Marquis Signature, Arjan
Marquis Signature, a mid-rise apartment block, stands in Arjan, Dubai; a subsidiary of Marquis Developers developed it. This brief is for owners of units in the building, buyers looking at it on the resale market and anyone setting it beside other finished projects in the area. It covers the register record, the specification and the immediate surroundings.
Apartments and specification
Its apartments have one, two or three bedrooms. Every layout is specified with ceilings 3 metres high, porcelain floors, walk-in wardrobes, fire-rated entrance doors, thermally broken frames around double glazing and balconies that connect neighbouring rooms. Balcony ceilings are specified in timber, lit by LEDs and planted with creepers.
Two-bedroom apartments add a third full bathroom, a corridor that separates the bedrooms from the living space, and a store or maid's room. Three-bedroom apartments are specified with a master suite and its own dressing area off the bathroom, three full bathrooms plus a guest washroom, a store or maid's room and a landscaped terrace; some of them have a private pool and a balcony garden.
Shared facilities
By the specification, shared facilities take up 20% of the space in the building. Those named for the project are:
- a double-height lobby with a concierge desk
- a business centre with meeting rooms, lounges for discussion, work pods and desks
- a private cinema, plus a room for games
- a fitness room, sauna, steam room and yoga deck
- a children's play area and a cafe
- a rooftop barbecue area beside a cascading water feature
- charging points for electric vehicles
Smart controls are specified for the apartments, and owners can pay maintenance fees, register visitors and raise service requests through an app. At street level the building holds a coffee shop and a medical clinic.
Arjan
Arjan is a freehold community of mixed uses. It began in 2006 as one part of Dubailand, the theme-park-led programme laid out for this side of the city, and work there stopped in 2010 when the financial crisis hit. The plan in force today splits the community into 10 zones holding 157 plots, with enough apartments for 67,000 residents, with room for offices, retail and hotels. Its two visitor attractions came early: Dubai Miracle Garden opened in 2013, and two years later came Butterfly Park.
