Rakeen completes refurbishment of model units to showcase actual features and ambience of Bab Al Bahr residences

The model one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, which are conveniently located along the main road shortly before the entrance to Al Marjan Island, are equipped with the same state-of-the-art facilities of the actual apartments and have been built overlooking the coastline of the Arabian Gulf, giving a realistic foretaste of the views of the Bab Al Bahr residences.

Rakeen has accordingly invited investors and interested buyers to visit the newly revamped model units to have a clear overview of the properties on offer at Bab Al Bahr. Designed in line with the emirate's goal of becoming a major lifestyle destination in the region, Bab Al Bahr is Rakeen's first end-user development and its flagship project on the peninsula of Ras Al Khaimah's Al Marjan Island, the first man-made island in Ras Al Khaimah.

Yahia Kambris, Technical Director, Rakeen, said,

"We have spared no effort and cost to provide our clients a clear idea of how their apartments at Bab Al Bahr will look like. Through these model units, we want those who have bought properties at Bab Al Bahr to feel excited about their investments and be enthusiastic about moving into their dream homes. For those who are interested in buying a unit, we want to show them the special features that distinguish this development as a premium residential destination in the region."

Jeremy Savory, Commercial Director, Rakeen, added, "Bab Al Bahr is Rakeen's first end-user development, which has been designed to redefine living in Ras Al Khaimah and to add value to the emirate's community. With its exclusive beachfront location and stunning views, Bab Al Bahr is a residential development conducive to relaxation and will serve as a new landmark in the emirate. While awaiting the highly anticipated handover during the second half of 2010, we are inviting residents and interested buyers to visit the model units, which we believe will help them generate unique ideas for the physical arrangements and additional furnishings they want to include in their residences."

The mock-up units of Bab Al Bahr offer a contemporary design with traces of Arabic culture and tradition. They also feature warm and bright interiors with elegant and aesthetically appealing furnishings that blend tastefully with the finishing of the units. Bab Al Bahr is the inaugural development project within Al Marjan Island and - as its Arabic translation implies - serves as a gateway to the integrated island community.
