Emaar unveils Standpoint residences on Burj Dubai Boulevard at Downtown Burj Dubai
Located on Burj Dubai Boulevard, the vigilantly designed Standpoint offers residents a fresh and distinctive perspective to modern living, offering an array of lifestyle choices.

Located on Burj Dubai Boulevard, the two Standpoint towers are situated in close proximity to Burj Dubai, the world's tallest building. Standpoint also offers residents easy access to already-active retail and hospitality offerings, with the Souk al Bahar mall and The Palace, Al Manzil and Al Qamardeen hotels, positioned either side of Burj Dubai Boulevard.

Creating a surplus of perspectives, Standpoint contrasts contemporary exteriors with classic interiors, emphasized by specially chosen motifs and materials. The sweeping facades of the towers maximize views over Downtown Burj Dubai while minimizing sight-lines to adjacent apartments, enhancing residents' privacy. Potential home-owners can choose from studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments with several institutions offering easy home finance options.

Mr Saif Al Mansoori, Sales Director, Emaar Properties, said: 'Downtown Burj Dubai is already bustling with life, and offers residents several community-based lifestyle options. Souk Al Bahar, a spread of colourful Burj Dubai Boulevard activities and the three world-class hotels that are now operational provide a distinctive flavour to living in Dubai's newest community. Emaar has already handed over homes at The Residences and The Old Town, and residents at Standpoint can look forward to a vibrant living environment that is now the new heart of the city.'

The Standpoint residences serve as ideal homes for the younger generation, who value living in one of the most dynamic environments in the city. Entry to the buildings will be through a secure and spacious lobby, and residents will benefit from assigned underground parking, a modern gymnasium, a swimming pool, outdoor poolside amenities and multi-purpose room. The suites feature 9 ft ceilings in principal rooms accentuating an atmosphere of light and space. Quality finishes, tinted double-glazed windows, and modern kitchen and bathroom fittings are standard inclusions within all units.

With its central location on Burj Dubai Boulevard, residents at Standpoint can enjoy varied aspects of downtown living. Residents can look forward to art and cultural events, enhanced shopping experiences and ease of access to the rest of Downtown Burj Dubai including The Dubai Mall, one of the world's largest shopping and entertainment destinations. The homes are also in proximity to the business nerve-centres of Dubai including the Dubai International Financial Centre, and Sheikh Zayed Road.

Standpoint will open for sale on January 19. Potential investors can call toll-free on 800-EMAAR (800-36227) for more details.

Downtown Burj Dubai is Emaar properties' flagship mega-project worth Dhs73bn. The mixed-use development comprises residential, commercial, hospitality and leisure units set around an expansive lake and a boulevard.

Does anyone have details on their payment plan?
5% on booking, 15% after 3 months, and then 15% of every six months, as was discussed during the launch, this morning.:cheers::)

They're not expensive at all, when you think about it for more than 2 seconds.

Agreed.
I guess they are busy from local demand to even consider international investors.
I'm in Dubai early March. Let's see what's left till then, (if the Mrs allows it!)

How ugly are these two????? :doh:

More than twice the price of the Marina. Interesting to think that you could have bought a garden villa on the palm at launch for the price of a 2 bed apartment here now.

SOLD OUT everything:)

^^ insanity...ugly prices

^^Only insane if nobody buys them.....sold out in 24 hours?!

yes, was there today, nothing available...

^^Wow:lol:

dammm it ....

hopefully some units will be availble (few at least) in the coming weeks. I don't believe it when Emaar claims everything is "sold out"... I'd definitely invest here.

Anyone knows what is the exact location?

One of my friend told me just now that In the morning 1 br is between 2.25 to 2.35, in the afternoon,her client bought 1 br 797 sq ft for 2,811,888.

Emaar Properties records sell-out success for first Standpoint tower

Dubai, UAE; January 24, 2008: Buoyed by the demand for homes within Downtown Burj Dubai, the ‘new heart of the city,’ Emaar Properties recorded sell-out success for the Standpoint launch. The Standpoint residential units, comprising studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, were sold out following huge customer turn out. Offering a fresh perspective to modern living, Standpoint is a two-tower residential project located on the Burj Dubai Boulevard and opens doors for residents to a vibrant new lifestyle.

Mr Saif Al Mansoori, Sales Director, Emaar Properties, said: “The overwhelming customer turnout and the sell-out success of Standpoint reiterates the status of Downtown Burj Dubai as ‘the lifestyle destination’ in Dubai. With homes already handed over to home-owners at The Residences and The Old Town, and three hospitality projects – Al Manzil, Qamardeen and The Palace, Old Town - up-and-running, Downtown Burj Dubai is brimming with lifestyle activities. The opening of Soul Al Bahar, a mall inspired by Arabesque design elements, and Burj Dubai Boulevard activities assure further choices in retail and leisure for residents.”

He added: “The central location of Standpoint with easy access to Burj Dubai, the world’s tallest building, and The Dubai Mall, one of the world’s largest shopping and entertainment destinations, is another of its selling points. Standpoint’s elegant architecture, which creates a surplus of perspectives and featuring contemporary exteriors and classic interiors, adds to its appeal.”

The sweeping facades of Standpoint maximize views over Downtown Burj Dubai while minimizing sight-lines to adjacent apartments, enhancing residents’ privacy. Standpoint homes are ideal for the younger generation who value living in one of the most dynamic environments in the city.

As an iconic destination and a hub for shopping, entertainment and leisure activities, Downtown Burj Dubai continues to be a strong-buy for potential home-owners. Customer response to the recently launched Clarens and 29 Burj Dubai Blvd has been consistently strong, and more residential towers are being launched shortly.

Downtown Burj Dubai has already created a new buzz with an array of Boulevard activities held in the past months that brought together residents in a celebration of the spirit of community living. These festive events also highlighted the evolution of Downtown Burj Dubai as a lifestyle destination already, and provided a sample of the community buzz that awaits residents. Downtown Burj Dubai has already earned its position as a meeting point for people, and more Boulevard activities will be held in the coming days.

Downtown Burj Dubai is Emaar’s flagship mega-project worth AED 73 billion (US$20 billion). The mixed-use development comprises residential, commercial, hospitality and leisure units set around an expansive lake and boulevard.

Developer Sees Property Market Rebound
Aneela Batool


9 March 2009
DUBAI - Memon Investments, a Dubai-based property developer, forecasts that the UAE’s stricken real estate market will start to recover within the next eight to 12 months.

The key factor in Memon’s projection is the federal government’s $20 billion bond programme, which Memon Investments Managing Director Ahmed Shaikhani called “a tremendous development” that will make funds available to cash-strapped real estate firms now burdened by debt.

“It should also provide a more upbeat atmosphere to the sombre tone the economy, particularly the construction sector, has taken,” he said on Sunday. “By helping to ease up the tight liquidity in the Dubai market, the construction industry should pick up, as delayed or cancelled developments are breathed with new life, and plans for new projects start to materialise.”

Another factor in Memon’s forecast is that construction costs per square foot in the UAE have declined by an average of 30 per cent since the onset of the current economic crisis. Lower construction costs should make the prices for completed projects more affordable and eventually help stimulate demand, Shaikhani said.

“Industry experts point to the massive drop in the prices of steel, and other materials including aluminium, wood, glass and diesel. The declining cost of labour and supervision due to recent redundancies and terminations has also contributed to the dip in construction expenditures,” he said.

Emaar Properties, the UAE’s largest real-estate developer, is slashing purchase prices on a Dubai residential project by 25 per cent after cutting its building costs. Emaar has cut costs at its Standpoint residential project in the downtown Burj Dubai area and will pass those savings on to customers, Bloomberg reported Emaar as saying on Sunday. The price reduction will be based on the original purchase prices and will be available to customers who have paid all their installments on time or who can clear all their debt within 30 days from March 5, the report said.

Memon said it expects to meet its completion targets for its own projects, starting with the Dh75 million Champions Tower I, due for delivery by the end of this year. Memon values its overall residential and commercial property portfolio, which includes the Frankfurt Sports Tower I and the Cambridge Business Centre, at around Dh1.34 billion.

“Dubai has been hit by the financial crisis, and is now experiencing correction, with prices getting adjusted as per the laws of demand and supply,” Shaikhani said. He added, however, that “the fundamental framework of Dubai is still very much intact; hence, there is great potential for the market to bounce back sooner

Emaar are offering 25% discounts on units in Standpoint. Is anybody effected by this?

Original Payment Plan

19-JAN-2008 5%
30-MAY-2008 15%
30-NOV-2008 20%
30-MAY-2009 20%
30-NOV-2009 20%
30-MAY-2010 20% Completion

Most of the owners are 30% paid and have not paid 30-NOV-2008 payment of 20%

It will be interesting to see what option(s) Emaar will give to these owners who are at default according to the contract.

These apartments were originally sold at approx. Dhs 3,000 per sq ft and current market value may be half.

Its a bit too late for the discount. If many have not paid the Nov 2008 payment (their bank loan would have been cancelled) then even if the wanted to get a loan most banks are not giving out loans to unfinished apartments.

Anyone owner can go EMAAR and take 25% discount for price and change payment plan.

still U/C but only 155 workers left , going to be very slow ..

Why are they struggling with building such small towers (relatively) in such a prime location is beyond comprehension.

Why are they struggling with building such small towers (relatively) in such a prime location is beyond comprehension.

Blizzy, absolutely.

Yet as I posted earlier, towers such as "Private Offices" continue where there is an absolute glut of commercial premises already (ie Business Bay, Tecom etc)

Commercial property will also be on a low AED/per sq/ft. so I just wonder who is behind this project that drives it on when all around is dead?

so is it on hold for a fact or its slow construction?

On hold (unless something changed very recently, which I doubt).

shame! they had transferred so many credits of the cancelled towers to stand point and still they cant build it! they should just scrap all projects and tell us to go to hell atleast its better than uncertainty! downtowns DOWN! RIP

Private Office is built by someone else altogether.

I'm surprised this isn't progressing when burj dubai is (well, maybe that's an exception) and also their projects at the marina. I think once those marina projects are finished Emaar will resume construction here.

The site is locked down but equipment is still onsite. I expect when the Burj and Lofts is completed, work will start again.

However, they have removed the concrete pump from the north tower.

Anybody knows a good site to upload pictures, let me know and I'll put a few up.
