Condo Hotel Center: Property
Alert
January
21, 2006
Toscana Club Residence Apartment
Tower
New Dubai Condo Hotel in
Discovery Gardens
Joel Greene here from Condo Hotel Center.
I am pleased to tell
you today about our newest offering in Dubai, Toscana
Club Residence. For all of you who have been shut
out of buying a studio (the least expensive type
of unit) in the past, you have an opportunity now
to get one, but as you'll see, you will have to
act fast. Let me explain.
Because of the success
Condo Hotel Center has had selling units in their
four other Dubai projects, Middle East Development
(MED) enjoys working closely with us as their North
American representative. Often, our efforts have
been rewarded with exclusive inventory, and on occasion,
with defaulted inventory that we could offer at
discounted prices. That's the good news.
The bad news is that
every time they've released a new property, they've
done so on a Saturday morning (the beginning of
their work week), making it a challenge for me to
get the word out to all of you. And, as it turns
out, today's news is too urgent to sit on until
Monday, as it is extremely time sensitive.
First
Crack at Dubai's Newest Condo Hotel
This is our first and only exclusive listing on
any of MED's properties, for the entire building,
even if our exclusivity only runs for less than
48 hours.
This is the note that
I got today from my on-site salesperson, Zeina,
followed by a half dozen emails that came directly
from Nigel, the Director of Sales and Marketing,
that each said "Joel, only!!!"
Dear
Joel,
We are
launching Monday morning this building. It is not
included in the promotion for the Dubai shopping
festival, but you can prepare yourself and you have
today and tomorrow to send it to your customer before
anyone else.
No one
has this info. till now. All the agents will get
the info. simultaneously on Monday, only 66 units
available and they will be sold on Monday on a first
come first served basis, so you have a two day head
start. I know it is the weekend but you might do
something in these two days.
This
project is being developed by NAKHEEL, which is
part of the Dubai government and the project is
already at 2nd floor level. Like all of our projects
this is a prime location and an excellent investment.
I am aware that you usually like to get a tremendous
amount of information so that you can digest it
prior to launch, but in this case, I cannot allow
you that luxury.
Best
regards,
Zeina

Gardens is Dubai's newest condo hotel offering.

Great
Location in Discovery Gardens
This project
is located in Discovery Gardens, which is in Dubai
in the area called Jebel Ali. It is five minutes away
from the Gardens Shopping Mall called Ibn Battota
Mall, which will contain clothing retailers, art shops,
supermarkets, laundry, beauty salons, tailors and
all other services for daily living. (Read more about
this mall at the end of this document.)

It is 10 minutes from Emirates Mall,
Dubai Internet City, and Dubai Media City. 15 minutes
away from Dubai Land. This project is also 10 minutes
away from the new Jebel Ali Airport. (Read more about
Discovery Garden, at the end of this document).

on the ground floor and the third floor.

-- Third floor, $111,386

Payment Schedule
and Requirements
Please understand that there is no seller financing
being offered at this time for Toscana Club Residence
units. This means that all purchases must be paid
in full in installments as follows:
- Deposit 10% due upon signing reservation
form
- 1st Installment 10% due within
30 days of reservation
- 2nd Installment 10% due within
90 days of reservation
- 3rd Installment 20% due July 30,
2006
- 4th Installment 20% due March
31, 2007
- 5th Installment 20% due December
31, 2007
- 6th Installment 10% upon completion
As you can see, a 10% deposit is
required with the reservation form. However, to accommodate
my buyers, the developer has given me a little extra
time.
To reserve one, you will need to send in a non-refundable
deposit for AED5000 on a credit card. This is equivalent
to about $1,369.
Then, by no later than
this Tuesday, the balance of the first 10% deposit
must be wired to them and confirmation of this will
need to be faxed to them. If this is not done within
the allotted timeframe, your unit will be released
and quite possibly, your deposit lost. So if you
cannot get to the bank by this Tuesday, do not reserve
a unit!
Discovery
Gardens Project Overview

Discovery Gardens,
a 420,000 square meter development, is a pre-designed
complex comprised of themed communities, styled
in a variety of garden experiences.
The apartments in Discovery
Gardens are exquisitely designed using marble and
ceramic tiles from around the region, with maple
finishing and attractive lighting to bring warmth
and comfort.
The distinct cultural
influences of each themed community are evident
in the external design of the buildings - stucco-colored
architecture of Mediterranean Gardens, domed rooftops
of Mogul Gardens, simplistic Asian style of the
Zen Gardens, a touch of the South West in Contemporary
Cactus and the courtyard gardens of Mesoamerica.
Here, residents will find a spacious home amidst
lush surroundings priced within reach.
Discovery Gardens features
a new community of spacious, multi-sized apartments;
a paradise for anyone who's ever wanted to live
among a choice of lush foliage, desert blooms or
beautifully manicured lawns.
The stucco-colored architecture blends in with the
surrounding lush greenery, enveloping residents
in a relaxing lifestyle. The Discovery Gardens apartments
have all the comforts of life including a variety
of dining options and fine retailers.
Discovery Gardens offers access to all the key communities
in Dubai including Jumeirah Islands, Jumeirah Lake
Towers and Dubai Marina. For more shopping and entertainment,
the city center is just a short drive away.

Discovery
Gardens is situated in an ideal location. Community
swimming pools, landscaped gardens, jogging paths
and tennis courts provide excellent recreational
venues. Just five-minutes away, the new Gardens
Shopping Mall offers clothing shops, art shops,
laundry, supermarkets, salons, tailors and other
necessary services.
Discovery Gardens is situated along Sheikh Zayed
Road between interchanges five and six. The development
encompasses the area between Sheikh Zayed Road and
Emirates Road. It is close to Jebel Ali Freezone,
Dubai Internet and Media Cities, The Palm islands
and Hard Rock Café.
Shopping malls in the
form of culturally beautiful Ibn Battuta Mall and
the Mall of the Emirates with its indoor ski slope
are in close proximity of the communities. Discovery
Gardens is located in a convenient and beautiful
location with the palatial towers of Jumeirah Lake
Towers towering in the background, and the greens
of the Emirates Golf Club beckoning enthusiasts.
Ibn Battuta
Mall Project Overview
Ibn Battuta Mall continues to change the face of
shopping and leisure entertainment in Dubai, revitalizing
the entire Western area of the city with world-class
entertainment and contemporary leisure facilities.
Ibn Battuta Mall's
distinct architecture, brand new interchange providing
easy access, 16-outlet food court and unique restaurant
court, retail zoning, and huge 21-screen megaplex,
including the UAE's first IMAX theatre, have provided
an attractive lure to the thousands of visitors
who have poured through the doors since it opened
April 2005.
In keeping with the
promise to deliver the most innovative mall concept
in the region, Nakheel has delivered an original
theme based on the life of Arab traveler and adventurer
Ibn Battuta.
A
globetrotter and a man of great vision, Ibn Battuta
set off on his legendary journey of the world as
a young man around 700 years ago in search of knowledge
and excitement. Ibn Battuta's 75,000 mile voyage
led him on many dangerous and thrilling adventures
as he journeyed through Andalusia, Tunisia, Egypt,
Persia, India and China.
The main geographical
themes of these six regions have been reflected
in the architecture and the general ambience of
the mall's six courts, which are laid out in sequence
of the path Ibn Battuta took to explore the world.
This tremendous experience
is unique to all visitors and has already featured
many exciting events ranging from festivals and
exhibitions, to special offers and shows for all
ages.
