#NEVER BUILT: AL-SHARQ TOWERS, 2x35F Res (Najmat Abu Dhabi)

Dar Al Dhabi will build six towers at Al Reem Island




on Saturday, May 17, 2008

The latest entrant into Abu Dhabi's real estate sector, Kuwait-based Dar Al Dhabi Real Estate, will start constructing six towers at Al Reem Island late this year.

Abdulwahab F Al Ameer, Board Chairman and Managing Director, said Dar Al Dhabi has already received the land for the projects from Tamouh, the master developer of Al Reem Island.

All of the six towers will be at least 300 metres high and will range from 75 storeys to 85 storeys, said Al Ameer. The price per square foot will be from Dh2,200 to Dh2,600, depending on the height and location of the building, with the price being the highest in the towers overlooking the Gulf waters.

"Some of the towers are on the seafront while others are beside the marina and five-star hotels," Al Ameer said. They will be completed between 2010 and 2012.


He added that Dar Al Dhabi is the first real estate company from Kuwait to participate in this year's Cityscape in Abu Dhabi as the company felt the UAE capital is the best site in the Gulf to invest in at the moment, especially in real estate, thanks to the strong infrastructure in the emirate and the provision of allowing foreign ownership.


Al Ameer said Dar Al Dhabi has not tied up with any single bank to offer finance for the purchase of its projects. Instead, it has managed to bring together several banks for this purpose to give buyers freedom to deal with the banks they already bank with.

While refusing to reveal the prices of the units Dar Al-Dhabi was selling, Al Ameer said they were competitive and took into account the rise in prices of building materials in the UAE, particularly Abu Dhabi.

"And the prices we set for buyers are final; we will never raise them even if the cost of building materials were to double," he said.

Total sales reach AED 1.55 billion
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, 13th May 2008: After debuting the first phase of the Dar Al-Dhabi Project at Cityscape Abu Dhabi, Dar Al-Dhabi Real Estate and their sales and marketing agent, PURE Real Estate, announced that all their units have been sold out on the first hour. The total sales reached AED 1.55 billion which is much higher than initially projected in the PPM



"The excellent response we received from local, regional and international investors is a true testament of the superior investment potential of Dar Al-Dhabi Project. On a grander scale, this proves that Abu Dhabi is fast becoming a focal point of property development and a hotspot for key real estate investments,” said Abdulwahab F. Al-Ameer, VP Chairman of Dar Al-Dhabi Holding.

Dar Al-Dhabi Project occupies five plots on Al Reem Island and strategically situated on the only marina in the Najmat Abu Dhabi development, 300 metres off the coast of Abu Dhabi. The project covers a gross construction area of 5 million square feet with a total cost estimated at AED 6 billion.
Al-Ameer added that he expects that “prices for both commercial and residential properties will improve in the very near future following the consistently good showing of the real estate market in Abu Dhabi."
The groundbreaking project includes two 35-storey residential buildings (Al-Sharq Tower 1 and Al-Sharq Tower 2), a 7-storey residential building (Al-Seef Residential), and a 7-storey commercial building (Al-Seef Commercial) in addition to the two 300 metere high ‘Iconic’ towers, that promise to redefine the skyline of Abu Dhabi while serving commercial, residential and retail purposes. Exemplifying international standards in architecture and services by commissioning top architects and employing state-of-the-art technology, the development is targeted to become a landmark the Al Reem Island.
Dar Al-Dhabi Project offers the comfort of a modern waterfront lifestyle, proximity to 5-star hotels and a diverse range of leisure and entertainment amenities. “The success of Dar Al-Dhabi Project proves that discerning investors are always on the lookout for the most superior property investments. By bringing together the best of the best, we have realized our vision of creating excellent investment opportunities for our clients, supporting the long-term economic development of Abu Dhabi and offering sustainable benefits for our community,” concluded Al-Ameer.
In addition to its premium location on the marina, Dar Al-Dhabi Project is the only development that will have two adjacent ‘Iconic’ towers—one residential and another commercial, including a shopping mall in the podium. The multi-functional space and special facilities are set to meet the various specialized needs of its residents. After the re-planning exercises of Al Reem Island, Dar Al-Dhabi’s ‘Iconic’ towers will be the largest single plot of its kind on the island.

The ‘Iconic’ towers will be launched at Cityscape Dubai 2008 but pre-registration will be welcomed during Cityscape Abu Dhabi.

Dar Al Dhabi Al-Sharq Towers, Abu Dhabi

Dar Al Dhabi Al-Sharq Towers are two 35 storey residential towers located on Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi. Designed by KEO International Consultants for Dar Al Dhabi Real Estate the design solution integrates over 800 apartment units within two L-shape forms around a central courtyard. A distinct copper clad mashrabiya creates a screen to disguise the various apartment units and balconies within the buildings, while also offering a sense of warmth and privacy to their residents. The need to provide so many apartments within the building is counterbalanced by creating sky gardens at several locations throughout the tower to provide places for communal gatherings and a connection to nature.

Raj Patel, the Principal Designer for the project states "The buildings promise to evoke a unique presence both during the day and at night as a result of the material and geometric pattern of its screen."
