Turia at The Views

The first residents of Emaar’s latest stylish apartment community to hit the Dubai property market moved into Turia at The Views recently. With riverside views and a prime location within Dubai’s new growth corridor on Sheikh Zayed Road, this urban living option has added a new dimension to Dubai’s booming real estate market and is a first choice among young professionals.

Named after the Turia River which runs through Valencia, Spain, to the Mediterranean Sea, Turia at The Views is inspired by the exuberant outdoor lifestyle offered by one of Spain’s most beautiful cities.“Situated close to the waters edge, Turia at The Views offers a much sought after urban lifestyle combining world class facilities, premier location and stunning views. Each Turia resident is guaranteed a spectacular view from their apartment, which makes the sophisticated apartments truly unique,” said Ahmad Al Matrooshi, UAE Managing Director, Emaar Properties.

Emaar launches Water Side Duplexes and Golf Side Villas
Dubai, UAE, June 21, 2006: Building on its golf-centric community living initiative, global real estate major Emaar Properties today launched a new series of unique duplexes and villas at The Views, an exclusive project overlooking the Emirates Golf Club and in close proximity to The Montgomerie, Dubai golf course as well as Emaar’s popular The Greens.

The low-rise, luxury villas and duplexes at Golf Towers, situated on the perimeter of the internationally renowned golf course, offer potential buyers two options: water view or golf side living with one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments. Some of the limited number golf side villas have a separate entrance to give residents exclusive access.

Set amidst the hugely popular Golf Towers I and II launched at The Views last year, the new low-rise villas and duplexes will feature modern architectural elements to uphold a distinct identity. A pioneering project by Emaar that combines all the conveniences of community living with golf as an added leisure element, The Views will complete the duplexes on a fast-track basis for a June 2007 handover.

“Emaar has always focused on integrating new lifestyle and leisure components into its various projects,” said Bahiya Kayed, Assistant Director of Sales, Emaar Properties. “With the overwhelming success of our Golf Towers, we were looking to offer an added-value proposition to home buyers. By offering two choices – water view or golf side living, the new villas and duplexes will also enhance the quality of living.”

Offering easy access to the hubs of Dubai’s Knowledge Economy – the Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City and Knowledge Village – The Views is next to The Greens, a thriving community living development. “Individual or institutional investors can thus benefit from the advantages of being part of a flourishing Emaar community as well as enjoying easy accessibility to two championship 18- hole golf courses and the city’s growth centers.”

Potential buyers can visit the Emaar Sales Centre, Building 1 at Emaar Business Park on Sheikh Zayed Road on June 22 where a team of dedicated sales staff will be on hand for assistance.

Emaar Properties has an impeccable track record of handing over more than 13,000 homes to satisfied clients in Dubai.

wow! it surprisingly looks very nice..better than the greens ;)

looks like kinda JLT :D

rather interesting.
i spoke to some people who told me this would be a good investment since it is close to Media/IC but not in such a massive development like DM and JLT.

The render looks really nice. I don't think that the tall "arabic looking" tower at the end of the "lake" has been announced, does anyone have any info on it, or has it already been announced?

another ad from the papaers...different angle this time from the other end"

http://i2.tinypic.com/20fyotw.gif

dont u just love the way emaar left out the 300 plus towers at the marina and JLT...

R

well the render is not ... deceiving though, i mean, those 300 towers won't affect views from The Views ;)

So where is this exactly?

Looks dirty.

Thats a lake?!?! Why on earth do they think that making a small puddle in the backyard is a selling point? This is the exact same thing they did with Jumeirah Islands!!!

i think it is awesome, i mean if the water isn't stagnat but clean (there is still construction going on here) then a walk in this park is great. better than another row of towers in front of you.

i thot it looked quite good...but construction of golf towers is still going on. maybe they'll clean it when construction has finished and has stopped dirtying everything aroundit?

latest from Brian McMorrow - Jan 2, 2007 - at least two towers shud be completed and handed over by summer?

Emaar launches Mosela Waterside Residences at The Views on February 10

Emaar Properties offers buyers the opportunity to choose from 24 different floor plans at the Mosela tower within The Views residential development.

http://www.ameinfo.com/images/news/4/35434-art.jpg
A rendering of the Mosela residence at The Views.

Amlak Finance is offering up to 96 per cent home finance support for owning a home in the 24-storey building that features a mix of studios, and one-, two- and three-bedrooms. Sales will commence on February 10.

Mosela blends Mediterranean architectural elements that are characteristic of mid-rise towers with the height advantage offered by high-rises, thus creating a unique residential address in the heart of New Dubai. Located close to Emaar Business Park, in close proximity to the Dubai Internet City and Dubai Media City, Mosela Waterside Residences offer picturesque views of the neighbouring Emirates Golf Club and pleasing vistas of canals.

'The Views is a preferred residential choice for its convenient location and the superb views it guarantees,' said Ms Bahiya Kayed, Assistant Director of Sales, Emaar Properties. 'Mosela builds on these advantages further by the being the first tower within The Views to offer golf course and waterside views. It also offers customers a varied choice of floor plans that will help them own their dream home.'

Investor response to all launches and sales initiatives at The Views has been overwhelming. 'The Views enjoys tremendous brand equity, which appeals to both potential home owners and investors,' said Ms Kayed. 'As a residential project from Emaar, it also enjoys the singular advantage of having a 10-year warranty.'

Mosela Waterside Residences will have modern finishes and convenient amenities that will enhance their appeal to individuals and institutional buyers looking for short-term and long-term investment in Dubai. 'Residents of The Views can also enjoy facilities such as an expanded retail centre, coffee shops, restaurants, a mosque, hotels and schools,' said Ms Kayed. 'The central location near Emaar's other neighbourhoods such as The Greens and The Springs makes The Views an ideal buy.'

The Views comprises Water Side and Golf Side towers, offering picture-perfect views from all apartments. The Water Side towers include Arno, Travo, Turia and Una, and Golf Side Towers include The Fairways, Golf Towers and The Links. Many of the units have been handed over; construction is ongoing according to schedule on the other towers.

Emaar is the only developer to offer a 10-year warranty on its projects.

what the heck is a 10-year warranty?

no fee for fixing broken or damaged property for 10 years after handover?

Emaar unveils Tanaro waterside residences

Emaar Properties has unveiled the Tanaro residential tower within The Views, a residential neighbourhood located adjacent to Emaar Business Park in the heart of New Dubai.

Dubai Islamic Bank, Amlak and RAKBANK are offering easy home finance options for studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments in the 24-storey tower that has been named after a river in Italy to highlight the unique waterside views offered by the project. Sales will commence on March 24.

Tanaro is surrounded on two sides by canals with a third side opening to the rolling greens of the Emirates Golf Course. The tower incorporates Mediterranean architectural elements in its design and construction, and will serve as an exclusive residential address for the discerning buyers who seek attractive views and a central location for their homes. The units at Tanaro range from 445 to 1,610 sq ft in size.

'The launch of Tanaro follows overwhelming investor response to the Mosela tower unveiled recently,' said Hussein A. Belshalat, Senior Sales Manager, Emaar Properties. 'The location of The Views in the heart of Dubai's new growth corridor is one reason for the strong demand for homes within the project.'

Situated adjacent to The Greens and in close proximity to the Emirates Living community of Emaar, The Views opens to pleasing green landscapes of the adjacent Emirates Golf Course. Potential home-owners have a preference for the established neighbourhood living experience offered by The Views, which reflects on the consistent demand for all residences within the development.

Belshalat added: 'Apart from the easy access to Dubai's growth centres such as Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City, Jebel Ali Free Zone and the Dubai International Financial Centre, The Views offers residents an array of facilities. These include an extended retail centre, mosques, coffee shops and restaurants, all within the neighbourhood.'

The name Tanaro is inspired by the 276-km long river in north-western Italy that rises in the Alps. 'Though an integral part of The Views community, Tanaro has a distinct identity which comes from its water-side location,' said Belshalat.

The Views comprises Water Side and Golf Side towers, offering picture-perfect views from the apartments. The Water Side towers include Arno, Travo, Turia and Una, and Golf Side Towers include The Fairways, Golf Towers and The Links. Many of the units have been handed over; construction is ongoing on the other towers.

http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/2792/viewei1.jpg

this is probably one of the best places to live right now other than dubai marina..

what the heck is a 10-year warranty?

Most likely that they will take 10 years to do all snagging. :)

No seriously. 10 years is what is normal in other parts of the world. If there are defects to common areas or structural parts of the building, the developer is responsable. It will help to minimize the 'Marina Diamond effect' where they say it is completed whilst there are main problems unsolved.

There is currently a discussion to hold all developers responsable for a period of 10 years but it is not yet put in a law so Emaar uses this as a marketing tool right now, knowing that they will have to honor the 10 year clause anyway when the law comes into effect.

Travo is completed and handed over on 15th July.
The material is great. good job by Emaar.

Hi all,

If you look at the masterplan of the Fairways, you can see "Loft Units" between the towers and the lake (one unit on each side of the North tower).

Does anybody know how many floors those Loft Units are going to have? I drove by the construction site today, but I couldn't tell because it appears they've not yet started those loft units.

Prospective buyer

Hi,

I've heard a few rumours that Emaar is planning additional towers between the Golf Towers/Links/Fairways and the golf course. One of the people telling me this was a real estate agent, who admitted it is only a rumour.

Has anybody else heard these rumours, and is there any truth in them?

Guys,

After much running around here and there, I'm buying an apartment in Links east (07 unit). Don't tell me the flaws and don't tell me the price cos I am paying quite a bit it seems. Only time will tell.

Also, there isn't much space between golf towers/links/fairways if you see to build additional towers, but if EMAAR does do that, its only good because it escalates the psft price in the area due to the prices that EMAAR will come out with. I just hope it doesn't block whatever sideways view I have currently :ohno:

Guys,

Do let us know if there is any more news on the rumour about the additional towers between the views and the golf course.

I'm just hoping that either they don't build them, or when they build them, they make them expensive enough to justify a decent appreciation in the existing towers.

Hi,

I've heard a few rumours that Emaar is planning additional towers between the Golf Towers/Links/Fairways and the golf course. One of the people telling me this was a real estate agent, who admitted it is only a rumour.

Has anybody else heard these rumours, and is there any truth in them?

Almost topped out:) any new construction updates ? ;)

Gents,

Any news at all? On track for handover on 30th July? Any new projects in this area? And what's the prediciton for psft rate and 1 bed rental on delivery?

Hi, I drove by there today (I own an apartment in Fairways East), and I'm not so sure if they're going to make June 30 for handover. The curtaining (is that the right terminology?) isn't completed yet, not even on the lower floors.

I didn't have a real camera with me, just my N73 camera phone, so apologies for the bad picture quality.

Fairways East and North, plus loft apartments. If you look closely, you can see the missing windows etc., even on the lower floors (esp on the right corner of FW East):

FW North and West (and Links East). Here you can clearly see that there absolutely no windows on the right corner of the FW West:

-Regards!

Does anyone have any info on 'The Links' East and West Tower - part of 'The Views' Emaar development? It'll be greatly appreciated!

Regards

What the hell is any info??

You're on the page for info... there are EMAAR websites... there is ads on better homes website and all over the place....

What is "any info"???

I have some - links east has 34 floors....

Does anyone have any info on 'The Links' East and West Tower - part of 'The Views' Emaar development? It'll be greatly appreciated!

Regards

Sorry should've been more specific - any current internal/external photographs of The Links. They appear to have been overlooked within The Views thread.

Regards

Does anyone have any information on when completion/handover is likely to be. My contract has 30 June 2008. Would be grateful if anyone has any upto date info. Thanks

I have an apartment in the Links West Tower its is a 2 bed plus study apartment on 22nd floor directly facing the Emirates golf course (Superb Views). The apartment has a stunning view of the marina skyline and you also get awesome views of Palm Jumeirah from the balcony as well.

Links is being handed over on time end of June 2008 and 95% of the work has already been completed.

I have got some pictures of the interior and views from the apartment. Great Quality and Excellent finishing. I think one of the best in Emaars projects. I am already getting offers of Dhs. 2.85 million, but i think this will go over 3 million in the next 6 months easily.

This is a great great community for families to live in. The locations is excellent with Malls, beach, hotels, parks everything around you.

I too have a 2-bed in the West Tower, 6 floors below yours but facing the other side! Would it be possible for you to share your pics please - especially of the interior?

Emaar mentioned in a Dec 2007 email that The Links was on schedule for handover by 30 June 2008, but would email me by the end of April as to the exact handover date.

Looking forward to picking up the keys in early July ia. I reinforce everything you say about the great location and the family-orientated environment.

http://www.marvelhomesdubai.com/Projects~Id~53.asp

Visit this link for some great pictures of the Links Tower. Stunning Views and very good quality.

I also have the 03 apartment in the Fairways, this is a stuuning apartment fully glassed in the living room and bedrooms therfore the apartment has maximum views of the Golf Course both from the Living room and bedrooms. The apartment also views the swimming pool and recreational area.
I checked with Emaar and they claim this unit to have the best views in the Views Community.

I liked this unit so much that i bought it from the resale market last year for Dhs. 1.8 million, the prices have appreciated a lot since then for this area.

I am looking to sell this now for Dhs. 2,650,000 Nett.

Although Emaar has not yet send an official notification on the handover date of Fairways. The original completion date of June 2008 seems unlikely. By the look of things the project should only be delayed by two months and handover should be done maximum by August/September 2008.

The building structures are completely ready, glasses are being installed and the interiors of apartments are being completed. Some of the apartments have already been completed. One of my contractor friends happened to visit the apartment and they say that the views from Fairways are stunning and the quality is A Grade. Emaar seems to be getting better and better the more projects it is delivering. Definitely the No1 developer in Dubai and surely the prices for Emaar's properties appreciate the greatest compared to any of the other developers.

:cheers:WOW! Amazing shots, the view over the golf course is simply amazing with all that greenery!

cool pixx thnx for sharing ;)

Amazing pics 'dubaihomeowner' big thanks!

The finishes within look immaculate - especially the kitchen and the high spec flooring. From the photos I guess they're looking good for a 30th June 2008 handover ia. The views of the luscious spacious golf course are extremely refreshing to see the compared to the tight towering skyscraper skyline that we're accustomed to seeing in Dubai. tyhats why they're called 'The Views'!

Btw as an owner of The Views development do you get any privileges to access the golf course turf and are there swimming/gym facilities within the West Tower?

No there are no privileges in terms of accessing the golf course, but you can console yourself with the fact that you're in the neighbourhood of the No.1 golf course in the gulf region which is home to the Dubai Desert Classic. During the tournament its going to be awesome to be able to view all the action from your balcony.

Right in front of the towers they're building G+1 luxury villas on the golf course, these are going to be prime prime properties something along the lines of the villas they have at the Dubai Creek Golf Club. Once these villas get completed its going to further increase the rates in this area.

The best thing about views is that you have hell of a lot space to breathe unlike the Marina or Downtown Burj Dubai where you have towers battling to fall on you, th worst thing the towers in these areas keep on increasing in numbers.

In the views emaar has very limited Land, so furhter projects are not possible whatsoever. Therefore it is always going to be a very prime locality to live in considering exclusivity of the place along with the superb location which gives access to tonnes of recreational and entertainment facillities within 10-15 minutes driving distance.

Beautiful/Awesome!!!

Have to say I feel very envious. The aptly named Views towers will have among the best views in the city with the full golf course in front and the massive tower skylines in the distance, Dubai Marina, JLT and eventually the Nakheel tall tower. These views are sure to last--at least a couple decades I would guess.

One comment/request. As nice as the photos you've taken are, why don't you photograph the views toward the tower skyline in the early morning when the sun will be at the best angle to highlight this view? As it is in your photos the evening sun obscures the best of this view.

wonderful pictures ..

Realistically, when is handover for "The Links" and "The Fairways" expected? Thanks.

Links is on time for completion handover date is June 30th 2008.

Fairways handover was also 30th June 2008 but there is a 2 months delay on this project it should be handed over by 30th August 2008

^^ Thanks for the info.
Which project is better Links or Fairways.
Any difference b/w the two?

so does this mean the snagging will happen some time in the month of june itself before handover?

I have this apartment in links east facing AWAY from sheikh zayed road... hoping for mosela and tanaro to come up soon to block the vast desert view right in front... the golf course on the right and lake on the left make up quite a bit though!

Links is on time for completion handover date is June 30th 2008.

Fairways handover was also 30th June 2008 but there is a 2 months delay on this project it should be handed over by 30th August 2008

I received the handover letter for the Links. The handover date is 1st July 2008. Home Orientation is going to start from 1st week of May 2008.

Great to hear the Links is being handed over on time. Does anyone know when the 'Fairways' is likely to be handed over? (on my contract it has 30 June 2008)

I got the handover letter too.... links east.... but mine has a date of 30th July 2008.... anyway, fair enough I guess....

BTW - aren't you selling cheap ;)

@ dubaihomeowner, check your PM.

I'll be coming over for the handover of the Links West Tower. Any advice on when I should visit & duration of visit to cover both the Home Orientation (snagging) and the actual handover on 1st July 2008 in one visit?
Is there a deadline for the Home Orientation and would I be able to pick up the keys anytime beyond 1st July, say mid to end of July?

whats the price of a single bed room apartment at links?

It could take 2-4 weeks to a fix the snaggs in your apartment.

Is there a deadline for the Home Orientation

Yes there is.

and would I be able to pick up the keys anytime beyond 1st July, say mid to end of July?

They will give you 2 weeks or so to clear your dues and pick your keys.

I guess the reason Emaar's Views / Greens is highly sought after is, that it affords the best of both worlds... Tower living with a community feel.

You cant seem to be able to get this with any of the existing projects in Dubai.

Pics taken: 22nd May 2008.

This is the walkway in front of Emaar's Views.

Although the water needs to be cleaned ( i guess this will happen when the construction around is finally done) you can now find lots of fish swimming around.

Nice place to walk/jog or just chill out. The Greens community village is at the other end.

WOW great pictures realvisionhomes.com! Are there really fish in this lake? I never thought it was that clean, great!

yes actually there are. Loads of small ones.
I agree that the pond/lake should be cleaned soon though for them to survive

Just been told by Emaar that the handover for the west tower is now 30 November 2008 (original contract date was 30 June 2008).

Has anyone else been told this?

Thnx

Are you talking about LINKS west?? I got my letter for Links east saying July 30th.

This is Fairways (West Tower) next to the Links. The fairways had an original date of 30 June 2008 but has been delayed to 30 Nov 2008.

SAS_UK:

This is confirmed; we received our update today and our unit (Fairways West Tower) has been rescheduled for handover 30 Nov 2008.

Is LINKS on time with completion/handover date set for June 30th 2008.

Did the snagging (Home Orientation) for The Links West Tower this morning - absolutely no visible defects, still on schedule for 1st July 2008 handover.

Can anyone recommend any good reputable agents I could rent my apartment through?

Dude!!!

Can you believe I didn't take my USB lead ARRRGGHHHH! Back home late next week - will upload then! Fly back out to Dubai at the end of June!

By the way found several agents but the best out of an ordinary bunch appear to be: www.takticalrealty.com understandably can't help until they gain access to the apartment in July. Has anyone any experience of them?

Dubai Waterfront Properties seem OK. But they won't bust a gut for you. I have my Fairways rented out with them.^^

Apologies for the size of the pics

^^ why apologize for amazing pics!!!

Here's a shock: I have just been informed that my service fees for The Links West Tower will be 20.66 Dhs/sqft The size of the apartment is 1418 (excl. balcony). That comes to 29295.88 Dhs/annum from 8 July 2008! However if you want to pick up the keys before this date you gotta pay accordingly!

There goes my spending money!

Anyone have a studio apartment in the Views they would like to rent? I need something immediately. Let me know tkomon@gmail.com

Hi there,

Has anyone heard anything from Emaar concerning the completion date for the Fairways project?

The latest announcement was 30th November, but guess they will postpone further, just haven't heard anything...

Also, has anyone any idea about completion-to-handover time, I know this is an impossible questions, but what I mean is; with other private developers this period seems to be about 6-12 months, I just don't have any experience with Emaar, being government owner, maybe they get permits faster from the authorities?

Thanks!

Antti: From my experience Emaar are an extremely professional developer. My Links apartment was due on 30 June 2008. Snagging took place mid-May 2008, and they rectified all possible defects by 30 June 2008. I flew into Dubai on 30 June, paid the service fees on 1 July 2008 and picked up the keys by 2 July 2008! It also helps that their head office is walking distance from the Fairways.
Good luck and congratulations on your apartment!

Just been informed by Emaar that the handover of fairways has been delayed further to 1st March 2009 (The original handover was 30 June 2008). Emaar will be posting letters out soon to inform buyers.

The Fairways pool looks stunning. Greenery, space, towers in the distance view.....is there a pool in Dubai with a better view? i doubt it?

Great Pics!

forgot one image of the sundeck, here it is.

Yesterday, I visited the Fairways and spoke with a fellow owner. He has been told by the Site Manager that the team must finish the project by the end of December. It appears that, as of yesterday, they have cleaned all of the flats from the top down to the 3rd floor. The windows are being cleaned and the pool is operational. Funriture is being delivered to the common areas. With all of this activity coming to an end in December, I don't know why we should have to wait a further 2 months before the handover date. Could it be that Emaar's letter of 26 Oct was simply setting expectations on a "worst case" basis and that we will actually get possession earlier than 1 March? Given that the project is delayed from the orignal date of June 30, I am sure every one is in the same boat as me -- every month of delay represents a further financial loss to individual owners. With this in mind, perhaps Emaar should be more accommodating and release the project in January instead of March. This can only happen if everyone contacts Emaar to push for an earlier release date. They were closed today, but I will be contacting them tomorrow.

Please sir.........can we have some more..........."you know it makes sense bruv"!!!

I visited The Fairways 2 days ago and spoke to a worker there. He said that only the cleaners are still in the buildings. They are still finishing up on landscaping around the buildings though (planting greenery, etc.). Also called Emaar and asked about the snaggings. There are no dates set yet for the snagging of the apartments, but they said that the snaggings would begin mid-January. They will notify owners with letters. If you have other information, please share.

Emaar have now sent letter confirming the handover of The Fairways. 1st March is the handover date.

Congratulations! At least you finally know exactly when it is. Snagging in process or in Feb? D'you know what the maintenance fees will be?

Antti, those pics you posted back in November of the Fairways: which tower is that?

I'm asking because I'm very surprised by the color of the finishings in the kitchen, especially the cabinet doors etc. Not at all what I expected, considering the dark-brown that Emaar is using everywhere else. (fairways east owner...)

Links East also has the same 'beech' coloured kitchen, Links West the more common dark-brown finish. Personally, I prefer the 'beech' finish.:|

surprised by that - if I remember correctly we had a chioce of finishes in terms of colour of units etc. We have an apartment in Fairways West and asked for dark wood (which I think looks better !!):banana:

Hi, is that information in your contract somewhere? I bought in secondary market, so obviously did not have that choice. But the first owner must have had it, so it should be documented somewhere.

The choice of units is in the contract.

For your information Emaar have informed me that the service charges are likely to be 17.88 Dhs per sq ft (excluding balcony area).

Ha, that (service costs) is very good news. In fact it's quite a bit lower than I feared. I've mailed Emaar myself about this, but they haven't replied to me (yet?).

Has anyone been contacted yet by Emaar for their "home orientation"?

They were supposed to start calling mid Jan to arrange viewing dates/times and we have yet to hear anything.

Dear all, if you are an owner/investor in Emaar's Fairways towers in the views then please send me your e-mail. I have done my orientation yesterday and would like to share with you a few issues with regards to the project. Just send me your e-mail on this thread and i will get in touch with you. Just let me know your unit details - east,west, north etcc

It would be great if we can have as many owners/investors as possible

Regards

Hi dwell, i'm interested in hearing what these issues are, but would appreciate you sharing them with us on this forum.
look forward to hearing from you.

Hey SAS,
In short, i was truly disappointed (in fact frustrated) from the quality - whether interiors or common areas. This is the reason i wanted to get in touch with as much owners/investors as possible in order to:
1-share with you the problems in details along with pics – I prefer not to spread negative news about the project we invested in. Especially that I’m hoping that Emaar should be able to fix it
2- Understand your views and feedback on the project - perhaps other owners are happy after the orientation and i'm just a bit picky
3- Send Emaar (as a group) a serious note to express our disappointment. I think they can rectify the situation, but we just need to clearly show them that this unacceptable

I'm sure if we are talk to them as a group (maybe 10 owners or more) then we can force them to take action

dwell,

Dear all, if you are an owner/investor in Emaar's Fairways towers in the views then please send me your e-mail. I have done my orientation yesterday and would like to share with you a few issues with regards to the project. Just send me your e-mail on this thread and i will get in touch with you. Just let me know your unit details - east,west, north etcc

It would be great if we can have as many owners/investors as possible

Hey SAS,
In short, i was truly disappointed (in fact frustrated) from the quality - whether interiors or common areas. This is the reason i wanted to get in touch with as much owners/investors as possible in order to:
1-share with you the problems in details along with pics – I prefer not to spread negative news about the project we invested in. Especially that I’m hoping that Emaar should be able to fix it
2- Understand your views and feedback on the project - perhaps other owners are happy after the orientation and i'm just a bit picky
3- Send Emaar (as a group) a serious note to express our disappointment. I think they can rectify the situation, but we just need to clearly show them that this unacceptable
I'm sure if we are talk to them as a group (maybe 10 owners or more) then we can force them to take action

I am still waiting for my "orientation" and as of today they have yet to contact me.

I am disappointed to hear your impressions and, while I do understand what you are saying, I think it would be more beneficial to let those with future "orientations" upcoming know the possible deficiencies to look out for. Then, once a number of us have done the orientation, we could compare notes and come up with a common front on what to do about it.


Irrespective, if you feel uncomfortable doing so I would appreciate your observations. I will send you a p.m. with my email address and any info you could provide would be great.

Cheers

Dune

Hi Dwell,

I am also a concerned owner...I havent seen the flat yet (just pictures posted on this forum) and I am surprised about your comments as I really didnt expect Emaar to underperform in quality. Could you please let me know what other issues you have faced so that I can check them out during my orientation?

Many thanks

mn2gs, Dune, SAS,
Just send me ur e-mails guys or at least send me an e-mail on ghonemi@hotmail.com. I will send you full details with pics. It's very good that we have 4 owners now and i hope if we can get more. This way they will listen and we can put some pressue. What we will ask for is only our right at the end of the day....We just need to move fast guys cuz handover is in 3 to 4 weeks....

To all the new home owners in the Views.

Be careful when ordering the deep cleaning for your new apartment. They are using an aggressive acid that corrodes the stainless steel of the kitchen appliances.

Watch out especially for the fridge and ventilation hood. The blue protection foil was typically punctured and has some tiny holes.

It is better to be on site when deep cleaning occurs and instruct the people properly. After the cleaning the stainless steel surfaces should be treated with a cleaning and protective film (e.g. WD-40).

Enjoy the new property!

I had my orientation last week and was really happy with the quality - both of my unit and of the common areas - infact its one of the nicest residential buildings ive seen in Dubai (in my opinion!) I'd be interested to hear what the other owner thinks is so awful about it...

Thanks for your helpful insight in relation to your orientation. We are due there next week for our orientation. Can you let us know which tower your apartment is ? And any other information/tips ?

E.g what was the paintwork like/did your wood have scratches/how good did the appliances&floor look ?

Your help would be much appreciated

Is there any update on this? Did Emaar do anything? Hope they helped out.

Without going into detail; Yes they did. We're happy. The apartment is great and the common areas (pool/gym) are fantastic. Each apartment owner however has to work through their case with Emaar individually to get snags corrected.

The site seems to be down for now (or forever?), but you should find floorplans at: www.theviews.ae

The floorplans there are low-res, but when you print the floorplans, the printout is high-res. If you have a PDF Writer software, you can print the floorplans to PDF and the generated document is a high resolution floorplan with dimensions, etc.

IS the site down (just for now) or forever?

which 'site' do you mean?

www.theviews.ae as posted by Antti (couldn't access even now)

I went on site to speak to the contractor as I don't trust a word Emaar says about completion. I think Tanaro and Mosella may actually be handed over fairly close to Emaars stated June date.

I live opposite of Tanaro and Mosela and have observed their work for the last year. They are working 6 days a week, regular 8h shifts. Good amount of people onsite, They are coming along nicely and from the outsite it looks fairly completed now. But they still have some work to do. For example pool is done, but they have not started testing with water yet. The landscaping also still needs to be done at the pool area, now there are just sandpits in place of landscaping. No idea what it looks like on the inside though.
Agree with GreenKiwi that they could actually be done close to the promised date.

The guy I spoke to from the contractor did say that most of the remaining work is in the landscaping,pool etc but the inside is 97% complete. However that contractor does not have the contract to complete the canal that is meant to wrap around Tanaro and is presently the site office/storage area.

Anyone can post updated photo of the site?
Any official announcement from EMAAR for the completion of project or snagging ?

Thanks

Here's a few pics taken today. Note that it's Friday, so nobody working today.
