IN DUBAI A HUGE SELECTION OF REAL ESTATE FOR ALL TASES, HOWEVER, DUBAI MARINA DISTRICT, SURELY, ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS CITIES AND POPULAR AMONG THE FOREIGNERS. WHAT IS ITS POPULARITY ASSOCIATED WITH?
The project to create an artificial bay for yachts and boats on the western outskirts of Dubai was born at the beginning of this century, following the idea of creating the famous palm island of The Palm Jumeirah. The ambitious project, in the end, has become a key area, the center of the “new” Dubai. The general developer of the project is one of the largest development companies in the world - Emaar Properties PJSC. In just eight years, around two hundred high-rise buildings around an artificial bay in the immediate vicinity of the sea. Now Dubai Marina is the world's largest integrated project near the artificial harbor, which stretches almost four kilometers from the Dubai International Maritime Club (DIMC) in the east, to the Sheraton Jumeirah hotel in the west. Dubai Marina is one of the few artificial structures on the planet that can be seen from space with the naked eye.
To date, most of the planned buildings have already been built. Over the past years, residents of Dubai have been observing how a new urban area with a population of about 100 thousand inhabitants is growing out of sand almost before their eyes. Particularly impressive changes have occurred in the last 2-3 years, when the area began to be actively populated, new shops, restaurants, cafes and boardwalks began to open. Gorgeous yachts, standing on the pier along the embankments, the quiet splash of water and the delicate smell of a traditional Arabic hookah (shisha) coming from open cafes and restaurants instantly make you forget about the hardships and problems of everyday life, and take you to the world of a carefree and luxurious resort of life. I must say that along with the clear signs of Arab culture, which can be traced both in architecture and in traditional dhow boats with cruises for vacationers along the bay and the bay, Dubai Marina can undoubtedly be called one of the most cosmopolitan areas of Dubai. Among residents and vacationers here you can meet representatives of almost all nationalities, cultures and religions. Therefore, the area is very popular among visitors (mainly Europeans, Americans and Australians), although from the point of view of the indigenous Arab population, it is considered too "European".
Separately, it is worth mentioning the grand coastal project Jumeirah Beach Residence (abbreviated as JBR), built by Dubai Properties. The residential complex, which is the world's largest single-stage construction project and stretching 1.7 km along the Dubai coastline, has 40 tall buildings. Of these, 36 are reserved for housing and four for hotels. The buildings of the complex are united by a common podium, which houses shops, cafes, restaurants, swimming pools, walking areas, playgrounds, etc. The one of a kind complex is the embodiment of the concept of "resort life all year round." The unique theme of the architecture of the project from the world famous bureau Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo (WATG) incredibly harmoniously combines Mediterranean and Arabic styles. The construction of the JBR project took almost 5 years and cost the company developer 1.6 billion dollars. Designed for permanent residence of more than 25 thousand people, the complex has a total housing area of more than 2 million square meters. meters. In addition, the project has more than 400 shops, cafes and restaurants with a total area of more than 70 thousand square meters. meters. Common areas (pools, playgrounds, etc.) occupy about 180 thousand square meters. meters.
Along the entire complex, the promenade The Walk, almost 2 km long, is arranged along the seashore. Directly along the coast, in front of the Jumeirah Beach Residence and The Walk, there are the famous Dubai five-star beach hotels: Habtoor Grand, Le Royal Meridien, Ritz Carlton, Hilton and Sheraton. All vacationers and residents of the area have free access to one of the best beaches on the coast, stretching for almost 3 km. Over the past year, The Walk Promenade has become a favorite vacation spot for Dubai residents. In the evenings on weekends, the coast literally comes to life, and in terms of the number of vacationers, the promenade can compete with the busiest pedestrian streets of the largest cities in the world.
At the end of 2008, Dubai Marina opened in the new Dubai Marina Mall. It covers an area of 350,000 square meters and houses 160 shops and boutiques, including the Waitrose supermarket, clothing stores, jewelry, home goods and furniture. In addition, the Address Dubai Marina hotel has been opened in the shopping center, and soon it is planned to open the Gourmet Tower (a “gourmet tower”), a project with a unique concept, all seven floors of which will be entirely reserved for gourmet restaurants. Thus, the heart of the “new Dubai” Dubai Marina district is attractive to foreigners, because it offers its own unique style, combining luxury and comfort, convenience and a quiet rhythm of resort life in the center of one of the busiest metropolises in the world.
In terms of property value, the Dubai Marina area is considered one of the most prestigious and expensive in Dubai. However, the level of equipment and quality of decoration of houses, their location, as well as the size and layout of the apartments themselves are too diverse. Therefore, there is a wide range of prices in this area, and real estate buyers can choose apartments in accordance with their budget. One of the most inexpensive buildings in the area are houses in the complex Marina Diamond (consists of 6 buildings), Manchester Tower, DEC Towers, Marina Crown. The cost of 1 square. meters in these buildings range from US $ 2,200 to US $ 2,500. Despite the relative cheapness, they have pools, gyms, saunas, tennis courts and much more.
The middle category includes projects of EMAAR, such as Marina Promenade, Al Sahab, Park Island, Marina Quays, Al Majara, as well as projects of most other developers. The apartments in these houses have panoramic views of Dubai Marina and partly to the sea, as a rule, large areas, the average size of one-bedroom apartments is about 90 square meters, while in inexpensive ones - about 70 square meters. m. The cost of apartments in these projects varies between US $ 3000-3800 per 1 sq. km. meter. In a separate category, the actual complex of high-rise buildings of the Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) project can be distinguished. The main advantage of this project is its location, since it is located on the first coastline of the Persian Gulf with direct access to the beach. The cost of apartments here varies greatly.
