The huge queues and outstanding sales are clear evidence of both the market’s buoyancy and the strong reputation Nakheel has built for delivering quality products. Jumeirah Park is located within Dubai’s most desirable district, and we expect sales to continue with the impressive momentum shown on the first day.”Manal Shaheen, Director Sales, Marketing & Customer Services, said: “These sales are a clear ‘seal of approval’ from the market recognizing both what Nakheel has already achieved, and will continue to achieve in the future: bold, innovative, and visionary projects that meet our customers’ needs. Sales of the first phase have now closed but there will be new phases launched in the future.“The new property law announced in March has not only helped welcome new breeds of investor, but has also attracted more home financiers into the market. Jumeirah Park is a development which focuses on family, and as such we want to make it as easy as possible for families to invest in this development. Amlak, Barclays, HSBC, and Tamweel are all companies with excellent pedigrees, and such a strong portfolio of mortgage provided excellent choice for the consumer – a fact witnessed with the excellent opening day sales at Jumeirah Park.”
