Creek Marina project located in Phase VII of DHA Karachi

Its actually Phase VIII not VII, also I went to the presentation at Sheraton Hotels the other day, I got a few pictures which I'll upload in the coming days, but just wanted to bring your attention to the prices;

4 Bedroom Apartment - Costs around 2 Crores 80 Lacs. Is that affordable?

The Answer is NO, firstly because of the price, secondly because of the location. If you notice Creek Marina is situated right at the end of Karachi's DHA Boundry. While it may seem as a prime spot to some, according to me there are no Major Highways/Roads that connect to Creek Marina, no Bus Routes, no Train routes ETC.

So in the end to go to Sharea Faisal for example you would have to take the Phase VIII road alongside Creek City, then the Carlton Hotel road, then Kh-Itehad then Korangi road and then onto Sharea Faisal. Not the best commute time I'm looking for.

I've also started a thread on this project in the world forums. Please do contribute your comments and thoughts in that thread as well. Besides promoting Pakistan at the local level, we should do it in the World forums as well.

^ yeah sure .. 3 Crore's and 80 Lacs for a 4-Bedroom Apartment.

Hassandada,

Such posts are pointless since they do not offer Constructive Criticism please refrain from this habit. Also this is a time to be united

I agree with UP,

Plus if your thinking 3 Crore's is "too" much, a small Cinema in Bahadurabad was just recently sold for 115 Crores

Construction probably doesnt start till December...
or so I've heard

I emailed creek marina, and they said construction would begin on Dec. 31st. And they've also delayed the launching of there second phase due to the massive earthquake.

this is the latest update by creek marina website

In the aftermath of the recent catastrophic earthquake affecting Pakistan, Creek Marina Pakistan in conjunction with its world-renowned consultants, Meinhardt, plan to offer free consulting services to the Government of Pakistan for the reconstruction of affected areas as well as strengthening the building codes and seismic requirements governing the design of tall buildings in Pakistan.

i got an email from them

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

Dear Sir/Madam:

Further to our earlier email, we are pleased to announce that we have received an overwhelming response from Expatriate Pakistanis. Most of the units in Phase 1 have been sold out. The remaining units are still available on a first come, first serve basis - SO ACT FAST!

Phase two of the project, incorporating Tower 1 which will be available for overseas Pakistanis, will be released when there is sufficient demand. Tower 1 is priced differently (see encl.) to Phase one towers as it has higher specifications for those buyers who are willing to pay a bit more for the extra luxury and convenience - special features include:

* All round sea and/or pool garden views
* Imported marble / parquet flooring (living room / bedrooms)
* Fully fitted out designer's kitchens
* A/C throughout
* Imported built-in wardrobes throughout

Tower 1 will either be allocated through short listing or by a fully transparent ballot depending on the response received.

We anticipate that this release will be in early December 2005.

To be a part of this privileged & luxurious development we recommend that you return your completed EOI (either be faxed/emailed latest by 24 Nov 2005) to ensure that you get what you want!! We are also requesting that all buyers remit a USD5,000 refundable deposit when they submit their EOI (bank details encl.). This will put their name on the priority list for Tower 1.

Join us as we set unrivalled standards of spatial planning, luxury, finishes & facilities at Creek Marina, like the ones offered by other world class residences in advanced cities like New York, London, Singapore, Hong Kong & Sydney.

Maybe they are digging the foundations at the moment. Good reporting Musiddiqui! Much appreciated, thanks.

just found this news from creek marina website

news update
Phase 2 Launching Soon! Congratulations to buyers of Phase 1 Units...Pakistan's first 6-star residences

Construction has started in 2005
Designed to highest international standards of seismic safety, quality & finishes.

Progress Report:http://www.creekmarina.com

The construction of Creek Marina project started last year in accordance with the project schedule. The first 2 contracts relating to the boundary wall construction and basement excavation have been completed ahead of schedule - which explains the lull in the site activities for a short while as the piling contractor was due to mobilize in accordance to the original schedule. The piling contract has been awarded to renowned team IVCC Bachy Soletanche (U.K) - PMC (U.K).
To improve the site security and visibility, sufficient lighting powered by our own generators has been installed throughout the site. This will enable the buyers and prospective buyers to visit the site and view the progress of works. Large perspectives of the apartments' interiors and exteriors have been installed along the boundary wall to enable our customers to have a glimpse of the luxuries unfolding at Creek Marina.


Project Updates Slide show!

The piling works are due to be completed in 20 weeks. In addition, the contract for construction of sales/site office has also been awarded and the construction works are currently in progress. The main contractor for the construction of superstructure will be mobilised as soon as the piling works are completed.

Cant find prices on their website. Wondering if anyone knows the pricing structure for the apartments? Thanks

I so want this completed NOW...think of the competition this will stir in Karachi...hell look already...EMMAR is going to give a complete uplift to Karachi.

Patience people...you and I know how construction happens in Pakistan...

Argh I just hate how slow this stuff is. In Columbus Ohio they built a entire new downtown district in only 2 years. The first phase was completed in only one year! Why cant we speed things up?! Cmon Pakistan!

Well, theres no need to lose patience. This project is being built right on the seafront where the sand is loose. It cant support large buildings. This is why the piling work is being done to increase the strength of the soil. Once its done, I am sure the building will start rising up rapidly like Creek Vistas did. Both of them have the same contstructors.


خوب، صبر کو ھاتھ سے مت چھورو ، یھ منصوبھ صاحل سمندر کے پاس تعمیر کیا جا رھا ھے جھاں ریت ڈھیلی ھوتی ھے۔ اس پر بڑی عمارتیں نھیں تعمیر کی جا سکتی ھیں۔ اس لیے پاءلنگ کا کام جاری ھے تاکھ ریت میں مضبوتی آ جاءے۔ جب یھ کام مکمل ھو جاءے گا، تو مجھے یقین ھے کھ یھ عمارت کریک وسٹاز کی طرح تیزی سے پیشرفت کرے گی۔ دونو منصوبے ایک ھی معمار کے ھیں ۔

Site for the raffles club that will also be built near this project:

http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/108/rafflesclub5at.jpg

Here's a lesson in construction technology: They're obviously doing the piling here. The concrete piles will hold up the load of the buildings so they have to be extremely strong. This whole area was originally reclaimed from the Arabian Sea and the ground is mostly sand. The piles have to be driven till they hit solid ground which in this area is up to 80 meters underground. That's over 250 feet down - almost 25 stories deep. That’s why the piling takes so long. Once that’s done then the rest of the building will go up quickly.

The pile of concrete blocks is to test the strength of the piles that are driven into the ground. if it sinks more than a centimeter or two the pile is rejected. Sinking by a few centimeters means that the building will become warped.

what exactly is a raffles club? a resort?

Hey swerveut, any idea which are those two building in the pic on the right? (the pic behind the mockup).

@ Karachiite: I think the project is going block-wise, piling for a couple of blocks is already completed and is now awaiting start of construction by guangdong, whereas other blocks are still in the piling phase and some blocks still havent been put on the market.

@ Khanrak: looks like a genral club maybe like Karachi gymkhana, creek club or the like, but not sure. Theres a raffles club in Singapore which seems like is going to be affiliated with this, so please find out about that one and do let us know as well.

@ Umais: good observation, I will have to find out next time I go to this place.

umais i think thats the building that meinhardt is building at singapore marina bay

1. Piling Work 100% completed
2. Pile Tests100% completed
3. The Main Contractor, Guang Dong Overseas Construction Group Ltd has started mobilization works including:
a. Hiring of local/ Chinese personnel
b. Joint survey with IVCC
c. Submission of dewatering methodology
d. Construction of Site office for client/ consultant

Wonder why they need another site office. They already had a good one earlier.

Also, passed by Creek City today, it seems like exterior finishing work is in full swing these days. Will get pics soon as well hopefully.

Creek Marina updates- the residences for workers etc. seem to have been completed:

Is that Creek City in the background?

I believe it is.

Is that Creek City in the background?

thats creek vista in the background creek city is the name of the whole development that includes creek vista creek marina creek heritage creek terraces and creek towers

I also get confused between the different "creeks".

Remember it this way - City is for the whole project, hence city. Marina, obviously is the one next to the sea. Others are Vista, and a couple of others.

dont see much people there... is construction going at a good pace or just like all the other projects..!!???

Thanks for the pics again, whats that structure in the first picture?

This is, i think, on-site concrete plant.

Looks like a Mayfair candybar :lol:

they store cement in those cylindrical things

^^ thats what i said...cement alone is nothing...they probably store ready made concrete mix there.

the pictures show concrete mixing plant and tower cranes but it seems no construction taking place,
where s the labour ? and when w the work start ?

Never, they've abandoned the project.

Are you somehow related to Sanaji?

abandoned the project :eek: when, how, who? Projects in our Faisalabad gets abandoned too... :rofl:







































sanajiiiiiii kahan ho tum????

REALLY......??? have they..???

The project has not been abandoned at all. They were just concentrating their energies on building accomodation for the loads of chinese workers who have come over to work on this project with the construction company.

I have been passing by this project lately, and new progress is that they have almost finished working on a model apartment for this project. Also, basements for most towers have been concretized and now work on the superstructure of at least 1 tower has begun already. I asked the office people about it and they say that in first phase three towers will be started for construction, then once they are on the way, others will be started. Whenever I passed by the site, i ran into some chinese people running around. So I guess expect to see floors rising above the ground level in about a month's time.

Also, those big blue and white cylinders are cement silos for raw cement storage. It is part of the cement batching plant which makes cement how and when it is required.

Cheers!

any pics ?

Thanks for the info swerveut! Dosen't look like the project can be abandoned now after the auxilary structures they've already built for this project.

I never said it was abandoned, I said it to scare off the guy who was asking questions like Sanaji used to! :doh:

^^ You should have let it go on for a while longer. It was fun watching these guys react like that. :laugh:

So you were making fun of us ???

It's sort of a dead/slowwwwwwwwwwwwwww project. So let's not put it in the int'l forum. We keep embarrassing ourselves with dead projetcs. The only projects that should be discussed in the int'l forums are SZC and Centaurus. Actually, Hyatt Isb too.

That video was uploaded at the end of April 2008, so maybe that's a sign they may be picking up the pace of construction? Hopefully?

Creek Marina Pile Test

-ubrpkRIueU

thanks for the update after a long time but what r they doing now?

they are doing pile test what u think

some structue is rising up on one of the towers now and it has gone past the first story. However, I think with Crescent Bay coming in the picture, all the business for Creek Marina is now out the window. Coupled by the current economic recession, a mixture of bad marketing and exorbitant pricing, I dont think this project is doing very well.

I would love to buy an apartment here rather than crescent bay..... dunno y but crescent bay does not seem to be delivering what they promised

You don't know much about Creek City, do you?

Project Update:

One of the towers is about to start third floor construction. The rest of the towers are still awaiting their rise from the ground level.

good update faddie.

imagine if all the vacant area in the picture is filled with tall skyscrappers...

what a sight would that be....!!!

That vacant area is all meant for detached double story houses. It belongs to individuals for the last 30+ years as plots of 500, 1000 & 2000 square yards.

At the rate it's going it might take 10-20 years to be filled up.

The DHA owns the land on the fringes of the peninsula and they've been gradually increasing it's size by sea reclamation and that's where all the new projects are being built. In fact, the land Emaar is building on is almost all reclaimed from the sea.

Emaar usurped our plot...

Nice to see updates coming from different Pakistani projects, the pace albeit is slow.

they are working on a steady pace so it will take time but will get complete in time. btw thanx for the update.

This project is also visible from Korangi road now, I counted at least 2 cranes from there.

Wow latest render!!


:ohno:
Check the first page!

They seem to have FINALLY started on with proper construction work. We can easily look towards 3+ years for completion. I think this project has suffered tremendously because of competition with Emaar's Crescent Bay which is located right next door and attracting all investment that way. Not all the towers are sold as yet as far as I know. These guys might have to lower their prices in order to completely sell the other buildings.

Many people are not interested in living near the sea.

There was flight of capital recently so many people who would have bought previously are not buying any more. I think the number of potential buyers has probably done down. Remember when Creek City and Crescent Bay were launched there were 10 times as many buyers as the number of flats.

But as far as I remember Creek Marina never had the same kind of rush to buy.

I took a couple a pictures of it when I was in the area. But it was 12 in the night, so they probably didn't come out right. Will put them when I get home.

hey guys they have done a contract with paragon constructors for tower 7,8 and 3 I think and they have promised to finish it by the end of 2011 lets c .I hope it finishes

siamu maharaj can u check for other towers other than tower 4 because we are getiing updates for that tower only.curious to see the other work.if u go there plz take the pics of whole site if possible.I'm not in pakistan so cant visit :(

Other towers are still foundation, basement or ground level.

There are two cranes up other than on Tower 4 so there should be two more towers rising up soon hopefully.

Buddy, I'm the worst poster here when it comes to posting updates.

yhhhh.... koi keera nikalwana ho toh batao :D

Yep, there are 3 cranes on site, so there will be at least 2 more towers.

binte is usually a female name. Maybe s/he can clarify and introduce herself in the Get To Know thread.

if its a she, toh phir saimu ka agla shikar.....:lol:


thanx 4 da updates TASEER 121

"binte" actually means "daughter of" so binte mahmood means daughter of Mahmood. It's usually written as abc binte xyz - abc daughter of xyx. The female version of "bin". I'm sure she has another first name.

Yeah, I know, bint = daughter. I know a girl whose name is binte fatima, and her mom isn't even named fatima. What a crazy stupid name. It feels so wrong calling someone binte, or binte fatima. Also, in my school there was a girl named umme kulsoom. WTF would someone name their daughter that? For those who don't know that mean mother of kulsoom.

^^ The name Binte Fatima does mean daughter of Fatima but i am guessing that in this scenario the parents named her that referring to the Daughter of the prophet as in they just named her daughter of Fatima (S.A). Umme Kulsoom was the name of one of the daughters of Hazrat Ali (A.S) so that maybe one of the reasons why that girl was named Umme Kulsoom although Kulsoom would have been just fine.

LMAO! Umme Kulsoom... now that's really insane....
:rofl:

Are you referring to the comment made by me or Siamu Maharaj????

I guess we were posting at the same time.

I think we are laughing on very prestigious names in Islam and of course off the topic

Umme XYZ is a monumentally ridiculous name. It's not even a name. Binte XYZ is just as ridiculous, except if the mother/father's named XYZ. Even in that case, there must be a "name" and then followed by Binte XYZ. So yeah, anyone who gives their kids these moronic no-names should be killed.

Dude calm down why are you so weird about such things??? It is not as if its your name so let it go no one is asking you to name your kids in the same manner. Its not even tht big a deal. LET IT GO!!!!

It's certainly not a big deal for me. But it usually is for the kids who spend their lifetimes explaining their name to everyone. We are 4 bro/sis with 4 unique names. Let's just say I know what I'm talking about. But at least our names aer not dumb in addition to being weird.

Females can also be buddies, no?

My O My feeling very sorry for all u brothers.Come on don't act like kidsssssssss..Well indeed my fathers name is Mahmood and Im his daughter and by the way i have made it my user name it isn't my real name.

Well coming to the point. I was just looking for some some info about Creek Marina so came here and posted my queries. So don't have I the right to ask? Well if you have some latest pics do share.The one on the site I have already seen.

Thanx to all brothers here.
Allahafiz.

O you all Abu Creek City... get back on topic!

yup that should be done

Okay, back to the topic.

But Binte still doesn't sound quite right. We'll call you Binny.

And watch out for our resident Romeos Siamu and Paguma, and resident mayhem creator, a man named Ooga Booga.

New April 2009 updates at:

http://www.creekmarina.com/theme/construction-updates/index.php

I also heard that some people (renters mostly) have already started living at Creek Vistas.

Could be possible. I could see a lot of lights in the appts switched on in the night. I thought they were workers.

Siamu do u live near by or just go for a drive there????

Any idea what are the rents of Creek Vista apartments???

great updates faddie

These updates are from the site...well anybody know any update about tower-7 which they have started???

It's certainly not a big deal for me. But it usually is for the kids who spend their lifetimes explaining their name to everyone. We are 4 bro/sis with 4 unique names. Let's just say I know what I'm talking about. But at least our names aer not dumb in addition to being weird.

These are not names, these are titles (i.e. son of abc, mother of xyz), which were more prominent during the middle-ages in most of the known world (i.e. Arabia, Persia, Europe). It was a method of identifying the family of a person. 'Umme' would only be valid as a title if one had a child.

this is one of my fav projects in Pakistan :)
thnx Faddie

He said that tower will rise to 27fl, so;
Thread title should b changed to 27fl!

on tower 7 on which floor are they working

nice pics nouman26.. where is binte. mahmood???:lol:

These are the best updates so far. Thanks. Yeah, he said 27 floors. Also, he said that 50% of the project was sold in the first few days and more were sold later. Than they stopped selling for a while because of the market slowdown. Presumably they still haven't sold all the units, so are they selling them now?

Where are u KB??
Plz change the thread title!
Thanks!

^^The best way is to sent me or FK a PM.

nice updates faddie thanks keep updating us:)

^^ Yes, it seems that way for now.

Only one tower is showing progress. A couple of others are also under-construction but they are still at the level of ground floor. This one has boards on it that says "PRINCIPAL" and is currently at level 12.

nice one faddie... that tower is rising at a good pace... looks taller than from the pics posted earlier..

See how the stones have turned black up to the tide level? That's because of the heavy pollution of the sea in that area as a result of the untreated sewerage being dumped into the sea and also oil spills from the Kemari port area.

Man pollution is a huge problem for pakistan and the whole world :ohno:
