Construction of the six mixed-use towers is expected to cost approximately AED 5.9 billion ($1.6 billion) and be completed by May 2012. The six towers will have a total built-up area of approximately 1.1 million square meters (11.8 million square feet)

The development will be 90 per cent residential with the remainder a mix of commercial, hotel, entertainment and institutional use.
The first phase will be completed in 2008 and the whole project is expected to be finished by 2011.
The towers also share facilities including a shopping mall, luxury sports and leisure facilities.
These include a 10,000 square foot gym, a luxury spa with separate male and female facilities, three tennis courts, two squash courts, a lap pool, a 70-metre infinity pool, and yoga lawn.

My wife and myself are strong believers in this project, these pictures are fantastic.
We bought 2 studios (sea view) from Tameer, apparently Tameer charges a much higher price / sq.ft compared to Surouh. Does anyone know why? We’re now stuck with one (we financed the other one) as the market has greatly cooled down!
I hope things turn around by next year!

I’m getting unsolicited e-mails from some biddie at Betterhomes offering 35th floor 2 bed at 0% premium, 90% finance blah blah – 1,777 per ft2.

Developers Sorouh Real Estate and Tameer Holding Investment said on Tuesday they had dissolved joint ventures on two real estate projects in Abu Dhabi

Sorouh Real Estate is looking at rescheduling its Shams project on Reem Island in Abu Dhabi and is cutting prices at some of its developments because of slow sales, an executive said yesterday.
The Shams Abu Dhabi project, a 579-hectare master-planned community at the opposite end of Reem Island from Abu Dhabi Island, is one of the biggest challenges facing the company. Sorouh sold 104 plots of land to sub-developers, some of which are now facing difficulties in getting their tower projects moving.
Sorouh had also increased its rental portfolio to Dh1.4 billion, which will lift its regular income over time.But the amount of overdue money owed to the company rose to 8 per cent of overall receivables, from 4 per cent in the first quarter, showing that some buyers are having difficulties paying.

The Gate Towers – the four towers that form part of Shams Gate – are rising steadily by approximately one floor every 10 days. Towers 1, 2 and 3 have risen to levels 21, 17 and 13 respectively. The Arc, which also forms part of the Gate Towers, is above ground and the basement is complete. The Gate Towers is due for completion in 2012.

I actually have one unit in GT-2. Looking at the pics, the buildings look nice, but there seems to be virtually nothing around it. So I’m wondering about how inhabitable this project is and if there are indeed any businesses around this area which would make people want to live there.

Sorouh have just announced a 6 month delay to this project, so guess that takes it to about June 2013. The roads are in fairly good shape around it and there is a fountain nearby. There will be a "Boutik" shopping area in Sun and Sky Towers (but wasn’t yet open when I visited in April but told it would be shortly) and I understand Waitrose supermarket will be located there. Think there will also be a Boutik shopping area in Gate Towers when finished

Cuando visite a los de Sorouh me dijeron que las Gate estaban terminadas parfa fin de año, no me lo crei, estamos a Febrero y ahora dicen Junio, es mas creible, aun asi tengo mis dudas.
Eso si creo que Gate Towers va a ser lo mas lujoso y lo mejor de Abu Dhabi y con la marca Sorouh, los precios han subido mucho, lo mejor que he encontrado ahora mismo es esto a 950 AED el sqft, pero la mayoria pasan de 1100 AED/sqft y no son las mejores unidades precisamente.
Acabo de hablar con ellos, planta 4 pufff, las vistas no van a ser gran cosa!
