Hey........there's no need to be like that, Ines is only trying to be helpful to those looking to purchase here.

Blu mirage inbetween the buildings - Ines?

Does anyone know exactly what will be between the buildings of 1-2, 2-3, 3-4
And where the marina will be situated and what building will be able to see the marina.
And what has happened to the balconies? Only a few have balconies- this is a great shame that the developers have decided NOT to build balconies apart from a select. Any reason why?

It is very good to have somebody such as Ines on the forum as she has a fast track to the people with the answers you all need. This forum, however is for the free exchange of opinion and ideas and my concern is that it is being used as a platform for sales. Advertising should be done through the media designed for and approved for that purpose.

From the pictures on the marketing material, the Marina is right at front of the tower 1 & 2, i.e. in the middle of these two towers.

The balconies were always for 2 bed apartments. i didnt see any 1 bed with them.

Interesting to see that the tower 1 balconies for the the above type of properties are bigger than similar ones in tower 2.

If BM marina is going to be more than a marina to accomodate 1 boat I think it will be across 1,2 and 3 possibly 4.
Maybe Ines can confirm this. But if the marina is only between 1 and 2 then the mairna will be less than 30Meters in diameter. 30m is the estimated distance between the towers.

I think all the apartments should have balconies. It's a shame to have such a nice view with out anyway to enjoy the breeze or BBQ. Do you think we could influence the developer in anyway?

Yes i agree balconies will be nice.

When i went to the Xmas exhibition in London I was told that 5 of the towers in the BM complex have been sold and only tower 2 is left. This is also stipulated in their brochure, so how come they are selling tower 3 and 4. Has anyone else been told that.

Well, I was told they were not released. I.e. 5 & 6 was a hotel, and 3 & 4 was going to be serviced apartments. Only the tower 1 was sold... thats what i knew.

But, for the balcony, its very unlikely that any architectural change will happen at this stage. too late now.

And on Marina, it think this is not a full blown marina. it is going to be quite small, and the berths will be limited. So all you guys who have a boat, hurry now to reserve your space. This Marina is not going to accommodate all the residents of the BM.

Could we suggest this to the developers? Ines or Mohammad with the current rapport could mention and see what the response would be?
If wee get enough people on here agreeing we could potentially see balconies. Fromthe plans it appears most of theproperties can accomodate a balcony.

Ines - any luck with the marina contract?

al marjan island investment thinking?

i lived in Dubai for 2 years and ras al khamai and is an oasis of a county. i am also aware of the al marjan island which will compete very favourably with the palm in Dubai and only 45 minutes away. Many people i now are planning to move to this emirate as it offers far better tax incentives and privacy and al marjan island will be the most prestigious man made islands in the world.

Unlike dubai that dredged sand al marjan island is not thus allowing the sea to stay clean. i have invested in 6 properties to date on al marjan island and by far the most exciting development on the island will be the new 6 star marriott development previously known as aakar. This has only recently been announced but is positioned in the most favourable position with the most beach front for the size of the development.

i do not work in anyway with this development but advise smart investors to take a look at the aakar development that is being sold by http://www.7cinvest.com/uae/aakarmarjan.php

this is not the actual development as Marriott have now taken over but is going to be spectacular and wheras other developments are around the 1200 Dirham per square foot, this is similar, but is 6 star and is in a better location. Furthermore there are 2000 apartments in la hoya but there are only 300 exclusive apartments in this development making it very easy to sell on later. I know dozens of people who have bought terrible identikit apartments in massive developments in dubai and there is difficulty selling.

Anyone who has done the research will take a wide berth of la hoya and blu mirage as these are both in terrible locations at the entrance without facing onto a beach and not cheap either for what is being offered. There are also 1000s of apartments very close together. The marriott development is also surrounded by town houses and villas and will have a premium location and make rental considerably easier. the apartments also face south west so gets excellent light all day.

please do not take my word for it but definately worth looking into if you are looking to invest.

i would be interested to hear otehr peoples experiences or ideas on the al marjan island development as it will take off in the next 6 months as the interest picks up.

Hi Guys

I went to BM exhibition on Saturday and i couldn't believe the amount of people that were there for a single project. For all the people who have bought in this project give yourself a tap on the back as i think it will do well (only my opinion). BM definitely has the WOW factor.

Did anybody else go, what are your thoughts.

yes, BM is good, but i would not say the best in the al marjan. It is comparable with LHB. But anyway, both are very good developments. i cant say anything bad about them. For me the WOW factor will happen when the projects are complete. or atleast when we know exactly how the internal of the buildings will look. the inside is very important, and high quality finish is a must... for this we have to wait and see...

Positive

martinfields, shall we try to concentrate on the positives of the various developments. It is in the interest of ALL investors to show Al Marjan in a good light.

Has anyone heard form Ines regards to the marina and balconies? If we get a few more investors requesting the developer may accomodate this into the design. Please let me know
