Flamingo Villas take flight

RAK Properties has launched Phase Two of its Flamingo Villas project, while indicating that construction of the first phase of the coastal residential community is progressing as scheduled to enable the handover of units by the year-end.

Part of the Mina Al Arab community in the UAE emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, Flamingo Villas is a much sought-after project placed amidst lush landscaping, protected coastal wetlands and natural pristine beaches.

Demand for the first phase of the project was “exceptional” according to the Ras Al Khaimah-based developer, which expects even greater interest for the second phase that comprises 57 villas, of two to three bedrooms.

Commenting on the developments, Mohammed Sultan Al Qadi, managing director and CEO of RAK Properties, says: “The Flamingo Villas project is certain to live up to everyone’s expectations of it being one of Ras Al Khaimah’s landmark developments. By the end of this year, we hope to hand over the keys to the owners of villas from the first phase. We are also excited to launch the second phase of this exquisitely designed project that will allow residents to enjoy the very best that nature has to offer. Furthermore, Flamingo Villas will enjoy an array of amenities, especially since it is an integral part of the Mina Al Arab development.”

Residents of Phase Two of Flamingo Villas will be able to enjoy a range of world-class amenities, right from a central park with a children’s play area which is connected to Phase One swimming pools and tennis courts. Moreover, residents can make the most of the top-notch facilities in the wider Mina Al Arab community.

RAK Properties has also opened the Flamingo ‘show villas’ for public viewing.

Diyar Al Muharraq sells out Phase One

Diyar Al Muharraq has entirely sold out Phase One of its commercial villa plots, situated at a prime location within the Diyar Al Muharraq project located off the northern shores of Muharraq island in Bahrain.

Plot sizes in this phase range from 785 to 887 sq m located in a specialised commercial strip allocated for non-residential use on the main road to the northwest of Diyar Homes and opposite the Diyar Town Centre. The plots are described as being  ideal for businesses such as beauty salons, spas, offices, gyms, medical clinics and others requiring independent locations.

Diyar Al Muharraq’s Dr Maher Al Shaer comments: “With a tangible sense of achievement, we are delighted to announce that all of Phase One for the commercial villa plots has been sold out in no time at all. These plots are located strategically to increase their commercial draw and as such, we are
quite confident that they will prove to be one of the most exciting and lucrative investments for this high-potential market segment.”

The title deeds will be handed over to their owners, comprising Bahraini and GCC nationals, in Q3 2015.

Al Shaer further says the infrastructural elements that will support the plots are set to be completed by 2017.

He adds with the successful completion of this sale, Diyar Al Muharraq now looks towards the launch and sale of Phase Two commercial villa plots, which are expected to be equally popular and sought after. The second phase will be located on the main road to the south of Diyar Homes Phase Two and will encompass 18 plots.
