Dubai Sports City's signature residential projects, Victory Heights and Canal Residence West, in high demand.
Dubai Sports City, the world's first integrated sports city, was inundated with inquiries regarding its two signature residential developments, Victory Heights and Canal Residence West. Visitor footfall, measured using the take-up rates of the official magazine Update, was approaching quintuple figures as the first day of the event drew to a close.
For Dubai Sports City representatives, this high level of interest represents public enthusiasm for the unique project itself, not least with the high quality living spaces available.
Yasser Abdulla Alraee, General Manager, Victory Heights - a luxurious golf course villa community - said this year his team was overwhelmed by the interest received from both local and international purchasers. Victory Heights' homeowners will reside within and around The Dunes, a signature 72-par golf course designed by seven-times World Match Play winner Ernie Els and a key component of Dubai Sports City.
"Having an internationally-respected name like Ernie Els supporting our development definitely adds hugely to our credibility," says Abdulla Alraee. "In addition to Ernie Els, Troon Golf, the David Lloyd Tennis Academy, the Butch Harmon School of Golf and the Next Generation Clubs completes the series of 'best-of-breed' in sporting business partnerships with Victory Heights."
Feedback from Cityscape Dubai has highlighted the importance of comprehensive community amenities to prospective purchasers.
"Many of our investors are looking for the convenience of community living and are drawn to the world-class facilities available within Victory Heights, which also offers shops, parks and playgrounds for the children, a nursery, kindergarten and international school" added Abdulla Alraee.
A diverse selection of the finest in entertainment and shopping will be on offer throughout Dubai Sports City. Four world-class stadia will host exciting sporting events at local, regional and international levels enabling residents and visitors alike to enjoy a full calendar of events.
Dubai Sports City's signature apartment offering, Canal Residence West, has also received heightened interest during Cityscape, with a number of sales being completed within the first few hours of the show.
"Canal Residence West offers homeowners downtown cosmopolitan living as well as a serene waterfront setting. The project has proven very popular and we now only have a limited number of units remaining across the Venetian, Mediterranean and European buildings," stated Nicky Petts, Marketing Manager, Dubai Sports City.
"Dubai Sports City is a thoughtfully master-planned community, and we're investing a great deal in ensuring that every element of the modern city will appeal to its residents," said U. Balasubramaniam, CEO, Dubai Sports City. "In all, we are confident that Dubai Sports City will offer one of the most attractive lifestyle balances available anywhere in the world, reinforced by a high quality of life and by the quality of the residential developments themselves."
Throughout the construction process, the developers are working closely with Bureau Veritas, a globally-recognised consultant, to provide a guarantee of quality and comfort for both Victory Heights and Canal Residence West homeowners.
