to produce.

How many floors for topping out??

At least it won one award: The slowest tower in Dubai!

Still like one week ago....it needs just 2-3 floors to completion

At least the other towers are moving along. It would be a disaster if the other towers weren't completed as no-one wants to look out at a building site.

Are Tiger putting pressure on anyone to make payments? They appear to have gone very quite

not heard a word.
Their last e.mail to me said they would contact me with a revised schedule and compensation details

Spoke to Mr Hamdy today, asked why no additional floors had been built in the last month, and what was happening about compensation.
His reply was he did not know what was happening on site, and the last thing Tiger was worrying about at the moment was compensation. I continued to quiz him, but as usual, when he cannot answer questions he hangs up. Tried to call him back, but he was busy. Looks like they are in the shit.

Hi Pinnacle,

Don't waste your time with him, hes going to drive you crazy :bash: . He lied to me in my face...in person...

Hi

Does anyone actually know of someone or has managed to sell an apartment in marina pinnacle?

Please can you pm me if you prefer.

Ramzy

What kind of capital appreciation could one expect on completion? 10, 20 , 30%?

Thanks to Desert Diver

I did recieve pictures from Tiger a couple of days ago, all internal, but a lot of tiling and marble going on, pictures of completed kitchens, so maybe they are doing a lot of internals. It has all got to be done I suppose, I'd be happy at the moment just to know it is going to be completed.

Can you post the pictures please or is it all take take take.

I have personaly posted my pics on this thread of your tower and i have no financial interest in it.

Come on lets see the pics.

Were all one big SSC happy family. :)

Yes HT is right! Please post them! we are all waiting to see internal appliances...

They have sent them over on pdf, and as much as I have tried to find a way of sending them I don't have a clue. Would love to post them, if anyone can instruct. Sorry.

HT,
Considering the builder took these photos on his Indian mobile phone, they are not that bad.

Yes thats true,

Maybe when they sell a few more units he can upgrade his phone to 5megapics +. :)

Looks very good. Nice large tiles, very modern. And I like the light wood units. Certainly much better than we're going to get in the Torch.

I don't like the kitchen wood.... but which apartment type is? T01,T02...

Any news from tiger? I'm happy that they are going ahead on internal fittings, while the external seem to be "on hold"...

Can someone remind me what a T10 aspect is? Does it face The Torch directly in front?

T10 is a one bedroom with a small balcony directly facing The Torch, but with a good marina view till MST is a parking area....

:omg: :okay:
That'll be the view from PENTOMINUM in 2020 !! Can't wait !!

Don't know if this is true, but I have just recieved an e.mail to say construction has stopped on Marina Pinnacle, and a for sale sign has gone up.
Has anyone any news.

^^ We will see as more pictures come.

I too have received an email from someone else who has an apartment on MP regarding a for sale sign and construction stopped.

I have emailed a friend of mine in MH (assuming he hasn't fled Dubai) to see if he can shed light on this. :ohno:

If this is true, then I think we have a bigger problem on our hands.:bash:

^^

not true. just drove past MP 10 mins ago. construction HASNT stopped. the big for sale sign actually says "Luxury apartments for Sale":)

Thanks Joanrides.
The e.mail I recieved had gone to at least 150 adresses. Why are people always scaremongering?.

Thanks a lot Joannides!!

I hoped it was a "joke"... Tiger would be crazy to stop works now!! Anything is going well finally....
When someone can take other pictures from inside, he makes us happy...

I think it was put out by Tiger or an ex employee, otherwise how would someone have access to 150 plus e.mail addresses of Tigher clients.

This is what I recieved, maybe someone knows this idiot.


There is no sign of any construction going on there and there is a big For Sale sign on the building itself. These guys are a bunch of palestinian /syrian yahoos who have duped many people... good luck...


Lastly, take me off this list... i am done with this issue and tiger and the pinnacle that might never be...

Forward it to Tiger. If it is an (ex) investor they will know. The last thing you need in the current climate is for someone to start rumors and start a panic.

Good luck with your investment and hang in there!

Spoke with Mr Hamdy today, he confirmed construction is still going ahead, and the site can be inspected at any time, he confirmed things had slowed down, as per the rest of the marina, but they were still hoping for completion July 2010. So we can all sleep tight now, because we all trust Mr Hamdy.:ohno:

Did he mention about compensation for delays?:ohno:

I would love to get compensation, but I am more interested in having the project finished. I think if everyone starts claiming compensation as well, then the site will probably never get finished. I am not saying we should not get compensation, I just think the time is probably not right at the moment.

It is quite apparent now that for most of Dubai's luxurious apartments (apart from a few exceptions) the term "5-star interior quality" is obviously being compared to the average slum dwellings of Botswana.

Recieved e.mail today, Tiger chasing last but one payment. Being it is supposed to be going into an Escrow account, I thought they were not allowed to draw on that money until they had reached the equivilent amount of construction. Told them I was not paying until compensation had been agreed. Right or wrong? We will have to wait and see.

Had major row with Hamdy today, he made it quite clear that Tiger were not going to pay any compensation, also would not answer why Marina Pinnacle was registered as one building and not apartments, and why was money still being asked to be sent to Walheed Mohammed Mohammed (the owner) and not Marina pinnacle. It stinks.

Has anyone approached RERA regarding any of these issues. As the agency with responsibiilties for the regualtion of the developmetns I would have thought that they may have and interest/responsibility in some of these issues?

I sent e.mail yesterday to R.E.R.A. awaiting a reply.

They only open 8 -2.30 Monday to Thursday

I think everyone should be sending them an e.mail, it will take more than just mine. Although I do have e.mail addresses of at least 50 other purchasers and have told R.E.R.A. that I was speaking on behalf of all of us.
We will see, I don't think R.E.R.A. have any balls, which is why these developers ignore the Dubai laws, and it would appear getting away with it.
I emailed Hamdy again today, as I have still not had a response from yesterday. I have told him that the contract I signed and the payment schedule, related to a completion date of June 2008, therefor as there was a completion delay of 30 months, then all my payment schedule dates should be put back 30 months. This still means that they would have been sitting on at least 60% of my money for over 3 years.
Obviously still no reply. The only way they will do anything, and thats if we all keep on at them.
There does not seem to be any passion on the Pinnacle forum, unlike the Torch. Maybe people have just accepted they will loose money, and are happy with it.

aa

aa

I sent a similar email to Hamdy expressing the same points as Pinncale1. They are sitting on over 75% of my money. I believe we should act collectively to express our issues to RERA.

I am sure you all are aware RERA has over 35 Billion worth of complaints on their hand from various projects.

Thanks Dubai Steve

from 20th March

Has anyone heard about registering our apartments.

Thanks to Joannides

Everything is stopped....

http://i42.tinypic.com/2iqy22v.jpg

How did you come to that conclusion?

The floor construction have been stopped for 3-4 weeks. The cladding is going very very slow. For the interiors I can't judge, but the overall impression is not good.

Does anybody have any information about when this project will finish ?

not before 2011 if not 2012 ...

03/April/2009

Marina Pinnacle and MAG 218

http://i42.tinypic.com/fckjl.jpg

This project is a disaster in term of delivery

There is absolutely no work going on there...

Received an email from Hamdy stating the he will apply the contract terms to force me to pay the remaining installment. I have paid over 75% since 05 and my reply to him is, I see you in court.

I not lobbying here but we should be thinking/acting collectively as investors
because no doubt we are being f---ed in lieu of what's happening in the world economies.

Totally agree. I to have told Hamdy, they are not recieving any more money from me. I had a massive argument with him and called him a liar and his company cheats. I think it is pointless paying anymore money, as it will be just more money to loose. They have told so many lies I just don't trust them. I don't care if they take the property back and pay me my money back less the 20% stoppages as per contract. I would still be better off. I have contacted R.E.R.A. but they are totally useless and are on the construction companies sides. No one is ever going to form a group to stop these crooks, so I now think it is every man for himself.
If Tiger had not held back 400 units, thinking they were going to sell them at a higher price near completion, they would not be in this mess. It is all down to greed. If anyone thinks they are going to get compensation, they need their head testing. You will be lucky if you ever get an apartment.
If anyone who owns a property in this development, and who actually gives a shit that their money is going to be lost, please pm me. I will give an update in one week on how many people actually care.

Almost 4 years are gone since the first floor was up !! Unbelievable !! Still always NOT topped out... :doh: :wallbash:

Stephan you're absolutely right!! :bash:

Even if in these pictures, taken by Desert Diver yesterday, we can note that while glasses are going very slow, the external finishings seems good, particularly in the second picture

Just recieved this from someone who has also been experiencing problems from Tiger with threats over non payments

According to ESCROW LAW no Developer can or could collect ay payments but through the ESCROW ACCOUNT.



To be able to collect the following payment(s) the DEVELOPER should send a copy of the Escrow latest report mentioning the percentage that he reached in his project and have the right to claim the payment as per the ESCROW report. Meaning that if you do not receive any ESCROW report the Developer can not ask you to make any payment at all.



The ESCROW law has been established to protect buyers from wrong pressures from Developers and has organize the percentage of payments which deletes automatically the Payment Schedule mentioned in our Contract Agreements.



The Project being delayed beyond the date mentioned in it will automatically be organized by ESCROW percentage.



WITHOUT ESCROW REPORT NO FUTHER PAYMENT(s). This is final and please stop asking the same question. The answer is there by the Land Department to protect us.



My advise is for you to answer Developer’s demand for next payment is to answer him that you are ready to pay provided he sends you the copy of the ESCROW report he received lately and that you will abide by the LAW and not by the Agreement’s schedule because the ESCROW LAW already deleted that schedule.

Today in the gulf news one bedroom on sale at 490,000 AED.
The ad say "good size apartment on the third floor" how big can it be?
Price seems really low..............

I have just seen this ad on agents website


Apartment FLocation: Marina Pinnacle - Dubai
A prominent 1 bedroom apartment of Marina Pinnacle located in Dubai Marina close to Jebel Ali Free zone, Dubai Internet and Media Cities and offers a sophisticated multi-cultural community lifestyle.Bayut ID:399808Type:ApartmentStatus:For SaleBedrooms:1Area: 749 Sq. Ft. Price: 3,333,523 AED

So it just goes to show what a load of b*****ks these agents are talking.

Did many of you get the email from Tigers Marketing department outlining the apartments they are selling off. Best of luck to them at those prices. (My apartment type listed at three times what I paid!!!).
At least they have updated their website www.tigergroup.net :wtf:

Yes I got one as well, absolute bargin, I think I will buy six.
I think they have lost the plot, fancy trying to sell to existing customers, who paid a fraction of their current prices.

Pinnacle1, what do you mean when you say "they have lost the plot"? I'm warried about it...

Probably a PR excercise to make existing investors think "wow look how much my investment is worth now".

Take the heat off a bit.

No Icepoleman. Obviously they have not that plot. Mind you the amount of work that is going on, maybe they have and the workers cannot find it.

sorry I meant icemannapoli

Looking at the work on the site, maybe you're right!! :-)

Recieved e.mail today from Tiger, offering 1 bedroom marina facing apartment,35th floor, for the bargin price of 2,465,909

just out of interest, has anyone had their property registered at land registry.

just out of interest, has anyone had their property registered at land registry.

No I haven't.
The marketing department seem to be the only Tiger dept working at the moment. I received an email from them today asking if I wished to purchase an apartment in a new development to be handed over in 2012. As if!!

Is Asif, the man who tried to sell you one.:lol:

Thanks Imre

Just read interesting if not worrying article, about Dubai changing an existing law to benefit developers

Legal changes

The Dubai government has indicated that it is to make certain amendments to article 11 of property Law 13 2008, regulating the system of dealing with defaulters.

Law 9 of 2009 will serve to clarify how much developers can keep if investors default on payments. If at least 80% of the project has been completed prior to default, the investor loses all money paid to that point. The property will then be auctioned as compensation to the developer to account for the missing increments.

If at least 60% of the project has been completed prior to default, the developer is entitled to keep 40% of the original purchase price. If less than 60% has been built the developer is only entitled to keep 25% of the purchase price.
If construction has not been begun prior to default, but this is not due to 'negligence or omission on the developer's part', the developer may keep 30% of the installment money paid up to that point.


There is going to be a lot of properties up for auction. It stinks.

What is happening at the Pinnacle? Is Tiger finished finally? Bancrupt? There is nothing going on on that jobsite for months and months.

They are working very very slow....

They need to build the last 6 floors, but I think they are still thinking if do it or don't!

The problem is that many people is not paying the installments and maybe they are going to have a great number of flats empty....

I would like to know, is there any work happening on this tower despite being very slow?

I am living quite vis a vis, and whenever I am at the pool or on my balcony, there is absolutely no activity going on.

What is the completion date announced by TIGER?

Last year it was this year. this year it is next year, I think you know the next line.

Some years ago they were advertising the tower as the tallest residential tower in the World, despite the title at the time was held by a recently completed way, way much taller tower that had just dethroned a Dubai tower already taller then what The Pinnacle was supposed to be. :nuts:

WOW it seems they built up one more floor!! :banana:

- 5 floors to completion...but at this speed 5 months needed...:ohno:

Thanks a lot Pinnacle1...did you see the interiors? How they are coming up?
Did you see many workers on site or not?

Things are getting done but slowly.
Had meeting with three of two of the directors, usually bull, but at least it is still going forward. They are still saying Dec 2010.
Only looked at floors 16 and 21. Tilings finished, balcony doors in, lifts operational. Lot of work still to be done.
Tiger said 72% complete. Don't know where that figure came from. I guess it is just a case of waiting.
Builders on site were very helpful though, and did not mind showing us where ever.

Thanks for these info.... let's hope for the end of 2010...but all we know that it's quite impossible!!

So, if you have some picture of the enteriors, please post it to let us to judge the fittings...

Thanks

Thanks for updates Pinnacle1. Worried that we haven't been given any monthly updates recently.

Would anyone know what the area size of the blacony would be on an T10 (747 sq/ft) apartment?

I have got t10, when we were there 2 weeks ago, we stood on our 21st balcony. Good size, roughly 10ft x 4ft maybe slightly bigger, views at the moment, really good. marina and sea. Tiger advertise our apartments as 1061 sq ft not 747.

We're on the 12th floor. Looks like fab sea and marina views. Was the torch blocking views to the marina?

What you see in my photos, is the actual view you would get if you were sitting on your balcony.

Awsome. Clear views to the sea. The marina view looks fab for the next few years at least. Thanks.

Hi all,

anybody has some picture of interior fittings?

I'm still curious to see the quality.

Thanks for the pic Imre.

If you compare this last photo with that of the 26/June you can see a difference. The balconies are White. Is this cladding?

yes, the white panels cladding has begun there.
