amir007 - c4v003 is ready and presently they are putting the roof tiles and the inside tiles in the kitchen and bathroom. a/c ducting is also on. I suspect in 2-3mths it will be painted and fully ready. this is status of all houses in this and next row. i am guessing hence it has to be a handover in Q3 or q4 this year if this pace of work goes on. its phase 2a incidentially.

Good Day JP's ... Now that things are looking good in Jumeirah Park and villas are beeing completed and near handover.. Any information about the service charges? and if there will be a district cooling for the project and which company that will be?

Thx

venky1; I have no idea about the status of my villa, and I will appreciate your help to know the status. My villa no. is JPO3VLXXX

Good Day,
Does any1 know if there will be a distrect cooling in Jumeirah Park and if yes which company will it be?


thx

Guess it will be Palm District Cooling. Same as for Jumeirah Islands, JLT etc.

Venky1

Hi Venky1, any idea if villas in District F3VL will be built in front of Meadows 9? Thank you.

Guess it will be Palm District Cooling. Same as for Jumeirah Islands, JLT etc.

VERY BAD NEWS!!!:ohno:

PDC are charging too much!

Hi Venky

Thanks for your efforts on keeping us posted on progress. Do you know anything about JPA3VSXXX? What phase and current status.

In a previous message I saw details that a credit note consolidation will result in Nakheel providing a new contract with new clauses and will weaken our stand for compensation claim..do you or anyone have any views about this?

We are currently considering purchasing a credit note to adjust and reduce the cost that has incurred due to profit during construction.

Appreciate your thoughts

Regards

Hi all, delighted to have found this forum, finally some real information.

Would really appreciate any details on phase, current progress and likely completion of JPB3VLxxx

I went to Jumeirak park site yesterday and I took some pictures but I don't know how to upload them in the website.

Golucky200 - District F in front of meadows 9 is now called package 7 and is not being developed. If you still have something there suggest immediately ask nakheel for a swap. It was meant to be a single row of 3bed large legacy but is now stopped - no work there for at least 12 months

JPavsowner - A3vs i was not able to access but from what i can see from far it seems to be progressing (somehouses have a roof and some dont). Credit note makes sence except lots of risks you need to know well before you execute. Main issue is buying for a large ticket buyer and hence a very long delay in it reflecting in your account as nakheel waits for the note to be fully sold sometimes and there is a vague committee who approves all consolidation cases and in rare cases has declined.

Hi i have a 4 B/R villa (JPK4V031), any idea on expected date of handover

Hi does anyone have any idea of what the progress of JPM3VSXXX villa is? I am a little concerened as some family memebers went over to Dubai recently and told me that there is nothing there at all just mounds of sand. I am a bit confused as if I look at google maps then it shows that there is a structure in place, I am getting no response from Nakheel and have no idea what is going on. if anyone could provide any information I would be grateful.

HI Venky can you advice regarding JPBV range.....thanks for your help in advance...

Hello guys
i just joined the forum.....
unfortunately we are all on the same boat with ......nakheel
does anybody know about JPD3VS completion date????

I am following this forum for about months now and only today i knew how to join it.
i can tell you (people who are living abroad) what i know as i am visiting dubai every 3 months....

1/ i visited the site in june 2010. i can tell you guys it was like a dead town. no workers, nothing going on at all, only security people....it seems that nakheel actually stopped the construction the whole year 2010 but of course they have not informed anybody
i was in front of my villa in cluster D and i assesed it was around 45 % completed only

2/ i went on the site in march 2010. people are working there. it is difficult to assess the pace of work but on many villas i could see 2 people working on each villa. i am talking about the 4 and 5 bedroom villas (contractor pauling LLC) i was not able to reach the 3 bdr villas (which concerns me directly) so i did not see the construction progress for my particular villa

3/ i talked with djehan al murad which is in charge of JP and she confirmed me that the work has restarted on the site and she promised me my villa end of year 2011 for the completion but she put a buffer date until may 2012 at the worst.

the only issue is : nakheel is lying or telling the truth??? as soon as we get delivery that is fine....i think

sorry i went on the site in march 2011 of course (not 2010)
vencky you seem to be very informed about JP can you confirm me for cluster D what djehan said to me???

The Jumeirah Park website evoked images of lush green landscaping. Does any one know what are the plans for this. There does not seem to be too much space for greenery and flower beds etc

HELLO IMRE
DO YOU HAVE PICS OF OTHER AREAS OF JP LIKE THE 3 BDR VILLAS AREA
THANX FOR THE PICS

When I spoke with Nakheel a few days ago, they said that JPM3VL area will be handed over in March 2012, with additional villas around it by end of 2011. Let's hope this time its for real.

Map: Jumeirah Park Master Plan (http://www.propertyportal.ae/image/jumeirah-park-master_plan.jpg)

Can anyone shed some light on P3VL the ones that are right behind the Grand mosque. Last year, the entire outer shell of the homes were completed, any clue as to when these will be handed over? Any info will be greatly appreciated

On Google maps, where the roundabout is located on the Master Plan, there is a tunnel with a road going over it. Any information if the roundabout would still be included?

The original master plan had no big roundabout, but subsequent plans included one. I am confused as to which one they are going with... So far I would say they are going with the original 2007 master plan.

Hi All, does anyone have any idea on the delivery of JPP3VSxxx?

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-06-08/nakheel-chief-chris-o-donnell-quits-dubai-developer-of-palm-shaped-islands.html

Will that (CEO leaving nakheel) affects the project progress? any news about the handover dates?

Hi ANY IDEA ON JPH3VS SINGLE ROW VILLAS....DOES LEGAL STANCE INDICATE ANY COMPENSATION FOR DELAYS

Hi ANY IDEA ON JPH3VS SINGLE ROW VILLAS....DOES LEGAL STANCE INDICATE ANY COMPENSATION FOR DELAYS

Hi, The two rows of JPH3VS are progressing, the contractor is Al Huda contracting co., I've visited the site about 1 month back and managed to stand in front of my villa, it's expected to be handed over on coming May.

Received the following update from Nakheel today........55.5% completed and majority of us have already paid in the range of 70-100%. My SPA states that the villa will be delivered by 30th March, 2010 (including 1 year delay clause) and in response to compensation request Nakheel replied " You must be aware Nakheel has been working towards a comprehensive recapitalization plan and our ultimate goal is to reach a fair and equitable recovery. And therefore, we regret to inform you that Nakheel is not in a position to accommodate your request for compensation as your property has been currently prioritized as part of recapitalization". :bash::bash::bash:

^^Received an e-mail with same payment schedule for my JPL3VL but completion in Sep; 12 and no progress report or photos of the villa.

better late than never

Does any bank financing JP villas ?

Stop dreaming guy!

Does anybody knows if Nakheel is given the NOC for the tranfer?

Does anybody knows if Nakheel is given the NOC for the tranfer?

Nakheel is giving NOC for transfer of Jumeirah Park villas on case to case basis. It is available only for Phase 1, II, IIB where construction is going on.

I think in only one phase there was a problem with the contractor Belaila Betty who approached the tribunal. Rest of the phases Nakheel does not have any problem to hold the NOC.

But the resale admin guys try to play around with you. If you are firm and do correspondence in writing with the guys in the front office as well as include the manager Mucahit Soyakan than your case will be processed fast !

I received the revised payment plan today. Its similar to the others but with a different completion date. According to the letter, the average percentage of completion of the project is 55.5%. I have paid 70%, so go figure, according to the real estate department, the payment is made in accordance to construction. Does any one know if this is a confirmed law or just talk?
Also, the new anticipated completion date for my property has been revised to November 2012. This makes it from April 2009 to November 2012, progress I guess and better than nothing.
I am relieved that I got the letter but at the same time confused. I tried to call Djehan Murrad who is in charge of JP customer care but she's on leave till September. Any one know if there's some one else I could talk to about the payment plan?

This is the new payment plan:
45% First Installment
20% Second Installment-Due on August 2011
20% Third Installment-Due on January 2012
15% Final Installment-On Completion

So far I have made five Installments, so 70% has been paid to Nakheel. What is this new payment plan then? Are they disregarding the fact we have paid already and only 30% is left as a remainder of payment on the property. Anything we have received from Nakheel so far is very impersonal and confusing from the day we bought the property.
Its a basic copy paste letter!
:bash:

DesertRose,
I discussed the payment plan confusion with Djehan before she left on vacation. Apparently, RERA has certified the progress percentage as well as the payment plans for all packages. When I requested her to eMail me confirming that the approval was granted by RERA she said I will check with the Management & revert. Within an hour I received an email from her confirming that RERA has approved. I don't know if it's worth pursuing this further with RERA ????????

If it's any consolation, I've paid them more than 100% (a small credit for the outgoings too.........:):)), settled the balance 30% with a credit note last month to bring down my cost before Nakheel altered the consolidation policy..........

Thanks DXBFan79 for the update. I spoke to Anne Varghese at Nakheel customer service and she confirmed the RERA decision as well.
I will wait and see...maybe they will come up with another revised plan and new completion dates when November 2012 arrives as well!
Thanks again DXBFan79, I really appreciated your fast update!

Desertrose, DXBfan79....Thanks for the RERA confirmation, can we doublecheck this on RERA website, do they list Jumeirah park and certify the progress. I have also paid >100% to take advantage of the Credit note before Nakheel stops accepting credit note for the consolidations. However, when I paid in full (more than full, with rest of money going to future Maint or other charges), I received an agreement which says, possession no later than June 2012, under any circumstances. This is clearly written, so how can Nakheel say Nov, 12 now, when agreement puts deadline at June 12, not even force demajuere. This is June 12, no later under any circumstances.

Dubaiwala, I'm not familiar with the credit notes for consolidation. I purchased the property in 2007 from Nakheel and I have been paying in accordance with their payment schedules that they keep revising. So far I have paid 70% of the property and I will have two more payments left, one in the new year and the next at completion. My property is in package 2A and its a Legacy 4 bedroom. The revised payment letter they just sent me quoted November 2012 as the completion date.

Jumeirah Park is not listed on the RERA website. The website says that they have updates coming up soon. Nakheel says in accordance with RERA that the project is 55.5% complete. I don't have this written but only verbal through customer service. Didn't see anything on the RERA website concerning our project.
Any one else check RERA to see if we are listed?

Who did you use to buy the credit note ? Feel free to pm me so not forum rules are broken....

Just out interest, when will the first JP villas be handed over; is it Nov 2012? We had a delay of 4 years with our Mazaya villa in The Villa, Dubailand with no compensation or discount:-(

Did any of Jumeirah Park owners receive a title deed for their villa ?

Jumeirah Park and Discovery Gardens to get community retail centres http://www.emirates247.com/property/real-estate/jumeirah-park-and-discovery-gardens-to-get-community-retail-centres-2011-08-22-1.414588

Hello guys
i have received a letter dated end of july 2011 from nakheel customer services giving an anticipated completion date for my villa in MAY 2012.........
i am in cluster D JPD3VS
did anyone in cluster D receive the same date ?

Taguy, what's cluster D stand for? I'm only familiar with the package system ie. 2 or 2a.
Please explain how the site is divided into clusters. Thanks

HI
Cluster D because my villa is JPD3VS....actually i am on package 3......from what i know package 1 and 3 will be released first then package 2 and 4 three months after (i got marycruz franceschi on the phone in april 2011 and that is what she said) i don t know if they have changed their plans though

That makes sense! If you're in package 3 and they told you May 2012, then we were told November 2012 and we are in package 2a.
Thanks.

See below link with the article:

Any one know if any villas in JP were handed over?

Nakheel gets cracking: 25,000 workers, 300 days, 9 projects

Chairman says 8,000 housing units will be completed

By StaffPublished Wednesday, September 21, 2011

More than 25,000 workers have been mobilised to complete 8,000 housing units in 300 days, Ali Rashid Lootah, Chairman of Nakheel, was quoted as saying by Arabic daily Al Bayan.

He said: “The 25,000 workers are spread over nine projects. These projects were hampered by the global financial crisis, but currently Nakheel is dealing with them as top priority.”

The projects were identified as Garden View Villas, International City, Jumeirah Island, Badra and Fineto in Waterfront, Jumeirah Heights, Jumeirah Park, Jumeirah Village and Al Furjan.

Lootah added: “Ninety per cent of the contractors who stopped work at Nakheel sites after the crisis have returned to complete projects that the company classified as short-term.”

“Nakheel paid Dh7 billion to those contractors and others affected by the process of restructuring, including those whose debts are less than half a million dirhams.”

Lootah pointed out: “Nakheel has been able to regain the trust of construction and contracting industry and the clear evidence is the resumption of work at these nine projects.”

Shopping malls

He reiterated Nakheel’s commitment to develop four shopping malls, saying the company has received requests for booking space.

Two malls will come up in Discovery Gardens and Jumeirah Park.

Lootah denied the rumors about the existence of a Chinese investor in the expansion of Dragon Mart and said the company's is determined to revive its shopping center project for Palm Jumeirah by the end of the year.

The company will adds to its portfolio more than two million square feet of retail space, he said.

Rental stability

Lootah said that Nakheel continues to play an important role in providing stability to rental sector as the percentage of occupancy in the 20,000 housing units owned by Nakheel is very high.

“Nakheel will help stabilise the leasing market by reducing service fees for many projects by between 30% and 50% and that reduction will be applied according to the project in a timely manner,” Lootah said.

With all the excitement of handover..is anyone thinking of ways to get out of this mess? The market value is going down the drain with the amount of property that will soon be on the market. Will it be worth it in the end? Anyone thinking of arbitration? Please share your thoughts and/or experience. i don't want to pay millions of dirhams for a project that most probably will not deliver what they promised. What about the community? The parks? the landscaping? I'm assuming that will be delayed for several years also. From the way things are looking, we'll be handed over our villa in the middle of a sandpit:(

We filmed inside Jumeirah Park. also asked Nakheel chairman if community will be handed over with proper landscaping...etc. Nakheel is developing a small commerical center within the community. all on the business show "Biddirham" on Dubai TV at 1840 gmt Tuesday October 4. episode dedicated to property in dubai. for those who tweet am available @zeina_soufan (producer/presenter of the show).

Any chance of posting the part about Jumeirah Park on YouTube? Also, which Dubai Tv Channel, the Arabic Channel or English Channel?
Thanks for the update!

It will be on the arabic channel. I will provide link to episode once uploaded. For tweets u can find me @zeina_soufan

Biddirham, did they say anything about the grand masjid being built or not? Any info will help. I'm excited to watch tonight. Any info will better ease our minds

I watched the show last night, Biddirham is a show about the financial situation in the UAE. Last night's show was about real estate. They showed a few minutes of the construction site in Jumeirah Park.
Thank you Zeina for telling us about your program, you presented it beautifully.
The program's presenter had a casual interview with the new Nakheel CEO whilst at Cityscape. The CEO said that they are launching a new project of villas because there is a big demand (...deliver the villas under construction first, I say!). They asked him a bold question that the prices of villas that were on hold and are now undergoing construction have gone down dramatically. He replied saying that the prices of their villas are stable and that he urges investors to hold on to their villas and not to sell because he believes there is a big demand on villas for sale and rent. Easy for him to say cause he's not the one that's been waiting since 2009 for his villa to be delivered. Also, there was no talk on the Jumeirah Park community, the presenter introduced Jumeirah Park by saying that it's 370 hectares of more than 2000 villas encircled by large greenery spaces & areas especially for families. All I have been seeing by passing by the construction site is roads, villas stuck together and no large open spaces what so ever! I guess no one mentioned to the filming team that the parks were cancelled. Actually, as an investor I know nothing about the community after many of the original plan was readjusted so I'm just as clueless as the film crew!
My message is to Nakheel. Get your customer service in order first. Instead of just sending us new payment plans, send us construction updates on our properties, update the JP website. And instead of inviting film crew that will rosey eye your image to the public, take some video tours and photo tours of the construction site and send it to your customers that you are building all these villas for!

Hi All, i have just managed to re-new/retrieve my registration haven read this thread for a while.
I own a 3 Bed JP3VS - H35.

I have been following updates to the construction & have been informed that all the home appliances have been fitted into the 5 beds which are slated to be handed over by Feb 2013, while the 3 beds in Phase 1 are still scheduled for May 2013 hand over.

Apparently, there are also some movements in the secondary market when it comes to JP.

When and where did you receive this info about handover?

Hello to all,

Can anybody please inform me when the sector M3VL on Jumeirah Park will be handed over? Officially it was supposed to be handed over in spring of 2012. If anybody owns a villa there, please do let me know.

Thank you. :)

@ Guest89...Call Ann Varughese at Nakheel customer relations and she can update you. Her number is 04 390 3082. Good luck!

Hi Desertrose, thank you for providing me with her number. I called, but her voicemail was full as usual. I went to Nakheel's main offices and I spoke to a woman who said that it will be handed over "inshallah" in May, June or July of next year. I am a little skeptical when i hear inshallah, but lets hope she is right and they do hand them over by mid next year. According to her the villas are complete with interior works being done.

In addition she told me that visitation permits will commence in 2 months time. Again I don't know why, but lets hope she is right.

So from the meeting, I didn't learn anything new other than reassurance, which frankly is getting old..

Visited the site today and I was VERY impressed with what I saw:
*Progress is clearly evident. There were at least five guys working on a house
* Saw a 3 VL and a 4 bedroom and they were spacious
I think it will be a BEAUTIFUL community once completed. I'm just wondering about the wherabouts of the 'parks'

Hi everyone,

not posted for a while, i've also seen the progress on the villas and they are looking good. Unfortunately too late for me as the debts were just rising. We are selling our property for 2.85mil. A 4 bed Regional that we got for 3.98. Terrible loss but to be free of Nakheel is worth it.

Best of luck for all of you who'll be living in the community.

all the best

Hi All!
How do you all manage to visit the villas. I can only drive by from outside because the security doesn't allow me in. I've asked Nakheel to allow me to visit the model home and they refused.
They have taken the money for the villa so what is the deal here? Is it a security issue. I just want to see the model home. I guess I have no rights, just a big loss! 4.5 million Dirham big loss!
Is it safe for me to just bike inside? I really want to see what the 4 bedroom looks like from inside as the model home they took me to years ago was a 5 bedroom. It will help me decide whether I want to live in this property or not. I have real estate agents calling non stop and I too would love to be rid of this headache Nakheel property.
What exactly is wrong with Nakheel? For such a big developer, they offer lies as customer service and never ever update the website. I can't believe I own a property I know absolutely nothing about! What happened to offering customers construction updates!
Just getting really upset because in January they want me to give them a big payment and I have no idea what my rights are? Just pay up and shut up! Really would love some good advice...
Thanks.

any news regarding the parks, where will they be located?

Dear Desertrose,
The four bedroom is absolutely beautiful! Large, spacious, much bigger than what i envisioned. I wish I bought one. Call Nakheel and set up a site visit, I heard that they will offer visits in a few months. The 3VL also looks great but the upstairs bedrooms seemed a little smaller than what I thought (maybe it'll look bigger once its totally finished.)

I visited the site....let's just say it was more like trespassing:) I won't do it again, too risky..security has increased and you cannot get in unless you have permission. You WILL be stopped even if you do manage to 'sneak' in. I even saw a security guy taking pics of cars. NOT WORTH IT. However, for the first time in years, I'm actually excited about the project. I would love to swap my 3Large for a 4 Bedroom..for the amount of money I paid it's a pity that it isn't the 4 bedroom.

****Does anyone know what the service charges may be by any chance based on comparable villas?

Hi , does anyone know how construction is progressing for 3 bedroom villas? i am in package 3, cluster D and the contracting company working is AL HUDA. nakheel has given a completion date for may 2012 but i really want to know if this completion date is realistic or just a step to give after again a new competion date for end 2012.......
i desperately call Ann but it is constantly a voice mail which is answering....
I would like to sell my 3 bedroom small legacy and buy a 4 bedroom instead. Does anyone interested in swapping?

Does anyone know if JP will be connected to district cooling with regards to AC ? A 3500 sqft villa would enquer a fixed capacity monthly charge of ca AED700 plus actual usage on top...plus of course the DEWA billl for all the electrical items drawing power in the house...plus the housing fee collected by DEWA at 5 % of your rental contract..or equivelent if own and live there....

Hi tony
Thanks for the images, mate that's progress
That has made me feel positive

Hi, everybody. I'm new to this Forum.
Things seem to be doing well at Jumeirah Park.

They have some workers on site at selected phases and things have moved slowly

Great Pictures, thank you for posting them. I pass by the site on a daily basis, the pics taken are of one side that is doing very well construction wise and they are mostly 5 bedrooms. The other side that we can not see on the pics is still progressing slowly and that is the side closer to Meadows 9.
Feel free to correct me, but the other side looks like it needs another year and a half to finish but then I have seen villas in projects in AbuDhabi that took 6 months to go up and get handed over. Of course the developer in AbuDhabi is not Nakheel and so far Nakheel has proven that they are slow and horrible at informing the customer of construction updates.

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum.
We own a 3br villa in the N sector.
After being away from the uae for 2 years because of the crisis, we are back.

Now living in the Springs.

I'm checking up on my villa every week, ther eis a good progress ongoing.

No problem getting inside JP--> In the Springs there is a Spinneys, across from the Spinneys you can drive into JP, there is a security guard but never saying anything, very easy, I go in when I like.
You can even drive through JP completely and come out on the IBN Battuta mall side.

Hope I was of help

is there any parks or green areas in Jumeirah Park?

I will try to get in the JP site tomorrow. I hope the security guard is as nice as you say, thanks!

Hi everybody, I visited the Site yesterday.

I visited the Cluster of the following Villas :
I4V 1 to 33
J4V 1 to 56
K4V 1 to 46
L4V 1 to 49
M4V 1 to 38

In all the above Villas, all Bed Rooms, Bath Rooms, Kitchen, Maid's Room,Swimming Pool are complete and the Villas have been LOCKED.

Inter Locking work is in progress on the pavements and parking area outside the Villas.

Pauling (the contractor for this cluster) will hand over these Villas to Nakheel by mid December.

After Handover Nakheel will check the Electricity,Water connections and Sewage of each Villas, which I think may take a couple of months.

So don't panic, hang on to your Villas.Good Times are Ahead.

Hi VillaOwner,

I've got a friend overseas who has bought a 3 bed large (heritage I think) in JPM3VL... and wants me to go over & see whats happening- they promised him (latest promise) June 12. Can you tell me if this is also made? Also, he was crazy enough to pay 145000 Aed for a pool- of the pools that you saw made by Nakheel, do you think it was better than what others would have made (as he paid more than double the price). Thanks for the info.

Hi Villa Owner!

Good news for a change, thank you! I'm in the cluster you visited but I'm wondering, if they are nearly done, why was I given the handover date of November 2012? That's a year from now, does it take that long for Nakheel to fix electricity and sewage?
As for the pool, I know that when you spend 100000 dhs on a pool, you get a big size pool with fountains running across. My friend just finished her pool in the Meadows. It took a month and a half and she can even do laps in it! Unfortunately, the pool in the JP homes is not worth it and we have all over paid for it. Firstly, it's extremely small and nothing special, very basic. There's now way we can do laps in it!
What to do, we can't beat ourselves up...let's hope later on we will have community club house with a big enough pool to exercise in.

Good day Owners... from the visits some of you made to JP site.. does anyone know anything about JPE3VS12 ?? whats the progress and what is the given handover dates?

Thanks

Hi Villa Owner - can you tell me anything about JPG5V? Thanks

Hi Idealoxford
JPG5V, Regional villa as they say it, these ones are up and ready, you must have got a handover notice from nakheel for feb 2012. let me know if you need more assistance.
if any1 looking to sell or buy or want to avail discounts by using credit notes on there final installments now is the time to use it.
Thanks and Regards Property Zone R.E (and a owner of a villa in JPC4V)

Mansouqa
JPE3VS, its 80% complete i would say still finishing touches need to be done but this will be handed over by nov 2012, you must have got a notice from nakheel as well
Thanks and Regards Property Zone R.E

krisnarula
the current status of JPM3VL the current status i would say is 70-75% complete and i doubt it that june will be the handover it will be nov-dec 2012
and for the pool when it was purchased in 2006 nakheel had given an option to have a pool or not, if yes then aed 145,000 extra for it and the pool size was mentioned and in those fine years (as we say) people paid extra for everything but it would have been better if it was designed by your way and yes it would have been cheaper but unlike for us 4bedrooms and 5bedrooms we are getting a mandatory pools so we can help it. atleast you guys had a option
Thanks and regards Property Zone Real Estate (also a owner of a 4br)

Hi

Our villa is right behind the Juma Mosque and currently that area is empty so hopefully it will be built.
In terms of the names:
JP C 4V = Jumeirah Park section 'C' 4bedroom villa
JP E 3VS= Jumeirah park section 'E' 3 bedroom villa small (No family room upstairs)

Hope this helps!

There are no plans for a large park as such, however there will be a Play Areas for children in some locations I assume

Thanks a lot for the information. Can you please tell me which section the planned Mosque will be built.

Am planning to look for a 4 BR / 5 BR villa, near the Mosque (hoping it gets built in days ahead) and this info will help when I speak to agents

Regards

Would anyone be interested in swapping a 3 bedroom large Heritage style villa for a legacy style villa? My wife and myself prefer the legacy style

All suggestions are welcome

Hi all JP's,,, I work in real estate and I go there 3 to 4 times a week to take photos for clients and I took a 8 min video that I uploaded to youtube,, but from what I see and you'll see in the video L3VL is done and painted - Q3VS almost done but not painted yet - F3VS painted - C3VS painted - I4V - J4V - K4V - L4V - M4V all painted and locked - so they are ready to deliver soon.

HELLO ASH ALLAM, CAN YOU TELL ME IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT D3VS(LEGACY SMALL PACKAGE 3A)?IS IT PROGRESSING ? I WILL BE IN DUBAI ON 22, CAN YOU HELP ME TO GET IN AND SEE MY VILLA, PLEASE?
I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP....

TAGUY, I went there but I couldn't get inside it wasn't easy, some times they are very strict there, so I took some photos from the outside as you can see In PIC1,, D3VS - to the right side - still grey but its better than E3VS - to the left - and I didn't see any body working there but the very next section which is C3VS is already painted in yellow and some villas in beige and black or dark blue ready as you can see in PIC2 and PIC5

I hope that this information is useful for every one.

Ash

I've been to the site many times. I've found a way to get inside without any issue. Only the package 2 is still a bit difficult.

I have around 200 pictures for each package but don't how to upload.

I can send by email if somebody wants to know the status of his villa.

But I am wondering when they will start the construction of the community center (shopping mall, schools, mosque...). Don't think the whole community will be completed before 2014.

hi Ash, thanx a lot for your pictures and your help. that is exactly what i saw when i went there in september. actually the left side in pic 1 is D line (D is not the right side but the left side). as you can see , they even did not put any roofs or painting , only shape of the roof we can see...the first villas of the D line have windows frames but in the end of line D, the last 4 villas (among which mine belongs) have neither windows frames nor roofs . i am really wondering how they can finish in may 2012 as they have announced.....

i think they are very late for D cluster but at the same time, they can not release C sector if they did not complete D sector. this is the only thing that gives me courage......

After thinking more, i think you are right , the right side of pic 1 is D line...sorry boss for my mistake. unfortunately we can not see the end of the line D, but as i saw when i went there the end of line D villas have no roofs, no windows frames...etc the villas in the end of the line D (and my villa is among them) looks like E sector you can see in the front from the road.....that is what i saw when i was there

No problem, I know its a bit confusing but yes the right row in the first photo is D - I think it will be ready in phase 2 by the third quarter of 2012

Canard, to upload photos you must upload them to any web site then put the link, I do it via facebook.

hi canard, your pics are recent?

Nakheel to start working on the retail center first half of 2012

http://gulfnews.com/business/retail/community-retail-centres-power-ahead-1.934749

hi canard, your pics are recent?

Yes from last week

Thanks Ash Allum, much appreciated given that I do not live in Dubai and would never have received such details. Would it be possible to give an update on the progress of JPP 3VL?

JPDELAY, Thanks, P3VL is on my video to the left and right side, starting form minute 2.20 until 2.38 - there is a lot of work going on and villas almost finished but obviously it will be in phase two.

Does anyone have any details on B3VL? Would also be grateful if anyone could give some possible explanations as to why i can't view any of the pictures posted, what am i doing wrong?

Ash,
Do you have an pictures of a completed 3 Bed Large? On Dubizzle, every advert that says its a 3 bed but the pics are of four and 5 bedrooms. I saw an unfinished one, but I'd love to see a completed one. PLEASEEEEEEEEEE

Steeldesign, the section B3VL is very confusing coz on the map you can't find it but if you look at my video at minute 5.12 you will see a sign with D3VL & B3VL means its next to D but its not in the master-plan so it should be in the same state as D3VL as you can see in the video. For the picture viewing problem I think its due to a slow connection but if you see a colored icon you can right click and press open image in new tab.

Jellyfish, actually I haven't seen a complete 3L villa yet but in my video you can see one almost done in minute 1.9 its in O3VL - its a Legacy.

many thanks for the response Ash

do not

Hi all JP's,,, I work in real estate and I go there 3 to 4 times a week to take photos for clients and I took a 8 min video that I uploaded to youtube,, but from what I see and you'll see in the video L3VL is done and painted - Q3VS almost done but not painted yet - F3VS painted - C3VS painted - I4V - J4V - K4V - L4V - M4V all painted and locked - so they are ready to deliver soon.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ho54Wmok72Y

Hi Ash as you know the area so well can you give me any info on up jpm 3vs? Can you tell me cluster the it comes under and if I were to sell what the achievable price would be? Also what do you expect the rental Market to be like for these properties? I would be really grateful if you could provide a pic or two if you have any. Thanks

JPARK,, its in Cluster M, as JP for Jumeirah Park, the following letter for the cluster, V for villa, L or S for large or small then the villa number.

In the first minute of the video in second 43 to 60 you will see cluster Q and cluster M is right behind it so its in the same state. There is some work going on and villas almost finished but not painted yet. Price now between 2.2 to 2.5m - rental would not exceed 5% of the value of the villa by the time of delivery. so if its worth 2.5m the rental will be around 125k AED - I will try to take some photos for you on my next visit.

hi canard,
do you have pictures regarding legacy villas 3 bedroom small > mine is in package 3 section D (cluster D) ? it is al huda contracting company who is building these villas

hi canard, Great, fantastic!!!!!my email is saramarket@hotmail.fr
thanx to you

thanks Imre for the update.

no progress in package 1A.

I heard that package 1A might not be built and the land will be usedfor another project

I managed to visit one of the 4 br villas and noticed the finishing is not like the 5 br show villa, particularly the kitchen (it was cheap).

Have any one tried to contact Nakheel to upgrade his villa before the hand over?

Good Day JP's... Please can any1 tell me the status of JPE3VS12, Ash? any1.. I really appreciate the help. and if there is any dates on handover?

Thanks

Nagshah, I visited the 4 Bedroom also and I agree that it's nothing like the show villa. Bathrooms are small but they are good quality. The kitchen is bigger than the 5 Bedroom villa but looks cheap. They even had the Siemen appliances in the kitchen.
Does any one have an updated Master plan from the one in our contracts and on the JP website? Does the Nakheel office give out the updated map ie.the map after the cancelled villas and parks?

Good Day JP's... Please can any1 tell me the status of JPE3VS12, Ash? any1.. I really appreciate the help. and if there is any dates on handover?

Thanks

E3VS line is still not paint, no glass panel, no roof, only concrete!

Handover of package 3 is scheduled for May 12.

Can anyone tell me or give me pictures of JPM3VL? Wondering how the heritage villas will look like-thanks! My friend who owns one lives overseas so he'd like to see one.

Thank you Canard.. Appreciate it.. But is it Possible the handover on May2012 with all that work still to go??

Thanks

Thank you Canard.. Appreciate it.. But is it Possible the handover on May2012 with all that work still to go??

I doubt frankly speeking!

Hello All!
Any news on package 2a? Have they started building it yet? Also, is package 4 getting handed over in June or is it May?

Hello All!
Any news on package 2a? Have they started building it yet? Also, is package 4 getting handed over in June or is it May?

Package 2a is goin on! lots of workers on the site and the G4V line is almost complete. :banana:

but don't expect the handover in June for package 4. :ohno:

I think it will be somewhere in nov or dec 2012.

Thanks Canard,
Do you have any pictures for G4V ? At one end of G4V it is planned to have a large fountain/water feature and the other end there is a smallish park. Guess these wont be coming up anymore...

Thanks

Hi Canard, is it possible to to advise me on the progress for villa JPA4V022. It is in package 2a. Thanks for your help.

Hi Canard!

Thanks for the information. So when do you estimate package 2a to get handed over?
Also, when on site do they put the villa codes in front of each villa ex. JPE4V or do the construction companies have a special code different from the codes we get?

Hi Canard, is it possible to to advise me on the progress for villa JPA4V022. It is in package 2a. Thanks for your help.

no progress yet. the A line (in package 1a, 2a, and 6) facing Jumeirah Islands is not being built. The A3VL in package 6 is cancelled. The A4V, there is no progress at the moment. Will try to take a picture next time :)

Hi Canard!

Thanks for the information. So when do you estimate package 2a to get handed over?
Also, when on site do they put the villa codes in front of each villa ex. JPE4V or do the construction companies have a special code different from the codes we get?

it's hard to say when we will get the keys of the package 2a, because some of the villas are almost ready (the H4V), and some of them only concrete. I think nothing will happen in 2012 for package 2a.
I just hope I am wrong. :bash:

Canard, I was driving through Jumeirah Island and managed to see the A line, and work is going well as I was at the site 10 months ago and the villa was almost sand, now they put the bricks. I appreciate if you would get some photos for that line.

JPARK,, its in Cluster M, as JP for Jumeirah Park, the following letter for the cluster, V for villa, L or S for large or small then the villa number.

Thanks Ash much appriciated what phase is this considered to be in? Also when realistically do you think it would be ready? Not sure if you would know the answer to my next question but nakheel has asked for another payment which I have not payed based on the delays and the fact that I do not have the funds as I ahave payed so much interest for an extended period of time, do you know what the rules with in Dubai will be in the sence will I loose the house or will I have to pay a masive fine? Any info that you provide will be great.
Thanks j park

I drove through JP last weekend two times and work is going OK. they were working hard on the walk ways around package 1 and 2 and the three bed next to package 2. That means they are trying to deliver these pakages as they promised within first quarter of 2012. For other villas, Nakheel needs to increase the pace otherwise the delivery might be close to end of the year.

Hi,
I'm new to this amazing jumeirah park forum...
I have a villa in JPA3vs
The latest communication from nakheel on delivery is ANTICIPATED May 2012...over 3 years delay from original handover date..
My nightmare is the Islamic mortgage... I'm not sure if I am liable for operating interest on the 70% already paid by thebank beyond the first year of delay...
Does anyone know?
Appreciate the help

I heard Nakheel is delivering the 5 BR villas starting Feb 04, 2012. has anyone received an official letter?

Good Day JP's...

Anybody know what happend with the handover? I thought that Nakheel will start the handover process end of dec2011 and jan2012!! any updates??

and does anyone know if there will be a shopping center or a recreation center in the project and where will it be located?

Thanks... cheers

A friend my mine has told me that the contractor scope has been descoped to not include land escaping, how true this is? and if true, how can Nakheel charge service charges while no common areas are even planted?

Does anyone know what is happening with the proposed School (Oundle) - cancelled / delayed / restarted / completion?

I have just spoken to Oundle school and they are NOT opening in jp anymore. I wonder why.......... Very disappointing.

I visited the site and I have mixed feelings. They will need to work harder on package 1 and 2 to deliver in May 2012

first lots maybe around third 1/4 2012 but still a long way to go with limited staff on site

I visited the site and I have mixed feelings. They will need to work harder on package 1 and 2 to deliver in May 2012

I just went to the site too!

I don't know how they can deliver the package 3 in May. It's still plenty of villas with concrete only. :ohno:

Hi all, is there anyone with a revised delivery date before May 2012?

work seems to be on but slow so I dont think there would be any before May

if you see on the master plan A3VL its written JUST BELOW IS MENTIONED in the master plan in small B3VL

Looking ahead, once the JP villas are eventually delivered, the owners of Jumeirah Islands, the Nakheel villa community next to JP are facing district cooling charges, air conditioning, of AED3200/month. JP are connected to the same chiller company.

http://www.thenational.ae/news/uae-news/residents-cool-on-fees-and-lakes

Additionally, the yearly service fee charged by Nakheel of the Jumeirah Village owners are AED6/sqft. Assuming similar charges for the JP community, a JP 3500 sqft villa would equate to AED21000/year.

so thats about 40,000 - 50,000 AED per year for service charges depending on SQ ft.

No thanks to JP

Look like no one has a revised delivery date before May 2012

Hello Every one,

Thanks good Finally nakheel is moving forward....
But now a big question to all JP owners:

-what is your current payment level?

-dont you think we should get discount? and or a freez on services charges for the first 18 months at least...

I do have 2 JP Legacy, and i refuse to be fooled again by this developper.

as the project has been so long delayed ( nothing to do with international crisis - i cant hear that excuse anymore...)

If you all agree or want to participate lets send few email to Nakheel CEO and CEO of RERA? maybe it will help

Nakheel giving a discount???!!! :ohno:

the only way to reduce our payments is using credit note.

I am looking to buy a 3br Large, Any motivated sellers please contact me on my PM, Would like to do an all cash deal. But please be reasonable with your pricing demands. Rgds, Ash.

Maybe somebody will recognise his/her villa here :)

Imre could you take some pics in phase 4a? Of the legacy large 3 bedrooms?

Hi
Has anybody that ownes a 5 bed received notice of handover??
It seems like Nakheel are failing to the promise made about package 1 being delivered this month (FEB 2012)

Hi share.info, when I was at Nakheel offices last month, they said package 1 delivery date is May 2012.

Hi share.info, when I was at Nakheel offices last month, they said package 1 delivery date is May 2012.

Question - Will Nakheel continue accepting credit notes for package 1 & 2 after they announce handover?

Looking ahead, once the JP villas are eventually delivered, the owners of Jumeirah Islands, the Nakheel villa community next to JP are facing district cooling charges, air conditioning, of AED3200/month. JP are connected to the same chiller company.

http://www.thenational.ae/news/uae-news/residents-cool-on-fees-and-lakes

Additionally, the yearly service fee charged by Nakheel of the Jumeirah Village owners are AED6/sqft. Assuming similar charges for the JP community, a JP 3500 sqft villa would equate to AED21000/year.

Following up on my earlier post on, above, I note with interest that some Jumeirah Island residents, in order to avoid the high district cooling charges, have installed split AC;s and substantially reduced the AC or chiller charges. I also note that RERA says this is illegal :

..."A senior Real Estate Regulatory Agency (Rera) official, however, claims owners can’t refuse to take chiller connection because of a hike in charges. “They have to abide by the contract they have signed,” he said..."

That assumes you sign that contract with the district cooling company ( most likely will be Al Shirawi US Chillers ) upon the JP villa handover. My JP SPA does not include any clauses to that affect which most likely means that Nakheel will try bully owners into signing that contract upon handover and threathen not hand over the keys unless you do. Which is illegal. Once the property is fully paid for the law is clear, the developer has to give you the keys

Here is the article regarding the Jumeirah Island owners plight...

Villa owners ‘cool’ alternative to chiller charges

But Rera says it is compulsory for residents to subscribe to master developer’s chiller service

A steep hike in chiller charges proposed for Dubai’s upscale Jumeirah Islands is forcing villa owners to look for alternative ways to cool their abodes.

A number of Jumeirah Islands villa owners have refused to sign up the new contract citing an unreasonable hike in proposed consumption charges – two-and-a-half times of last year’s charges.

Nakheel, the master developer of the upscale villa community, told owners recently it will be charging chiller at Dh1.40 per tonne of refrigeration an hour, instead of Dh0.563 per tonne it levied in 2011. It has, however, waived off the capacity charge of Dh1,250 per month.

One approach being followed by an increasing number of residents is to ditch the central-cooling apparatus altogether and, instead, install split air-conditioners in their villas.
This, maintain residents who have switched their cooling systems, has reduced their bills drastically.

“I have installed split A/Cs… the bills have been quite low for some months now. My chiller connection got disconnected since I was not paying and I don’t think I am going to apply for a reconnection,” said a villa owner who wished to remain anonymous.

On the issue on the annual service fees or maintenance fees, I worry Nakheel will try charging us at the same outrageous level as Jumeirah Village Triangle, JVT, the community next to JP. Nakheel is charging AED16000/year for a 2700sqft villa in JVT while Emmar is charging AED6000 for a 2400 sqft townhouse in Springs. You do the math. The Springs is a matured fully landscaped neighbourhood while Jumeirah Village, 2 years after inital handover, is still a moon landscape.

The only light on the horizon is that RERA has to approve the service fees. You still would have to pay the service fees asked by Nakheel upon handover but there would subsequently be a chance for a refund should RERA decide that Nakheels fee is set too high. The ultimate solution is for the JP owners to form an ownership association and select their own service provider thru a competitive bidding process as The Shoreline owners are attempting to now.

I believe each JP villa will have its own central AC. Go and look at the roofs and you will see the units. So there should not be any charges.

Hi share.info, when I was at Nakheel offices last month, they said package 1 delivery date is May 2012.

Thanks Nagshah

That means package 1 and 2 shall be delivered all together??

I highly doubt this, do you have confirmation from Nakheel regarding the same. but it will be great if its true.

edited to add more info:
Yes, you are right, I haven't been to the property yet, but from Imre's pics it looks like there are independent a/c units on the roof, looks like Nakheel has learnt their lesson from the past.

Thanks Nagshah

When I asked about package 2, they did not give clear answer.

Hi all,


I'm thinking of buying a legacy 3 br small villa in JP and would like your advice regarding the following:

With the handover this year, will the landscaping be done (green areas)?
Anyone knows anything about the service fees? is it calculated on the BUA or the plot area?
Would anyone be interested to sell his villa on installements?
Any expectation about the market price after handover?
I'd appreciate your feedback.

Good Day JP'S

is there any updates on handover..!!?? any pakage? specially pakage (3) where legacy small 3 BR??

anythinggg..!!

Regards

When I asked about package 2, they did not give clear answer.

Hi Guys, I went to Nakheel this week, they informed me that package 1 is scheduled for handover in March and package 2 to be completed by May with handover shortly afterwards.

Not sure how accurate this is but we will see over the coming weeks if package one gets delivered

Sharing excerpts from an email that I received from a real estate agent :

Dear Investor,
I am sure that the upward price movement in J P has caught your attention. It is such a relief !
We still have buyers at these elevated prices.
The investor breed has almost exited from the buyers list as the prices are too high from what they have seen just 6 months ago and they do not expect further rise to justify fresh investment now..
But for Jumeirah Park, we still have direct end users who are now confident that the project will be completed by Nakheel.
Though the work is going on at a good pace, the handover dates are anybody's guess.
Nakheel had promised handover in November 2011 for the 5 bedroom villas, but it has not happened yet.
We have direct buyers for the villas. In case you are planning to exit, please let us know and we will offer the best rates for your villa.

Sharing the feedback received from Nakheel for my 4Bed villa in Package 2 :

We thank you for your email.

The anticipated completion date for the said property is May 2012. The villas are almost completed, we now wait for the utility connections to be completed in order to issue the Notice of handover.

We hope to write to you shortly.

The 5 br should be delivered first but still there is no handover confirmation from Nakheel

My 3BR Legacy Large is in package 4 and was due for handover June '12, but yesterday when we called Nakheel they said it's actually Aug/Oct time frame. Our friends who visited the Nakheel center were advised that it's actually Dec '12.
More delays and more indifferent attitude on Nakheel's side with no form of compensation. Funny how they start crying when people don't agree to their exorbitant service charges in other projects, but they're fine inflicting hundreds of thousands of dirhams of additional costs on people suffering from their incompetence.

I'm in package 2a and I just got a reply from Nakheel via email stating that they anticipate a September 2012 completion. We where told by a couriered letter a few months ago that they are expecting a completion by November 2012.

We are today 17 March and no delivery notices sent out even though the promise from Nakheel was for package 1 that they would deliver all villas in February.

Has anybody been or contacted Nakheel and asked about package 1 handover and what was promised??

Just called Nakheel and they said hopefully they will deliver package 1 in April. This time they are saying we are ready but DEWA not

Even though I'm not in package 1 I'm in package 2,
Nagsha the news you've got is very very good for all owners of J.P

I know it is probably a stupid question but how many packages are there (what do they include) and when are their expected completion dates?

Thanks for the response in advance.

Hi Guest89,
Below is a breakdown of the JP packages. Nakheel are saying Package 1 to be in late April & Package 2 will be May 2012 (was meant to be Feb/Mar), whilst the handover for final Packages 2a & 6 is meant to be Nov 2012 (they're being overly optimistic in my opinion & Q1/Q2 2013 is more realistic). To be honest I hear new rumours every week though!

Package 1 (Five Beds)
Package 2 (Four Beds)
Package 2a (Four Beds)
Package 3 (Three Bed Small)
Package 4 & 4a (Three Bed Large)
Package 5 & 5a (Three Bed Small)
Package 6 (Three Bed Large)

Packages 1a (Five Beds) and 7 (Three Bed Large) are 'on hold' / cancelled.

Any idea why ????

Hi GreenKiwi;
I can shed some light on the Islamic Financing since I'm using it.
What you mentioned is right to a certain limit.
In this case, you agree with the Islamic bank on the completion/handover date, which is mainly specified by the developer.
The Bank will do the payments as per the schedule and you won't do any payment for the interest (which is called Murabaha) till the handover date, which will be paid in full at that time only, in addition to the monthly payments to start from that date as well.
The good thing about Islamic Financing is that if the property gets delayed, then you won't be asked to pay for interest for that period (the delayed period).
In this case, the Bank is considered the owner of the property till the end of the loan period where it get converted to your name (Like lease to own model).
i just joined the forum; please forgive me if i'm repeating some of the earlier discussions; ????FGB is charging me the interest and will continue to do so until the time Nakheel will hand over the project - i would appreciate if you can apprise me with any new developments in this regard.

Did you take Islamic financing or just regular mortgage financing ?

I was at JP 30 minutes ago driving through and noticed that work is progressing very well. This make me believe that the issue with late delivery of package 1, as Nakheel said, waiting DEWA connection and ones it is resolved the other packages will follow shortly.

Gday all, I am new to this good forum... thanks for updates nagshah.. I hope we see progress in April!

Hi All J.P owners

Things are very positive after this very long wait,
Prices are going up and up day by day I receive calls everyday asking if I would sell and each call that I take has a better offer for me

Sit tight now owners good days are ahead

Good luck

Good Day JP's

Went to nakheel office yesterday, got some good news:
- the delay in package one in due to DEWA its true.. and soon the handover process will start, and package 2 will follow.
- package 3 (wich I'm interested in will start handing over in Oct 2012 which is good news!!
- There is no district Cooling in JP... thats for sure.. awesome!!
- The service charge could be around AED 10/sqft... a bit high but will manage.:bash:

Does any1 know whats the best offer i can get for my vills (Legacy Small 3BR) in package 3 series JP3K??

Good Luck all... and keep the good news coming:)

I think that is very high compared to neighboring Emaar developments in meadows springs or others areas like silicon oasis where services seem to be excellent at a fraction of that charge.. Going forward will it be possible to take control of service charges through an owners association.. Any thoughts ?

The 10 AED is a killer. I don't think it is true. I cant believe I wil pay more than 43,000 per year for my 4br villa. The max it should be around 5 aed.

We are in April and no notices sent for May delivery :(

emirates 24 - 7: meadows service charge currently AED 2/sq ft, BUA.

Meanwhile Nakheel in the press stating they will have the cheapest service charges in Dubai!

10 aed/sqf!!!!

Come on Nakheel, don't kill us! It doesn't make sense. How much jumeirah islands owners are paying?

I googled jumeirah island rate, one article says 3.5dhs / sqft there.. not sure if accurate source or how recent though

This rate of AED 3.5 is it for plot area or BUA
I googled jumeirah island rate, one article says 3.5dhs / sqft there.. not sure if accurate source or how recent though

Hello,
I am considering to buy a villa in jumeirah park and the villa I found is in K cluster. It is a pretty good plot size and in package 2 handover which is anytime soon now. However, I went to see the area and the villa is on the side of where the electric cables are. It is not close to the cables but you can see them driving to reach the K cluster. What do you think about this? Is it prefferably to find a villa on the other side of the road?

Still no news from Nakheel about completion or handover

Spoke to Anne at Nakheel yesterday. My villa is in package 4 and she has given an expected delivery date of July to October 2012.

Spoke to Anne at Nakheel yesterday. My villa is in package 4 and she has given an expected delivery date of July to October 2012.

Jpdelay, how did you get through to her? Do you have a number that you can inbox me? I've called several times, and was put on hold for over an hour. I've emailed them twice and got the automated reply that my request is being processed. STILL WAITING. I have a 3 bed large in P cluster, I think that is considered phase 4, not sure though.

Hi!
I think the reason you can't get through to Ms. Anne Varghese is because she is on Holiday. If you call Nakheel on 04 390 3333 and tell them you are trying to get in touch with Anne Varghese they would give you some one else that you can talk to about your property or maybe she's back and you can talk to her.
Last week I got a letter and wanted to discuss it with her and I kept calling with no luck. When I called the above number they told me she was on Holiday and gave me some one else to talk to and the issue was sorted out within hours.
You should have received a letter explaining your payments and hand over dates a few months back.
Personally, I think each one of us will get an added 6 to 8 months hand over delay on the dates given. I base that prediction mainly on the fact that my January 15% payment was delayed till May, RERA has been making sure that payment is in line with construction. The other reason is that many of my friends have villas ready to move in and they have delayed their hand over. They were told the delay was a DEWA issue and that was 3 months ago, their properties were supposed to be handed over in March.
My property is in package 2a and I was told delivery is in Nov.2012. I believe I will not receive the property in 2012 but it would be second quarter of 2013.
Also, for people thinking of buying property in Jumeirah Park my advice is to buy something ready because none of us know when we are going to get our properties and I have purchased this villa in 2006. It's very frustrating dealing with Nakheel as they are very vague about what is available in the community,service charges and many other things, I just wouldn't wish this frustration on some one else willingly.

Hi

I live in Duabi so am able to pop into to the Nakheel offices every now & then - though normally its an exercise in futility. Sorry to disappoint anyone in package 2 for JP, but I went to Nakheel a couple of days back and was told expected handover is Nov 2012. As ever with nakheel the handover estimation date simply gets moved forward but always tantilisingly 4-6 months ahead to keep your hopes up. I agree with Desertrose that likely handover will be sometime in 2013 - I too purchased in 2006.

I think you meant package 2a not package 2. I have just spoken to a contact in Nakheel and they said the handover of package 2 will be as soon as May or June.

Any news on Package 1 handover, please?
Also does anyone know if the landscaping has started around the 5 bedroom villas, please?

From my contacts wiht Nakheel and the visits to the site, package 1 & 2 will be delivered soon. I am surprised that the notices did not go to the 5 br villas yet.

Dear customer

We thank you for your email.

We write to inform you that Package 1 and 2 are completed. We wait for utilities to be connected for the villas. On receiving the confirmation from the site, we shall proceed to issuing the notice of completion for the owners.

We anticipate the connections to be completed by end of May.

We will be writing to you shortly on this matter.

Thanks Chakazoolu ! Taken from a helicopter ??

Has anyone heard about the handover of units? Did anyone receive an official letter from Nakheel yet?

I guess that the handover will be done once the approach road into the community gets ready and the landscaping is in place.

I guess that the handover will be done once the approach road into the community gets ready and the landscaping is in place.

Good morning. I do not think Nakheel main concern is the road. The delay is caused by DEWA as they has not connected what I believe is the electricity yet. Once it is done Nakheel will issue the handover notes even the roads are not completed. If someone knows a freind at DEWA, please ask him and report back to us.

Is there a map outlining each sector or package? I find this all very confusing?

Was driving on Emirates road last night. It looked like there was a large fire in JP, did anyone else see it?

There was no Fire in JP.

GONGRATULATIONS, Today I was told that the handover notices for the 5br villas went out from Nakheel

Good Day JP's

Does any1 know who is the contractor for package 3? and what is the status there?

Anybody got handover notice from nakheel?

I heard that 3BR legacy small are going for 2.6 to 2.9mil. is that true?

appreciate a reply.

Regards.

Hi 5 Bed owners
Please share the information on your handover notices when received from Nakheel

Good Day JP's

I heard that 3BR legacy small are going for 2.6 to 2.9mil. is that true?

appreciate a reply.

Regards.

If you goto propertyfinder.ae 3br small and large are available starting at 2.2 Million DHS. In general, there are quite a few posted for 2.3-2.4 range, While this may seem low, back in Jan, there were listings for 1.95-2.1 Mill. So there is an uptick, of course, how many deals have been stuck and at what price is still a bit hazy.

Nakheel'a Jumeirah Village was handed over using portable generators for the first 3-6 months until DEWA eventually hooked up.

Last week I had a cash offer of 2.6M, for my small 3-Bed regional. I am considering it, but I believe when the hand over is done, a villa like could be sold for 2.8M.

GONGRATULATIONS, Today I was told that the handover notices for the 5br villas went out from Nakheel

What is the handover date?

Just wondering they will do the really handover or will have similar story as Jumeirah Heights?

This has reference to the earlier comment about offers received for 3 BR. If you track prices over the last several months property prices in 3 BR, 4 BR and 5 BR in JP have all gone up steadily.

Given the locational advantages of villas in JP compared to villa complexes in other locations [/B](closest to Sheikh Zayed Road, closest to the metro station, closest to the one of only two metro parking facilities, closest to a growing business hub ie JLT[/B]) it is only a matter of time that JP villas will experience steeper price increases.

I agree. Considering all the factors that you have mentioned & couple that with the size of plots in JP, I would place JP in the comparitive price bracket below Jumeirah Islands & above Meadows.

6 months after the handover one should expect a price increase & a substantial increase IF they handover with a community centre & the club..........JMHO.

I own a property in JP myself, and as much as I would like to agree with you, I still cannot see JP prices going above that of Meadows.

The quality of living has nothing to do with being next to Jumeirah Lake, or metro. More than anything else the community and green areas surronding your villa adds to the quality of life. JP falls short substantially on these factors. Large plot of land is nice, but maintenance of these large backyards is quite costly.

My view is that JP prices per square foot would stabilize at about 10% to 15% below Meadows at completion. Right now Meadows villas are being advertised at AED 1,200 per SqFt on average. But supply of JP villas will push down prices of meadows villas. I don't know how much this price contraction will be, but let's assume that to be 10%.

So my estimate for price per square foot on these villas is between AED 900 to AED 950 at completion.

"Location, Location, Location' It's the number one rule in real estate, and it's often the most overlooked rule. It means identical homes can increase or decrease in value due to location. One cannot change the location of a property. That is the reason why the JP villa complex with its fantastic locational advantages has a better chance of high price appreciation over time. Presumably the developers and theresidents will take care to ensure that the property is landscaped well and maintained well.

nice discourse. but JP will never ever reach a higher value for the villas than Meadows. Why: well, this will be a construction site the next 10 years or so. no parks, zero infrastructure, nothing. perhaps in 5 to 7 years they finish the promised schools, shopping mall etc. I doubt that.

and the worst thing is: nakheel is the developer, meaning: ridiculous high service charge, service charge increase from on year to another of 100% and more.
on top: PDC (also just increase of 150%).

And if you think you can form your OA:
Nakheel falls under the protection of a special Decree ( Decree 22 or 21 i guess), which simply means that OA in residential villa developments are not allowed, that RERA is NOT responsible etc.

Nakheel is, by no means, planning to get out of business. It is in their interests to complete JP villa complex as quickly as possible. At best it will be a year from now. They are also likely to relaunch the stalled part of the project in JP at higher prices. Say what you may Nakheel developments, including Palm Jumeirah and Jumeirah Islands are all faring brilliantly.

All, any news on the hand-over, please?

There is a rumor that the handover is now being delayed again till September. However if anyone has bought credit notes and used them to pay off out standings you will have had to sign a document. This document (at least in my case) absolves Nakheel of any liability for the delays up to a specific date. This date is 30 June 2012. while the penalty or consequence of Nakheel delay beyond that date is not spelled out, it is a stick. Please check your documentation and see if you can find such a date.

Hi Nagshah
Please speak to your contacts in Nakheel regarding the Delay in handover
Thanks

Email I received from Nakheel today

Dear Sir

We thank you for your email.

We wait for the utility connections to be completed in order to release the handover notices for the properties. We anticipate this to be completed in a month from now.

We hope to write to you shortly.

Dear JP Owners,

I live in Dubai & have been waiting for a long time now for our 5 bed's to be handed over. I went to site yesterday & am pleased to say it looks like the power is on! (exterior lights anyway). Furthermore, I also saw cleaners in yellow overalls inside & outside the villas. When I stopped a contractor's car I was informed they were cleaning the units in anticipation of handover next month.

Furthermore, on speaking to Ann Varughese at Nahkeel, she hopes letters will go out shortly.

Can I suggest we all keep the pressure on Nahkeel and finally make a push for the keys to the homes we have all been patiently waiting for.
