Dubai, UAE, December 18, 2006: Emaar Properties has launched the podium apartments at Burj Views situated close to The Old Town, Burj Dubai Boulevard and The Dubai Mall in Downtown Burj Dubai. Mashreqbank is offering up to 95 per cent finance to own affordable homes in the project within the city’s vibrant downtown development.
The podium apartments are located on four floors and form an integral part of the three-tower Burj Views. The project features amenities such as swimming pools, fitness centre, steam rooms, squash courts, games room, indoor children’s play area, private garden courts and retail facilities.
“With its three-towers plus podium architecture, Burj Views is a unique development tucked comfortably along the outer edge of Downtown Burj Dubai,” said Ms Bahiya Kayed, Assistant Director of Sales, Emaar Properties. “The Burj Views residences were launched earlier to enthusiastic investor response and now Emaar is offering homes on the podium, including studio, one and two-bedroom apartments and duplexes. They are ideal for single executives, couples and small families.”
Dedicated elevators are provided for the podium units within each Burj Views tower. The podium will feature a leisure deck, garden courts and pool decks that can be accessed through common lobbies.
“The podium residences are also ideal for investors looking for attractive returns,” added Kayed. “The homes suit the needs of short-term residents and visitors, who will find the central location of Burj Views easy enough to access the commercial and entertainment components within Downtown Burj Dubai.”
Mashreqbank is offering up to 95 per cent finance on the homes that are priced from AED 793,888 for a studio to AED 2.68 million for a two-bedroom apartment. “Mashreqbank is a pioneer in giving new and innovative financial solutions to cater for all the needs of our clients. The easy financial scheme is for tenures of up to 25 years and offers potential home-owners the advantage of saving on rents,” said Nabeel Malik, Chief Marketing Officer, Mashreqbank.
Complementing the overall colour scheme of Burj Views, the podium will be clad in warm granite colours. The retail frontage will also have clear glass partitions that can be opened during winter.
Burj Views comprise two towers of 30 floors each and one tower of 26 floors. In all, the project will have 736 apartment units – including the podium homes - and 1,800 sq m of retail space. A temperature controlled arcade, accessible from each tower, will offer a shopping environment along the podium.
Potential home-owners can discover the living experience offered by the Burj Views on visiting the Downtown Burj Dubai sales centre. Pre-registration will begin on December 19 and close on December 20. The launch is set for December 21, 2006. Sales staff from Emaar will assist in the pre-registration and sales process.
