THE INSIDE STORY

We speak to Khaled Al Nablsee, a homeowner at DAMAC Hills 2, who shares his experience with DAMAC Properties

Investing in a family home is a big step. There are a host of factors to consider before shortlisting a property that ticks all the boxes for each family member. For Khaled Al Nablsee, access to green outdoor spaces, play areas for his children and the support of a dedicated team were key requirements. And at DAMAC Hills 2, he was able to bring his vision of his family home to life.

We go behind the scenes for a tour of his luxurious villa.

What factors did you consider when looking for a home? “The choice of developer was one of the first factors on our list. We wanted to work with a company that is well known. We also considered the amenities available within the community as access to outdoor spaces, play areas and pools is important for families with children.”

What made DAMAC Hills 2 the ideal choice? “A home should offer a sense of calm and relaxation to the people living in it. And for me, lush, green spaces do just that. So when a sales representative introduced me to the DAMAC Hills 2 development, the landscaped areas caught my attention.”

And why did you choose to work with DAMAC? “DAMAC’s sales team has been excellent from the get-go and the property developer has always been popular in the real estate realm in the region.” Did you face any challenges in the handover process? “When I first received my villa, it did not meet my specific requirements. I like living in luxury and as the property would become my family home, I wanted some more changes. The team at DAMAC was with me every step of the way. I am grateful to Engineer Bilal Al Najjar and the consultants who worked with me, patiently providing me with drawings and helping me acquire the necessary approvals. They were very helpful throughout the whole process, and not just the DAMAC Properties team but also the facilities management team, LOAMS, who continues to manage the property even after handover. In case of any complaints, the manager attends to those issues immediately. I would like to thank the team for their continuous service.”

As the owner of the most luxurious villa in DAMAC Hills 2, can you tell us what inspired the design process? “I travel a lot all over the world and stay in some of the world’s most luxurious hotels; inspiration can be found everywhere. Plus, I chose one of the best interior design companies in Dubai (Classic Home) and worked with them to develop ideas to suit my personal tastes. The process involved going through several designs and choosing the right material to get to where we are now.”

Tell us about your experience living in DAMAC Hills 2. “It’s wonderful. There are upgrades and updates every day. We enjoy the petting zoo and the fitness facilities. And we are very much looking forward to the opening of the paintball park and butterfly garden.”

What made Dubai the best choice for investment? “Dubai is a very safe place and here, every investor can get his value for money. People can invest in the city without thinking twice and rest assured that their investment will be protected.”
