#PROJECT: DUBAILAND [PART 2]

[arfie]

I have a DVD of what projects are going to be involved in Dubailand and City of Arabia exclusively done by the developer.

If anybody wants a copy just drop me a PM.

[dubaiflo]

if you are talking about the general CoA and Dubailand dvd's the videos have been posted here already. i got them both.

oh i loved to play roller coaster tycoon.

I heard they will have parks like six flags. More than one. But I am suprised that they havent started. It seems they are concentrating more on housing. But people are buying the apts and house because they are expecting dubai to be tourist city if that doesnt materialize then housing will be a loss. Since the majority plan to rent theirs.

Does anyone know when they plan to start construction of the parks such as Legends and Pharoahs ?

[Nasrawi]

I dunno. An old article says Phase 1 of Falcon City is supposed to be ready in 2007 (I doubt that), but I don't know what Phase 1 involves. Maybe infrastructure.

Official site of Pharoah's Park - very professional looking

Official site of Legends Park - not much info

[Nasrawi]

News report from July 2006:

"Initial ground work for the basic infrastructure has already started. Developers aim to open the Legends of Arabia theme park and the Living Legends freehold residential and hotel area in 2008, with remaining sections scheduled for completion by 2013."

OMFG! Al Bawadi will have 30,550 hotel rooms in total!

Since there are other hotels (or any other forms of temporary accomodation facilities) planned in other parts/areas of DubaiLand apart from Al Bawadi, don't you think this is rather too ambitious/too much (well beyond any realistically approachable future tourism prospect for Dubai)?!

Again, I'm not a pessimist...rather a REALIST. So don't hate me, please.

[dubaiflo]

according to the govt expecatitions we need all those hotel rooms..

Damac launches Dh1 billion development in Dubailand
Khaleej Times - 20/12/2006


(MENAFN - Khaleej Times) DUBAI — Damac, Dubai's largest private property developer, yesterday launched its first project in Dubailand. The Dh1 billion ($367 million) development comprising seven low-rise office buildings and built in Greek-style architecture, will be completed in 2009 — 20 months after Damac gains access to the land, said CEO Peter Riddoch.


Two buildings — Paros and Santorini have already been launched for pre-sale, and demand has been "very strong," said Riddoch. The other office buildings are Andros, Amorgos, Los, Milos and Naxos, three of which will launch for pre-sale within the week, added Riddoch. He also said he expected 60 per cent of the properties to be sold before they go public.

The seven office blocks, each of which has retail space at ground level, are being built in the shape of a necklace, following guidelines given by the master developer. Named after a large group of Greek Islands in the Aegean Sea, The Cyclades, is being built in the Arjan development, a mixed-use project launched by Mizin, a member of Tatweer, itself is part of government-owned Dubai Holding. Located on Emirates Road, the business and commercial centre of Dubai, Arjan is also close to the Arabian Ranches and Dubai Sports City. Arjan is being developed with expected investments of Dhs 20 billion over the next three years.

Dubai has launched many property developments in Dubai and an increasing number across the region. Although the bulk of the company's portfolio is residential "we are seeing increasing demand for commercial development", said Riddoch. Asked how it was financing its steady stream of projects — it has a portfolio of 52 towers worth over Dhs15 billion — Riddoch said the finance was coming from internal sources, bank loans and strong pre sales. "Pre-sales are very good," he said, adding that "when the time is right Damac will look for a public listing".
