Vela Residences in Business Bay, Dubai, UAE
The development of the architecture and design of the Vela Residences residential complex is conducted by a team of professional architects and designers from Gilles & Boissier and Foster+Partners. The latter is the creator of the Apple headquarters in California and the winner of the Pritzker Prize.
The residential complex will be managed by the large hotel brand, the Dorchester Collection, managing hotels in the most prestigious cities in the world such as Paris, Rome, Los Angeles, Dubai and others.
The tower features a prime location in the Business Bay area, on Marasi Dr Street, on the coast of Marasi Bay. The windows of the residences will offer stunning views of the sea canal and the marina. The building provides convenient access to the area’s major highways, providing residents with quick access to all the key locations of the emirate. The international airport can be reached in just 15 minutes.
During the residential tower’s construction, the developer plans to completely modernise the area near Marasi Bay. A modern marina with a world-class yacht club, a huge city beach, a beach club and other facilities for a pleasant stay and leisure will be created here.
Purchasing real estate in Vela Residences
Today, the new residential complex is at the initial stage of construction. This means that you have a great opportunity to buy off-plan real estate in Vela Residences directly from the developer at a price below the market. Residences in the community belong to the ultra-luxury real estate category. The apartments will be commissioned completely ready for occupation and will feature premium materials, artistically-designed furniture and European brand household appliances. Gilles & Boissier were responsible for the exquisite interior design.
The starting price for a 3-bedroom apartment is AED 30 million (USD 8.16 million). The price of a 4-bedroom residence starts at AED 45 million (USD 12.2 million).
People purchasing property in Vela Residences can take advantage of instalment payments. The initial payment when booking an apartment is 5% of its total price. 55% of the amount is then paid during the construction stage and 40% is to be paid once the property is commissioned. Foreign buyers of real estate in the residential complex can take advantage of the programme for obtaining a "golden" resident visa in the UAE. The document is issued for 5 years and allows you to legally live, work and have a business in the Emirates.
