(22 April 2012)
Tourism Development & Investment Company (TDIC), master developer of Saadiyat in Abu Dhabi, today announced the launch of its exclusive 100 per cent mortgage offer in partnership with Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB). This exclusive offer has been launched to coincide with TDIC’s participation at Cityscape Abu Dhabi 2012, and will be available for a limited time only. It applies to home purchases from TDIC’s residential communities on Saadiyat: Saadiyat Beach Villas and The Residences at St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi. The offer demonstrates the progress which has been made in Abu Dhabi’s real estate market and is also a testimonial to the high quality of TDIC’s projects.
TDIC’s residential communities on Saadiyat have continued to receive high levels of interest over the last year. Saadiyat Beach Villas is located in the Saadiyat Beach district of the island, and consists of high-end homes that are available in sizes ranging from three to six bedrooms and in three architectural styles: Arabian, Mediterranean and Contemporary. The first phase of the development, which consists of 254 villas, was announced in 2009 and completely sold out; due to this immense success, a second batch of 90 villas was released in November 2011 to meet demand. TDIC has now begun the handover of the first phase villas to their owners; second phase handover will begin in Q4 2012 and TDIC has already seen a high demand for these new villas. Leasing and lease-to-own options are also available on these villas. The demand for this product is attributed to the high-quality finishes that are found in each villa.
Ahmed Al Fahim, Executive Director of Marketing, Communications, Sales & Leasing at TDIC, said: “We’re pleased to partner with ADCB and launch this attractive offer to the market. For a limited time only, prospective homeowners can sign up to our 100 per cent financing offer and move into one of our stunning properties on Saadiyat immediately. The island’s residential offerings are truly spectacular and nothing else in the market today can compare, which is why we encourage those who are interested to drop in and visit us at Cityscape for further information.”
Arup Mukhopadhyay, Head of Consumer Banking Group at ADCB, said, “At ADCB we fully understand our customers’ needs and ambitions, with this in mind we have created a unique financial product which will help our customers secure their dream home in the prime real estate development on Saadiyat Island. Through this, the bank reaffirms its commitment to supporting the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Sector and the future sustainable development of the UAE economy.”
Also found on the island are The Residences at The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort – a prestigious collection of 32 exclusive villas, 259 apartments and five penthouses. Located on Saadiyat Beach, these apartments and villas offer residents the first opportunity to live in St. Regis-branded residences in the region, and feature stunning views of the Arabian Gulf and Saadiyat Beach Golf Club. The villas come in four and five bedroom sizes, while the apartments are available in studios, one, two, three, and four bedrooms. Residents enjoy access to the pristine shores of Saadiyat Beach, as well as St. Regis-branded privileges and benefits, such as 24-hour butler services and in-residence catering, in the comfort of their own homes.
The success of Saadiyat’s residential communities can be attributed to the exclusive lifestyle that the island offers to its residences. In 2011, Saadiyat came to life, as various exciting hospitality and cultural projects launched, helping to secure the island’s appeal as an inviting destination for residents and visitors. In November 2011, TDIC opened the St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, Abu Dhabi – a stunning 377-room hotel, which features an impressive spa and a wide variety of fine dining restaurants. Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi Hotel and Villas, which was developed by Abu Dhabi National Hotels (ADNH), has also opened its doors on the island, offering 270 rooms, multi-functional event facility, a spa, and a number of restaurants. The island’s new offerings, together with the already opened Monte-Carlo Beach Club, Saadiyat and Saadiyat Beach Golf Club are set on one of the most pristine beaches the UAE has to offer, making Saadiyat a very appealing residential address.
