Finishing touches continue at Damac's "The Crescent"

Combining the convenience of the Emirates Road with a setting of lush and green landscaping, The Crescent is a stylish three tower development offering studio, one and two bedroomed apartments. Thanks to an innovative floor plan all apartments have views of the picturesque landscape and will be able to enjoy this quiet cocoon in the middle of Dubai.

Landscaping of the gardens is expected to be completed by the end of next month with an array of different plants and features being used to create a green haven in the centre of the development. Palms and ornamental trees will give a distinctly tropical feel while ground cover plants and rocks are being used to create interest and colour for residents. Work on the fountains within the complex has already been completed and the residents' swimming pool is currently being tested.

CEO of Damac Properties Peter Riddoch said:

"The Crescent will offer residents a wonderful green environment in which to live and careful consideration has gone into the landscaping part of the project. The outdoor environment will reflect the style and luxury of The Crescent apartments themselves and we are delighted to see this project now nearing its completion."

Inside the building snagging works are underway with representatives from Damac's Customer Relations Team undertaking regular visits to the site. All electrical appliances have been delivered as has the equipment for the shared gym at the development. Lifts are also expected to be completed this month.

Meanwhile Damac's design team has also started the process for the design and decoration of the lobby area which will feature marble and also the choice of soft furnishings and finishings for the reception area.

Damac Properties' will hand over 848 units at The Crescent in Q4 and Mr Riddoch added that he believed this development would be yet another landmark property in the company's iconic property portfolio.

"Today, Damac Properties' epitomises high-end luxury and high investment returns through its projects in the region. The Crescent is a fine example of combining the most stylish and modern apartments in an eco-sensitive setting," he said.
