Jumeirah Beach Residence handover to start in March 07

Dubai, January 12th, 2007 (WAM)- Jumeirah Beach Residence, Dubai Properties' first freehold development, will begin the handover of 36 residential towers starting March until May 2007, Dubai Properties has announced.

The delivery of 6,500 apartments will take place over a three-month period to ensure customized services for each resident.

IDAMA, Dubai Properties' facilities management company, will supervise the delivery of the apartments and will be responsible for the ongoing management, maintenance and administration of JBR master community.

As part of the delivering procedures, an appointment will be scheduled with each home owner for the handover of their respective apartments.

Dubai Properties aim to offer value-added services to its customers as part of the development's commitment to provide a privileged beachfront lifestyle. The phased delivery schedule will ensure that each customer will receive distinctive and personalised service that they have come to expect from the development.

Several features were added to the project including an off-site district cooling system, a central automatic waste management and disposal system and enhanced apartment finishing in order to offer optimum standards of comfort to the home owners and investors alike.

Dubai Properties has also upgraded the adjacent beach road, turning it into a world-class 1.7km high street for pedestrians. The tree lined avenue includes shaded walkways and sculptured fountains.

The one-way system on the avenue will help ensure smooth traffic flow. The resulting reduced traffic congestion will provide JBR tenants and visitors with speedier access to their residential units, beachfront hotels and other facilities.

The single phase Jumeirah Beach Residence development has been divided into six zones: Shams (sun), Amwaj (waves), Rimal (sands), Bahar (sea), Sadaf (shells) and Murjan (coral reef), taking inspiration from the elements of the sea.

The waterfront development's four hotel towers and the outdoor beachfront shopping boulevard - The Walk - will be launched in 2007.
