Luxury lifestyle, capital appreciation and ROI potential offers attractive investment opportunity; Anantara high spec ‘des res’ apartments and penthouses ready to move in

Dubai-based developer Seven Tides is receiving increasing interest from GCC investors for the phase one release of its exclusive Anantara Residences Dubai, situated on Palm Jumeirah, as the emirate welcomes an influx of summer visitors from the region.

Marketed exclusively by Better Homes, the collection of 442 luxury apartments and 14 penthouses are fronted by a private stretch of white sand beach with all residences enjoying spectacular panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf, Atlantis hotel, Burj Al Arab and the Dubai Marina skyline.

“We are not surprised by the level of interest shown by GCC investors. The Dubai real estate market is buoyant; apartment sales prices have grown by 27% year to date, and by 12% in the first quarter of this year alone. Also it’s not only a convenient location for a second home, it can be bought-to-let or simply leased when vacant to earn rental income,” said Abdulla Bin Sulayem, CEO, Seven Tides

“Dubai is a popular destination for GCC visitors. Airline schedules are good allowing easy accessibility, making Dubai a great ‘family and friends’ location,” he added.

A Dubai Chamber study, supported by statistics published by Business Monitor International, puts UAE tourism sector growth at 6.5% per annum between 2011-2021, with visitors from the Gulf state and the Middle East region, a primary and source market.

The significant growth of GCC visitors is further supported by the results of a recent MasterCard survey, which reported that while Dubai is currently the seventh most popular tourist destination in the world, it is expected to beat New York or Paris in popularity by 2017.

Better Homes also provides on-site support for prospective investors with a dedicated Arabic-speaking sales team on hand to conduct show-rounds and answer specific enquiries from GCC investors keen to buy into a luxury Dubai lifestyle.



“The emirate, and The Anantara Residences, are perfectly positioned to accommodate the cultural and social requirements of Gulf nationals, from the availability of high-end retail destinations and the city’s family-friendly entertainment calendar, to the high spec interior design of the apartments and penthouses, and unrivalled lifestyle access to the adjacent Anantara Dubai Palm Jumeirah, Resort & Spa,” added Bin Sulayem.

The fully furnished residences comprise a total of 442 one and two-bedroom apartments, ranging from 1,158 to 1,524-square feet and 1,743 to 2,246 square feet respectively, and impressive terrace or balcony spaces, most with sea views.

There are also a limited number of three-bedroom penthouses, each with sunken swimming pools, private terraces and balconies offering up to an additional 3,000 square feet of space for relaxation and entertaining; and potential penthouse owners also have the option of fully customising their interiors.

A complete lifestyle experience is included in the price, with residents enjoying access to five-star facilities at the 293-room five-star Anantara Dubai Palm Jumeirah, Resort & Spa, which is due to open in September 2013. The hotel facilities available include a gym, 107,600-square feet of temperature controlled lagoon pools, six dining and entertainment venues and the Anantara Spa.

Luxury Anantara branded apartments to set new standards for waterfront living on Dubai’s most desirable offshore community

Dubai-based real estate developer Seven Tides has announced the appointment of the UAE’s largest property realtor, Better Homes, as the exclusive sales agent for Anantara Residences Dubai, Palm Jumeirah.

Anantara, which is renowned for its luxurious, discovery-lead hospitality, has branded and will operate an exclusive collection of 456 condominium apartments occupying a prime beachfront position on the crescent of the Palm Jumeirah. Each residence comes complete with high spec finishes and unique interior design touches, as well as panoramic ocean views framed by the resort’s white sand beach, landscaped gardens and the city skyline.

Home-owners also have access to a wide range of hotel facilities and services at the 293-room five-star Anantara Dubai Palm Jumeirah, Resort & Spa, including housekeeping, room service and laundry, concierge service, world-class restaurants and impressive leisure facilities, which include a private beach, three swimmable lagoons, water sports, the Anantara Spa sanctuary, private gymnasium & fitness studio and tennis courts.

“The Anantara Residences will raise the bar for luxury living in Dubai, and we are delighted to bring Better Homes on board as a local real estate operator with the international reach and client list that perfectly matches our luxury positioning, and the clientele that we expect to attract to the resort when it makes its debut this September,” said Abdulla Bin Sulayem, CEO, Seven Tides.

Condominium sizes range from 107.5 square metres for a 1 bedroom residence up to Penthouses with their own sunken swimming pools and gardens occupying an impressive 920 square metres. Better Homes is now busy putting the finishing touches to its sales and marketing structure and its ongoing strategy, in preparation for an influx of enquiries once the prices are released and the residences go on open sale later this month.

“One of the biggest selling points for these incredible residences, in addition to the location and freehold status, is the fact that they are not being sold off-plan, but are already complete and ready for home-owners eager to start enjoying their new Palm Jumeirah home,” said Ryan Mahoney, CEO, Better Homes.

“Better Homes comes with a 30-year track record in the property arena and its 250-strong team of specialised and well-connected consultants is supported by a highly engaging and easily navigable website, which we are sure will bring the residences to the attention of high net-worth individuals looking to make a sound investment or add to their real estate portfolios,” remarked Bin Sulayem.

Seven Tides is no stranger to developing luxury lifestyle environments. Another luxury resort it has developed is the sold out, 644 apartment Oceana Residence, located on the trunk of The Palm Jumeirah. It offers spacious one, two and three-bedroom units with high quality finishes and panoramic views over the private gardens and beach. The complex includes a private infinity pool, lazy river and beach, as well as a jogging track, landscaped recreation areas and a gymnasium.
