Al Fara'a Properties announces launch of Dh.1bn Burj Al Fara'a

Sunday, July 27, 2008

Burj Al Faraa Business Tower
Al Fara'a Properties, the flagship subsidiary of Al Fara'a Construction, Industrial and Property Group has announced the launch of Burj Al Fara'a, worth Dh.1billion, the state-of-the-art commercial tower located at the heart of Jumeirah Village.

The launch of this project is aimed at meeting the strong demand for commercial space in Dubai. It is expected that about 86million square feet of built space will be covered for office space by the year 2010.

The state-of-the-art 38 storey commercial tower will see its ground breaking by December 2008, and is likely to be complete by December 2011. Burj Al Fara'a, will be a highly impressive business location that caters to both local and multinational businesses, seeking to establish their strong presence at commercial business district Jumeirah Village, which is nearing 60 percent completion.

The Director of Al Fara'a Properties, Natasha Gangaramani, said that priority would be given for timely completion of the project, which will be constructed to match the highest industry standards.

Studies indicate that Dubai ranks second to Moscow in terms of commercial floor space, with limited stock of quality office space in Dubai. The insufficient supply and comparatively cheaper rates compared to other property destinations such as London continue to be a major factor behind the growth of Dubai as a premier business hub.
Burj Al Fara'a construction will progress as per rigid timetable set up by the company for timely completion of the project. Al Fara'a Properties also plans to undertake several other project launches as a part of their expansion plan for 2008, intended to bolster the company's portfolio and establish position as the top developer in the UAE.

AAA Appraisers launches the Eclipse Tower in Dubai

Thursday, May 22, 2008

A development arm of AAA International Group, AAA Appraisers, yesterday launched the $200million Eclipse Tower in Dubai Jumeirah Village.

Eclipse Tower JumeirahThe project, which covers a gross built-up area of 350,000 square feet, with an additional 55,000 square feet of retail space, will also feature a sky golf course.

"This is a record of sorts. Dubai has never experienced a sky golf course, featuring bunkers, water hazards and pioneering water management system that maintains the golf course with minimal wastage of water," said Ebrahim, the General Manager of AAA.

The project also introduces another new concept in Dubai, wherein, the moment investors buy an office in the tower, they will be able to move into a fully furnished office. In the normal course projects, on the other hand, businesses will have to wait for two to three years before the keys of their office are handed over. The company aims to introduce a paradigm shift in the realty industry this way.

Featuring high standard modern amenities that promote both convenient and professional business standards, it also includes options for relaxation after the hectic working hours. The officer offer stunning views of the canal within the Jumeirah Village South, while the five high-speed elevators carry employees to their respective offices in a fast and comfortable manner. The golf course in the tower is the first-of-its-kind to be built in a commercial office tower in Dubai, which offers clients and businessmen a unique working environment.

Ideally located amongst the major roads in Dubai - the emirates road and Al Khail Road, the commuters no doubt will be benefited from the new metro too, which links the Dubai International Airport to its new residential development. The prime location is sure to attract foreign investors who further promote the growth of Dubai's currently blossoming economy.

Construction of the project is likely to commence by end of September 2008, and will be complete by end of 2010.

The sales of the tower will be launched within the next few months at the rate of Dh.1600 per square foot.

The Eclipse Tower, has already received approval from Dubai's RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) and has an escrow account with Emirates Islamic Bank.

The interior is designed in a manner so as to deliver easy maintenance and operation, along with a classic touch.

Located in close proximity to Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Center and the Dubai International Financial Center, the Octavian is designed by Kling Consult, a renowned German Engineering. Enabling work of the project will begin in the third quart this year, and will be complete by 2011.

The Dh.1.2bn project will be the first project of Omniyat this year, and is one of the eight developments which will quadruple the value of the company's Dubai property portfolio to Dh.21bn this year.

Last year the company had doubled its sales and tripled its profits compared to that achieved during the year 2006.
