WOW:banana: shiny shiny glass. They are working on the marina side as you can see JBR on the glass.

Thanks Imre.

^^nice spandrel matching!!

[bizzybonita]

Congratulation S owners this cladding matching the same in render :D

Plus it's so superior in quality then infinity cladding to me :)

[True Blue]

^^nice spandrel matching!!

Someone tell me why!

I don't get it, lets hope RMJM know what they are doing. The bulkhead will need to be held back from the glass as there is no transom to tie into.

I would have preferred blue glass instead of silver but hey, the name of the building is.......:)

Why do some buildings damproof the concrete by painting it with black bitumen (i guess), and some dont bother ?
What are the consequences of this ?

BTW your lot got a lucky draw in the Champoins league

Mainly depends on where the dew point can occur on the temerature gradient. Warm moist air loses moisture to cold building surfaces so you could get dampness and mould forming on the walls. Better to seal the surface than take a chance. Concrete people will tell you it helps to prevent excessive moisture loss resulting in arrested hydration and curbing strength gain in the concrete. In theory, concrete continues to gain strength for up to 50 years as long as some moisture remains deep in the concrete. If there is no sealer then concrete dries completely by 1 day for every millimetre thickness. So if a column is 600mm thick then the furthest passage for moisture is 300mm so in 300 days strength gain will have stopped. Take your pick, but I have witnessed plenty of evidence of the first problem.

As for the footie, it will only be a lucky draw if we get through. The boys have been working on their diving in the penalty box:lol:

Good luck to Scotland for World Cup SA.:banana:

Nice progress in the development. However, is anyone aware of any resale happening in, say, the last three months and, if so, at what price?

TB this seems like too much glass for test or samples. Each section seems likk is 2 foot out of true vertically, this will create an awfull line just above floor level. Any ideas?

A couple of months ago, the list of Silverene available properties in Cayan's website included 17 units and now I count 13. I am not sure if this means that there have been some sales in the meantime or if the units were taken off market.

I have had loads of enquiries on my units here and have sold some at decent premiums....:)

A low sill, which is normal but it is the ceiling/bulkhead that is going to be unusual. Could be awkward for hanging curtains unless they create a big enough gap.

[jeffers]

^^ looks like incorrect fitting to me, the small pains would normally cover the working space between the floors, to cover up all the structual works, and the large windows full height from floor to the false ceiling ?? the small ones being false windows with the same external apperance.

[True Blue]

I don't think it is possible to fit incorrectly. They will have clear section drawings showing exact levels for everything. I just find it unusual and hope the architect has thought it through.

[V.ALEX.]

I guess these guys are professionals and definately, this is not the first time the do this, so, for me, no need to worry.

It seems to be the same size as what was used on ground floor, allowing you to see the internal floor stuff that the dark colured panel blocks out on other floors.

[mamoon100]

The height of the glazed facade appears to be consistent and in line with the balcony level. The question is why is the third balcony inconsistently higher than the others?

Leasing:
I have read a few comments regarding leasing these units in this current uncertain market.
There is no doubt in my mind that Silverene will be one of THE most attractive leasing developments in Dubai Marina. Right next to the Metro Station, Marina Mall and EMAAR Office Tower.
Anyone who thinks leasing is slow at the moment should real Better Homes September Market report headlined:

"Better Homes Sees Best Leasing Month EverContrary to the worries of a massive exodus this summer, Better Homes celebrated its best month ever in August, with more lease transactions than any prior month in company history".

I have just re-leased my 2 bed in Al Majara with 2 clients bidding against each other!!:cheers:

[jeetha]

I have just re-leased my 2 bed in Al Majara with 2 clients bidding against each other!!:cheers:

Is Al Majara part of Nuran Marina Serviced Residences?

So roughly in the same location as Silverene. :banana: They are worth fighting over.:banana:

Thanks for sharing.

[johnnyinspain]

Hi Jeetha,

Its actually the other way round. Nuran is part of Al Majara.

Al Majara is a 5 Tower EMAAR development with Nuran being one of the towers. (EMAAR's own serviced apartment operation?.

I have a small 2 bed that has rented since the day it was handed over.

As long as the units are in the right tower in the right section of the marina and are full panoramic marina view, they will rent. There is still very big demand for this small section of the marina, especialy on the SZR side, facing the beach.

Towers on this side of the marina have very easy vehicle access and some such as Silverene are right next to the Metro Station.

With Silverene having such a good location, I would expect them to lease very well when ready.

TB

The glass quality looks good as does the system. We were trying to work out what the glass pattern was going to be. In the render they show the light section fixed in a horizontal(landscape) format with a much darker section fixed portrait style. I'm sure this is the light silvered glass with a slight tint on the second pane and the glass that has not started is going to be the dark blue section.

So it looks like they have dumped the idea of the landscape glass panels.

[True Blue]

You were busy with your Budweisers and I just posted:)

This is Imre's psychological trick he learned from the product placement guys. Everytime I want to admire the tallest block, I see Budweiser and have a drink.:cheers:

[mamoon100]

In the render on the marina facing side there's a diagonal 'change of glazing' effect. Do you think this will be implemented and if so what effect would it have on someone looking out if their window? Is this architectural finish found anywhere else? I think my apartment just about avoids it!

[9714]

^^good glass selection can make this hardly noticeable (from the inside that is...). if they match internal reflection and light transmission you should be ok - at night anyway.

[DubaiDude]

A bit different question and wondering if anyone can help. I co-own one Silverene unit (sold another last year for a nice profit :) ) with some dubai-based buddies and now that we are approaching some positive cash flow want to formalise our "partnership", either through creation of investment partnership/company or similar vehicle. Would be interested to hear if anyone has experience in something similar - or can point in the direction of someone who can advise in Dubai.

Has anyone taken a look at the walkway on the Marina side of Silverene? Last I saw, it was all closed off to accommodate temporary housing and offices for the construction. But today I see this claim in an Emaar press release:

"Strengthening access to the mall is a new walkway that connects the Dubai Marina Yacht Club with the mall as well as a network of bridges connecting various residential units in and near Dubai Marina."

Source: http://www.ameinfo.com/211875.html

I can only conclude that they're referring to the walkway along the Marina. Please tell me if anyone can confirm this. Or should I just chalk it up to nonsense as it's a typical press release.

Wicked ... If only developments were like this across the Marina ... A joy to see the progress here.
Well done, Cayan - Can wait to get me keys. :banana:

[mamoon100]

It may have been mentioned before in any one of the 56pp but Tower B is actually 26 floors high as per the cayan website and shown in Imre's pics above. Shouldn't this be reflected in the title for accuracy (rather than 25F)?

In any case Tower B should be on roof construction by the end of the month. Hopefully all the 'concreters' can then move over to expedite the top out of Tower A and/or the completion of the podium. Would you say all structural concreting to be complete by end of December?

Just great progress all round!

[dubaiprojects]

Why it seems that the floors 15th and 17th are taller then the rest of floors?

Is it correct to say that silverine enjoys the best average location in the whole marina considering the next door shopping malls, metro station, close to yacht club etc etc or is there a better project out there?

[jsmith6]

Yes, this walkway will open as soon as Silverene is pretty much finished. Anticipate sometime during summer 2010 when the portacabins come down...

Johnnyinspain, was told yesterday at the yacht club that the walkway will open sometime in November in order to increase traffic between the yacht club and the marina mall and The Address Hotel. We'll see if they achieve that. I notice that their recent press releases have said the walkway's already open.

What is a plant floor? You mean service area?
Why it is on 17th floor and not on roof top or basement?

And what about Tower B where is it located?

Cheers

[9714]

^^ plant/ services level is on 13th floor in tower B.

mid tower plant floors are common in towers to reduce the distances services have to travel and pressure in pipes.

there is probably plant space on the roof and at lower levels also.

there is probably plant space on the roof and at lower levels also.

How much noise those plants make? Should owners on below or above floors be concerned?

[Barracuda]

Not really, some buildings even have the one or the other unit on the service levels

Standard panel not a big problem:) I thought we were talking about the special.

9714 might remember there was loads of problems with miss sized and damaged specials at The Jewels. Infact some people got apartments with plywood for a while due to the back log of work in the glass factories.

Johnnyinspain, was told yesterday at the yacht club that the walkway will open sometime in November in order to increase traffic between the yacht club and the marina mall and The Address Hotel. We'll see if they achieve that. I notice that their recent press releases have said the walkway's already open.


Here's a picture of the walkway along the Marina between Silverene and the Marina Mall complex. Shown in the center background is the office tower that is part of that complex. In the background to the left is the Marina Mall.

Directly in front is the wall that is blocking passage along the walkway between Silverene and Marina Mall. This despite Emaar's press releases saying a walkway has now opened between the Yacht Club and the Marina Mall.

[jeetha]

Okay Boy and Girls I have good news. :banana::banana:

The show apartment for Silverene is now completed :banana: who is going to be the First to view it?

Why would they showcase an apartment at this stage unless they have several units left to sell??

Anyway if any one has a chance please take some pics and upload on here.

Yes they have.

From what I was told today, they have sold all their previous releases.

They will be releasing the balance floor in Tower B

There are never any workers there.

I wonder if someone could move that block from the walkway, will it be clear all the way to the Mall?

Jeetha, Where did you get the news of show apt being open from? Which tower / floor is it in? Also, are you aware of any price details for the apts yet to be released?

[jeetha]

The apartment I was enquiring about (a particular size apartment) was @2.00 psf.
Which is not yet released but that is the price.

I was told that the "mock up" apartment is ready. Which I assume means show apartment.

Don’t know which tower yet.

Interesting article:
"New Dubai Metro on Track to Boost Nearby Property Demand Four years on from the start of construction, there is a new addition to the city’s skyline…On 09/09/09 at exactly 9pm, the red line of the Dubai Metro was officially inaugurated. The world’s longest driverless train system is set to make life easier for thousands of commuters, with 10 stations in the first phase now open for business. Once fully functional, 29 stations will cover more than 70km of the emirate. The long awaited network is also creating a buzz within the property market, with demand for property close to stations set to soar. When choosing accommodation, proximity to the Dubai Metro ranks top priority for one in three people, according to a study of 625 Dubai residents.

The Show unit is on the 3rd floor of tower A and is an 09 two bed unit facing Jebel Ali side.

I am struggling to work out how to add pictures on here but will keep trying....

The unit is not currently for sale. Cayan have sold everything that they have released and are only selling resales at the moment.

They may launch one of their few remaining high floors in the next few weeks, but have not made a decision yet. They have no low floors left.

I went into several units. The 08 units are clearly the prime units, but are quite large. The 07 units in tower A are particularly stunning and are great value as smaller 2 bed units, with views down the length of the marina from every room. The lower floors have much better marina views, and the higher floors have great overall views.

The retail and the podium are also starting to take shape.

This will be a really excellent development when it is finished next year.

I wonder if someone could move that block from the walkway, will it be clear all the way to the Mall?

Yes, it's pretty much clear all the way to the mall from here, except another, smaller block next to the mall, and some dirt from the construction. Of course there is always the risk of something falling onto the walk way as construction continues overhead, though that doesn't seem to deter the construction firms from operating their cranes over live automobile traffic; I doubt it will deter them from operating over live pedestrian traffic either.

silver owen and white washing machine ? they have no taste :)

, with silver washing machine would be better, anyway looks like good quality.

[jeetha]

I think white washing machine looks much better as it matches the top units.

http://i33.tinypic.com/ofatco.jpg

[True Blue]

^^Agree with you Jeetha. Washing maching is not built in appliance like the oven,hob or extractor. Who would exchange a quality Bosch Siemens machine in white for a TEKA machine in silver. Not many.

The theme is modern, the same wall tile has been used that we have in Dorrabay but a different colour. The bathrooms are similar to The Jewels tiles but laid landscape. The main difference is the quality of the job looks so much better than The Jewels. Jewels grout was grey on the beige chipped tiles.

I can see shadow gap detail on the ceiling which is a nice touch. Also halogen downlighters above the windows.

This puts BC under pressure now.:) How much longer are they going to take to get 1 apartment ready:lol:

[Nad]

As an investor in BC I agree with TB - the quality here looks spot on. Well done to all who chose this project over BC.

[johnnyinspain]

I asked them about the white washing machine, and they said that the only good quality machines were in grey, which look awful. Personally I am going to try to move the washing machine out of the kitchen as I have done with my units in Marina Sail and Al Majara, and replace with a stainless dishwasher.
This show unit will be furnished at some point soon......

Finishing does look good from your pictures... thanks for sharing this with us.

[rags]

Thanks, Johnnyinspain, for the pictures. You said you went into several apts. What is the status of their completion internally?

BTW, I would have preferred a glass splashback in a lighter coulour rather than black tiles which make the room look smaller and darker but I guess light is not a problem in Dubai. Also, classier switches / plug points may have been preferred. But then, hey, if everything else is fine, I will take this.

[Grubbman]

^^
Take it! I´d be on my knees kissing the floor. Looks fantastic and is exactly what the developer promised, the rarity always promised but seldom delivered know as a 5 star finish. Big congrats to all investors it seems you have picked a winner in this big contstruction lottery. Looking at my BC investment compared to this nearly makes my eyes water......

[True Blue]

Just had a thought, Cayan use Betterlife as their appliances supplier. If you do not like the white washing machine, I bet they can arrange an exchange for you at a reasonable cost. They were very helpfull at The Jewels and made exchanges on fridges for lots of unit owners but you had to deal with them direct and not through Cayan.

Betterlife have a few classy showrooms in Dubai where you can view the range. Big one at Mall of Emirates.

Surely we would be better off to find out who is supplying kitchen units and get a door for integrated dish washer or washing machine so that units can be hidden and in line with the rest of the kitchen.. Whether you have white or gray washing machine it will look ugly... Betterlife must sell integrated appliances, I am sure.. We can do part exchange..

The other apartments are at quite an advanced stage. I guess they are waiting for theglass to be fitted. Most internal blockwork has finished, kitchens are delivered but not fitted. Tiling is underwa in some areas. All looking very good.

I think we can expect delivery sometime between June and September 2010 the way it is running now....

They call that The Address now and its open for business. The foyer is great quality but I never got to see the rooms. I think there are appts for sale and also hotel rooms. The gourmet tower is not open and the mall security said another 3 months at least.

Hey, Smith, where did you take the pictures from as, I thought, for that angle, there was no building on the other side. On the other hand, it looks too low for it to be a picture from a helicopter but then I am not a great photographer. What do I know?

Mock up apartments at Silverene and the unique Infinity tower are available for viewing on dedicated days of the week or through prior appointments.

Both Silverene and Infinity sites have witnessed phenomenal construction progress; as of last week of October Silverene has completed all slab work for Tower B and is on floor 28 of Tower A; at Infinity, construction has reached floor 27.

The towers are ideally situated on the marina front and enjoy great water views which can be seen when visiting the mock up apartments. Apartments in both towers offer fully equipped kitchens, built in wardrobes, high end finishes for bathroom accessories, large glass windows besides community amenities and retail stores on the marina promenade.

For appointments clients can contact Cayan Sales Team, on 04 361 9333.

Resales - people set their own prices or dictate their premiums ...

^^Same in Dorrabay, Halcon Real Estate offering 2 beds for sale at AED3M but I guess they don't need to sell just setting a pricepoint.

I prefer lower apartments on the waterfront with direct water views. High floors give you a view of the marina but it is not a marina view with close ups of boats as they sail past. Or should that be the other way around:lol:

#SR509A CAYAN Silverene Apartment 2 Panoramic Marina 1568 Sq.ft AED 3,887,220/-
#SR2407A CAYAN Silverene Apartment 3 Panoramic Marina 1979 Sq.ft AED 2,963,310/-

Why low floor, less sqft sized(2 bed) apartment is costing a lot more than a large sized 3 bed high floor apartment? whats the logic there?

Cheers

With the developments that are right on the water, such as this one, the best views are from the lower floors, and particularly when complete in certain developments low floors are much more sought after.
The easiest way to explain this is that it relates to the viewing angle when inside the apartment. Sitting in your lounge, what is the view out of the window? From a high floor, you often see only other buildings, an in fact to see the water at all you have to move towards the balcony. The lower floors have stunning water views from the lounge as you are that much lower.
There is also a much higher re-sale and rental demand for 2 beds over 3 beds in the marina.

The glass panelling has slowed down a bit or is it just my idea ?

[jeetha]

Looking at pictures taken on 2nd for Tower A
Then compare with pictures taken 6th for Tower A

I would say - glass panel progressing well to date.

Once they top out they won't have to compete for craneage with the concrete squad. Also works to completing the podium are making lay down space a premium.

Soon this will sort itself out and the glazing will speed up.

Both offers panoramic views. You mean to say that because of the low and high angle view difference (facing exactly same view) the difference in cost should be more than a million at less sqft size? hard to agree....

You certainly got a point. Of course then I do not know if the glass facade works will have to follow the completion of internal works as plastering, installation or others.

But anyway, I am not an engineer and I am totally satisfied with the overall progress and expectations of the project.

Today I saw a full page adv from Cayan to visit the show flats in Silverene.
It seems they still have apartmetns to sell. It would be nice to know at wich prices. Anybody knows?

I am just wondering shouldn't the showcase apartment be fully furnished? I was looking for some attractive pictures of the showcase apartment....
Cheers

[buster007]

^^
Yeap .. sort us out guys .. current pictures please of the show apartment - It must be furnished to be a show apartment.

[True Blue]

They are calling it a mock up, which suggests it is a sample prepared by the contractor for approval purposes. They may never furnish it but I can't be sure about that.

If they did, then the contractor would be within his rights to deem the apartment handed over to the developer and start the warranty period. Beneficial occupation is a sensitive subject so they have to be carefull about how they handle this.

[buster007]

Mock up apartment vs Show apartment - Amazing how we misinterpret things written in plain simple english.

Sounds like SP saying that they would provide provisions for Kitchen equipments in BC, as opposed to saying that the Kitchen would not be delivered fully equipped like most, if not all developments in the Marina.

Thats TB for highlighting this point - U know your game :cheers:.

Great update,

With the little glass that has been fitted so far, the building already looks stunning. I am really getting a feel for how they will look and am very impressed with the 2 tone glass.

I see in one of the pics that they are manually hoisting the glass panels due to lack of available crane time. Needs must:)

[charlie big potatoes]

Great update, looking forward to seeing this one next weekend, the progress is stunning.

[9714]

TB, panels are being hoisted with a monorail for the exact reason you mention. dont think i have seen the crane lift any CW panels. structural works look like completing at year end, so crane will be free for the rest to use.

[mpvinvest]

does anyone know why the ceilings are so high on what seems to be the 11th floor?

[9714]

^^L13 in Tower B and L17 in Tower A are mechanical plant floors. As such they are usually taller to accommodate big equipment.

[mamoon100]

How long would it take to construct the architectural fascade/roof above final residential floors (penthouses) and what would this comprise of i.e. only triangular reinforced concrete walls with a rc and/or glazed sloped roof and/or walls and floors, upper lift chambers etc...? Furthermore is a watertightness test performed within each apartment?

Simply amazing .. taking shape beyond believe .. Many thanks for the photo update.
Guess we should all budget asap for our final 30% payment .. this baby would be delivered much earlier than mentioned in our contracts, Dec 2010.

[True Blue]

So it is written in your contract that completion is December 2010?

Must be a mistake! I read this forum regularly and everyone says that "all projects have delays" and "all developers are the same".

I think it must be SP who are spreading these rumours:laugh:

[jeetha]

Anticipated completion date on my contract is 30th June 2010.
Looking at work at present I say that is achievable. In fact I don’t mind if it was December 2010.


June/July/August/September months are to hot for Dubai visit.

October/ November would be great.
:banana:

[True Blue]

^^Were you a pre launch purchaser to get that date?

Moving furniture in June is not funny, I'll ask them to slow things a little for you, sure they will accomodate.:)

[jeetha]

^^No! I bought just after (May 2007).

[BM Dubai]

June 2010? Surely this is impossible... More likely October/November 2010..

[mamoon100]

It was a pleasant experience from start to finish with great customer service throughout. The Cayan representative arrived right on time and after a short briefing, we set off from the clean and organised Arabtec portacabin offices taking the construction service lift upto the 3rd floor of Tower A. The rep was friendly and allowed me and others enough time to view the mock-up and other adjacent apts answering all our queries.

Although my contract stipulates June 2010 completion it is envisaged a Dec 2010 hand over potentially giving us a whole 12 months to raise the final 30%.

A few points:

1) Siemens freezer way too small - more so for a 2-bed apt!
2) Still unsure of the white coloured washing machine - not that I wish to reignite that debate!
3) Return glazing is an issue which cuts into the apt floor plan. This wasn't highlighted on the plan within my contract.

On the whole great finishes. Just like to know why the switches here are fixed so high from the ground?!

Today they started to remove the concrete placement from the roof of the smallest tower .

I see that there has been some debate about the colour of the washing machine which i have missed out, but i think we should agree that this is simply unnaceptable and that the subject should be raised with Cayan.At least i will.

Looking at the show appt, if the washer dryer in white is all we can fault. then bring it on. From the pics the finish looks great. Its the positioning of the washer thats a bit poor, obviously not enough space in this appt for a small utility room.

[charlie big potatoes]

TB whats your pref here. Tower A 2 bed 08 or 09? The 09 will have a bit of a yatch club view although they finish at 16 but balcony will enjoy evening sunset over jbr. 08 will have view up to tall block over the top of the GT. I am a bit concerned about buying so close to the mech floor as far as noise from the extract goes as we do use the balconies what ever the weather, and dont want to be too low down. Any thoughts? They are good size 2 beds at 1568 sq ft.

What did you mean by mechanical floor noise? if the noise is unbearable why would they build it in between the floors? I mean will it be to the extent that people living in foors above the mech floor can not even stand in the balcony???
