Prices of Dubai Marina units on the rise
Thursday, November 26, 2009
";
The prices of the Dubai Marina apartments have grown by 18 to 38 percent during this year, revealed a real estate company.
The Head of Sales of Asteco, Vineet Kumar, said that single bedroom apartments at Dubai Marina are currently selling at Dh.1300 per square feet, an increase of 18 percent from Dh.100 per square feet sold during the beginning of the year.
The double bedroom apartments are now being sold at Dh.1250 per square feet, an increase from Dh.900 per square feet in January, while the triple bedrooms are sold at Dh.1250 per square foot, an increase from Dh.950 in January.
Single bedrooms measuring 850 to 900 square feet at Elite Residence and Dorrabay are now priced at Dh.1.2million, reveals Asteco’s report. In January 2009 this type of property was quoted as Dh.900,000, while similar apartments were priced at Dh.1.35mn in July 2008.
The double bedroom apartments at Marina Promenade measuring 1280 square foot is currently priced at Dh.1.6mn, while it as Dh.1.15mn in January.
A triple bedroom apartment in proximity to Jumeirah Beach Residence costs about Dh.2.37mn at present, while the same property was priced Dh.1.8mn in January.
However, four bedroom apartments have not seen much improvement in prices at present, and stand at Dh.975 per square foot, an increase from Dh.850 per square feet in January this year.
Demand for four and five bedroom apartments at Dubai Marina is much lower than that for triple, double and single bedroom apartments, as families have the affordable option of purchasing four or five bedrooms at villa communities.
The increased demand for smaller units at the Marina implies that such units command higher prices per sq. ft. than larger ones. The larger the size of an apartment, the lower is the price per sq. ft., said Kumar.
Figures by Asteco reveal that the value of apartments at the Marina has dropped by 15 to 60 percent since July 2008. However, certain towers in the Marina are still maintaining their values due to demand from investors and end-users, although the growth values in prices of few other properties in Dubai are slow. This is reflected in the fact that the prices offered in the market for the Marina have a wide range at Dh.850 to Dh.2000 per sq. ft.

Dubai houses world's first revolving 'Dynamic Tower'
Saturday, June 28, 2008
";
Dubai now houses the world's first revolving, pre-fabricated tower, worth $3billion, designed by the Italian Architect, David Fisher. The 'Dynamic Tower' comprising 80 storey will be 420 meters tall.
Located on Shaikh Zayed Road, the Dynamic Tower will spread across an area of 1.2million Square Feet. The tower is said to have a central core for lifts, and there are lifts particularly for cars, hence it is possible for residents to drive into their apartments.
The Dynamic Tower is a slender, rotating skyscraper, with its luxury apartments being energy-self-sufficient. The tower offers endless design possibilities, with each floor rotating independently so as to form a building that constantly changes shape, and results in a unique, ever-evolving structure. Each rotating floor will have horizontal wind turbines, so that the towers can generate sufficient energy to power the other five towers of same size.
The tower will be pre-fabricated with parts made in Italy, and the time will be considerably reduced.
Fisher says "It takes only six days for completion of one floor, as against six weeks taken to complete a floor of traditional building."
It has been estimated that it will take about 20 months for completing the Dynamic Tower. It is said that a similar tower is also being planned at Moscow, followed by New York.

Diamond Investments announces handing over Marina Diamond IV
";
Diamond Investments has announced handing over of Marina Diamond IV, the fourth among the group of six buildings in the Dubai Marina. Diamond Investments, are a new class of property developers in Dubai, and a sister concern of Diamond Developers.
Located in the most luxurious neighbourhoods in Dubai Marina, the Marina Diamond IV comprises 200 units, which includes single and double bedroom apartments with various facilities such as the swimming pool, exclusive children's pool and fully equipped gymnasium.
The CEO of Diamond Investments, Fares Saeed, said "Quality, luxurious environment and reasonable prices have been the major factors behind the Diamond's success. We are committed to develop properties in the most innovative manner, and offer tailor-made commercial and residential space to our customers, for their luxury and comfort."
The units were designed as planned by Diamond Investment, for developing a property that is high in quality and affordable in price. Saeed revealed the company's intention to deliver Marina Diamond V and VI during later part of the year, as the demand would only increase after the handing over of the Marina Diamond IV. This brings the total residential units in Dubai to 1300.
Saeed is of the opinion that this increase would supplement the housing equation and will ultimately lead to better stability and maturity in the Dubai property market.
Diamond Investments is also offering a unique customer service program to its tenants. A committed member of the staff will accompany the buyer during the inspection phase and will address any concern that the new owner may seem to have. Also a staff member will conduct a follow-up during the inspection phase to rectify issues, if any, and will stay vigilant to the customer, once they have moved in.
