Dubai, UAE; October 10, 2018: Emaar Development, the global developer, today announced its partnership with Dubai Islamic Bank, the UAE’s largest Islamic Bank, to provide an exclusive and value-added home finance programme for Emaar’s customers. Assuring exceptional value for investors, the home financing is the most attractive and unheard of in the market today for its affordability and potential to earn greater than 10% return on investment.

Amit Jain, Group CEO of Emaar Properties and Dr. Adnan Chilwan, Group CEO of Dubai Islamic Bank, were present amongst other senior officials of both entities at the signing ceremony in Dubai.
With the new home financing solution, owning a home Emaar’s world-class residences in elegantly designed master-planned communities, is more affordable than ever before. Among several benefits, customers can benefit from extended 25-year financing, with zero per cent financing cost for the first five years.

Emaar’s investors include people from China, Singapore and Southeast Asia, South Asia, Japan, the UK and rest of Europe, the US, Egypt and from across the wider Middle East and North Africa, making it the most diverse in its customer-base compared to the real estate companies in China or any other part of the world.

Dubai Creek Tower, the global icon in the heart of the 6 sq km Dubai Creek Harbour, has completed concrete placement for the pile cap two months ahead of scheduled completion. The concrete pouring commenced in September last year and reached over 50 per cent completion in January 2018.

Dubai Creek Tower’s pile cap is an approximately 20m thick multi-layered, tiered reinforced concrete top that covers and transfers the load to the foundation barrettes. With this milestone, 50,000 cubic meters of concrete has been poured, weighing about 120,000 tonnes or the weight of the CN Tower in Canada. About 16,000 tonnes of steel reinforcement has also been placed, just over twice the weight of the Eiffel Tower.

In October 2016, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed marked the ground-breaking of the tower, with the foundation work accomplished in a record time. The tower’s 145 barrette piles were tested to a world record load of 36,000 tonnes and laid 72 metres deep to firmly secure the super-structure.

Over 450 skilled professionals from across the world are working on site highlighting the global collaboration that marks the construction of the new iconic structure. Designed by Spanish/Swiss architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava Valls, Dubai Creek Tower will feature several observation decks such as the Pinnacle Room and VIP Observation Garden Decks.

Dubai Creek Tower will add incredible economic value to Dubai Creek Harbour, a mixed-use development located near the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary that is home to over 67 species of water birds and is protected by the UNESCO Ramsar Convention.

A vibrant new community will take shape in a trend-setting Riviera-style neighbourhood as the first residences in Creek Island Dubai, the premier district in Dubai Creek Harbour, are being readied for hand-over.

The result of meticulous planning by world-class architects and landscaping artists, Creek Island Dubai is a one-of-a-kind waterfront destination will bring lavish island living to over 33,500 residents. Set against the backdrop of Dubai’s awe-inspiring skyline and the natural beauty of the historic creek, Creek Island Dubai will deliver a never-before waterfront lifestyle in the heart of the city, only 10 minutes from the Dubai International Airport and the iconic Bur Khalifa, as well as overlooking the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, home to rich mangroves and migratory birds including the pink flamingos.

Also next-door is Dubai Square, the new metropolis that is set to usher in a new era in retail and leisure.

The first homes to be delivered in Creek Island Dubai are in Dubai Creek Residences, a six-tower residential development with only 872 homes. In fact, the very-first residential launch in the master-development, Dubai Creek Residences captures the true essence of a vibrant harbour and the Creek Marina lifestyle, and is nestled between the yacht club, pools, a world-class marina and a boulevard glowing with activity.

All six towers feature incredible panoramas over Dubai Creek Harbour and Downtown Dubai on the opposite side of the wondrous Dubai Creek. Nearly 90 per cent of the construction has been completed for hand-over in the first quarter of 2019.

More than 4,000 residents will have the pride of being the first ones to move in to their new address. Work on all supporting infrastructure is progressing as per schedule with easy access from the Ras Al Khor thoroughfare already in place.
