Harbour Lights

Amenities

The amenity the brochure leads with is a pool that sits out over the sea. DAMAC presents it as a place to swim lengths or lie in the sun with open water on every side.

The brochure says both the interiors and the amenities take their cue from cruise ships, from rooms it likens to cabins to large swimming pools that face the sea. The register's description of the building includes a dedicated swimming and gym floor, and retail at ground level.

Inside the homes, the brochure describes white and gold detailing on ceilings and walls and large windows that bring in daylight and open onto views of the sea. At floor 52, DAMAC's plans add a private pool to the balcony of each luxury layout.

Design

DAMAC's brochure states that Harbour Lights has designs based on the style of de GRISOGONO, which it calls a luxury and fashion brand. It applies that style to the building's common areas and describes flowing design elements that carry a resident through them.

The payment plan sheet prints the de GRISOGONO name, with the word Geneve, beneath the project title. The company page at the close of the brochure lists de Grisogono among several brands with which DAMAC says it has built homes.

Nearby

DAMAC's brochure sets Dubai Maritime City between Port Rashid and Drydocks World, and describes the district as one that brings the maritime industry together in one place while offering residents an urban way of life. It calls the setting the centre of a maritime hub and gives the district its own map page.

The DLD register places the project in the Madinat Dubai Almelaheyah area, community Dubai Maritime City. Our Dubai Maritime City investment guide covers the district in more depth, and every project brief we publish there is listed on the Dubai Maritime City projects page.

Brochure

The brochure offered with this page is DAMAC's Harbour Lights brochure, 38 pages. Its first part covers the location, the tower, the floating pool, the interiors and the de GRISOGONO design. The floor-plan section follows: key pages showing each layout's place on the floor plate with its list of floors, then the unit layouts drawn room by room. The closing page gives DAMAC's company overview.

Buyer checks

Before committing to any off-plan unit, these are the questions we would put to the developer and check against the sale and purchase agreement:

• Which floor is the unit on, and which layout type and plan does the agreement attach to it?
• What area does the sale and purchase agreement state for the unit, and on what basis is it measured?
• What sale date does the agreement set, given that each time-based instalment falls due a set number of months after it?
• How are the 70%, 80% and 90% completion milestones certified, and how will the buyer be told when each is reached?
• Does the escrow account named in the agreement match the escrow account the DLD register records for the project?
• What service charge does the developer estimate for the building, and on what area is it charged?
• Is the unit a first sale from the developer or a resale, and what has already been paid on it?
