They look rather nice, very Green Community/Union Properties, so it's bound to end up looking good at the end. What’s the price ranges?

It is the UAE after all; I said that before, I heard on a local radio an Emirate complaining about Emaar. He said that they don’t post locals in their advertisement. I am telling u, as a local, it is really annoying to see ourselves disappear in ur own country. Those advertisements are something to lie to ourselves that we are still fine

It’s not about disrespect towards locals. The reason why that is because locals prefer to stay in villa's as privacy is on the top of the requirement list. Hell, it would be cool if I had local neighbors in my building, that way I would get to try their home made Arabic food and they could try our Asian food
