Marina Mall, Hotel

IMO these buildings are the fastest under construction in Dubai at the moment - at 11am this morning (on a Friday) there was literally hundreds of workers on site.......albeit going on a tea break but nevertheless......

This is good for the Marina in general and perhaps they are throwing workers at it because of a directive from Alabbar himself to get it finished quickly - the Marina needs it.

they are using precast panels thats why the Marina Plaza will be very fast as well.

work work work finish !!!

Imre I always look forward to your amazing updates. Great job once again!

Are Dubai Marina Mall Hotel and Serviced Residences, going to managed by the hotel / Emaar?

If so is there a guarantee rent returns for buyers?

Has anyone bought here?

I just counted 50 floors on this monster! :nuts:

super fast on this one. the hotel is topped out today! late summer opening for the mall is very likely!

^^ I think that is very optimistic.

Tremendous speed here indeed :) This is how to do it!

Your so posh. Only the best will do for you :) No Tesco or Asda huh :lol:

^^ Similarly here: Some people prefer to go to Spinneys and not to others like Choitram, Al Madina or Union-Coop Supermarket.

That is good news. ^^

Why? Waitrose is new brand for me. Is it better than Spinneys?

Waitrose is considered one of the highest quality supermarkets in the UK.

Very nice. :banana:

Your so posh. Only the best will do for you :) No Tesco or Asda huh :lol:

LOL, Why you say so? :) I don't consider myself to be really posh ... I guess I just have very expensive taste. I've worked hard for what I have so when I splash out I like to treat myself. :) Just because I like to buy my confectioneries from Harrods in Knightsbridge, London doesn't make me posh ok! ;) :lol:

Tesco and Sainsbury's are alright but Asda are out! Had a bad experience with them once so they can kiss my ass! :lol:

Are Tesco and Sainsbury's in Dubai also? Are Waitrose going to be the main anchor/supermarket at Marina Mall?

I'm happy to here this ... thank U :) Quality is very important [IMO]

That sign with all the information is quite interesting, never knew that they had such things at construction sites here, or is it only Emaar?

They also had one at the Torch but I haven't seen any pictures of it for a while.

most of site have a same board, sometimes inside of the plot or in the offices.

Found this at bhomes.com:

^^ Great pic FWIW. Blurry, but still, it gives us an excellent birds eye view of the massive scale of construction going on down there.

Has Marina Quays topped out there on the opposite side of the Marina? What a fantastic location this building (MQ) has!

Marina Mall looks incredible! :)

Question: How does Marina Mall compare in size to lets say Mall of the Emirates or Ibn-E-Battuta when measured in Retail space or number of outlets?

Full report here: http://www.retailme.com/?2/4/2008/706/news-middle-east/dubai-marina-mall-progressing

The Dubai Marina Mall will be the shopping and lifestyle component for residents and visitors at the Dubai Marina, the first of its kind master-planned waterfront development in the region by Emaar, with an estimated population of 75,000. Dubai Marina Mall will have 390,000 sqft of gross leasable area with over 160 stores offering a retail mix of shopping, dining and entertainment options.

MOE - from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mall_of_the_Emirates
Mall of the Emirates contains approximately 2,400,000 square feet (223,000 m²) of shops and the entire mall forms a total of approximately 6.5 million square feet.

So in summary MOE is much bigger!

easily enough for this location if u ask me.

Let's put it another way - on my doorstep I can shop at Dubai Marina Mall; and with a short drive I could go to MOE and maybe go snow boarding too!!!

Why do we need a mall bigger than MOE at DM?

With this, the Marina Arcade, Marina Walk, JBR's Walk, individual outlets within various towers and my DVD lady who comes to visit last thursday of every month, I'm pretty much happy with Dubai Marina's retail offerings to spend my hard earned cash on. :D

Steve if you're having 'size' issues :), then have a look at Dubai Mall:
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubai_Mall

It will cover a total area of 12.1 million ft² [1], with 10 - 15 individual smaller malls built inside it, consisting of 9 million ft² of shopping retail space (comprising of a total of 1200 stores).

^^ That should keep my wife busy for a while :) and I can go and look at the fishes in the aquarium to get some peace.

Emaar’s rentals to form 15% revenue

http://www.gowealthy.com/images/news/news_3593_2_24.jpg

Profits of malls to be operational soon will reflect in future financials
Emaar Properties, Dubai's leading real estate developer expects the rental income from hotels and malls to contribute 15% of the total revenue of the company by 2010, by which time projects such as Dubai Mall, Dubai Marina Mall and a series of hospitality projects undertaken by the company will have been completed, the management team said.

The representatives of the Emaar management team explained that the profits from rentals are likely to contribute about 5% to the 2008 profits. Emaar, which is focused more on the emerging markets, has bigger plans for these markets. "There is a six-fold increase in international launches in 2008 - from 3,500 in 2007 to 20,000 units in 2008. This will result in greater marketing costs, which cannot be capitalised and will obviously be charged as expenses, whereas the revenues will be generated later," they explained. By 2010, the company anticipates that the contributions of international operations will constitute 70% of the total revenue.

I am not sure but I think it should be around 50 floors.

Wow 50 floors would be great!!! :omg:

Maybe Imre can find out!! Nothing on the board?? Maybe workers can tell you!!

^^ Why don't you count them? It will not be difficult and the result will be the correct one.

OK, someone spoke too soon, coz 1600 constructions workers went on strike last week, because PIC told them their salaries would be cut from $230 to $122 per month, and the difference put into a "deposit account" on their behalf... so they downed tools and blocked lanes on SZR near Ibn Batutta Mall. The company then agreed not to cut the salaries, and promised an increase of $40 per month, which is still to see the light of day.

Expect more soon...

More power to the workers. It's amazing what power can be asserted just by blocking SZR. In other places workers might have to strike a week before management caved in. What a goof up on the company's part. Insane that they would try to sequester half of the workers' pay.

^^ be the usual list of top restaurants...including mcdonalds..

Real high roller huh ;)

As long as there is lamb on the menu I don't give a toss who's on the list :D

But yea, expect all the top restaurants / names here at Gourmet Tower :)

Please edit the title with 38 floors. Thx

^^ Nothing to be added on the title. This is for the entire project not just the hotel/residential tower ... plus the Penthouse being on the 38th floor, doesn't mean anything on relation to the overall number of floors.

Fantastic shot!

btw this is topped out isn't it?

^^ Yes, but The Plazza is just some 4 - 5 floors above ground currently.

nice shot steve :)

was at the sales office saturday. they said all apartments at the marina hotel are sold out. the only thing they have available is the office space.

this bodes really well for the whole marina giving how pricey the hotel apartments were!

^^ I always find fishy such claims. :ohno:


I saw the model of The Lagoons displayed on Emirates Towers's Boulvard and there were these "Sold Out" red flags all around the development. That is a total BS! How can 60% of the buildings be sold when not more then 10 - 20% of them have been launched in the market, to begin with?

And then there is this other developer who is filling the town with billboards, as well as the printed media, about a tower of them somewhere (probably Jebel Ali Downtown) that is sold-out in pre-launch. I'm sorry but in my books you advertise a product that you have to sell, not something already gone.

then your task is simple. call emaar and double check. even if they have some units left, the fact that they are not selling them at current prices means emaar is confident they will get a higher price later on. either way, it's good for prices in the marina!

BTW, the rep said the units were sold out after their last sale campaign, a couple of weeks ago or so. she also said that they don't have any residential units for sale in the marina anymore! i have no reason to doubt what she said because i bought from here before!

One theory

Sorry Mr. Cheong, but I had to do it.

OT- What was the technique used for that shot? It's breathtaking

Is maintenance fee (incl. cc) is set at 25 dhs/sqf over by MP, I wonder what a serviced apartment at MM will be?

^^ I always find fishy such claims. :ohno:


I saw the model of The Lagoons displayed on Emirates Towers's Boulvard and there were these "Sold Out" red flags all around the development. That is a total BS! How can 60% of the buildings be sold when not more then 10 - 20% of them have been launched in the market, to begin with?

And then there is this other developer who is filling the town with billboards, as well as the printed media, about a tower of them somewhere (probably Jebel Ali Downtown) that is sold-out in pre-launch. I'm sorry but in my books you advertise a product that you have to sell, not something already gone.

^^
Altin, did you see this recently? The one I saw a couple of months ago had 3 red flags indicating the 3 buildings Laylak, Abeer & another which had indeed been sold out.

^^ Whatever the case, this is how it should have been all along:

Sorry Mr. Cheong, but I had to do it.

AltinD - How did you undo his handy work? Amazing stuff - Your picture is even better than Mr.Cheong's work! It is now my desktop picture!

Thanks very much!:cheers:

look at marina plaza thats quite amazing the speed it has risen; overall this is a greatly designed development, interesting shapes and features

M2 - which floor of Quay West did you take this from? Interested to know, because I have an 05 apt which I'd guess is the corner where you took this from (corner facing the Mall and down the marina to Phase 1)?

Jodbar - the picture was taken from the 2005 balcony. Congratulations on the choice, the best 2br apartment in Quay West no doubt. Great terrace with amazing views, specially if you are above 15th level

:cheers:

... overall this is a greatly designed development, interesting shapes and features

Are you complimenting DPA? That would be blasphemous. :ohno:











:D ;)

Thanks M2. Yes I reckoned it was probably a good choice (2205) - thanks for confirming!

lol whats DPA
Are you complimenting DPA? That would be blasphemous. :ohno:











:D ;)

^^ The Singaporean Architects of the complex (same ones as for the Dubai Mall). :D

This shouldnt be a far walk from JLT ? When is complition ? This is where I will most likely eat at a reasonable price, instead of paying a fortune for food at the hotels when Im at marina

^^ If you think the food there will be cheaper then in nearby Hotel restaurants, you'd be for a biiiiig disappointment.

Unless you go to the food court instead of the Gourment tower :D

I am sure you will need a second mortgage to eat in the Gourment tower restaurants.

The waterfront cafes should be quite trendy hopefully.

Is the structure of the mall basically done? because the main building looks topped out and the other parts look completed too.

^^ Yes it is, the main structural work is completed in the Mall, the parking behind it, the gourmet tower and of course the hotel/residence tower. Work on the commercial tower is progressing well and close to 10 floors have been completed so far.

Oh well, I guess I'll just be chilling on the beach eating hotel food as always.
Will the mall at least have movie theaters ?


^^ If you think the food there will be cheaper then in nearby Hotel restaurants, you'd be for a biiiiig disappointment.

Yes there will be Movie theatres in the mall. Emaar created a J/V with a Singaporian company who owns and operates movie theatres in SG and the surrounding SE Asian countries.

@Woozy... yep the structure has been completed except for the crown in goumet tower and hotel apartment tower.

the office tower will be rising fast ... if there's no problem

i thought the mall supposed to open soon rite?

This brilliant. Really brilliant. Very brilliant for my rather unique "dangle the salesman upside down out of the window" technique, which as been known to increase output and revenues by up to 40% per month. Now I don't have to worry about certain "accidental problems" I encountered when I tried my methods from the 34th floor of Canary Wharf, London. :D

^^

4000 dhm sqf?

3 Floor of offices each floor is 2 offices already sold out today in events.
Floor 4 will be full floor and one office.
from 5100 AED per sq ft

^^

I was optimist!:eek2:

its looking good but if they really wanted it to be a success it should have been open by now, by opening it along side the dubai mall it would go competly unnoticed.

^^ Totally unrelated.

^^ Totally unrelated.

^^I agree, this mall caters to DM, JBR and JLT residents. There will be enough of them to make this mall a success + you won't need to hit the hideous traffic on SZR to go there.

^^

4000 dhm sqf?

Is this the first time they are releasing units in there? If not, how much did they originally go for?

^^ Those are the only offices available in that building. The rest are hotel rooms and apartments.

However there is another office tower under construction, on the other side of the complex.

Construction progress as of 09 May 08

Anyone know when the latest expected opening date is for the mall ?

will the mall open up before the hotel, cause the building looks like it needs alot more time to complete.

Anyone know when the latest expected opening date is for the mall ?

I heard that handover for the retailers fitout is due in Sept. Could it be ready for the shopping festival, that is the question.

^^ I think it is realistic to expect the mall partially open for the Shopping Festival.

BTW since the Mall will have a Spinneys supermarket (under that high-end UK chain's name with whom they tied-up recently), the one near my home has been converted recently to 24h non-stop operation. It used to be up to midnight before.

Thats good news with Spinneys .. This end here at Marina does lack a proper supermarket ..

Is there a list of facilities, shops, restaurants, etc out there yet? Or where do you guys get the info from?

Emaar Properties unveils Dubai Marina Mall complex
Dubai, UAE, June 3, 2007: 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.

:okay:PAULDELVES thanks for a great picture.
My only grievance is why everybody always face camera more to left and missed Silverene plot altogether. :rant:

Good question, Jeetha. BTW, do you know to what extent (and/or up to what floors of) Silverene tower B will the Gourmet tower affect Silverene's view of the water?

I am asking because I never saw Silverene models.

Jeetha - thanks - But nothing to see at Silverene except big hole - I did have some of big excavation hole at BAY CENTRAL - not very interesting

Gourmet tower will make you hungry all the time but will not affect Silverene's view of the water at all.
It’s not in front of Silverene, it’s on the side.

Jeetha - thanks - But nothing to see at Silverene except big hole - I did have some of big excavation hole at BAY CENTRAL - not very interesting

Just as well no one is posting pictures of it, will only make me miserable.

Jeetha, Pl see my PM to you.

Just as well no one is posting pictures of it, will only make me miserable.
Jeetha - Don't worry lots of work going on there though and if it's a good as The Jewels will be worth waiting for

Any new update on the mall's progress?

why no one is putting new images

I don't have any pictures, but passing it everyday. The Gourmet tower is starting to look "finished". The Mall itself is actually also looking quite nice and process is going in the right direction.

Any idea when it will open?

The shops inside will be done in December this year. Maybe it will open for the christmas sale.

That seems quite optimistic to be honest.

But the restaurant tower is coming along nicely.
