there is, but not as widespread as Dubai. You Dubai guys have a very closed mind about the Capital!

ta, i hope this one doesnt sink, slide or fall apart like u mentioned in ure Dubai is dangerous thread. im gona have to look into this building standards thing a bit more. but i remember my frend whos a chartered surveyor warning me about the longevity of dubai construction given the climate.

juiced · April 7th, 2005, 04:23 PM

I can personally say the construction quality is terrible

Good luck with your purchase

Have a look at the www.nakheel.ae website and look at the map, you should be able to find both projects on the same map

Dubai_Steve · April 7th, 2005, 05:26 PM

Marina, Palm and JLT construction quality is excellent. Dont know about cheap developments like discovery gardens. I ithink juiced is just being negative for the sake of it. The same construction engineers are being used for Burj Dubai (tallest tower in the world) so i doubt that build quality is bad or unable to withstand the heat! LOL

juiced · April 7th, 2005, 06:52 PM

They are excellent, but a certain 40+ tower beachfront development that hints it is along "Jumeirah Beach" isn't very good quality.

FWIW · April 7th, 2005, 07:38 PM

Juiced,

What do you know about the quality of JBR? Please tell me!

From the companies awarded the contracts, I would say that they are all good companies, especially ArabTec and Al Habtoor.

Also the Project Management team are Mace International, which I also hold in high regard.
Some info is here:

I have purchased a few apartments at JBR back in pre-launch days when they were selling them for around 699,000 dhs... (now they are around 2.2) I feel they will continue to rise after completion date (which was originally set to Dec 2005) however I am certain these will be delayed to the first quarter of 2006 as I just came back from dubai and they are on the 19th floor, approximately of my tower. The companies are very reliable and there is no real "risk" as far as the companies are concerned (on the JB side). The investment itself, thats a different case.

Does anyone know about the "Executive Tower" plot Y3 by Home Builders. I think this is still waiting approval however I am weary about my investment here and need some more information regarding the Executive Tower in Jumeirah Lake Towers plot Y3.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

soennecken · April 8th, 2005, 05:12 AM

weary????? its gone from .699 to 2.2 and you are weary........there is only one option for you..... sell and run.

ragga · April 8th, 2005, 12:19 PM

no, im weary about the executive tower deal. I am not worried about JBR as i know it will continue to rise. Please advise regarding Executive Tower.

Thanks.

DUBAI · April 8th, 2005, 12:45 PM

how do you know it will rise!

the buble could burst at any point

sell sell sell sell! when they are completed, like the palm j, i have a feeling a lot of people may find that they didnt get quite what they thought they would!

Dubai_Steve · April 8th, 2005, 12:49 PM

Either keep it and watch it double in price over the next 5-7 years to 4.4

or sell now and put a deposit on 2 new apartments which will both double in 5 years.

arfie · April 8th, 2005, 12:56 PM

Executive tower is done by home builders. The apartment is way over priced plus the quality is probably going to be crap as its being done by Home Builders. This is not a good investment as there are alot of cheaper and better apartments in JLT than Home Builders.
