Are you for real? 3 years? HOW/WHY? who is your agent? Also who is building the china in Phase 3? i know there are private developments in Phase 3 unlike Phase 1 which is all Nakheel built. 3 years is disgraceful. What is the reason for the delay? im keen to here more. Ive purchased in Toronto Tower and its been delayed for around 6 months due to master plan changes but not 3 years!

Hi, We have bought with GoWealthy and the actual developer is MBC Realty in Dubai, We've quizzed them on why the delays but they cannot explain why! This was one of the earlier projects to be marketed in Phase 3, I hope this doesn't spell delays for other phase 3 projects.
We are now left in Limbo - Do we stick with our investment or reclaim our money back. We're almost tempted to sick with our purchase as prices in IC are going up especially in Phase 3......

Hi. I have bought a 14th floor apt in Global Palm View which is in International City Phase III. Has anyone got any pics of this development in progress?

is Aljawzaa affected??

This is shocking, I have purchased in Global Garden View which was due to be completed in December 2007, this has been delayed until between May 2008 and October 2008. This is a problem as i was counting on the rental income to help with another purchase that i have made. I am starting to get a bit concerned about International city phase III.

I bought apartment of Global Garden view phase 3 from Besthomes Augst 05, and i shocked when heard that it has been postponed up to 9 months due to nakheel is going redesign the whole phase 3 project.

My salesman said that phase 3 is gone be far better than phase 1 and 2 when it completed. what do you think?
why nakheel has redesigned phase 3?
any update will be appreciated
Regards
Reygal

I have purchased a 1Bed in IC Phase III Vancouver Tower, does anyone know if the construction for this building has been delayed ?

...the truth is people, from my experience anyway, that the developers in Dubai are making HUGE gains from foreign investment BUT they also think NOTHING of their foreign customers. There is another user on this very forum who is condemning customer service levels generally in DUbai. I also second his opinion and believe me, it is for that VERY reason that I have decided to sell my apartment in IC Phase III and part company from Dubai. I once believed in the hype but not any more. You cant get any information out of the developer EVER. It is a huge struggle to get any response from anyone in Dubai, via email, phone or fax. Its like banging your head against a Brick Wall. When you do get help its normally someone telling you to contact someone else...they love sending you chasing for information. They cant be bothered. In honesty, having been Dubai many times, I have experienced generally that they dont understand and value customer service - something i value as a priority especially if im pumping lots of money into a company. I have luckily managed to re-sell my apartment. Yes everything is delayed, but they NEVER tell you for how long (theyre probably lying anyway) and also those service and maintenance charges in your contracts, well expect them to double when constuction is complete. Nakheel has done this very thing to IC Phase 1apartments. Theyll certainly do this in Phase III. Dubai would be a dream place - its a great country - but i feel the people behind that dream (the developers) are going to ruin it for everybody if they dont sort out the fact that communication is key. Thats my rant people. Have your say.

ikqureshi,
I agree with you on the whole, but remember this is a very young industry in dubai. I have just bought a studio in the UK and it has taken 4 months to get my hands on the deeds.
Most developers in dubai have in their contracts that if there is a delay of 6mths or more, they will pay you compensation/interest. If the plan is to earn income from day1 on completion at the date specied by the developer, then a lot of people will be disappointed. My studio in the UK has been empty for 4 mths, i cant find anyone interested to rent it.
But as you say, they can do a lot more to improve their customer relations.
