“To sell out phase one of our project in less than one week is remarkable and due to that success, we are now launching phase two of the project,” said Abdulla Bin Sulayem, CEO, Seven Tides.

“Furthermore, this underscores the point that if you offer investors a compelling proposition, based on ROI, location and quality, they will invest irrespective of overall market sentiment and that is essentially, our three-pronged marketing strategy.    

“We are offering excellent value at a competitive price point. In addition, we offer a very attractive easy payment option consisting of a 5% deposit, followed by payments equal to 6% of the cost price to be paid every subsequent quarter, with a completion date of Q3 2021. We estimate that studios should yield 12% per annum.

Studio units proved to be most popular with 572 sales valued at AED 226,844,420, followed by one-bedroom units which recorded sales worth AED 51,335,958 and sales of two and three-bedroom units were worth AED 236, 833, 970.

The nationality of investors was one of the most diverse Seven Tides has witnessed in recent years. Indian investors have bought 17% of the units sold so far; UAE nationals and Pakistani investors purchased 7% each; followed closely by British, Russian, Saudi and Canadian nationals, acquiring 6.8%, 6.1%, 5.1% and 4.7% respectively.

“In total, investors from 14 different countries have secured units during our initial sales launch, which underscores the broad-based appeal SE7EN CITY JLT, is having with investors,” said Bin Sulayem.

“And when residents do venture outside, they’ll still be able to enjoy the urban vibe, with the excitement and fast-paced, hustle and bustle of city life, right on their doorstep. Alternatively, in complete contrast, residents will also enjoy the stunning panoramic views of Jumeirah Islands, the Montgomerie and Emirates Golf Courses, the Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Beach Residences,” added Bin Sulayem.
