Nakheel launches Jumeirah Heights


Nakheel, the UAE's leading real estate developer, yesterday launched an exciting new residential community designed with business professionals and young couples & families in mind.


http://www.ameinfo.com/images/news/7/41747-nakheel.jpg
Jumeirah Heights.


Jumeirah Heights, the new development represents one of the best opportunities to buy a home in one of the most desirable locations in Dubai.

Jumeirah Heights is a self-contained community of some 2,300 residences at the very heart of 'new Dubai', between Jumeirah Islands and Jumeirah Lake Towers. Construction began on the project in May 2007 and eventually it will become home to around 11,000 people.

At a time when demand for housing is at an all time high in Dubai, Jumeirah Heights brings a full range of residential options to this rapidly growing city. These range from spacious open-plan apartments and uber-trendy lofts and duplexes to townhouses - all incorporating the highest quality architecture and design. In this relaxed, peaceful and low-density community, residences are set across 20 hectares of land amid a backdrop of small lakes, water features and landscaping.

Jumeirah Heights is divided into three distinct areas - The Village Centre, The Fronds and The Clusters. In the first stage of development, the Village Centre contains two mid-rise buildings, consisting of almost 650 apartments and a variety of retail facilities including a supermarket, cafés, bank, pharmacy and a number of other outlets. A club house will welcome residents, while leisure facilities will include a swimming pool, a gym and a children's play area. The two fronds will each consist of two mid-rise apartment buildings and 17 townhouses. The two clusters will each house three low rise apartment buildings boasting two and three bedroom loft apartments with private gardens. Both the fronds and the clusters will offer a variety of leisure facilities.

Jumeirah Heights lies just off Sheikh Zayed Road near the popular Jumeirah Islands community. Two metro stations will be situated within easy reach by the time of the project's completion in 2010. This gives Jumeirah Heights a fantastic and convenient location within fifteen minutes of bustling business areas such as Dubai Internet City and Dubai Media City, the five-star luxury of beachfront hotels, bars and restaurants on and near the Palm Jumeirah and world-class shopping at Ibn Battuta Mall.

Mohammed bin Ghannam, Senior Manager, Jumeirah Heights said: 'We are thrilled to announce the launch of Jumeirah Heights - the newest member of Nakheel's Jumeirah Family. Following the success of Jumeirah Islands and the overwhelming demand at the launch of Jumeirah Park in late 2006, we are delighted to be bringing this new product to market, especially at a time when people throughout the UAE are looking for exactly this kind of property. The key aim with Jumeirah Heights is to provide choice - both in terms of the variety of residences on offer and the financing options. Jumeirah Heights will bring people who have been looking for a different kind of product to Jumeirah."

'More than this, we aim for Jumeirah Heights to provide what professionals and young families are looking for in Dubai. We believe we've created something different - from inspirational views and an easy journey to work in the morning through to some superb community leisure and residential facilities to come home to.'

Jumeirah Heights will provide residences for established professionals as well as for those who are taking their first steps onto the property ladder. With a recent report by MEED suggesting the property boom is likely to ensure investors a good return for years to come, and a Colliers International Report highlighting developers' increasing ability to offer more attractive financing options and incentives, the development will help more people make the leap from renting to owning their own property.

An exclusive launch was held yesterday (13th June) for invited customers of Tamweel, Dubai Islamic Bank and Nakheel, with demand exceeding expectation. The general sales launch will take place in the following few weeks. A wide range of finance options will be available with Loan to Value ratios of up to 90-95% available - a key factor for first-time buyers in particular. The date of the general sales launch will be announced shortly.

new completion date is 2010:)

WOuld they leave the water edges bare like that, or would (should) they build promenades?

It will be interesting to see if project is quickly sold out or not. The launch timing - right before summer break- is not so good. People no longer buy easily off plan. besides, 900 aed sqft looks already too high for a completion by end of 2010 (most realistically by end of 2011). Anyway, it will be a good indicator o fthe UAE property market.

Nakheel has said that, following a private launch last week, the public sales launch of Jumeirah Heights will take place on Monday, June 25 at the Nakheel Sales Centre. Jumeirah Heights, which will feature 2,300 residential units including apartments and waterfront townhouses, will be home to around 11,000 people. The private launch saw around 370 units sold in less than 24 hours.

Jumeirah Heights sales to open to the public

- Combination of choice, finance options and location proves popular at private launch
- 370 units already sold ahead of Monday’s public launch -


Dubai, 23 June 2007: Nakheel, the UAE’s leading real estate developer, has announced that following a highly successful private launch last week, the public sales launch of Jumeirah Heights will take place on Monday 25th June at the Nakheel Sales Centre. The private launch saw more than 370 units sold in under 24 hours.

Jumeirah Heights, which features 2,300 residences in a variety of types, styles and floorplans from stylish modern apartments and lofts to luxurious waterfront townhouses, will be home to around 11,000 people.

The wide variety of residential options will be complimented by localised retail and amenities. This, coupled with the range of financing options available and the location of the development, has led to the project being seen as ideal for business professionals and young families and newlyweds.

Nakheel launched Jumeirah Heights with an invitation to selected clients, and those of Tamweel and Dubai Islamic Bank. The organisations worked closely to develop a range of product offers that would suit and appeal to the target market, with up to 95% finance available to buyers.

Mohammed bin Ghannam, General Manager - Jumeirah Heights said:

“The combination of a specific target market, a range of finance options and of course the product offer itself, led to a highly successful launch of Jumeirah Heights. Based on past experience of our other successful residential projects, such as Jumeirah Park, we were expecting a high level of demand, but the result far exceeded our expectations. It’s clear that the choice on offer and the design of the community has struck a chord with those interested in investing in homes in Dubai.

“We are now proud to announce the public sales of Jumeirah Heights and are obviously hoping to repeat the initial success. We believe that Jumeirah Heights will attract business professionals and young couples and families who desire a range of options that provide spacious, open plan living in an ideally located community, with a range of financing options.”

Jumeirah Heights is divided into three distinct areas - The Village Centre, The Fronds and The Clusters. In the first stage of development, the Village Centre contains two mid-rise buildings, consisting of almost 650 apartments and a variety of retail facilities including a supermarket, cafés, bank, pharmacy and a number of other outlets. A club house will welcome residents, while leisure facilities will include a swimming pool, a gym and a children’s play area. The two fronds will each consist of two mid-rise apartment buildings and 17 townhouses. The two clusters will each house three low rise apartment buildings boasting two and three bedroom loft apartments with private gardens. Both the fronds and the clusters will offer a variety of leisure facilities.

Jumeirah Heights lies just off Sheikh Zayed Road near the popular Jumeirah Islands community. Two metro stations will be situated within easy reach by the time of the project’s completion in 2010. This gives Jumeirah Heights a fantastic and convenient location within fifteen minutes of bustling business areas such as Dubai Internet City and Dubai Media City, the five-star luxury of beachfront hotels, world-class shopping at Ibn Battuta Mall, and the wealth of tourism facilities coming online at The Palm Jumeirah.

did any one go to this launch? I missed it, should i feel guilty now?
was it busy or relatively empty?

and most importantly do you think this is a good buy for

a) short term appreciation
b) rent (10% or more)
c) not a good buy

P.S. where is the poll button?

I like the design of the buildings and the layout. My only concern is it looks like it going to have to much of one color.

^^

Agree JBR syndrome

Page up now http://www.jumeirahheights.com/

i think living there would be quite ok.

what they really need is a promenade.. :weird:

well too much of different colors wont be great either

Jumeirah Heights: background

The latest addition to the Jumeirah Family, Jumeirah Heights is a community of more than 2300 apartments and townhouses with a variety of localised retail and leisure amenities, in the heart of New Dubai.

With residential options of open plan apartments, lofts and duplexes, Jumeirah Heights is divided into three distinct areas - The Village Centre, Fronds and Clusters. The Village Centre contains two mid-rise buildings, consisting of almost 650 apartments and a variety of retail facilities including a supermarket, cafés, bank, pharmacy and a number of other outlets. A club house will welcome residents, while leisure facilities will include a swimming pool, a gym and a children’s play area. The two fronds will each consist of two mid-rise apartment buildings and 17 townhouses and a variety of leisure facilities for residents. The two clusters will each house 3 low rise apartment buildings boasting 2 and 3 bedroom loft apartments with private gardens and a variety of leisure facilities. More residential units will be announced at a later date.

With the expected population of Jumeirah Heights expected to primarily include business professionals and young families, Jumeirah Heights will perfectly accommodate a resident’s busy lifestyle with localised retail and amenities just a stone’s throw away. Situated only moments from bustling commercial hubs Internet City, Media City and the Jumeirah Lake Towers, Jumeirah Heights is an ideal investment for a business professional in search of easy access to the office or an addition to their property portfolio. An ideal mixed residential community, the development also meets the needs of financially stable young couples and newlyweds with two incomes looking to purchase their first home together.

The master plan has been thoughtfully designed to ensure buildings are spaced out to provide a feeling of openness. Residences are set amongst a backdrop of lakes, water features and landscaping. Combined with family amenities such as private gardens, swimming pools, children’s play areas and BBQ areas, Jumeirah Heights will be a relaxed, peaceful community conveniently located less than 15 minutes drive from key attractions such as Ibn Battuta Mall, Dubai Marina, Madinat Jumeirah and the 5* hotels of Jumeirah beach road.

I also saw the model today and took a few pics. However what surprised me was that Nakheel had the decency to warn the public that there are 45 floors tall towers in front of them.

That has never happened here, apart the Marina 101 that wasn't advertised to have a sea view despite the 412 meters of height and some 2-300 meters from the seashore itself.

^^ not bad at all, i blame flo for this..he was yelling during citiscape :D

it will be reflect dubai marina N JBR viewS so it's should one of intersting to all investors havin view toward JLT .

I could not understand why it is that much expensive. It is good but at the end, 1 Bedroom is around 1.7 m ( http://dubaihomesearch.com/search.php?orderby=price%7CASC&sales_type=Buy&currency=AED&project_name=Jumeirah+Heights ) which will be completed after 2 years. Just put 30% more and buy 1 bed from Burj Dubai instead and rent it out. Alternatively 1 bed from Greens with 1.3 m.

but why no progress from november on tower A, if they started constructions in same time?
On tower D great progress

Nice update Imre - you can see the parallel road project coming up nicely in the first pic. Access to JLT will be great soon!

but why no progress from november on tower A, if they started constructions in same time?
On tower D great progress

Is'nt the frond tower with the better progress tower A?, it should go A,B,C,D from the LEFT right? anybody know?

Is'nt the frond tower with the better progress tower A?, it should go A,B,C,D from the LEFT right? anybody know?

No it's tower D with better progress. It's numbered ABCD if look from Jumeirah Islands from left to right. I have appartment in tower A and i have exact information.

It's very strange - it seems like constructions on tower A and B stoped in beginning of december, from that time no progress. But tower C and D keep growing.

I have a 1 bedroom facing the lake, not JLT on the 12 floor in building A. there are only 6 of this kind in each building. I wanted to sell, if anyone is interested the OP is AED 859,400. PM me if interested

Please, people who living in Dubai, can you make photo update for the project.
Thanks

Construction Update from Nakheel June/2009


http://www.jumeirahheights.com/en/construction-updates/construction-updates.html

Hi,
I am hearing that Jumeirah Park may be delayed, any idea whether Jumeirah Heights will also be delayed.

Jumeriah Heights Development

Client: Nakheel

Actual Value: 250m USD

Consultants: Main Consultant: Turner International (Project Manager)

Category: Infrastructure

Project Duration:

From: Q4 2009 Actual
To: Q1 2011 Actual

Status: Tender for Construction Contract

Scope: The project calls for construction of roads and other associated infrastructure at Jumeriah Heights Development in Jabel Ali area.

Schedule: Nakheel has invited contractors to express interest in the main construction contract of infrastructure package. Construction is expected to be in late of 2009.

Nakheel have a poor payment track record for their current projects so who will work for them until this improves:dunno:

Maybe this will be funded from the AD bail out money.

after trying to get some info out of nakheel for project update for 1 month
i finally got a reply for them ...
as for now project is on time??? which is bull shit!
i live in jlt and can c there is no work on tower D fronds at all even the crains have been removed and for tower a work is progresing very slow..
no sign for tower c and b
as for nakheel they have taken 60% from most customers already and there have been little improvment in construction this yearr...
this is the performance of the biggest dvlpr here ... u can easily imagine what is goin on with private ones ...

Nakheel said last year that some projects will go on hold like Palm Deira & the Universe etc, but they will complete smaller projects.
But now they are putting on hold more smaller projects, some that are nearly complete. This is a signal that they have no money.. none.. nil...

The end is nigh!

I saw the site today, that tower cranes, core already removed, it seems the ASGC leaving the site now, going to be ON HOLD unfortunatelly.

US$250m for infrastructure work for the tender referred to above seems excessive for infrastructure. Presumably Nakheel has not paid the current contractor so maybe they are parting ways and the tender could be also to get a new contractor on site at lower cost to Nakheel??? for Fronds A and D and maybe the Clusters as well. I hope so anyway. Frond D at least struggled slowly from level 8 to 12 during the summer so I was hopeful it would somehow get completed. Any other Frond D buyers please PM me and we can swap notes. We have all paid 60% to Nakheel!!!!

Can i get more details...

I have an apartment in Frond D, with 60% paid-up...Delay may be a good thing for all of us. Don't have to pay any more money (I hope so), and we wait till demand is restored.

http://i31.tinypic.com/2aet8bo.jpg

Are the contractors still working on Frond A? Scenarios for Frond D
1. ASGC got fed up with Nakheel;or
2. Nakheel terminated ASGC and have not paid them;or
3. 2 above plus Nakheel retendering;or
4. Nakheel had already abandoned Fronds B and C. Maybe they are abandoning Frond D and will try to consolidate those buyers who are still paying to Frond A;or
5.Nakheel bust and we will all get frustrated trying to find out what is happening. It would be a disaster if they just try to offer credit notes as this is just palin dishonesty by Nakheel as such notes are practically worthless.

Dear Imre, thank you for your great pictures as always.

boom... gloom... boom... bust!

didnt imagine my first post would be so pessimistic... clusters owner... 90% paid up... no sign of hope here! :badnews::mad2:

anyways do stay in touch guys its time we form a group if not already formed let me know...

For the daring and the bullish guys out there... sale sale sale...

3bed duplex available for sale clusters west nice layout of 2830sqft pool facing.

:cheers1:

Incredible, a few years ago you were advised to invest in the big 3 (Nakheel, Emaar, Dubai Properties) to be sure your money would be safe.

Nakheel are, without a doubt, insolvent. However they will spend the next 12 months or so getting refinanced and will carryon and complete these projects.

The alternative is unthinkable.

its a shame my friends emaar and specially nakheel have come out as biggest frauds.... ive been calling , emailing nakheel for jumeirah heights updates for good three months and was succesful just once after which i never got reply(still waitin) i have paid 60% on fronds D and feel like a loser now with no construction at all .. even clusters which are almost complete have stopped?

Nakheel better fulfill there commitments or else dubai will be considered as biggest fraud of these times..

News!!
guys i spoke to relevant person in nakheel today and was informed that the construction on both tower D and A is now onhold. Nakheel is planning to continue with tower A or offer options???
the girl told me off the record that nakheel might offer ready to move in apartments ??
I think this is bullshit!! what if nakheel offer apartments in development like discovery gardens as compared to high end area jumeirah heights or what if they ask for high prices for the units they offer?
This is all part of nightmare we are about to face with our investments....
what a shame....

Shahzad Ahmad - see my private message to you.

i went to the clusters site and also entered a 3 bed duplex... seems quite expensive for what they are offering now... work seems to be progressing at slow pace... 1095 workers stationed as per the workboard info...

guys lets make a group of investors in this project... pm each other... time to get united... nakheel should be answerable for our queries...

Hello All,

I have just received a confirmation that Jumeirah Heights "fronds" is on hold and from my conversation with the concerned person it is most likely going to be cancelled so pls make a note of that. On the brighter side clusters are moving forward and hopefully will be delivered shortly.

T~

Tasif, thank you for the information.

I have not received any communication yet on my Fronds D 18th floor apartment.

If they cancel will they give us already constructed property somewhere else?

So the status of the fronds is that Frond A, B, and C are still at 1st or 2nd floor level. Frond D is upto 13 floors. Is this correct? I know only one person Imre could give us some feedback on this.

another tower crane going down and the contractor leaving that site as well.

amazing to put ON HOLD towers in this stage, it seams the Nakheel has no money , so the Palm Jebel Ali, Waterfront , Badrah, Veneto etc.. remain just a dream for a long.

Hope they have enough money for complete the lake allure!!!:bash:

The fronds are definitely on hold, only activity was contractor removing all their eqpt from the site, just one crane remaining, pics taken about 10 days ago.
There was plenty of activity on the cluster site, looks like they may finish these.:)

Fronds on hold.:ohno:

Spoke to an insider at Nakheel , I was informed that they want to renegotiate with the contractors at 30% less than they had agreed!!! So ofcourse the contractors are pulling off... Can you imagine we have paid in almost full and they not paying the contractors! So the investors will not be passed the benefit of lower cost if ever a new contractor does gets approved but all we ll get is low quality inferior construction!!!!

Can count 16 floors at the first picture !! Why we have no floor count here???!!!

Anyone?

Imre board picture...? :hm:

Wrote an e-mail !

Hope for response...

with 60% already paid i dont know till when we will have to wait like stupids to get an answer from nakheel ... m sure they will never return our money ... so now what ??
following is the reply that i got from nakheel a month ago

Thank you for your email and deeply apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
I have noted all your concerns in regards to your apartment on the Tower D at Jumeirah Heights. The works on the Tower D are temporarily on hold and we are unable to comment on the estimated completion date at this stage. If there are any further delays to the Tower D, we will update you accordingly.



Kindly bear with us until then and you may follow up with me for the same.





What A Shame

Hi Shahzad,

Have you contacted Nakheel lately. Any further updates on the Fronds project?

What A Shame

there are rumors that nakheel is offering swapping options to discovery gardens for its jumeirah heights fronds customers..??
is this true?
i have been told that project is onhold by some people in nakheel and they wont goahead in near future but no official communication..

I am being offered a 2 BR loft in Jumeirah Heights Clusters as consolidation towards my Al Furjan villa. From the pictures i have seen, construction seems to have quite far and i was told that handover should be in 6-9 months with the worst case scenario being an year. Price per Sft is roughly AED 1350.

Any idea as to what the situation here is? From what Shahzad has said, i am unable to figure out if its the Fronds that are on hold or if he is referring to the Clusters instead.

Thank you in advance for the info.

Regards.

The Fronds are on-hold.
Clusters will be finished in 2010, as too little left to finish there. But price per sq. ft 1350 is too much. Anyway it's better then 0-worth credit notes.

I'm worried about fronds, how they stoped constructions and put it on-hold when only 6 floors left to finish... I got information from Nakheel that they don't intended to finish Fronds in near future. :ohno:

Right, ASGC left the sites and removed all materials so its going to be ON HOLD for years I think.

It will be monument of stupid management of giant Nakheel :ohno:
It's pity i like this project - now we're in uncertain fog...

Its a such a tiny project! man im sure one of the smaller local players can finish in within a year if they let them! shame broad daylight stealing of our money! If you have taken 90% it clearly means they never put the money in any escrow. It was rather safe to put money on other local projects in JLT than with nakheel!

Right, ASGC left the sites and removed all materials so its going to be ON HOLD for years I think.

Imre, are you saying that the clusters are also on hold or just the fronds? Thanks in advance for the clarification.

At the clusters I saw workers but slow progress there , money is the problem.

^^ The optimist in me says that some work is better than no work! Thanks for the info.

^^ The optimist in me says that some work is better than no work! Thanks for the info.

i hope they deliver the same quality!!! :ohno:

any update on the swapping options..what properties are they offering . is it worth it

most of jumeirah heights is ready..its so crazy for them to stop itnow..

They have separate consolidation departments for each project. Since i was in Badrah, i was given the option to consolidate to Jumeirah Heights Clusters. Most of the 2 beds are sold out with only about 8-10 remaining with the rest being 3 beds priced at AED 2.7M (starting price).

They had an option to consolidate to a Discovery Gardens Zen building but i believe that one is done now. Apparently, they have a building at the perimeter of Al Furjan that is nearing completing and priced again at AED 2M + for a 2 bed, but that still isn't on the consolidation list. I was told that it might be on the options list sometime soon.

The last we spoke to someone at Nakheel, they r not giving appartments at Discovery Gardens also.
I dont understand whats the fate of this project.
I have a 2BR at Fronds D.
The Nakheel guys are not helping in anyways.
Please provide more inputs.
Is there a group?

Hi Imre,

Do you have any shots of the clusters? Your current pictures only show the Jumeirah Heights Fronds.

Thanks in advance.

No, I dont have , I was there today but I didnt see workers there , maybe lunch time or still holiday.

Some companies working just from 10th December , I will check again after the UAE National Day and will take pics as well.

^^ Thanks Imre :)

Overlooked sites for a week, totally deserted.

Same on my first pic on the background,it looks nothing there.

There is one building which looks done from outside but I didnt see any workers there.

That one is done or ON HOLD ?

i think they want to settle jumeirah heights investors for credit notes or discovery garden apartments, the biggest hurdle here would be morgage buyers.... and then they will statrt work later and give these apartments to clients of palm jebel ali and furjan , and vento.....
i request all those who are considering to settle for rubbish being offered like discovery gardens at high prices , just hold on. they have built 70% of the super structure for two towers that they have sold on the fronds. they will surely finish, its just a game they are playing.

Was in Nakheel sales office, was offered credit note, which is trash.
General situation: no funds to continue constructions, no information when any construction activities will start. Contractor demobilized from whole project including Clusters. :ohno:
Prices from Nakheel for Clusters start from 2.2 mio AED.
No offers to swap to DG or other project.

^^ Hmmm, interesting. I've actually been told that the Fronds are on hold but the Clusters are a go since almost 70-80% of the work is complete on those and hence the option to consolidate towards those. I got this information from the consolidation team and not the sales people and hence believe it to be credible.

Works on Clusters almost stopped as contractor not paid for a long time. What we have: Nakheel have 0 money, they will get any money after restructurisation of Dubai World, so it will take minimum 6-9months.
My position: to wait, not to take any credit notes which is trash. I'am sure that they will finish this project as it's 50-60% ready.
I understand that i will have to wait few years (2-3). For me it was long-term investment, so i'm ready to wait. There is no other options.
The other thing is that government trying to decrease unit number to hand-over, as if all units which planned will be delivered ontime it will be collapse of rent prices. There is many ways to delay and to put on-hold is one of them.

i agree with william and n punjabi .. the right thing to do is not to aceept trash from nakheel and wait till they re start and complete jumeirah hieghts ...

Any updates?

Still ON HOLD.

http://i48.tinypic.com/33a7779.jpg

Hi all...Does anyone have a contact number for RERA. Apparently Nakheel have violated law no.13 and not registered JH properties within the specified time.

Does anyone have any information on this?

They are above the law thats why you will not find any registered Nakheel's project wit the RERA.

has anyone met or spoken to nakheel in the last month regarding the fronds in jh?

everyone just keep sleeping, while nakheel riped us off
going one by one wont make any diffrence ..they dont give a shit about customers m sure every one knows that by now...
we should plan and go all together .. this way we might get some straight response..

I guess JH investors in Dubai sleeping, as when i came to Dubai special for Nakheel visit i posted photos and shared info which i got from Nakheel.
Why people who live in Dubai and who go to Nakheel don't share any info on this thread?
The problem is that people in Nakheel don't know situation, they don't know any plans. All they can do is: say nothing or telling lies.
I think we will get any real news about this project in september when full restructuring plans of DW will be known.

WilliamX, I might be able to get some photos soon. I'm not a JH investor, but I'm thinking about consolidating from Al-Furjan to JH, which is what Nakheel is now offering. Any advice for me?

I see the site every day, empty and nothing happening there.

And nothing will happen on site this year. But they will finish those commenced buidings on fronds in 2-3years, as only few floors left to finish.

to jsmiths6: everything depends on conditions, in some cases it's better not to do anything, not to transfer. For example if they offer 1 BR appartment in Jumeirah Heights clusters for 2.2 mio AED, while it cost maximum 700K, so in this case no need to do anything.

^^ I have already consolidated to JH clusters and quite honestly, it is one of the better deals available today. I took a 2 BR loft apartment (1853 Sft) for AED 2.3 Million. I had already paid AED 2 M to them from my previous investment (Al Furjan), so the balance is now payable at handover which quite honestly should not take them more than 6-9 months (worst case 1 year) from start to finish considering that the clusters are 80% done.

Imre, williamX, and docc, thanks for the comments. Further questions:

Imre: any idea when they stopped working?

williamX: if Fronds will finish in 2-3 years, any guess for the Clusters? Is there a preference for East or West Clusters?

docc: I really hope you're right, as I'm very much considering doing this. From my side, I was 20% into two villas in Al Furjan for about AED 6.4 m each, and last year consolidated down to one, but had to add 10%. So, now I'm into one villa for 50%, around AED 3.2 m. Obviously I way overpaid, but since I've overpaid, I'd rather reduce my exposure to this high price. It seems now that I have the opportunity to convert my 50% of one villa to 100% of one JH unit, which would mean theoretically Nakheel would owe me the balance in cash or some other form. In all cases, I will have paid too much, that's clear, so my priorities are as follow (not necessarily in order):

- reduce risk in the event that Nakheel or whoever owns their contracts in the future comes knocking and asks me to meet my commitments;

- actually get some property in exchange for the AED 3.2 m I've already given them;

- start earning some income on the property or start using the property.

I'm glad I've been able to reduce total exposure in Nakheel from 12.8 m to 6.4 m. As I've got 3.2 m paid in, my remaining current payment to them is 3.2 m. If I can eliminate any further payments, I would be happy of course.

Any advice on JH as a consolidation target would be much appreciated.

jsmith: works stopped in july-august 2009. About clusters i think they will finish it next year. Any constructions will continue only after restructuring of Dubai World.

jsmith6,

I highly doubt that Nakheel will offer you any balance refund upon consolidating to a unit in The Clusters. What they will most probably do is offer you a 3 BR unit which are around the 3-3.5 M price range. I have seen the floor plans on their website and these are duplexes and fairly spacious so i think that long term as an investment, they aren't a bad choice.

As for preference to the east or west clusters, the west cluster is more advanced in terms of construction and are much closer to completion (upon actually restarting work!).

Right now, the best thing for you to do would be to rid yourself of any future payments to Nakheel by consolidating to another property ASAP. Of all the available options (Lake district, Al Furjan residential buildings, plots on PJ, Marina Residence on PJ), the least investment for you would most probably be Lake District but The Clusters is definitely better value for money considering its location.

I'd advice you to have a word with the Al Furjan consolidation team in Nakheel who should be able to give you a few options. Good luck!

spoke to consolidation manager from nakheel, she told me that any news regarding jumeirah heights specially fronds is not expected before april ... by april we will be able to tell what is the future of this project.. m sure this has something to do with dubai world restructuring.. on the other hand nakheel signed initial contracts with JHT customer with completion date dec 2010 so they better officially clear there stance ...

^^ Thanks for the info. Did the person you spoke to say anything about The Clusters?

she said clusters are almost ready for the ones not started will be scraped i think..

^^ Great. Thanks again for the info.

docc and Shahzad Ahmed, thanks much for your information and advice. I will look into this and keep you posted once some action's taken.

Thank you very much Imre!
I guess they will recommence constructions on fronds someday :). I hope this day will come this year.

This is what to expect from Nakheel after 8 billion funding

Details of the Recapitalisation Plan


The plan provides customers and creditors with a fair and equitable recovery. It has been developed through complex and lengthy discussions with stakeholders and the Government.

Customers
- Nakheel will use a significant proportion of the funds provided by the DFSF to complete the construction of near-term projects. Nakheel will provide customers with clarity on completion and handover dates of those projects;
- Nakheel will continue to offer customers invested in longer-term projects the option of receiving credit equivalent to 100% of their installment payments and swap into projects nearing completion at today's market value.

Those customers invested in longer-term projects that do not want to exchange their property for a property in a development nearing completion will be offered the option of a revised payment schedule or the option to hold the assignable credit for five years.

Customers would be able to swap the credit during this period for property or land, or for cash at the end of five years. The credit would carry no interest.

Guys i think and hope fronds tower a and d will be classified as short term and rest all fronds will be considered as long term :(

I'm hoping that The Clusters too are a short term project since most of them are more than 60-70% complete.

Thanks Shahzad. i think you are right re fronds a and d. Please keep us updated on any news as i am out of the country and cannot get hold of Nakheel.

Does anyone have a direct contact for Nakheel for the fronds?

I also switched from Al Furjan phase 2 to cluster in JH. Took a 3BR duplex for 2.9.

Actual market value if it was ready I estimate at 2.4 so I loose 500K.

Al Furjan phase 2, IF IT EVER WOULD BE READY, market value might be same same, 2.5 - 2.7 but it has an O.P. of 3.4. Plus it won't be finished for a long time.

So I am happy, for now, now lets see when they will start construction again :-)

By the way, I can confirm that the clusters have priority above the fronds.

well it is confirmed that clusters in listed a short term and work will begin shortly ... unfortunately fronds have been listen as long term including tower A and D .. now this is funny these two tower are half way done but nakheel is insisting that they dont have any immediate future and the best option is to
1) take a credit note and wait for 5 years with no interest if customers want cash back.
2) move to clusters duplex price from 2.3 mill or al masakin project which is a discovery to me this project is some where in al furjan and is almost complete prices starting from 1.2 -2.1 mill ..

guys please give me your feedback .. is this another game from nakheel do u think fronds tower A and D will not be completed or they just want people to move and in a year or two will restart this project??

SmallM, I'm in the process of the same. The 2.9 million price is the same price I'm looking at. Do you know if that's the same as OP? If so, that's different unsurprisingly from some of the press that's been out there saying Nakheel investors have the chance to consolidate into other units at discounted prices.

Hi Shahzad!
It's real scam from Nakheel! I was sure 100% that tower A & D must be short-term projects, as only few floors to finish whole building.
I have no comments!

Hi Shahzad,

Thank you for the info. Out of curiosity, what is the source of your info?

@ william bro im also very disappointed ..this is my life time savings, 5 years is a lot of time and i really dont knw how will i manage..

my source is medina who deals with jumeirah heights in nakheel after sales

funny thing is no one can do shit when it comes to nakheel the girl would smile and say sorry sir you are screwd ... we cant do anything and we have no info reg future.. so f>c..k off...

SmallM, I'm in the process of the same. The 2.9 million price is the same price I'm looking at. Do you know if that's the same as OP? If so, that's different unsurprisingly from some of the press that's been out there saying Nakheel investors have the chance to consolidate into other units at discounted prices.

No idea if it is the same price but it reduces my liabilities with 500.000 AED and I also believe a nice 3BR with great view in Heights has more value then 3BR townhouse in Al Furjan, especially since Al Furjan phase 2 is years from being build so most probably they will shift you in another house then your original......you can end up next to Al Khail road.

I believe this is much better, but of course still not good.

Hi Shahzad. With reference to the fronds, what is defined as long term? Does that mean that they have cancelled the project and we are forced to take another option or can we hold on?

Still ON HOLD

well as long as my understanding in concerned .. long term means we can get 100% refund as nakheel promised after 5 years before that we can opt for credit notes which is trading at 50% value.. that means on whatever we have paid we will incur loss of 50% ,if we want cash now.. or else wait for 5 years and get original sum back with no interest ...
for fronds nakheel is sayin that the project is on hold and they have no idea when it will start again and who will start it again..

Dear Fellows, who located in Dubai!
Is there any news on Jumeirah Heights Fronds?
I still can't believe that Nakheel put it as not prioritized project, as 16 floors already built and only few floors left to finish...

From my obsevations... there has been no progress for a long time.

Hi all,

I am new to Skyscraper but have been following Jumeirah Heights for quite some time now. We have both apartment in frond and cluster and are trying since last year to consolidate in another property of ours on PJ.

We have had endless meetings with Nakheel, they don't care. Now they keep on saying cluster is short term, bla bla bla bla. Fact is nothing is progressing and by now they are in breach of contract for clusters which ought to be finished by June 2010 (given one year extension).

Is anyone of you in the same position - or knows anyone who was able to consolidate a cluster apartment?

Pics for Docc as requested, no activity on clusters or heights.:ohno:

Hi Khan

I have heard people saying it almost impossible to get anything back from Nakheel! Have anybody succeeded in getting his/her money back?

Regards

I bought in the Fronds in Jumeirah Heights direct from Nakheel and a few months ago found a seller in the secondary market behind in payments on Marina Residences on the Palm which at that time was about to hand over. So I bought it then had my Fronds credit transferred to that Palm property and now have a completed property rented out. Far better than the overpriced unbuilt crap Nakheel was offering by way of consolidation in the Clusters. It took my agent 3 months to find the property but it just puzzled me why others were not trying to do the same. I did not post about this at the time as my agent took 3 months to locate a property and I didn't want competition bidding for the same property. Anyway if I were you I would at least ask Nakheel if there are any buyers in Marina Res still awaiting handover and not paid up or get a good agent to ask about it. The above won't work if you bought in the secondary market unless you want to lose your premium. Good luck but think laterally as Nakheel won't do the thinking for you.

well consolidating in a completed unit is a good idea but not of all got enough money to grab a marina residence unit... marina residence were much higher then jumeirah hieghts units..
@ Khan u cant really trust lawyers there are not many cases in which customers have got decisions against nakheel.. check ur contract if completion date is mentioned like 2010 mar or 2010 dec etc u have a strong case but if the last payment is on completion then unfortunately you are one of the unlucky people ..who nakheel doesnt really cares about..
i had a unit in jht with completion date in contact mentioned 2010 mar but later i transferred that unit to someone else name nakheel very smartly change the final payment to (on completion)....
in this case nakheel knows that there s nothing much customer can do and they are least concerned..

Nakheel to restart six projects
Angela Giuffrida
Last Updated: August 17. 2010 8:50PM UAE / August 17. 2010 4:50PM GMT
Nakheel will resume work on at least six projects by early October as it settles outstanding bills with contractors.

The developer, which is owned by Dubai World, is restructuring US$10.5 billion (Dh38.56bn) owed to banks, contractors and service providers.

Contractors last month started to receive payments from the developer the Palm islands, paving the way for resumption of stalled projects around the emirate.

“Nakheel is currently engaging contractors in the short-term projects with a view to continuation in the coming weeks,” the company said. “We expect that all short-term projects will be fully mobilised by early October 2010.”

In late June, Nakheel said it had reached an agreement with 75 per cent of its trade creditors and pledged to settle Dh4bn of claims by the middle of last month.

Ali Rashid Ahmed Lootah, the chairman of Nakheel, said the company was dealing with 1,000 trade creditors. Companies including Arabtec Construction and Halcrow, a UK engineering firm involved in the Palm Jumeirah, have confirmed they received initial payments from Nakheel.

Among the first projects likely to resume are Jumeirah Park, Al Furjan, Jumeirah Village, Jumeirah Islands Mansions, Jumeirah Heights Clusters and Al Badrah.

Ziad Makhzoumi, the chief financial officer of Arabtec, which stopped work on Al Furjan in January, said recently the project would restart soon.

In March, Nakheel received about Dh33.05bn of fresh funds from the Dubai Government through the Dubai Financial Support Fund to revive stalled projects and settle some debt.


In a letter sent to property investors in Jumeirah Golf Estates in May, Nakheel said some of the money would also be used to finish parts of the development that were close to completion.

But the fate of longer-term developments such as Palm Jebel Ali is unclear. Hundreds of investors who bought homes on the reclaimed island are hiring a law firm to represent them as they seek negotiations with Nakheel.

Aarti Chana, a spokeswoman for Palm Jebel Ali Homeowners, said Nakheel had informed investors the project could be delayed for between five and 10 years.

Anyone heard any more news on this? Any signs of work getting started over there?

No any news, no any activity.
Best scenario if Nakheel will restart works in october-november at Clusters.
Fronds are on-hold and future of fronds indefinite. I don't understand why Nakheel put Fronds to long-term projects while it's 60% built - few floors left to finish.

Any news about handover of this project yet?

Difficult to guess anything..

Some works going on at The Cluster's only, The Fronds still ON HOLD and nothing has started at the Village Center , that part a bit flooded :)

As I see from outside, some parts of The Cluster's can be ready this year.

i was in Nakheel sales office 2 weeks ago: Fronds is on-hold on indefinite period, they do not plan to continue constructions there next 5 years. It's very strange - 16 of 22 floors already built.

I guess Clusters will be handovered in march-april next year.

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.

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.

Handover beginning. Got this note today:

· Only one snag list will be accepted during the 30 day notice period
· The Snagging time allowed is a maximum of 2 hours per property

Best regards,

Hello there,

I just completed the snagging check and first visit to my duplex in bldg A west. What a let down is all I could say. After 3 year delay still the property in anything but ready for handover. No signs of landscape swimming pool or any amenities. Nakheel just needs our payment and give us the handover. There is no way I could stay there in its present condition or even put it up for rent.

Regarding the finishing inside the appartment, its very poor, cheap and tacky honestly if I sourced materials from the Dragon market we could get better finishing. For a 3million plus property its a joke. Anyways I went there for formalities and was never expecting anything great from Nakheel.

Hope I didnt come across very negative but without any prejudice this is a genuine review. Only consolation is even after the delay we got the property and now welcome to the new issues of "Service Charges" "Cooling Charges" "Rera Charges"

Cheers

I'm actually surprised that even completed one of the buildings, not surprised about the el-cheepo finishing though :ohno:

Thanks for the report. Can you give details of the cheap finishing? What did you find for the snag list?

I agree. I went there last month and the finishing was not up to the expectations and the amount of money we paid....

Specifics?

To Ritshs
I own 3 bedroom duplex in the same building and my snagging appointment is next Thursday. Any hints from your side? Have you seen major issues that I should note too? And have you hired 3rd party inspector?

I went there alone. You will have a team of the contractor and consultant along with nakheel member. I went through the apartment along with their team, check all the wardrobes, rooms , toilets etc you will surely notice if something is amiss. Mostly theres nothing much to see, in my case I just noted things like dirt inside cabinets and all nothing major.

Concerning the specifics of quality: Everything is cheap right from the wood used for cabinets , doors to the flooring and overall building. I have properties from other developers and you can notice the difference instantly for eg Emaar apartments are much better in overall finish. Also UP delivers quality. Emaar and UP even have furnished kitchens, in here you get nothing!

Mustafa, on the comments please stress the fact that you will take the delivery only after the swimming pool and clubhouse is ready. I did write it very clearly and also mentioned it to the Nakheel person.

We did today the snagging of 3 BR duplex I think the finishing is ok, we had no major issue only small things, mostly painting/cleaning and small fixing..

Layout also good for this apartment.

Thanks for the photos Imre!
Does anybody recollect during the sales the brochures clearly mentions "Australian Downlights" and its written for the living room. When I inquired its absence the nakheel lady told me we will give you only whats mentioned in the contract. :)
