Too many sharks in the marina! Talking of swimming, do you think it will be possible to cross over the marina easily from marina promenade or bay central etc. to the mall ? There was talk of a water taxi service before ?

i'd expect there will be some kind of transportatiton service probably with stations at the two yacht clubs, the marina mall and somewehre on the JBR side.

if not, i am going to make a lot of money with such a business.

^^ Count me in flo! Ill go 50 / 50 with you :)

Wow this has taken off

:eek2: This mall is wonderful.

Anyone know which hotel chain this will be ? Notice how the hotel connects to the mall and the mall connects to the gourmet tower.

awesome shot.. u can see the extension of the tower into the marina abt to rise...

3 things.

http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/3726/marina1026063la8kopiebq4.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

first i understand the tower will be the white part, but then, what is the green gap?

2nd, what will happen to the small strech of land into the marina (red)

3rd what is the use of the extension of the extension ;) (blue) ?

extension of extension looks like a small marina for docking berths. Perhaps partly for a boat taxi service to the gourmet tower ?

The red part is reserved for The Atlantic which should get underway soon.

And the green area, I would say, is the main entrance into the underground car park.

Has anyone information about the Gourmet Tower ?

Has anyone information about the Gourmet Tower ?

HUNGRY?!

wats wrong with the gourmet Tower?

There's nothing wrong, why?

maybe the architect's website might have more information?

I dun think they change the design as per latest drawing.

According to this we also get a cinema complex in the Marina ! :banana:


RETAIL NEWS: FUTURE FOOD REWARDED BY DUBAI MARINA MALL AND HOTEL CONTRACT

A stunning development located in Jumeirah Beach with a collection of dining venues strategically located throughout the 200 room, five star hotel and apartment, the unprecedented retail and shopping mall including a family entertainment centre and cinema complex and six level Gourmet Tower.

The Promenade promises a plethora of cafés and restaurants - a social hub and place to meet, the atmosphere is euphoric and gives patrons a taste of ‘first to Dubai’ brands. The ‘Gourmet Tower’ overlooking the Marina producing awe inspiring views - houses 6 levels of exquisite restaurants and bars - all with alfresco dining and offering Dubai a whole new experience.

Future Food have been involved with a number of large scale projects in the Middle East, South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand and are well equipped to undertake this new, bench mark Emaar project. The latest addition to the team Daniel Morgan comes to us from England with a fresh and enthusiastic approach to project work. Having worked on several prestigious high profile destinations in both England and Australia, Daniel brings to the team a wealth of experience in business processes, conceptual development, food styling and an in depth understanding of operational and financial management coupled with a passion for food.

I imagine the gourmet tower restaurants will have a liquor license becuase they are technically connected to the hotel.

it will be awesome and i don't care about the freakin license..

cinema is a MUST!

I don't care about the license either but just to let you know the information :)

Being Irish I do care about the license!!!


Alcohol was invented so that the Irish would never rule the world:cheers:

I thought that was the British Government? :runaway:

I'm glad to hear that there will be a cinema too. Great news as this area is truly shaping up to be the new focal point of the Marina.

perhaps the architects would have more info on interior renders for this project?

it will be awesome and i don't care about the freakin license..

That's because you are underaged and are not allowed to even look at a drink for the next decade or so... :bash: :bash:

A cinema is the last piece in the puzzle for the marina development, IMO - great stuff!

That's because you are underaged and are not allowed to even look at a drink for the next decade or so... :bash: :bash:

as a matter of fact i am not underage any more but then i am not stupid enough to begin drinking.

then i am not stupid enough to begin drinking.

There is a big difference between enjoying a fine champagne, irish coffee or whatever and getting totally :nuts: :booze: on it. Too much tends to bring out the worst in people but a little does not harm, in fact, in can even be beneficial.

The only reason why we in Europe drink alcohol is that in the 1500's or something the water was really undrinkable. Brewing beer made it not only taste better was cleaner too.

So. The magic is in not overdoing it. :cheers:

Progress on site as at 1st November 2006

http://www.alec.ae/Uploads/Images//alec%20web.jpg

http://www.alec.ae/Uploads/Images//DSC00660.JPG

Good progress

I cant wait for the Gourmet-Tower :eat:

I will spend sooo much time and $$ here once it is finished! I am even thinking of just ripping my kitchen out to create extra space since I will be at the gourmet tower every day of the week!

The key for the tower to succeed is the license. A lot of restaurants along marina walk seem to fail because there is none so clients go to the hotel restaurants (My favorite is the Italian at the Ritz Carlton).

Not that I need to have a drink when having dinner but the thought of having a FANTA or a COLA with my lobster is just horrorfying!

Gourmet tower restaurants will be licensed but other Marina ones will not be unless there is a physical connection to a hotel. So some in JBR walk and in the basements of the hotel towers will also be licensed.

^^no alkohol - no problem :puke:

they are working 24 hrs and on Friday as well.

I have noticed that they have made 2 curved "islands" by the mall. They are not on the map, but I can see them on Imre's photos 307 and 313, and on Krazy's no. 305. (Thank you Imre and Krazy for posting them).
They are not on Google Earth either, how often is this updated?

Looking at the building on 307 no. 3, and 313 no. 3 on the right, this is the part of the hotel standing in the water (like no. 1 on page 1)? Right?

^^ They are just temporary works to facilitate access during construction. They are just sand bagged and will be removed once complete. The structures will end up over, or in the water.

Thank you True Blue for the info.

Photo was taken on Friday 30/3/07, Mall construction was flatout 24/7. BC had quite a lot of activity earlier in week but no work on Friday

Great photo PS500. Thanks.
I notice on the left hand side, they have not started building Al Dua'a Tower and The Atlantic yet :(

The construction of the mall is going well, but I have a question:
How many mall are being built in Dubai?

What a beautiful location for the mall :)

they should've called it something else though .. Marina mall is already used in AD

I don't think the name has been finalised yet. This is just a thread title. I don't think it will be called Marina Mall.

It's not just the thread title - the project name on the site sign board is Dubai Marina Mall, Hotel and Residences. I don't have any problem with that name.

And how often have they changed names on boards??? Wasn't Ibn Batutta Mall called The Gardens Mall for like 2 years during construction, only to be changed just prior to opening?

Naz, you are right - Emaar may well change the name prior to opening, as is their right...only time will tell. However, everyone I know refers to the Marina Mall, and it is in the middle of Dubai Marina, so in my view why change it?

I don't know, but it might piss the guys behind the Marina Mall off.

drove past this site a few days back at night.. looks like work indeed is in full swing 24/7.. massive site, you really have to see it in person to see how big the mall is gonna be overall

from the back side it looked rather weird to me. i somehow felt a lot of parking space will be included in it?

And they are close on compleating the exit lane from SZR that will access the Mall from the tunnel under the road. It was interesting to see that the tunnel will serve as the gate to the parking lot, actually becoming part of the Mall structure itself.

BTW we have to ask that guy working for Meinhard Singapore, if he can get us better renders of the Mall as well as for the height of the Hotel tower. He can tell us perhaps if the company he works with, is or not involved with the Marina Phase 2 in front of TT and MH.

(Same guy that got us the details for Dancing Towers)

^^ sure you can see this one one of my pictures.

interestingly there is already some promising landscaping underway for the entire area in front of the marina podium

OK - since nobody else has commented - just look at the size of the arch. Ten storeys high...what a structure! Will allow everyone walking along the eastern Marina Walk to see the Mall. Fantastic.

I'll try to get the full details ... rendering ... yes we have the new one from the architect ... lemme look for it. but gourmet tower havent finalised yet I think .....

btw, wat is TT and MH?? Twisting Tower? :lol: :lol:

^^ TT = The Torch, MH = Marina Heights.

EMAAR is building a new complex next to Marina Phase 1, that comprises Hotel and Shopping arcade. Location is the big empty plot, near the water, in the center of the picture:

http://i15.tinypic.com/2r6ehjn.jpg


The thread: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=438699&page=7

Oh .... i see..... such a big plot over there.

ANyway, this Dubai Marina Mall, Hotel, and Office Tower (Plus Gourmet Tower)

The Mall ... is arnd 10 sty
The Hotel and the Office Tower are 36 sty (160.8m height)
then Carpark
Then Gourmet Tower (still amending)

Mall, Hotel and Carpark is going to be the 1st phase and will be connected one to each other.

Office Tower is still under tender... will be 2nd phase

Gourmet Tower .... design stage ... not sure but most prolly will be the last one ...

sorry forgot the rendering tho ... :(

Thanks glitz,

A 10 storey mall, wow!

Would love to see the render. Can you still get it ?

But the core of Gourmet Tower is several floors tall, so I think nothing important is being changed on the design, just small revisions.

The building on the left is the mall-hotel, and will be 40 stories tall.
The building in the middle is the mall, and will be 6 - 10 stories tall.
The gourmet tower is on the right hand side - ? stories. (The round building?)

Anyway this is the information I got...

no plet its 36 sty only ... for the hotel and office tower ..

yes the mall will be 10th sty .. now still designing the 10th sty after being revised ... (again? lolz) with an attached 4 sty carpark ...

Gourmet Tower ... not much of a design in terms of shape of the building and the shape of the core wall ... but other than the core wall is all diff from the original design .... guess it will take time coz still have to go thru 3rd party checker which is Halcrow

Thank you Glitz Boy.
Please update us if you get more info.

oh issit? how come u say so? is it the font? what factors cause u to say such? just curious :) i personally think its fine, if its different from typical archi websites then that means good, cos if its like all else then there is no distinction already, dont u think so?

i suppose ill have to agree. i focus on actionscript websites, and it is VERY mediocre in terms of scripting, seems basic abilities used. Not for professional websites would i use several movies in one. seems :(.

i like the building tho! very... singaporian designed buildings

excellent shots Imre.. the scale of this one is scary

I love the overhead shots where you get a glimpse of the Atrium courtyard. If this is accurate it will look fantastic;


http://i15.tinypic.com/6ftbrlh.jpg

Will there be an atrium courtyard in the middle of the mall?

Looks fantastic.

Looking at the aerials by Imre of the mall I can only repeat: Holy sh.....t!!!!!!
I somehow didn't expect it to be this huge and it's not even half way up.

@6453 ... u not from dp meh :D:P

nope, im not. :) but ur kinda from meinhardt SG

... caugh ... caugh ... caugh :D

Is the metro station, near the Mall?

And the other building with one leg in water, is that also part of Mall?

^^ The Metro Station is on the other side of the highway and is pretty distant from the mall (both 2 of them actually). The building with the leg on the water is Hotel and Apartment building and is indeed part of the Mall complex.

This is going to be amazing when completed !! Does anyone know one about the parking situation in the Mall ?

is there any Plots in the marina just for parking ? - maybe they should have made one at the end of the marina near the industrial bit with a boat service as a drop off to any point in in the marina.

i thought there was going to be a park area in the marina hmm or maybe not ?

^^ The Mall has it's own parking (the rear part of the structure)

this is going to be the entrance to the mall parking directly from SZR.

Emaar Properties has unveiled the Dubai Marina Mall complex comprising a shopping and entertainment centre. Promising to be a total shopping and lifestyle destination, Dubai Marina Mall, located along the waterfront, is scheduled to open in the second half of 2008.

The Dubai Marina Mall complex extends over an area of 42,000 sq m and will have 40,000 sq m of net leaseable space. It will house several retail outlets offering an array of shopping options, an extensive spread of restaurants and cafes, a cineplex and children's entertainment area. A two-level basement plus five-storey parking lot will accommodate over 3,000 vehicles.

Emaar Malls Group LLC, the retail subsidiary of Emaar Properties, will start leasing the retail space soon. The focus is on offering a balanced retail and entertainment spread that meets the needs of Dubai Marina residents and visitors.

"Dubai Marina is one of the most fashionable lifestyle neighbourhoods in the city, and the Dubai Marina Mall will enhance the quality of living of residents by serving as a one-stop shopping and entertainment destination," said Mr Rashid Doleh, Chief Executive Officer, Emaar Malls Group LLC. "The Mall also highlights Emaar's growth strategy of diversifying into sectors such as education, healthcare, hospitality & leisure, malls, finance and industry, in line with the company's objective of being a total lifestyle provider."

"Dubai Marina has a projected total population of 75,000, and with several thousand residents already living in the waterfront neighbourhood, Dubai Marina Mall has a strong captive clientele. Its central location within the master-development will be a key attraction for tenants," added Mr Doleh. "We aim to provide an exciting mix of tenants within the mall and will include supermarkets, fashionwear, accessories, jewellers, boutiques, book and toy shops and music centres."

Dubai Marina Mall will sport a distinctive architectural style with a circular atrium that makes utmost use of the waterfront location. A pier, extending to the waterfront, will be lined with cafes and restaurants. The promenade level will anchor a variety of stores as well as food and beverage outlets that open to the waterfront. The ground and first floors showcase a wide range of retail options, while the second floor of the mall is dedicated for children's entertainment, food court and a cineplex with eight screens.

great news! this means alcohol will be served there!

^^ does it?

What is the tower on the right?

I hope there will be the best night club in Dubai. :lol:

^^ does it?

What is the tower on the right?

my understanding of "food and beverage" is that beverage here mainly refers to alcohol.

here is what Wikipedia says about it"

F&B is a common abbreviation in the Commonwealth countries, including Hong Kong. F&B is typically the widely accepted abbreviation for "Food and Beverage". Food and Beverage typically refers to the sector/industry that specializes in the conceptualization, the making of, and delivery of foods. The largest section of F&B employees are in restaurants and bars, including casinos and hotels.

Emaar Properties unveils Dubai Marina Mall Hotel

Emaar Properties has launched the Dubai Marina Mall Hotel, a 200-room luxury waterfront hospitality project, within Dubai Marina.

http://www.ameinfo.com/images/news/6/41696-emaar.jpg

The Dubai Marina Mall Hotel is part of the 150,000 sq m Dubai Marina Mall complex that also includes the Dubai Marina Mall Serviced Residences, the Dubai Marina Mall - a modern shopping and entertainment destination, and an 8-storey tower dedicated to diverse cuisines

'The 5-star Dubai Marina Mall Hotel will meet the strong demand for world-class hotel-rooms in the new growth corridor of Dubai and offers guests easy access to the Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City and Jebel Ali Free Zone,' said Mr Marc Dardenne, CEO, Emaar Hospitality Group LLC. 'The hotel's waterfront location and rich array of lifestyle amenities will appeal to leisure travellers, while business visitors can enjoy the added advantages of a state-of-the-art meeting and conference facility.'

Dubai Marina Mall Hotel has been intelligently designed to highlight the advantage of its waterfront location. It is elegantly clad in Mashrabia-patterned concrete and features a glass crown that gives the tower a distinct identity.

'Dubai Marina Mall Hotel will be managed by a reputable 5-star operator, and shall be focused on offering the luxuries expected of world-class hotels,' said Mr Dardenne. 'This is reflected in the extensive range of health and fitness facilities, the spa, guest lounges, all-day dining and specialty restaurants and a car park that can accommodate 450 vehicles.'

The hotel has internal walkways to the Dubai Marina Mall, which will have several retail outlets, food courts and entertainment options. The banquet facilities are located above the car park annex giving the guests a private domain for hosting functions. Other facilities include a business centre with extensive meeting facilities, a health spa and fitness centre including change rooms, steam room and whirlpools, a large outdoor pool with children's pool and an Executive lounge with outdoor terrace and children's play area located on the 14th Floor.

Dubai Marina is a 50 million sq ft mega project with 11 km of waterfront boardwalk and five marinas that can berth over 500 vessels. A centrepiece of the development is the Dubai Marina Motor Yacht Club, scheduled to open later this year, and offering an array of Marina-related services to members. The club will power Dubai Marina's concerted efforts to become a premier water sports destination.

Emaar is developing six residential projects within Dubai Marina. Three of them - Al Majara, Al Sahab and The Dubai Marina Towers - have been handed over to residents. Investor response to the three other up-and-coming projects - Marina Promenade, Marina Quays and Park Island - has been overwhelming. The master-development has a projected population of 75,000, and there are already several thousands of people living within Dubai Marina.

THAT 'S GOING TO BE NICE !!

This article from Property Weekly, June 13 edition, pretty much confirms it. "The focus is on offering a balanced retail and entertainment spread..."

http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/7508/mall1ft9.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Imre: I guess there is some resemblence between the two Marina Malls, with the atrium etc.

Will Dubai Marina Mall's atrium be covered with a glass roof, or will it be open?

^^ This is Dubai, no atrium is left under the mercy of the elements. ;)

in which time will finish ?

^^ Not before 2009 with the entire complex, including the Office Tower that has yet to start, 2010 and beyound.

The 442 serviced residences will be managed by the Emaar-approved hospitality operator that also manages the 5-star hotel.

'Dubai's fast-growing economy is a magnet for professionals and entrepreneurs - several of them, here, on short-term visits. This, complemented by the growth of high-value tourism, has led to strong and consistent demand for high quality executive serviced apartments offering the choice of long- and short-term leases,' said Mr Saif Al Mansoori, Sales Director, Emaar Properties.

'The Dubai Marina Mall Hotel & Serviced Residences also gives potential buyers the added advantage of being located within Emaar's established and much-sought after Dubai Marina master development,' he added. 'A new road network planned by the Roads and Transport Authority will further enhance the transport infrastructure, adding to the convenience of residents.'

Featuring rich architectural design elements such as Mashrabia precast concrete cladding Arabesque detailing and a glass crown, the Dubai Marina Mall Serviced Residneces tower maximises the benefits of its Marina location. The residences are located from levels 15 to 37, with the penthouses on level 38 having access to a shared roof garden.

The rooms have 2.8 metre high ceilings thus creating an atmosphere of spaciousness. They have tinted, double-glazed, full-height windows and sliding doors, and thermal-insulated exterior walls. The balconies, overlooking the Marina, are spacious and have glazed railings. All residences will have modern appliances such as Plasma TV set with DVD player, hi-speed Internet access, modern telecom facilities and a range of kitchen appliances including integrated refrigerators, washing machine and dryer, dishwashers and microwave ovens. The bathrooms sport marble wall and floor tiles and imported sanitary ware.

'The residences have environmentally-friendly features with a central building management system monitoring the system performance. The rooms also come equipped with advanced information technology and communication systems,' said Mr Al Mansoori. 'Underground parking, car drop off at ground entrance level, and 24-hour security and maintenance support enhance quality of living.'

At the Dubai Marina Mall Serviced Residences, residents can enjoy a luxurious Marina lifestyle. The adjacent Dubai Marina Mall, accessible via internal walkways, which will be home to prestigious retail chains, a cineplex, food court and children's entertainment centre. Residents can also gain access to the facilities at the Dubai Marina Mall Hotel, including various restaurants, the outdoor terrace and pool, children's play area, spa and fitness facilities. There is also a dedicated 14th Floor Residents Club, offering leisure and fitness facilities and an outdoor terrace which gives uninterrupted views of the Marina.

Dubai Marina is a 50 million sq ft mega project with 11 km of waterfront boardwalk and five marinas that can berth over 500 vessels. A centrepiece of the development is the Dubai Marina Motor Yacht Club, scheduled to open later this year, and offering an array of Marina-related services to members. The club will power Dubai Marina's concerted efforts to become premier water sports destination.

The master-development has a projected population of 75,000, and there are already several thousands of people living within Dubai Marina.

If you think the Hotel tower is massive, wait till you see the Office one on the other side of the mall. I saw a bigger render in a magazine, and that thing is fat huge.

when do u recon the complex will be completed?

yeauch, I hate these slab-shaped towers.

^^ I'm sure someone will pop up and ask: "Malec just curious, why do you hate such design (from this XYZ Architect)?"


:D

"The development includes studios, one-, two, three and four-bedroom apartments and penthouses ranging from 540 to 3,995 sq ft in size."

Does anyone know the prices of these. Not that I am going to buy, but I like the idea that there are 2,8 metres to the ceiling in the rooms... :)

yeauch, I hate these slab-shaped towers.

I agree, they're absolutely HIDEOUS!:down: :down: :down:

http://i17.tinypic.com/4v3pztg.jpg

thanks krazy for the alert. i just registered online for a studio. if i get one, i owe you a drink!!!

does anyone know how the numbers work! for example, if my number is XXXX-280, does that mean that there are 280 people ahead of me in line for studios!

yes I think, but difficult to buy a studio there ,I think they sold all before the launch.

is Emaar's system that corrupt! I talked to a sales agent i know after i registered, she said they don't even know the prices and can't access the pre-registration database, all in the name of giving equal opportunity to all. hope you are wrong!

yes, you can make a registration only once , how possible that somebody advertising 20 studios in the Dubai Mall Hotel now??

my calculations show that there are at least 154 studios in the mall.

any idea about the prices ?

I would say 1200-1400 dhs/sqft.

ahh , maybe more because of this:

"All residences will have modern appliances such as Plasma TV set with DVD player, hi-speed Internet access, modern telecom facilities and a range of kitchen appliances including integrated refrigerators, washing machine and dryer, dishwashers and microwave ovens."

that would be too much! if they are going to be fair, it should be around 1000 dhs/sgft.

do you know how the process works. you go before 9am with your number and wait until they call it, or is first come first serve for those who have pre-registered numbers!

I have no idea.

Emaar's apartments come with kitchen appliances in the marina, but washing machine and dryer, microwave ovens, and Plasma TV set with DVD player is an addition i guess you get when you buy serviced apartments. but that would not justify a big hike in the price. all in all, they would cost less than 20k.

Floor plans are the worse I have seen for a long time :ohno:

Have a look at the three bedded room unit 12 :bash:

http://www.emaar.com/Developments/DubaiMarina/marina_mall_hotel/Index.asp

yeh, it reminds of victorian houses in san francicso, long corridors with bedrooms/living rooms lined up one after the other. but the layout is perfect for studios!!

Take a sleeping bag and sleep outside their office, for a week if you want a studio.

They have been happy in the past to deal through their agent here in the UK, I was wondering if they would accept the same as long as I have a reservation no.:dunno:

will sure do. what number did you get!

I got late 500's for a 1 bed.... If i knew what the price per sqft is going to be i would risk flying out...

AltTab

I think more than the per sq ft price, you guys shud be concerned about the maintenance fee... would you be willing to pay something as ridiculous as Burj Dubai Lake Hotel's maintenance fee (Dhs 30/sq ft) ?

I think more than the per sq ft price, you guys shud be concerned about the maintenance fee... would you be willing to pay something as ridiculous as Burj Dubai Lake Hotel's maintenance fee (Dhs 30/sq ft) ?

It is a nice place to live, especially in 5 to 7 years.

The fees will have to be comparable to what is in the Marina already as it is the same master development (Approx AED15/sqft) but I could be wrong.

For the right apartment AED1200/sqft is a very good buy.

^^ forget about it... it's going to be much higher than the marina average because it is a 5-star serviced apartment not just any apartment.. and the facilities of marina mall are insanely luxurious not to forget the huge shopping mall

Emaar's apartments come with kitchen appliances in the marina, but washing machine and dryer, microwave ovens, and Plasma TV set with DVD player is an addition i guess you get when you buy serviced apartments. but that would not justify a big hike in the price. all in all, they would cost less than 20k.

Actually washing machine/ dryer (combo) and microwave ovens are included along with oven, fridge and dishwasher. The thing new is Plasma TV and DVD which you can buy for AED 6000 or so.

^^ forget about it... it's going to be much higher than the marina average because it is a 5-star serviced apartment not just any apartment.. and the facilities of marina mall are insanely luxurious not to forget the huge shopping mall

which will guarantee you almost 100% occupancy rate if you want to rent out as hotel room/short term let! you pay more, but get more in return! you also don't have to worry about any downturn in the real estates market in the future, nor would you have to deal with the 6-month restriction on short term lets!

Actually washing machine/ dryer (combo) and microwave ovens are included along with oven, fridge and dishwasher. The thing new is Plasma TV and DVD which you can buy for AED 6000 or so.

my al-sahab apartment did not come with washing machine/ dryer (combo) and microwave oven.

^^ Marina Promenade comes with complete appliance collection, including oven, refrigerator dishwasher and washer / dryer. Same is true about Old Town. Cuts your furnishing expenses significantly.

^^ ur half right! new emaar developments in the marina (park island is one) do come with washer / dryer, but not microwave oven! al-sahab did not.

^^ And a MWO is a HUGE expense right? :D

^^ Who cares about the damn MWO? It's a MWO for Gods sake! You'd hardly compare it to the price of your apartment now would ya?:2cents:

You guys crack me up:lol: :nuts: :weird: :laugh:

Registration closed yesterday afternoon with only 400 apartments i guess most of these will be gone before the second session even gets under way at 1pm.

You need a registration number below 300 to be there for the first session at 9am.

AltTab

^^ It is not necessary that everyone who registers also buys. Many buyers could get turned off by the prices.

my number is low 200s in the morning. i just called the sales agent i know at emaar to find out the prices. she said she will call me back. am also worried about the prices!!

Those days when you could register, stand in line all night and get low original prices are gone........Due to whatever reason prices are high even for those buildings that will take 2 years to complete. In fact you could buy ready or almost complete units cheaper in the secondary market than the developers price for off-plan projects.

Also not everything sells like hot cake. If it was so, why would you see adds for some projects day after day for months. Every few weeks a new project or building is coming out. So even if you get late to register, or fail to get what you desire.... just wait a few weeks and you will find something new and exciting.

true, will be interesting to see what happens with the prices though when all the plots in the marina have been sold. Will this mean good serious growth as there will not be any more off plan projects in the marina or maybe people will look elsewhere. Will be very interesting to see what prices are in 5 years. 2000 Dhs per sq ft ????

I just heard about studio price is 1.5 million dhs..

so the prices are indeed approximately 2,000 DHS/SQ FT

Most of the Studios are 500 sqft, does'nt that make it 3000 AED per sqft?

Maybe try and find something in Marina Promenande...

just talked to my sales agent. it will be around 2,000 dhs/sqft. studios starting around 1.4m, 1beds 2m.

i guess i don't have to wake up at 7 am on a saturday now to go and get choked by these prices. but this is good news for the marina, it will give a boast to property prices!

Most of the Studios are 500 sqft, does'nt that make it 3000 AED per sqft?

Maybe try and find something in Marina Promenande...

also check Park Island!

did you guys find out about the annual maintenance fees?

Sorry Alt-Tab, I thought the studios were around 800 sq ft... but if they are 500 sq then indeed that's Dhs 3K/sq ft :eek:

smallest studio 540 sqft

isn't 3000 Dhs/sq ft cheaper than or close to the prices in Burj Dubai?

^^ Marina Promenade comes with complete appliance collection, including oven, refrigerator dishwasher and washer / dryer. Same is true about Old Town. Cuts your furnishing expenses significantly.

The cost of furnishing is not the cost at all. Better to have proper concrete construction that does not microcrack the day of handover and worry about furnishings later. I do not understand that people are so blind to construction quality when they are offered an lcd tv and dvd player. :ohno:

For furnishings ask Gael, she has a shop in dubai and helped her make a web page on: http://tinyurl.com/2ppbd6

Some people complain about the price of furnishing an apartment but considering the cost of the property it is only a minor expense. Construction quality (or the lack thereof: http://tinyurl.com/yof8ga ) is the most important aspect of your Dubai home! Forget the nintendo, focus on the bricks!

These will sell, and it will make all of us very happy with the prices we paid 2 years ago.

Looking at the prices quoted for this building, I dont think you have to wait 5 years.

just talked to my sales agent. it will be around 2,000 dhs/sqft. studios starting around 1.4m, 1beds 2m.

i guess i don't have to wake up at 7 am on a saturday now to go and get choked by these prices. but this is good news for the marina, it will give a boast to property prices!

dubai officials keep saying to the effect that the marina when completed will be unparalleled in the region and one of the best in the world!!

The dream is starting to happen and the Marina starting to take shape. Every hoilday maker who lays eyes on it will want some of it. I predict prices are in for a strong growth period now and am very glad I bought something 2 years agao when it was just a patch of dirt. Its going to be great.

When I was on holidays in Dubai, long ago....February this year.
I visited Marina, liked it and had to buy, so visited Emaar offices, about 9am.
There were other Europeans there, doing what I was. And I over heard one say, he is buying on behalf of clients and only wanted Marina.
He flew over from (???) and bought 5 apartments.

You're absolutely right of course! :yes: When completed Dubai Marina will be one of the most prestigious addresses in the world! Everyone wants a piece of the Marina, and you can't blame them can ya? It sure is beautiful...:)

Not to mention Palm Jumeirah...:master: :master: :master:

just called the Emaar , all studios sold out , price started 1.5 million.

1 beds are still available , from 2.3 million...

expensive I think, for 1.5 million I can buy 2 studios in Marina Diamonds , with 75K/year returns each , I doubt that Marina Mall studios will be doing 150K/year.

Only thing to keep in mind is that you cant really compare a 5 Star Serviced apartment unit by Emaar with a 'Diamond' :) unit

I just compared like an investor:)

^^ agree. as an investment, there are much better deals out there. but when it comes to status and prestige, the mall comes ahead.

that's why i was a no show today, even though i had a low 200 number in the morning. investment wise, there are better options around.

very very .. massive ....

Nice to see Emaar have adopted the Standard Chartered method of selling.

Hello,

this is my second post on this forum and boy am i glad that i found it.
I was at Emaar yesterday for the launch of the serviced apartments they had.
We ended buying 2 1beds for 2.5mil each. Pretty expensive. But im pretty sure it is going to be well manged and pay good rent.

While i was there i met a couple of agents who were offering a bunch of sold out studio apartments. They claimed that they were able to get them because they got "connections", but i really doubt that. I always though it was first come first serve at The Emaar Launches, could this be nothing more than a fallacy? :cheers1:

:bash: I could have got a 1 bedded room apartment also without leaving our house, very dodgy :bash: :ohno:

I thought you could not re-sell any Emaar property until you have paid the second payment !

Did anyone else notice the "ghost" in Imre's picture? It looks like a woman with her helt tilted upwards with long hair or wearing a shawl.

^^ Do you mean the window cleaning fairy :)

That's Mackie Avatar

^^ No, that's Saint Mary.

Maybe Imre should put this on e-Bay. I'm sure some American will pay a couple of thousands dollars to have the picture.

:lol: :lol:

I have no ebay account, if somebody can put there we share the money:)

It's the Maddona with the big boobies,.
