Nakheel, one of the world's premiere property developers behind some of the most iconic projects in Dubai has announced the launch of its latest unique property development, The Lost City, a new project that recreates a series of old lost cities from different parts of the ancient world that was discovered after centuries of them being lost and forgotten.

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

The properties in the Lost City are going on sale from tomorrow.

Sultan Ahmad Bin Sulayem, Chairman, Nakheel, said: 'As the leading property developers in the region, Nakheel, with the Lost City project is offering the investors a unique opportunity to own a piece of history in Dubai. The Lost City in the form of villas, town houses and apartments, complete with old elevations from the different regions it inspires recreates legendary old lost cities of the ancient world to suit a wide variety of customer tastes, needs, preferences and income brackets.'

'The buildings inside The Lost City will most accurately reconstruct the elevations used in the construction of houses, reflecting the splendour of old style of architecture. To ensure this accuracy, Nakheel has sent its engineers to several archaeological sites in the regions that were part of this old world, to study the styles, street plans, layouts and materials used in construction of those ancient villages and houses,' added Bin Sulayem.

The first class mixed residential and retail development will house two to four bedroom villas, townhouses and apartments, whose construction is inspired by the old styles of architectural traditions that date back a millennia, from regions such as the Fertile Crescent to places as far as the Orient and Mediterranean Africa.

The two, three and four bedroom villas, townhouses and apartments in The Lost City are constructed and organised over five distinct village areas. Each of the five village areas, The Lost City Hotel Village, The Souq Village, The Gateways Village, The Gardens Village and The Hilltop village, will retain a distinct sense of identity.

Investors can choose between a variety of elevations for their villas and townhouses, from ancient Jordanian to the old Egyptian theme or from predominant construction styles that was used in ancient Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine which are considered part of the Fertile Crescent, in addition to old themed elevations from the Arabian Peninsula and lands as far away as Morocco and Mongolia.

'The old Islamic style of architecture has produced some of the gems of ancient buildings from the Alhambra in Spain to the poetic Taj Mahal in India. The amenities of The Lost City, with deluxe construction and well appointed décor in style, will have the old authentic taste deeply embedded in the psyche of old architectural traditions and are highlighted in the souqs and residential areas. The Lost City is Nakheel's tribute to this glorious tradition, whose rich vocabulary has created those magnificent symbols of permanence, stability and tradition,' he added.

The properties inside The Lost City are true to that of the old style and have fresh water streams flowing near one's home, as was the case in the ancient days. However, The Lost City also caters to the modern needs and requirements of its tenants, including schools, kindergartens, swimming pools, themed streets and walkways, cycling and jogging trails and an 18-hole championship class golf course designed by the eminent Australian golfer and course designer, Greg Norman.

The new development will be located in a 560-hectare area in Jebel Ali, at the intersection of the Military Road and Emirates Road, lying adjacent to Nakheel's other signature developments, The Gardens Shopping Mall and Discovery Gardens.

'The Lost City is an extension of the series of innovative projects that Nakheel has developed offering customers a unique investment opportunity and quality living experience,' concluded Bin Sulayem.

shaheen - i don't think so. lost city is a themed residential and retail develoment, so i'd say it perfectly harmonizes with dubai land and the gardens mall

Lost City to have 2300 units in phase one


Nakheel's "Lost City” will have 2300 units for its first phase and construction for the new project will begin in first half of 2005, said Wahid Attalla, Executive Director, Commercial and Operations, Nakheel. The new development will be located in a 560-hectare area in Jebel Ali, at the intersection of the Military Road and Emirates Road, lying adjacent to Nakheel's other developments, The Gardens Shopping Mall and Discovery Gardens. The sale of Lost City units commenced on Monday in Dubai.

Nakheel commands a share of over US$15 billion in new projects, out of the US$30 billion that is currently being developed in Dubai. Nakheel has been the pioneer of envisioning large-scale projects in the Middle East. Our signature projects, The Palm Jebel Ali, The Palm Jumeirah and The World are marvels and represent the ultimate in modern engineering, along with a portfolio of other exclusive developments that reshaped the property development map of the region.

The Palm project once completed will house more than 10,000 residents in 5000 waterfront dwellings, consisting of an eclectic mix of villas, garden homes, town houses and water homes. The Palm Jebel Ali and The Palm Jumeirah will have around 100 luxury hotels, with over 36,000 rooms, theme parks, restaurants, retail outlets, sporting facilities, spas and cinemas. Three years of planning had gone into executing the project.

They are too expensive, 1.6 million for 2 bedroom villa.

If someone is ready to have a contract with me for 99 years I will be build for him a very nice two floor villa with 4 bedroom, two big setting rooms, swimming pool, beautiful garden, prime location, 10,000 sq. ft.

have to wait how the buildings will look like. and what the development will offer for residents. it's not only the villa you pay for

wow, this is impressive!



75pc of The Lost City sold in three days


Dubai : Nakheel has announced that 75 per cent of its latest development, The Lost City, was sold in three days.

The new project, which recreates a series of old lost cities complete with the old style of architecture from all over the Arab world and beyond, has generated overwhelming response from UAE nationals, and of the other countries in the GCC.

Chairman Sultan Ahmad Bin Sulayem said: "By presenting the investors a chance to own a part of history through old style buildings with different themed elevations that go back hundreds of years, The Lost City has once again demonstrated the success of Nakheel in offering unique and exclusive living options.

"The investors took to their heart, the idea of owning properties that are exact replicas of lost and forgotten cities and the swift sale of properties in this unique development is a measure of the trust the investors have placed in us for the quality and the value proposition that are ingrained in our projects, which always meets and sometimes exceed the investor needs and expectations."

The Lost City which is being laid out in a 560-hectare area in Jebel Ali, at the intersection of the Military Road and Emirates Road, is organised under five distinct areas such as The Lost City Hotel Village, The Souk Village, The Gateways Village, The Gardens Village and The Hilltop village.

"Our team of engineers, architecture consultants, historians and scholars of eminent standing have visited most of the important architectural finds from the Orient to the occident, to study the architectural styles of the people who populated these regions hundreds of years ago.

"The ground-based research and analysis of countless pieces of artefacts and vast volumes of travelogues and historical documents have revealed a canvas of the rich style of architecture, which Nakh-eel is recreating brick by brick here in Dubai," said Bin Sulayem.

Not again this is not possible
I want to know who is buying these please tell me !`

also wonder, because there are no renders, just these crappy ones. maybe only property dealers bought these, but no private persons like you and me

yes but these dealer will plan to resell them of course
just asking hows that going ?

yes of course
but don't know if they already offer these, have to look in the newspapers

Nope none being offered yet, you'll probs have to wait a few months maybe or when Lost City is already before you start seeing any LC properties being resold

wow!!!!

lost city is supposed to have an underground hotel


Hotel lost 30m underground

The Lost City is likely to have a hotel that is to be built some 30 m below the sands of Dubai. It is proposed to be called The Cavern. Those, who have seen the designs of the proposed underground hotel, say that these are very impressive.

The hotel will have anywhere between 200 and 300 rooms, according to the plans. From the entrance, staff and guests will travel by elevators and escalators down to the main area of the hotel. There will though be parts of the hotel that will be located above the ground.

The project forms part of The Lost City that is being built by Nakheel in an area beyond the Jebel Ali Village. The developer is expected to announce details of the project shortly.

Ancient lost cities revealed by Nakheel at Jebel Ali site

http://www.itp.net/pictures/news/Lost-City-Big.jpg

Nakheel decided to build a freehold community development around replicas of legendary lost cities in the sands of Jebel Ali. And apparently, hunger for new property is so great that within three days local, regional and international investors had snapped up 75% of the new 560-hectare development in Dubai.

The Lost City recreates a series of old lost cities from different parts of the ancient world. The buildings will be accurately reconstructed, reflecting the splendour of old style of architecture.

“To ensure this accuracy, Nakheel has sent its engineers to several archaeological sites in the regions that were part of the old world, to study the styles, street plans, layouts and materials used in construction of those ancient villages and houses,” said Sultan Ahmad bin Sulayem, Nakheel chairman.

“Nakheel, with the Lost City project, is offering investors an opportunity to own a piece of history in Dubai. The Lost City in the form of villas, town houses and apartments, complete with old elevations from the different regions it inspires, recreates legendary old lost cities of the ancient world to suit a wide variety of customer tastes, needs, preferences and income brackets,” he added.

The mixed residential and retail development will house two- to four-bedroom villas, townhouses and apartments, whose construction is inspired by the old styles of architectural traditions that date back a millennia, from regions such as the Fertile Crescent to places as far as the Orient and Mediterranean Africa.

The residential units are constructed and organised over five distinct village areas — The Lost City Hotel Village, The Souq Village, The Gateways Village, The Gardens Village and The Hilltop village.

There will be a variety of elevations for villas and townhouses, from ancient Jordanian to the old Egyptian theme or from predominant construction styles used in ancient Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine, which are considered part of the Fertile Crescent. Additionally, there will be old themed elevations from the Arabian Peninsula and lands as far away as Morocco and Mongolia. “The old Islamic style of architecture has produced some of the gems of ancient buildings from the Alhambra in Spain to the poetic Taj Mahal in India,” bin Sulayem added.

The properties will be true to the old style with fresh water streams flowing near homes, as was the case in the ancient days. However, The Lost City also caters to the modern needs and requirements of its tenants, including schools, kindergartens, swimming pools, themed streets and walkways, cycling and jogging trails and an 18-hole championship class golf course designed by the eminent Australian golfer and course designer, Greg Norman.

The Lost City, project comes hot on the heels of the 7000 homes Jumeirah Village, Nakheel had announced earlier.

heaps of great features in project
there wil be so much to explore if you live in dubai in like 5-10 years
no more where the only choice for going some where on the weekend is just city center

a lot of these houses sell quickly for business and investment purposes. A lot are actually empty, they are either rented out (more profit over the long term) or sold instantaneously for immediate extra profit.

i just wonder what the hilltop village will be. one part of this development on an artificial hill?

crazy project
underground hotel, hilltop village
again lots of water, gardens

themed streets, golf course, schools, cycling trails

i love this project more and more every day :)

cycling trail sounds great
some thing dubai lacks very much
still this one cant compete with internatinal city as my fav but its close

wouldn't say that until some renders or models will be released
have to check the nakheel sales center once more

the golf course name and plans have been released today
the course will be called "the inspiration"

this project will be located right behind the gardens and ibn battuta shopping mall and next to discovery gardens

I think the architects are Creative Kingdom - who did the Madinat Jumeirah. They dont do realistic renderings unfortunately. Or maybe they will come up with a concrete plan whenever they start to sell space.

General Manager appointed for Lost City

Nakheel, the UAE's leading property developer, has appointed Mohammed Rashed bin Dhabeah as General Manager Lost City and Jebel Ali Village.

http://www.ameinfo.com/images/news/5/16655-lostcity.jpg
Mohammed Rashed bin Dhabeah.

Mohammed will have complete responsibility for the Lost City development and Jebel Ali Village, reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer. Launched in September 2004, the Lost City is a residential development inspired by great civilizations dating back millennia: from the Fertile Crescent to the Orient, Mediterranean Africa to the Arabian Peninsula. The new development will be located in a 560 hectare area in Jebel Ali, at the intersection of the Ibn Battuta Interchange Road and Emirates Road, lying adjacent to Nakheel's other signature developments, Ibn Battuta Shopping Mall and Discovery Gardens.

Born in Dubai, Mohammed holds a Batchelor of Science in Architecture and Engineering from UAE University. He has worked at Nakheel for three years, being an architect and project co-ordinator at the Jumeirah Islands development. He has also been a key player in Business Development at Nakheel, focusing on concept development for projects such as Dubai Waterfront, Jumeirah Golf Estates, Jumeirah Village, and other Nakheel projects.

Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman Nakheel said, "Mohammed Rashed is an excellent appointment as General Manager Lost City and Jebel Ali Village. His strong architectural and engineering background, as well as the key role he has played in the concept development of a variety of Nakheel projects, means that he has all the vital skills and experience necessary for the successful management of The Lost City and Jebel Ali Village."

Mohammed commented, "The role of General Manager Lost City and Jebel Ali Village is another challenging one for me, and I am very proud to be working for Nakheel - contributing to Nakheel's work in building the vision of Dubai. The rate of the city's development has been extraordinary, and The Lost City will be a key part of ensuring that the residential sector keeps pace with this growth, and meets the demands of the market for quality property. The development will also be unique within Dubai: The Lost City will be an attractive residential district inspired by the architecture of ancient civilizations. Such ancient inspiration will be in contrast to the developments state-of-the-art facilities, including a world class 18 hole golf course designed by 'the Great White Shark' himself Greg Norman."

In reference to Jebel Ali Village, Mohammed added that "Jebel Ali Village is a new project which Nakheel will be announcing the details of in the future; of course, as with all Nakheel projects, the development will be driven by a commitment to quality, innovation and attention to detail."

This appointment is part of a number of announcements that will be made over the coming weeks as Nakheel restructures its senior management team in order to enhance customer focus and delivery, and to prepare for the next stage of growth and profitability. Each Nakheel project will now act as an autonomous strategic business unit complete with its own management, budget and team.

maybe he is gone through some surergical operation to look younger :dunno:

thats his childhood picture .... he is an architect so that means atleast 23 and 3 years experience so 26 .... he took care of jumeirah islands so they know hwat tthey are doing

he graduated from uae university
i think you graduate when you're 18 or 19
then 3 years at nakheel
he then is about 21 or 22
don't know if he has done anything before he joined nakheel

to me it looks like he is 14
and look at the mouth, it could be a woman's mouth!

childhood pic is possible but if nakheel doesn't even manage to get a proper photo for the press release....

this guy is in the early 20s

not sure if such a young guy can handle such a project

We attend UAE university at the age of 17 minimum. It take 5 years for Engineering so he would graduate at the age of 22 minimum. Working 2 to 3 years than he is 25 minimum.

Are u sure that this is the real pictures? :rofl:

I guess I need to work for them imagine my salary 30 to 40k minimum at aged 25 :eek2:

Well maybe he is a genius and started university at an age of 15 and then studied the first and second year in only one year and then finished the 3ed 4th and 5th year in only one year. :cheers: :cheers:

Mm seems every one here is getting jealous.

By the way there is a guy in my university that had studied mathematic and physics at the same time and he managed to be one of the first students.

Actually I now appreciate Nakheel for giving UAE nationals the chance but I can still insure that he is no younger than 25 yo.

how much is ur salary smussuw

not 30k :rofl:
