MAG 218 Events Update, 27 January 2006

The Home Owner Dubai program is still in progress, Saturday 28, January being the last day. It will conclude on this day at 8 p.m. The Madinat Jumeirah is a splendid venue and MAG PDD is prominent as one of the primary sponsors. Attendance by non pre-registered guests is permitted.


The seminars portion of the event has, however, been cancelled in deference to the recent passing away of Dubai's ruler, HH Sheikh Maktoom Bin Rashed Al Maktoom.



The event is especially useful for prospective property buyers providing them a chance to meet with a number of developers and sales agents in one venue. For those particularly interested in the MAG 218 tower, MAG PDD offers a large presentation area with scale model, 3D graphic presentations and a sales team to assist potential buyers.

With regard to sales, the MAG PDD campaign begun in the last quarter of 2005 continues with an offer of Mashreq Bank Millionaire Certificates with purchases of property.

Progress on MAG 218 Foundation Works

Arabian Forasol are in place with equipment ready to begin the excavation process. There has been a delay since the late December announcement of the piling contract by MAG PDD due to construction related issues that unexpectedly came up with master-developer Emaar. It took some two weeks to work out these issues which arose due to the fact that Emaar itself will soon commence construction on its shopping mall adjacent to the MAG 218 plot. Additional details regarding the planned schedule of foundation works will be presented on this website after consultation with the project manager in a week's time.


There are, in fact, a number of issues at play as construction on the MAG 218 tower commences. Among these is the large road works taking place at the nearby Sheikh Zayed Road No. 5 interchange. This involves substantial ground work in the vicinity of the MAG 218 plot. Another is word of a tower to rise adjacent to the MAG 218 (on the NE or Media City side). Master developer Emaar has given assurances to MAG PDD that this tower will be at a distance of at least 20 meters from the MAG 218 tower structure--even though the two towers' podiums will rest side by side.

The MAG 218 Community First Event


Unfortunately not enough participants signed up for the event which was to include a boat ride on the Marina and meeting onsite with the project manager, among other activities. In lieu of this a more casual Coffee Time meet-up was arranged for anyone to drop in on with interest in goings on at the Dubai Marina. The meeting on-site with the project manager has been deferred until next week--Wednesday or Thursday. Anyone interested in joining in may contact me or post a comment below.

Stay-tuned for an informative update following this meeting with the project manager.
