The head of the Real Estate Regulatory Agency in the UAE emirate of Ajman has warned that developers who failed to meet the May 1st registration deadline, will be fined Dhs100,000 per month. Once registration is complete, officials at Arra will assess which projects are still viable, reported Gulf News.

As one of Dubai’s first freehold developments, with first stage construction taking place as far back as 1999, one might think that Dubai Marina would perhaps have become outdated, or at least have lost some of the aura that initially surrounded it when it was announced to the world. Well, you would have thought wrong! In fact the opposite is true. Dubai Marina has continued to go from strength to strength, with more and more developers wanting to get involved in the development, and it today finds itself as one Dubai’s premium areas to own a home. It is certainly one of the most expensive places own an apartment in Dubai, but with so many buildings featured here, there is something on offer for almost all budgets. Just one of the many advantages of a development featuring property from wide range of developers!

The Marina came about as a project from renowned Dubai developer Emaar, who were the master developer and responsible for the basic construction and infrastructure of the project. The results saw 2 miles of Dubai coastline transformed into one of the worlds largest waterfront projects. Emaar has built some of its own towers at the Dubai Marina, but the bulk of the property here comes from a number of other developers, such as ETA Star, Vakson,Tameer and Damac.

The Marina covers just under 5 million square meters of space on Dubai’s coastline, offering impressive views out into the Arabian Gulf. If it’s a sea view you want, then a large amount of the property here will more than meet your requirements! Very few homes can offer such a spectacular setting, overlooking the sea, boats and yachts that are moored here. Prices may be on the high side for the majority of property based here, but overall they have still not reached the levels seen at projects like Down Town Burj Dubai for example, and that cant boast the sea views that the Marina can(although those on a high floor in the Burj Dubai might like to argue differently!).

Just off Sheikh Zayed Road, the Marina provides easy access to central Dubai and to the surrounding commercial districts such as the Dubai Media and Internet Cities, as well as the Jebel Ali freezone. And there is also the Mall of Emirates and over a dozen 5 star hotels all within short distance, meaning the Dubai Marina is ideally situated for both work and play! As freehold residential property goes, you would be well pressed to find a better place to call home.

Dubai is one of the worlds up and coming tourist destinations, and now that expatriates can own property in the Emirate, it is also a popular place to live. Dubai has managed to grow into a cosmopolitan city in such a short space of time, and the future hold no bounds for what interesting, innovative and possibly crazy projects will appear in Dubai over the next few years. The Dubai government have encouraged the increases in infrastructure and freehold properties heavily during the last half decade, and the Emirate is such a great place to live because it is always changing.

Living in Dubai offers residents a lifestyle that is superior to most countries, with luxury hotels, shopping malls, cafes and restaurants in every location possible. Residents are also spoilt by having the beautiful coastline on one side of Dubai, the busy city life in the middle, and the peaceful desert on the other side. Everything you could ever want is here, and to top off everything, the sun is shining almost every day. With freehold property projects on the rise every day, more and more people are investing in a home in Dubai, and with developments to suit every budget, that dream is becoming a reality for more and more people.

One major issue with life in Dubai that residents will certainly agree on is the traffic. There always seems to be busy traffic at rush hour, despite the fact that the road systems are excellent. For this reason, residents will either locate right in the middle of the city to avoid delays, or outside the city to keep life at home more peaceful. Fortunately, there are freehold properties to suit both tastes, with large and small family villas at Emirates Living Community on the outskirts of the city, or the soon to be completed Dubai Sport City, Downtown Dubai and Business Bay developments, which offer Dubai property buyers some fantastic freehold apartment’s right in the middle of Dubai, in what will soon be the financial district.

All Dubai freehold properties come with much more than your average property back home. Properties have excellent surrounding amenities like shops, cafes, restaurants, schools and hotels, as well as superior facilities within the development, where swimming pools and gymnasiums are standard. Owning a Dubai property is a great opportunity for residents that want to stay here permanently, and property investors that are looking for a holiday property in a top tourist destination.
