About the Community

The MAG 218 Tower Association

A community association (or building association) of some form is necessary to, at the least, make decisions about the management of the common areas of the MAG 218 property. The common areas will include the parking, grounds, entrance, lobby, corridors and health and recreational facilities. At a minimal level a community association is required by decree of the ownership contract and in respect of UAE civil laws to properly manage the property once the developer has completed construction and the first unit owners have taken possession of their property.

This association will be required to enter into a management agreement with a suitable party and appoint a building manager. From time to time the association will also need to decide on rules to govern the management and use of common areas. By decree of the ownership contract only a unit owner may become a member of the association, therefore other residents, although part of the larger MAG 218 community, will not belong to the MAG 218 Tower Association. Further details regarding the powers and responsibilities of the association can be reveiwed in the Constitution of the MAG 218 Tower Association included in the ownership contract.

The MAG 218 (Online) Community

The present online community is in effect separate and disticnt from the MAG 218 Tower Association, which is unlike this community a legal entity. There will be some overlap in membership, however the online community will by its very nature involve more open participation not limited to unit owners. Although not having a formal membership, the online community may be thought of as an association with respect to organizing activities or events whether online or in the real world. The online community will, however, function primarily as a forum for discussion and exchange of information. By contrast the MAG 218 Tower Association will function primarily to carry out or oversee the management of the common-hold elements of the property.

The Acivities of the MAG 218 (Online) Community

The following is a list of activities and ideas that participants in the online community may choose to undertake:

  • Discuss topics of interest related to ownership and residency at the MAG 218 Tower.
  • Raise questions with the property developer, future building management, the sales consultant and other involved parties.
  • Share information of relevance to owners and residents of the property.
  • Source news articles and other information related to the MAG 218 tower and larger Dubai Marina community.
  • Organize community events to take place (upon completion of the tower) in the community areas and off-premises.
  • Offer suggestions on rules and policy to the MAG 218 Tower Association.
Ideas for Community Events

Although limited to an online format at present, the MAG 218 Community should eventually function as a living community on site at the MAG 218 Tower. At such time the organization of community events should become one of its primary functions.

The following are ideas for in-house activities:

  • movie nights
  • pot lucks
  • country theme nights
  • cultural or religious holiday programs
  • exhibits (art, photos, collections, etc.)
  • language lessons (for fun)
  • music or book appreciation meetings
  • pool parties
The following are ideas for off-site activities:

  • barbeques
  • beach outings
  • team sports
