KM Properties unveils creekside B2B Tower
[Saturday, June 10, 2006 2:19:00 pm]


KM Properties, part of the Knowledge Management Group, has announced its latest creek-side high quality freehold office tower in the city’s upcoming district, Business Bay. The 19-storey B2B Tower will be completed in October 2008.

The striking blue-grey tower has been designed by leading international architect Carlos Ott, and is a contemporary fusion of glass and chrome. Ott has a track-record for designing landmark buildings, including L’Opera de la Bastille and National Bank of Dubai’s headquarters on Dubai Creek.

The construction will be carried out by Al Rostamani Pegel LLC, a member of the Al Rostamani Group of Companies. The company was created in partnership with the Berlin-based firm Gustav Pegel & Sohn.

Pre-launch demand has already been significant, with a high-profile US-based multinational corporation already securing office space for its regional head office.
Multi-option, investor-tailored financing is being offered by KM Properties.

Thanks to the innovative curved design, the building offers varying views, which will look over Burj Dubai and Dubai’s downtown business district, which runs from the city’s arterial highway, Sheikh Zayed Road, alongside the new creek from Ras Al Khor.

B2B Tower will be equipped with technological innovations including security, office automation, satellite communications, and bespoke lighting systems.

now that"s hot! :D

^^ Face, B2B means "Business To Business" and is a term refering to subscription based Internet portals, connecting businesses (companies) and allowing them to exchange data, information, goods and services.

For example, Tejari.com is a B2B platform.

well they are also part of a large group.

but that is a little bit pointless, don't u think...
well, they failed with Park Square, it was probably not their fault...
but the rest... it is not the only tower which hasn't started construction ;)

i guess the island is not highlighted but it just looks like that in the map, maybe a park.

B2B TOWER INSPIRATION

http://img104.imageshack.us/img104/9936/b2btower9kr.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

A prime blue diamond tulip tints the heart of Business Bay in downtown Dubai.

A stupendous spray of long pointed leaves and inward silky-mauve curving petals rushes to greet the sky. Nineteen storeys of offices are embodied between unfolding ethereal blue glass petals, detached by transparent glass and a powerful silver pistil.

An extraordinary example of contemporary architecture prospers from a calyxlike podium with several splits. The sepals arise dynamically enclosing the bewildering promenade along the covered walkway that surrounds the retail area.

The structure, thus, is composed of a podium that contains a retail floor, two
parking levels and a technical floor; and nineteen flexible office storey that indulge tenants with breathtaking views. Highly efficient, with multiple corners
and possibilities, the office layouts are able to serve either multiple or single
tenants.

Superb innovation is accomplished with rigorous symmetry. The result is impressive and yet bears the delicacy of a flower. The iconic blue diamond tulip blossoms in the day colours of Dubai’s Business Bay, and glows, flaring like a potent bright flame during the nights.

B2B Tower is a small tower, and according to the history of Al-Rostamani Pegel, I dunt think that it is not possible for them to put a guaranttee. They never delayed any project. Any developer can guarantee the completion date after receving the land and signing the contract and getting the approval because the contracting compant itself gives a guarantee and a penalty payment if they didnt meet the completion date.

KM Properties launches new scheme to ensure higher-than-market rates

KM Properties (KMP), the property arm of Dubai-based Knowledge Management Group (KMG), is backing up its confidence in B2B Tower as a 'landmark' in Dubai's Business Bay neighbourhood by offering real estate investors and potential B2B Tower tenants an unprecedented 59 per cent ROI when buying units.

http://www.ameinfo.com/images/news/7/26477-B2BTowerKMProperties.jpg
B2B Tower.

B2B Tower is KMP's latest high-tech, creek-side freehold development. It is earmarked for completion in October 2008.

A KMP spokesperson said, 'This is a remarkable offer given that currently 10-15 per cent is the average return rate for investors who build or buy properties for leasing in Dubai.

'This unique-to-KMP scheme ensures a high return on investment for owners who hold on to their B2B Tower investment for five years from the date of ownership.'

He explained that in current market conditions, the value of the monthly installment paid will be less than the current rent of the same floor space, thus generating higher returns in the longer term.

The 'striking' blue-grey B2B tower - determined by the fusion of contemporary glass and chrome materials - is designed by leading international architect, Carlos Ott. Ott has a solid track-record for designing landmark buildings, including L'Opera de la Bastille and National Bank of Dubai's headquarters on Dubai Creek.

Construction will be carried out by Al Rostamani Pegel LLC, a member of the Al Rostamani Group of Companies, in partnership with the Berlin-based firm, Gustav Pegel & Sohn.

Other KMP developments include Park Lane Tower, the region's first mixed-use commercial-residential-retail tower in Dubai also situated in Business Bay, and El Matador, close to the Emirates - Al Khail road intersection, comprising more than 40 floors and offering loft accommodation.

I think they are relaunching it -if its true- and increasing the prices because 1. their initial calculations were wrong and they cannot cover their own costs and/or 2. they see what rate they can get today (see Launch BurjV, prices there were ridiculous as well) and they become greedy now 3. general shortages linked to price increases have forced them to do so -kind of point 1 again...

Summarising no escrow account and your point (1) do you not think (4) applies too.:bash:

Last week RERA (Dubai Land Department) told me that there is NO escrow account. I know that they have sold same office twice.

RERA TOLD ME: Do not give them money direct! Pay only to escrow account. :badnews:

You should all inform RERA if you have paid something direct to them already.

RERA:

When buying "off-the-plan" only pay into a RERA approved trust account. The cheque and receipt must read in the name of the project. If you pay your monies into the developer, agent, or any other account, the person or company you are dealing with is breaking the law. Have you paid direct to KM Properties?

KM Properties unveils creekside B2B Tower
[Saturday, June 10, 2006 2:19:00 pm]


KM Properties, part of the Knowledge Management Group, has announced its latest creek-side high quality freehold office tower in the city’s upcoming district, Business Bay. The 19-storey B2B Tower will be completed in October 2008.

The striking blue-grey tower has been designed by leading international architect Carlos Ott, and is a contemporary fusion of glass and chrome. Ott has a track-record for designing landmark buildings, including L’Opera de la Bastille and National Bank of Dubai’s headquarters on Dubai Creek.

The construction will be carried out by Al Rostamani Pegel LLC, a member of the Al Rostamani Group of Companies. The company was created in partnership with the Berlin-based firm Gustav Pegel & Sohn.

Pre-launch demand has already been significant, with a high-profile US-based multinational corporation already securing office space for its regional head office.
Multi-option, investor-tailored financing is being offered by KM Properties.

Thanks to the innovative curved design, the building offers varying views, which will look over Burj Dubai and Dubai’s downtown business district, which runs from the city’s arterial highway, Sheikh Zayed Road, alongside the new creek from Ras Al Khor.

B2B Tower will be equipped with technological innovations including security, office automation, satellite communications, and bespoke lighting systems.

Dubai: The new free legal service to support people embroiled in real estate-related court cases has emerged as a fair way to protect the interests of Dubai's real estate community.
"The objective of this initiative is not merely to meet a need but to ensure fairness and justice is available to anyone who might have a concern involving property, no matter what the circumstances are," Mohammad Sultan Thani, assistant director general of the Land Department, told Gulf News.
The free legal advice now means no one is prevented from pursuing their rights merely because of the possibility they might be priced out of the system.

I think we have to contact lawyer. I have already been in RERA and they said that we can cancel our contract because of the delay. KM Properties promised that the building is ready on the first half of 2009. Talking with KM Properties is waste of time.

^^A separate safe and secure forum need to set up with all the investors on board. Someone has to lead us to agree to an action plan and then invite a legal firm to represent us.
A debate among all the investors is required instantly in order to reach to a common goal with which we can proceed amicably.
Among other things contribution towards the legal fees and indentifying the Dubai based investors needs to be discussed, which will lead to an action committee, etc etc.
Lets start discussion on a positive note in a secure forum (admin needed)...

I had called mangesh yesterday, but did not answer as usual! then I contacted Sara falcon who assured me that the project is going on schedule!! (sure)!
I don't know if you have this B2b development plan that is approved by Rera that was faxed to me.

- September 2009: B1 basement
- December 2009: Ground floor
- March 2010: 4th floor
- September 2010: 11th floor
- November 2010: completion

So far, I think they are already late by a month or two according to this plan. (not mentioning the 2008 guaranteed delivery)

Some information: I do have the new contract, with modified office size. And unfortunately I have already paid 80% according to the old payment schedule (30% cash and 50% from amlak).

This law would impose financial penalties on developers who delivered properties late and also give investors a refund or replacement if the delivered property was defective.

It would also outline grounds for cancellation of the contract by the investor - for example, the refusal of the developer to link purchase payments to construction milestones or if the developer makes material changes to the specifications of the property.

Dale told 7DAYS this law was a priority for the Land Department and Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA).

“We’ve had Law No. 13 which enabled the developer to terminate and then Law No. 9 which clarified what the developer was entitled to if he did terminate. “And on the other side of the coin you’ve obviously got purchasers and clarity on their rights to terminate if there’s a problem with the developer, and that issue is particularly important for them I think,” she said.

After almost half a year....... once again received "Payment reminder" from K.M.Properties for B2B. I already paid 90% which started from 2006 ! As per revised unit size, price & SPA there are 5% payment due on 1st March'2010. The rest & final 5% upon completion. :wallbash:

“We also advise them to group together with other investors; then they can have more leverage and the developer loses the argument that they’re a delinquent investor and everyone else is paying. They become a more noticeable force.”

Business Bay to be new business capital of Dubai

KM properties CEO believes this is the new place to be

By Aya Lowe, Staff Reporter
Published: 00:00 March 19, 2010

Dubai : With buildings due to be completed and handed over in the next two years, Business Bay is set to be Dubai's new business hub, according to Sanjeet Joher, group chief executive officer of KM Properties.

"Once Business Bay is done, you'll have the global focus changing towards that area. Business Bay is a prime epicentre for Dubai. All the tourist centres, businesses and authorities are focusing on Business Bay," Joher told Gulf News.

Business Bay is a 5.85 million square metre development featuring a mixture of office and residential towers. The freehold development located next to Shaikh Zayed road and Downtown Burj Khalifa area, aims to be the region's business capital once complete.

The infrastructure, prices and lack of taxes are some of the incentives that will attract new businesses to setting up shop in the area. According to Joher, the natural shift of Dubai's centre will occur as established commercial areas become full.

Relocation

"We see a trend that everyone working in the Deira, Bur Dubai area will be looking to relocate to Business Bay in the future as the area becomes over saturated. There's already a huge demand for Business Bay," says Joher.

KM Property currently has three buildings under construction in Business Bay, Tamani Hotel at Park Lane Office Tower, B2B Office Tower and Tamani Arts Offices all at various stages of construction.

The buildings are set to be completed in the next year and a half to two years to coincide with the completion of infrastructure in the Business Bay development.

"The infrastructure in Business Bay is being built in phases. The chillers, electricity, water, etc will fall in place and be finished at the same time as the handing of our projects. We are working closely with infrastructure authorities, RERA and the Land Department to ensure our clients get the product at the right time with all the facilities," says Joher.

Dear Admin,

It's BlueBath again. On 8th Dec'10, I received an warning letter related to KM GROUP management issues which i received by email.

On 9th Dec'10 I got another correction & denial email from KM GROUP through different email ID.

After receiving such contradictory emails from the higher management of KM GROUP, I immediately deleted this warning letter to avoid further confusion. I'm ready to pass both the emails for your consideration ( if needed ).

Sorry for any inconvenience caused by me. I have nothiing to do and no relation of that letter whatsoever.
