ohhh 3 more towers , I wonder if they are all in the same cluster like armada???

or like the seef towers and tamweel tower! :D

i'm excited about how they will look like

pretty much action in jlt lately. we have about 40 towers now

Thinking who the owner is, for sure they'll be in the same cluster, but judging from what is happening with his tower in SZR, I think we might not get any info or renders at all, at least not before the fundations are compleated. :nuts:

THIS IS HOW THEY WILL LOOK.

Green Lakes residential project unveiled in city

3 February 2005

DUBAI - Green Lakes, a three-tower residential project in the Jumeirah Lake Towers development in Dubai, has been unveiled by the directors of Asam Investments & Real Estate.

The project is the first freehold real estate development from Shaikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of Emirates and President of Dubai Civil Aviation Department.

Shaikh Ahmed said: "Buying property in Dubai is one of the current hot topics around the world, whether as an investment, part of a portfolio, or as a home for years to come. Dubai is currently ranked the fourth best city in the world to live in, and the secure, prosperous environment of the city equates to a lifestyle that most dream of - and many can now afford."

Green Lakes will offer one, two and three-bedroom upscale freehold apartments for sale at the heart of the Jumeirah Lake Towers, facing the championship Emirates Golf Course and opposite Dubai Marina.

Views will be at a premium from each of the three 39-storey towers, looking towards the marina and the Arabian Gulf on one side, and the tees of the golf course and the Jumeirah Lakes to the other.

The stunning modern buildings will be set in landscaped gardens, each with a sweeping lobby and a selection of boutiques and restaurants set in a covered walkway.

The design for the towers and the public areas has been kept elegant, yet contemporary, with modern security systems and high-speed internet throughout. All apartments come with individual parking facilities, and are complete with fitted kitchens and bathrooms.

The development will have a five-star standard health club and spa, as well as rooftop and children's pools in each tower.

The Green Lakes project, to be marketed by Asam Investments & Real Estate, will be constructed by ARCH group of architects and is part of Nakheel's Jumeirah Lake Towers development.

Mortgages will be available through Tamweel Home Finance, and buyers will be eligible for residence permits.

The project is an excellent freehold investment opportunity, incorporating a luxurious and modern lifestyle which will attract people from all around the world. With developments being launched, almost on a daily basis, it can be overwhelming for investors, which is why Landmark Properties aims to simplify the process for its clients by listening carefully to their needs and creating a handpicked portfolio of properties to match their requirements.'

Landmark Properties have launched the sales of Green Lakes Towers in the United Arab Emirates, Europe and Asia.

Green Lakes Towers comprises of three high rise apartment buildings set in a spacious development that creates a distinctive ambience for the occupants. Jumeirah Lake Towers is being developed on an area of 1,144,579 square metres. A winding, man-made lake stretching to 250,000 square metres will create a unique water front environment and provide stunning views from all sides.

All of the Green Lakes Towers boast world famous panoramic views of the championship Emirates Golf Course, Dubai Marina and the Arabian Gulf. The main design features all include the concept of 'space'. The apartments offer large sumptuous living areas, up to 2,450sq ft, large ceiling to floor windows, in buildings set far apart from one another with spectacular views.

These modern buildings will be set in landscaped gardens, each with a sweeping lobby, 24hr security and a selection of boutiques and restaurants on the ground floor, set under a covered walkway.

The design for the towers and the public areas has been kept elegant, yet contemporary, with modern state of the art security systems and high-speed internet access throughout.

All apartments come with individual parking facilities, are complete with fitted kitchens and bathrooms and have energy saving devices for the modern day professional. The development will have a five-star health club, spa and gym at the top of each building, where fast paced executives can exercise whilst looking out over striking aerial views of Dubai. Temperature controlled roof top pools offer residents the opportunity to relax in the sun and soak in the Jacuzzi.

Landmark Properties announces Green Lakes Towers 52% sold

Landmark Properties, a leader in real estate solutions, has announced today that 52 per cent of Green Lakes Towers has already been sold.

It seems all the jlt will be rising at the same time. Will be great once they gain some height :cheers:

I have been suggested an apartment in these towers.

Looking at the pictures, how long do you think it will take to complete.

Since the owner is His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, chairman of Emirates and president of Dubai Civil Aviation, it is likely to be a solid company and investment. What do you guys think?

Any problems with Arch group and other companies involved?

Also which view do you suggest, front view of Marina buildings and Sh. Zayed Rd OR the rear view of the Jumeirah Lake?

Thanks.

^^ This complex will be Emirates (as in Airline) Hotel Serviced Apartments. Also all the three buildings are almost topped up with just the roof feature remaining.

Green Lakes Towers

http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/2930/imresolt025tp4.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

The spires are up on all three towers now.

I am new to the forum. My wife and i have just purchased a 1 bed in the green lakes tower 1, i was hoping someone knew something new on the current state of play for tower 1:ohno:?

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay? Per square foot I mean, not the total.
G

Not at all, i paid 1380AED per sq ft. Are you thinking of getting one yourself or selling on?

Do you have any info on the handover time?

Thanks for posting this. I've got a unit in another tower (Goldcrest Views 2) and was wondering what the market rate is now.
Thanks again and good luck with your purchase.
G

^^ A bit pricey but the good thing about green lakes is that it is right next to the proposed metro - so a good investment. Also it should complete v soon.

When you say v soon, any idea of how V SOON??:)

Looking at Junes pictures can't be far off i'd think maybe before the end of this year unless there is lots to do in terms of interior.

IMRE can maybe get a more recent picture on his travels.

I'd say 1380 AED is quite high but does depend when you bought it

:eek2:

I hope we did not pay too much, everything we looked at was at the same rate. Shame we did not buy earlier, but lets hope for big increase on handover like the Marina!!

^^ My guess would be March 2008. I dont think it will be one of the first five to be handed over but it is there in the top 10. If at all there might be just couple of towers handed over by Dec07.
So its good to be in your position - also I think the towers are owned by one of the sheiks in the ruling family of dubai - and that is apparently why the metro was put right infront of these towers - who knows there might be other privileges too:lol:

That would be great. Oh well i guess we will all have to just sit tight on this one. I drove passed it yesterday and the good thing was that all the internal lights were on! I guess testing at this stage but at least it is something. I will take some night pic's tonight and post them ASAP to update the lacking photo collection on this cluster.:banana:

lights on! did i not mention about privileges. Looks like they are twisiting DEWAs hand too.

My tower Goldcrest Views have been trying to get DEWA connection for the last 6 months with no success so far

Those who do not know, the towers owned by HH Sheikh Saeed of Emirates Airlines. This is one of the good projects in my opinion and regret not buying earlier.

Here are a few pics from the Marina walk side and a few from inside the JLT, however they have closed of the backside access road so only access from front side. All we need know are some of the inside.

woops, how do you get the pics on??

HOW DO YOU GET PICS ON??

^^ probably asking how to post pics :lol:
save the pic on the computer
go to a uploading site like tinypic.com
upload the pic,copy the address for "forums" and paste it on your messages here and the pic would "come on"

I went to ASAM yesterday and they told me that Nakeel have stopped all developers from issuing passes to the vist. I was trying to sort a visit out to see my apartment which is apparently finished!

^^

Nakheel have no involvement in JLT anymore DMCC are the people responsible for the infrastructure and development now.

^^ All same group, reporting to the same Chairman.

Thanks for the info Altind :)

Just to clarify:

Nakheel
Limitless
Isthimar
Dubai Ports
Dubai Customs
Dubai Free Zones (Including JAFZA)
DMCC

and any other I might have forgot, are all parts of DUBAI WORLD.

In the pic that show the plots access bridge, does anyone know if that is ment to be filled with water at some stage in the future, or is it just ment to be hard landscape?

Right, I have recoeved notification of from ASAM saying that the keys will be handed over mid Jan 08, ye ye

^^very nice...holding this for a long term would prove profitable for you chris

Cheers, would just be nice not to have to live in a suitcase for a change!!:nuts:

^^ :D

Don't hold your breath.

Are you waiting for handover as well?

Waiting? Me? No.

I also don't think a eminent delivery is possible. The Emirates Serviced Hotel Apartments there are scheduled to open by summer (I think) and Hotels are always optimistic.

Just in case anyone is interested, S1 have been cleared by EHS and DMCC. It would take about 1 to 2 weeks to get the building completion certificate from CED, that's when people can move in; so I suppose they made it before the end of January.

Where do you get your information from Maha, are you employed by one of the official departments?

That is great Maha, Looks like ASAM were not lying when they told me that we were good to go, but many thanks for the re-confirmation, much appreciated and keep the good news updates coming....

Floors at emporis are different to here!!!!

Done!!!

THX

Good news everyone, i got in to the apartment today to take a look and its all as ASAM promised. There are people moving in as we speak, i am looking to move in early next week. I will download some internals ASAP...

^^ good one

Can anyone tell me what the service charges psq ft are in Green Lakes please? Wanted to compare to Goldcrest who are asking for a first year charge of 15 p sq ft

http://i29.tinypic.com/27y8qd0.jpg
http://i27.tinypic.com/33uy243.jpg

I was told that we would be looking at around 15-20AED per sq ft, so Goldcrest's sounds about right.

finishing looks good, did you get the key?

Yes, i have had the key for a week now, we are moving in our things, and tonight (touch wood) will be our first night...

does anyone want me to have a snop around any of the other near by sites??

^^ congrats...quite impressed with ur unit...
any plans for easter??

Chris,
Would you be able to take some pics of your podium area, as this must be the first complete cluster podium on JLT. Also are there any shops/cafes due to be open soon?

Thanx

No prob, i will wait till this weekend, so that i can take some pics during daylight hours. Anything in particular you want to see? or just general podium pics?

Please also post pictures of the reception and other facilities. Have you registered yet with DMCC?

Thanx Chris,
General podium pics would be great, just to give an idea of the layout of the whole cluster, also the view from your aptmnt and if not too much trouble, a pic of the metro station u/c.

Thanx again Chris:)

No probs, everyone. I will post them all on Saturaday night if not before.

Has anyone been up to the pool and gym yet ?

Yes its really nice. Sorry for being so slack but i have actually taken all the pics i promised i will be uploading them ASAP

^^ chris i heard transfers has stopped on the property for the time being...any truth in that??

As far as i am aware people are still moving in. The flat next to me was being cleaned for moving in this week, so S1 is still go!!

We have been given a date of 25th March for S2, so handovers must be going ahead.

I visited the sales event the developer held last week in the S3 tower. One thing I noticed was that all studio- and 1 bedroom apartments were sold, while most 2 BR and above seemed still to be available. At stiff prices, though.

http://cyril.amtex.nl/skyscrapercity/24.jpg

I found the quality of the finishing work altogether quite satisfactory. Only the cooking plate could better have been induction.


http://cyril.amtex.nl/skyscrapercity/25.jpg

The hatch in the kitchen looks nice but is not too practical.


http://cyril.amtex.nl/skyscrapercity/26.jpg

The only serious point of criticism pertains to the bathroom. What is the point of having 2 or even more full bathrooms, when none of them has a stand-alone shower? All of them have a showerhead mounted above the tub, which is very impractical.


http://cyril.amtex.nl/skyscrapercity/27.jpg

The pool on the roof, though not very deep, makes a great experience.

Zayed Road view, eastwards (city centre direction).

wonderful shoots ...luxury finishing

I have visited the location as well, and I was indeed impressed by the quality and spacious rooms, etc.. Pool was kind of strange, not much space for laying in the sun.

What pulled me off (I was looking for living there myself), was the terrible noise from Sheikh Zayed Road, even on high floors, to a certain extent the same noise and its reflections you have in the Dubai Marina area. I know, some people/cultures do not care about background noise, but to me it was unbearable.

Also, amazing to see the sales downstairs, apartments were going as selling cakes. Fascinating!

I agree. Sitting on your balcony is not going to be that great experience as I expected it to be. Not only the noise, but balconies are small so you really feel like you are dangling between heaven and earth... add to it the dust and heat, and it won't be a peaceful experience.
It must be said that this of course goes for every apartment in a highrise. Maybe you should better go to the beach instead if you like to be outside.

I agree that the noise is not great, but in those appartments people dont really open the windows, nor do they sit on the balcony. Most people have the A/C on all the time, which means that they dont hear much of the noise from SZR, I guess. The biggest advantage of Green Lake Towers is having the Metro Station right in front of your door, which will allow you to use the Metro even from June to September, as you will need only a minute or two to reach the station from the main entrance of the building...provided that your destination is an airconditioned office or mall with direct access to the Metro too...on the other hand you can walk over the pedestrians bridge to the Marina and stroll around there in the cooler months....it seems that on the Marina side of SZR there will be a tram station, which connects the Marina residents with the Metro...so connection to public transport couldnt be better....that s basically why I bought there, even though the prices were pretty high...hope it s going to pay off one day :cheers:

Still I think the Marina has one advantage over JLT, which probably also explains the slightly higher prices: from JLT, it is just too far to make an easy walk to the beach. I looked across Zayed Road and it seemed very wide!
Especially if you live on the western half of the Marina, the beach is very close, which makes it also attractive for tourists.

No worries, who ever has bought there, congratulations, it is probably still a good move, and I agree that Metro station close by, is convenient.

Somehow I felt it was depressing, like I said because of the noise, but also the "concrete jungle", towers close to each others, views of roads and other towers, etc.. I mean, being in a desert city, not too much green, is already a challenge, but why all these ugly buildings next to you, with all these people living their lives with closed doors. Last but not least, it was also depressing to see that people are paying high prices for such an environment. The indigenous people of UAE will be amazed that people are now paying so much to live in their country in such an environment.

Ok, quality inside was good, and may be when the lake is built and all towers ready, it all may be better looking.

Anyway, people differ, I like to waterfront and more quiet environments.

Looks like the Emerates team have taken over the managment of the buildings.

NO adverts please

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me. I am thinking of renting one of the 2 bed apartments long-term and I was wondering what their take on pet ownership is? I know the serviced Holiday apartments have a no pet policy so i was concerned this applied to the residents too?

Thank you for any help

Ben

Service Charges...is anybody on this forum owner at GLT and if so, what are you guys going to do about the service charge, which was raised painfully in 2009 ? Just pay the 2008 charge, as per RERA decision ? Many thanks !

Hi - I heard the Big E is moving out at the end of March. If any owners wish to rent me (end user) their 2 or 3 bed apartment at the reasonable rate, then please personal message me. I own an apartment in Icon 2 but its already 14 months late and I need somewhere to live! Thanks.

Has this news been confirmed? As far as i was aware they are staying put, but you all know what it is like around here.. As for service charges it is very strange, when ever i ask them for the rates or even an invoice to pay they un and ar and tell me not yet...

Yup, Emirates is moving out. Today is the last day for all that glitzy elegant reception teams they have in S1, S2, S3. Security, maintenance will function as normal.

Service charges, as I found out from the maintaining company, works out to Dhs. 15.00 per sq. ft.

Green Lakes Owners, join the Green Lakes Towers group on Facebook.

Folks, do you know why the cafe has closed?
Was there insufficient demand?

No idea about teh cafe. It is a great shame as even though it was never that busy it was very nicely looked after and offered some sort of social environment withing the cluster.

Has anyone noticed that the pool area is in very bad shape. In and around the pool edge and outdoor showers are very dirty. I trust that the new facilities man are on teh case!!

Dear all,

Just a heads up but according to Gulf News the JLT is NOT a free zone. I do not understand this as we would in that case not been able to purchase our units!

http://gulfnews.com/news/gulf/uae/general/jumeirah-lakes-towers-no-free-zone-status-1.517553

It was a statement from the DMCC , it said JLT is free zone, you can check on the JLT main thread , I posted 2nd of November, also you can see here:

http://imresolt.blogspot.com/2009/11/statement-from-dubai-multi-commodities.html

.......

For the Housing fees exception it is applicable for Free Zone Companies and their Empolyes.

Not applicable is Freehold Resedential area in general.

In other words :
1- offices for free zone companies on their DEWA bills there is no Housing fees
2- Employess of free zone companies who are renting property in Dubai they pay Housing fees but the company can claim it back.
