Zabeel Properties has started work on Porto Dubai, aluxury residential development, on a reclaimed peninsula that will feature a "tiered island" design concept for the first time in the UAE. The Porto Dubai will sit beside the Burj Al Arab luxury hotel.

"We have started dredging and reclamation work on the project. Villa construction will commence by year-end, while the project is expected to be completed by 2010," Mohammed Ali Al Hashimi, Executive Chairman, Zabeel Investments

Although he did not comment on the value of the project, Al Hashimi said it will "significantly increase the size of its investment portfolio". Currently, Zabeel Properties has a Dh15 billion worth of residential, commercial and hospitality development portfolio.

Reclamation work is being undertaken by Boskalis Westminster, whilst Nakeel, the real estate subsidiary of Dubai World, is providing assistance and sharing its experience in reclamation and coastal development.

Porto Dubai, which is being built off the coast near the Umm Suqeim Marina, will expand the public beach, the last remaining stretch of public sand on Jumeirah Beach. "There will be no development on any of the nearby public beach areas," Al Hashimi said, assuring Umm Suqeim residents and beachgoers the beach area will be further extended.

The luxury villas in Porto Dubai will be arranged in a circular fashion on the peninsula’s four platforms, which will rise at stretches of four meters to its highest point of 16 meters at the centre. There will be two restaurants, spa and health club.

"Porto Dubai is an exclusive, high-end, luxury residential development. We are confident it will be a premier and most sought-after villa development in the emirate," said Al Hashimi. The company has no plans to raise any debt to fund its projects. "We have ample sources of funding," he said.

Zabeel Investments is a diversified investment firm with business interests spanning real estate development and management, and private equity and asset management across a wide range of economic sectors in the GCC and other markets.

Flagship Hotel Planned for South Beach In Early 2007

NEW YORK (EWORLDWIRE) Aug 23, 2006

New York City-based Citistay Hotels LLC today announced that it is close to completing development plans for its new low-cost, Generation X- and Y-geared hotel chain, with a flagship hotel to open early 2007 in Miami’s South Beach.

"We might end up being the youngest hotel owners around," says Gregory Tubeck, 24, president and founder of Citistay Hotels. Founded in 2005, the company set out to revolutionize a stale and overpriced industry with a new brand that reflects the image and desires of Generation X and Y (the current group of travelers 18-39) who next year as a group are expected to account for over 349 million nights in hotel rooms. By combining the best in modern design, technology and a low-cost structure, management believes it will have the ability to rapidly expand into a nationally leading hotel brand.

"So many of the big hotel companies are spending millions of dollars trying to re-invent themselves and their respective brands - trying to flip a switch and have a whole different way of doing business overnight," states Tubeck. "We’ve promised to create a brand that's honest from the start. This is who we are, what we look like, what we want to accomplish. We are not some sub-brand hiding behind a huge corporate structure."

While plans are in the works to open the company's first hotel in Miami's South Beach, Citistay also plans locations in New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, San Diego and San Francisco. At Citistay Hotels, rates will start significantly under local market value. "The airlines have become so competitive in recent years, slashing their going rates and making leisure travel very affordable. Still, the hotel industry hasn't done its part. Something is wrong with paying $69 dollars to fly to Miami, then spending $250 a night once there. It's time to start changing the way people think about travel as a whole," adds James Lewis, 24, co-founder and vice president.

In addition to value-priced rates, Citistay promises an image not normally associated with budget hotels. "We have found a way to balance a higher star rating with less associated dollar signs," explains Tubeck. The company has retained the designers of Qubed (pronounced "cubed") Design Studio in New York to help create the look and feel of the Citistay brand. "The interior spaces have been designed in a functional, simplistic and modern style. They provide private yet open spaces and focus on a consistent flow throughout. All spaces, though designed with a budget in mind, feel comfortable and luxurious," says Stephanie Kuo of Qubed Design Studio.

Citistay also has patent-pending technology, "CitiScreens," that it plans to use in its guest rooms. Tubeck points out that "CitiScreens is a communications system that we've designed that we think will really excite travelers, and provide them with the smoothest and best quality of both service and options possible."

The company also plans to change the standard way of checking in and out. "No more out by noon and in only after 3 p.m. We’ve got a new way of selling rooms," continues Tubeck. "We are extremely excited about our brand, and the demanding travelers of today and tomorrow will love our designs, services, and our less corporate way of thinking. Citistay truly is the new way to stay."
