NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH DUBAI MARINA What is the demand like in the Marina? The demand for properties in the Marina has always been high, primarily because of the unique waterfront and cosmopolitan lifestyle that it offers residences. The exclusivity, the status and the rewards of waterfront living are great, in addition to the advantages of owning a home with full sea and marina views. The Marina, is today, also one of the most affordable areas for working professionals. What are the other benefits of living in the Marina? The two biggest attractions are the Marina and JBR Walk. People love these recreational seaside areas, staying accessible 24/7 to world-class boutiques, restaurants and private beaches and gazing out at the gleaming yachts and glittering towers. The outdoor shopping experience by the beach with breathtaking views over the Arabian Gulf is a huge draw and attracts people to buy and live here. To whom does living in the Marina appeal most? The Marina attracts young couples and executives as leading global firms like their employees to be based here due to its easy access to Dubai’s business districts.

What are the most popular developments in the area? The ‘original six towers’ that constitute the original residential developments in the Marina are very popular. At JBR, most of the apartments here offer sea-facing views and are therefore highly desirable. Why should someone looking to buy in the Marina come to Better Homes? We have extensive stock and deal directly with sellers. We have also a large selection of the best-priced properties in the area: our prices are inclusive of agency fees. Adam Farani Sales Consultant

June 2010
Q
On a general scale, what is the state of Dubai’s real estate market now we cross into the second half of 2010? BERNARD AOUN It has been almost 2 years since Dubai’s real estate market downturn started. Despite news of prices plummeting further, we can now observe a degree of market stability. 2009 was a very difficult year as it was difficult to predict or forecast future progression. 2010 started slow but we are observing a clearer vision of stability and then slow, continuous growth will be expected in 2011. We know that 2010 will be a more stable year in terms of prices; we also know, more or less, the number of projects being handed over by end of 2010 which gives us a better understanding of the market in general; We can see slightly an interest in the real estate market by investors who are back in the market. The investments that they are looking to make this time will be much more studied and will eventually give them an average return yield of between 5 - 7 % - well this is what they are looking for. The UAE’s real estate market us maturing and now pricing is more realistic compared with that of international, mature markets. We expect to see a growth of long term, end-user investment within the Emirates.
LOSHINI LAWARENCE New supply of any type of inventory is certainly going to change the current status of the market in terms of price and product availability. As such, stakeholders such as developers, property owners, valuators and real estate consultants have to be aware of the available inventory; location, quality and pricing. Trend has it that no matter what the product offered, its quality or location, unit types were priced based on one bedrooms, two bedrooms, villas, etc However, the market is now changing, new unit types are becoming available, clients are more knowledgeable about the property that they would like to purchase or rent and, as such, quality and price are key. In order to ensure that property is priced correctly and leased or sold in a reasonable timeframe, stakeholders need to ensure that they have an in-depth understanding of the market from a consumer and product perspective. Location, quality of interiors, unit layouts, space utilisation, views, community charges and community facilities are key to obtaining the right price for ready-to-move-in property. No doubt, new property will also impact the pricing of existing inventory. It is expected that developers and landlords will consider upgrading communities and developments within Abu Dhabi to achieve maximum yield on their investments and retain tenants for lease-only properties. Pricing will naturally take its course as new inventory in key locations will attract keen interest, whilst the appetite for other locations will decline. If priced correctly, such locations will retain tenants and developers/owners will still continue to receive the 8-10% conservative yields on rental property.

WE LOVE THIS PLACE…
CHELSEA TOWER
Thana Narayanan tells us why he chose a serviced hotel apartment on Sheikh Zayed Road for himself, wife Gladys and sons Arvind (10) and Arjun (8).
What brought you to Dubai? I moved here from Malaysia to take up a job offer in the DIFC in December 2009. My family joined me recently in March. My wife was working as a broadcast journalist/ writer back home but presently she is fully occupied ensuring our boys settle in well here at school and with their activities. Where did you choose to live? When I first got here I stayed at the Dusit Hotel for a couple of months while I looked for a place to move to. Picking an apartment was a laborious process. I was originally interested in Dubai Marina but Better Homes showed me Chelsea Tower which is really close to my office. The Malaysian driving
‘Chelsea Tower is fully-furnished and I didn’t even need to buy cutlery. Convenience is important to me’ licence isn’t accepted here in the UAE so until I get my UAE driver’s license, having easy access to where I need to go via the hotel limos and cabs is paramount. My sons have also started school nearby, in the Safa Park area, which is a mere 15-minute ride on their school bus from Chelsea Tower. So at the moment, Chelsea scores points because of convenience and practicality.
You must have felt a bit nervous choosing a family home without your wife seeing it first. No, not really as we exchanged numerous emails about it! Each time I saw a place I liked, I would email the details and some photos over to her. She did like the Marina because of the panoramic views, but Chelsea Tower sealed the deal because it was a fully-furnished serviced apartment, nearby my office and my sons’ school - even to their music and martial arts classes. So can you describe it? It’s fully furnished – I didn’t even need to buy cutlery! That element of convenience was important to me as I travel a lot and on my

days off I didn’t want to have to be running around shopping for furnishings without a car at my disposal. Because it’s serviced, cleaning is taken care off – bedsheets and towels get replaced three times a week, and that’s a good thing at the moment. What are the facilities like? Apart from the housekeeping, which includes laundry facilities, there’s a health centre with a gym, pool and sauna. There’s everything you’d find in a hotel, including a restaurant downstairs which offers room service. Additionally, if there is any maintenance issues there are technicians on call round the clock. What sort of people live there? We have a very good mix of people, it’s pretty cosmopolitan. Mostly, I’ve seen a fair bit of Europeans and Middle Eastern families. Occasionally, I’ve bumped into Asian and African families. Because there are short- and long-term rentals available, the reception area is often pretty busy with people checking in and out. Long-term tenants like us occupy the highest of the 49 floors, so we’re lucky get a great view of the city. June 2010
‘There’s everything you’d find in a hotel, including a restaurant downstairs’ Are there many restaurants in the local area? We’re certainly well-catered for when it comes to the sort of food my sons’ like – there’s a Pizza Hut next door, Applebee’s, Chili’s, TGI Friday. The Shangri-La and Crowne Plaza hotels are also nearby and they have some pretty good restaurants, too. How are your sons settling in – do they like the apartment? Yes, they love it. They love the pool at Chelsea and go swimming pretty often after school. They’re both musically inclined – Arvind plays the electric guitar and Arjun plays the drums – and they practice in their own rooms, which are large enough to house their instruments and of course they both have a breathtaking view of the Burj Khalifa from their respective rooms. Naturally, they miss family and friends from home but with the availability of internet at our apartment
they get to Skype everyday and keep in touch. On weekends we meet up with a good childhood friend of mine here in Dubai, who has two sons too of the same age group, – so you can imagine the rest…They have also made friends here at school. You’re right next to a metro stop – have you and your family made much use of it yet? No – so far we have travelled everywhere by cab! We used it once and enjoyed the ride to Deira City Centre. What’s the worst thing about living there? The only downside I can think of is that it’s not very spacious – the living area and dining rooms are quite small. But it’s just a hotel apartment so that’s to be expected. What would you say is the best thing about Chelsea Tower? It’s strategic location and the easy availability of transport. Additionally it’s quiet, with good security and there’s privacy. The staff are courteous and efficient. Back home we have a good view of the greens, with a waterfall, koi pond and the pool. Here with all the convenience mentioned, it is home away from home, for now.

SHARJAH AND THE NORTHERN EMIRATES
There are some extraordinary developments and impressive deals on offer outside of Dubai and Abu Dhabi — turn your attention to Sharjah to get involved.
Sharjah - resilient property market
SHARJAH GOING STRONG Throughout 2009, the recession affected the real estate market in all areas of the UAE, but some argue the slowest areas of recovery can be found in freehold areas of the Northern Emirates, including a selection of off-plan projects in Ajman and Ras al Khamiah. However, the leasing market in Sharjah is still strong, and residential areas with Sharjah are proving to be very popular for long term tenants.

PROPERTY FOCUS
AL GHAZAL: A JEWEL OF A BUILDING IN SHARJAH With an excellent location on the Al Khan Lake Corniche, Al Ghazal Tower provides some of the finest living in Sharjah. The high-rise is one of Sharjah’s architectural landmarks, set adjacent to the emirate’s most exclusive recreational development, Al Qasba. The heights of Al Ghazal offer unmatched panoramas across the Al Khan Lagoon and Arabian Gulf. Thankfully, with a location directly on Al Khan Lagoon these views do not come at the cost of convenience. Moving from the exterior to the interior, Al Ghazal Tower is powered by an understated elegance. The main entrance floors are decorated with luxurious marble and its walls are lined with Burmese teak. The marble and wood motif continues throughout the corridors and common areas of Al Ghazal,

guiding residents pleasingly to the four high speed Mitsubishi lifts. Inside the flats one enjoys an air of sophistication, space and comfort. High-quality ceramic granite flooring is standard throughout all living spaces, while the main doors are built of solid wood. Villeroy and Boch, Grohe, and MDF brands provide elegant functionality and a central gas system restates the tower’s integrated design. A free health club awaits residents with state of the art equipment, a swimming pool and Jacuzzi, while the tower’s heat and sound-proof walls insulate it from the outside world. As arguably the finest tower in Sharjah, Al Ghazal is a treasure to its residents. To arrange a viewing, please give us a call on 600 52 2212.

A LOOK AT LEASING
COMMERCIAL Office Retail Industrial Investment
While commercial leasing rates have fallen everywhere in Dubai, some locations have been significantly harder hit than others. From peak levels, several communities have fallen in rental prices by 55-65%. Among these victims, International City has fallen over 50% (current prices are around AED 40 psf), Deira and Garhoud have fallen 55% (priced now at AED 80-90 psf) and Dubai Silicon Oasis has fallen 65% (now around AED 60 psf). Those areas which have been most resilient to the declines are Trade Centre, Jumeirah, and Mirdif, having fallen by only 15-20% from their peaks in 2008. Trade Centre is currently priced at AED 180210 psf, Jumeirah between AED 160-200 psf, and Mirdif between AED 180-210 psf.
Over 20 years of local market wisdom and industry prowess. The most expansive portfolio of commercial property for sale or lease in the UAE. More dedicated commercial consultants than any firm in the region. Office, Retail, Industrial, and Investment Real Estate. Solved.
Trends in mid-Q3 showed rates stabilizing, with very small declines in the range of 1-2% per month in many commercial leasing areas in Dubai.

BETTER... BEDROOMS
It’s important that your bedroom provides a calm, serene environment in order for you to get a good night’s sleep. Here’s your passport to sweet dreams...
Old-school decadence
INSPIRATION 101 BEDROOMS: STYLISH ROOM SOLUTIONS, BY JULIE SAVILL As you may have guessed, this contains 101 ideas on how to decorate your boudoir – and each comes with a full-page colour photograph and accompanying tips on lighting, floors, accessories and the like. With a comprehensive suppliers list at the back, it’s a great ideas source from the editor of America’s Good Homes magazine.
TIPS FROM THE TOP
Q I want to create a calm atmosphere in my bedroom – what are the best colours and lighting schemes for me? A Blues and greens evoke serenity and peace. They are colors associated with nature and the ocean. Using these colors can bring restful nights. Pink is the extreme calming color and many will find it impossible to act aggressively when surrounded by it. Purple is a nice color for a bedroom and will make it look more sophisticated. Bedroom lighting should be soft, calm, soothing, and romantic. As this is not a working room, but rather a space for rest and relaxation, bright, harsh lights have no place in this area. Lamps play a major role in setting the style of the room. Look for lampshades that will cast soft lighting and use low wattage or tinted bulbs. A lamp with a glass lampshade placed in front of a mirror will mimic the look of a chandelier and cast soft pools of reflected light. Saji Kumar, Bois & Chiffon.
The art of accessorising
IKEA
THEOne
ACHIEVE THIS LOOK If you want to achieve this unabashadedly decadent effect, start with a classy colour on the walls (alternatives to sage green include subtle yellow-gold or aubergine). When purchasing furniture, think of a London gentlemen’s club and you won’t go far wrong – it’s all about the plump studded leather, dark woods and luxe fabrics. But to stay on the ironic LEXIS side of old-school, make a few concessions to modernism: a FLOOR pair of steel lamps or trendy light fitting will work wonders in fusing vintage elegance with 2010 style. Add a mirror to create LAMP THE One a more spacious impression and your boudoir’s good to go. AED395
RENO CUSHION THE One AED149
Buy a selection of patterned fabrics and patchwork them together on a pinboard for a unique arty touch ACHIEVE THIS LOOK Playing with colourful accessories is the perfect way to stamp your own mark on a plain white space – and, luckily for those on a budget, it won’t break the bank. Start by considering what sort of mood you want to create: red is widely recognised as being the colour of passion but you might find green or blue more soothing. Once you’ve established a colour RITVA CURTAINS scheme, you can go to town with cushion IKEA covers, bed linens and curtain fabrics – take AED149 material to the tailor’s if your windows have unusual dimensions. Bland neutrality will be a thing of the past in no time. KAJSA CUSHION IKEA AED49
I WANT TO BUY A REALLY UNIQUE PIECE FOR MY BEDROOM – ANY IDEAS? Its important to not just add a piece to a bedroom to take up space without it benefiting your living environment. That’s why one of my favourite unique pieces to add to a bedroom is the Kilim Chest of Drawer’s from Andrew Martin. The chest adds instant, unique style that takes you back in time to an era of hand crafted and detailed artwork. It can really add a boost of colour and flare to a room of plain and solid furniture sets, without going too over the top. You can also get the Kilim Cube that can be used as a side table; I love both these pieces because they double as great storage space. Try accenting the Kilim Chest and Cube with an accessory like this Thai Drum from Andrew Martin. It really captures the sense of Andrew Martin and adds a tribal feel to the bedroom. Use this as a side table next to a chair or vanity. Farah Baghdadi Interior Designer Andrew Martin
Time traveller
Antiques like this Kilim Chest give your room authenticity . New age chic abounds with this end-table from Natuzzi - the perfect place for those must-read magazines
Exotic lair
IDdesign
ACHIEVE THIS LOOK Beds can be costly, and if you don’t want to be replacing yours every couple of years, it’s wise to invest in a simple, classic design like this (we love the tilted headboard, which makes a great back rest if you’re sitting up to watch TV or read). Of course, if the bed itself is relatively plain, that leaves you plenty of room for creativity when it comes to bed linen and light fittings, so let your imagination run wild and make the room 100 per cent your own.
Ethan Allen
ACHIEVE THIS LOOK Contrary to what purists would have you believe, it’s fine to mix up your historic references when decorating, just as long as you keep it subtle. At first glance, the mirrored chest gives this bedroom the feel of the 1930s, a decade which infused 1920s art deco with Hollywood glamour. However, flock (as seen on the cushion) made its debut in the 1600s, and has enjoyed a huge comeback over the past couple of years. Combining its old-fashioned fussiness with plainer ’30s pieces works perfectly.

This month we don our pinnies and check out the best blenders, juicers and food processors on the market.
Y FAMIL E URIT FAVO
& Decker CJ525 CitrusMate Plus Citrus Juicer 1 Black
This one-litre model is great for families: two different-sized cones fit so everyone’s favourite fruit can be accommodated, and its efficient operating system ensures you get the most out of ingredients. Picky kids are catered for with a strainer which separates seeds, and you can vary the amount of pulp according to personal preference. There’s also a cover so you can pop the jug into the fridge for later.
4093 Classic 2 Oster Beehive Blender
The Oster is a well-known favourite. It’s not expensive yet it reliably creates soups, sauces and smoothies, crushes ice and grinds coffee. There’s hi/lo pulse control and the retro beehive design is ultra-stylish. The stainless steel blade comes out for cleaning and the glass container is dishwasher-safe. The instruction booklet contains several recipes in case you’re stuck for inspiration.
DLC-2009CHB 3 Cuisinart 9-Cup Food Processor
This model has a roomy nine-cup bowl, and the extra-large feed tube means you can pop whole fruits and vegetables in without halting the processing. There’s a variety of mechanisms – including a 4mm slicing disc, stainless-steel shredding disc, chopping blade and dough blade – and if you get stuck there’s a how-to DVD as well as booklet. All the parts are dishwasher-safe.

5 Hitachi BL603G Blender
This chic model comes with a 1.5l jug and pulse control. The stainless steel blade is removable for easy cleaning and the measuring cup that comes alongside the sealable cover is a useful addition. There’s ice crusher capability if you fancy yourself as Tom Cruise in Cocktail, while the cord storage is a bonus for tidy types.

Q
I have a tiny kitchen and want to remodel it to make the best use of the space. I want it to look bigger than it is, and for there to be as many surface areas as possible. What do you suggest? With a small kitchen you need to use every possible available space. Put the sink in the corner to maximise the work top space and use clever space-saving gadgets for the interior of cupboards to make the most of those hard-to-get-to spaces. Use a reputable kitchen company who will work with you to create a 3D design of your perfect kitchen - this service should be free and will develop your ideas using their experience. Pictured above is the fitted curve kitchen from the award-winning Metris range of kitchens which is specifically designed to create a June 2010
beautiful kitchen in a smaller space. Metris kitchens are exclusively available in the UAE from Under One Roof. Nick Pope, Under One Roof
Q
What are the latest trends for decorating dining rooms? Lighting is one area where new trends have been implemented. For instance, you’ll see modern interpretations of chandeliers made from materials such as wood and other composites. Remember, though, that the lighting must still work for both the family dinner and the more intimate dinner party and so should always be adjustable - on a dimmer switch. A feature wall of color is making a comeback from the sterile modern look, with wallpapers all the rage. The pattern is almost non-existent; colors are rich and saturated not
the sharp jewel tones that are so last year. The color is limited to one wall and then covered with a large mirror or contrasting artwork. Candles can play an important part, think candles of all sizes, not the flimsy tapered candles from your parent’s tables. For the dining table itself, choose one with solid legs and a cleanlined veneered top - stay away from skinny legs and a flimsy look. The table top is still the most important element as it allows for the most scope in creating a look in the dining room. It is best to have a number of table top accessories, such as napkin rings, various styles and colors of napkins and place mats to mix an match to the look that best suites the occasion. The current trend is toward natural materials: linen for the place mats and napkin rings made from natural materials such as metal and wood. Bright colored plates are out as food never looks good on a red plate. Since much of the flooring is the UAE is stone or tile, having a rug under the table is a must as it will work to absorb sound. Traditional Persian style carpets are no longer in fashion as people look for more modern styles. Keep an eye out for hand-knotted carpets of wool or silk which come in softer colour pallets and often in varying shades of one colour. Rich shades of cinnamon, kiwi skin and pale dove are popular.
