Hilton Hotels signs agreement for first residence in Dubai

pedro_9k6k

Hilton Hotels today announced the signing of its newest property, the Hilton Jumeirah Beach Residence in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), set to open in September 2007. The property is Hilton's first residential offering in Dubai, and builds on the leading hotel brand's 14 established properties in the Arabian Peninsula.

The Hilton Jumeirah Beach Residence is owned by A.A Almoosa Enterprises, and is managed by Hilton International.

Linked with a bridge to Hilton's existing Dubai beach property, Hilton Dubai Jumeirah Resort, the new Residence is part of the exclusive Jumeirah Beach Residence complex, the world's largest single phase project of its kind.

Nestled in the heart of what is now dubbed New Dubai, the complex is a vision of architectural excellence.

The 44-storey Hilton Jumeirah Beach Residence tower reflects a fusion of Arabesque and Mediterranean design elements, resulting in a truly eye-catching landmark overlooking the coastline.

The Residence will open with 371 guest rooms and apartments, each complementing different guests' needs. Apartment types range from one-bedroom right through to four-bedroom, including five loft and two penthouse apartments.

Dining facilities include an all-day restaurant, a specialty cuisine restaurant as well as a bar. To complete the residential experience, the complex also offers a health club, swimming pool and garage parking.

The Residence will complement Hilton's two existing properties in Dubai, Hilton Dubai Jumeirah Resort and Hilton Dubai Creek, in addition to the Hilton Jumeirah Beach Club opening in 2008.

Hi visited Dubai 2 weeks ago this is what I learned. 4 beach clubs run by the jumeirah group, 1 run by the Hilton group all open to JBR residents on a first come first served basis.
Workers say they will be there for at least another 6 months!
JBR gave me coffee, smiled and know nothing!
Security guard says lots to do inside,
JBR say 80% complete.

Dubai Properties will give the handing over to another of their companies
and this will be once the health and safety checks are all compete.
Realistically we are looking at 6 months minimum. my opinion
sorry to be the bringers of bad tidings it has taken me to weeks to calm down.

Well the problem here is not the delays.....(they could never have completed in dec 2006 and they must have known by the start of the second quarter of 2006 that they could not handover within 6 months) and the compensation ( they have covered themselves well in this regard) .....but the lack of information....(none of the staff at jbr know when handovers are going to be including the top management) ...they are now getting a bit worried because until they get confirmation from the handover team they can only give estimates which is not good for them. They have just not planned well and the management is at the mercy of the contactors who are paying dp compensation.

I believe that they have completed 80% of the towers....the problem is that there is a lot of works at the walk and people can't be expected to move in with all the works going on the ground. Further the penthouses are not complete....and they have started with the beach park which clearly can't be ready until Feb/March 2007.....I think we can expect a few more delays ....even my contact is a bit frustrated because handover team can't give them precise dates for now.....only that they will send dates this month......
