Emaar International Jordan, the country subsidiary of Emaar Properties, said yesterday it has launched the second phase of The Apartments at Rift Living, a key component of the Samarah Dead Sea Resort master-planned community.
The Mediterranean-styled low-rise towers are designed by a team of international designers with a focus on maximising space utilisation.
A select number of units from five buildings in the second phase of The Apartments will be offered for sale ranging from studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments as well as two-bedroom lofts.
Currently on display are studios, one- to three-bedroom apartments and one-and-two bedroom lofts ranging in size from 52 square metres to 255 sq m in area.
Emaar International Jordan had launched the first phase of The Apartments to strong domestic and international response.
The recent declaration by the Jordanian Government to develop Dead Sea as an official Development Area has further boosted the demand for world-class homes in the region, which Samarah Dead Sea Resort offers.
Homes will open for sale on Saturday with a financial institution providing easy home finance packages.
Prices will start at JD101,888 (Dh527,852).
Emaar will also showcase the homes in its international markets, including the UAE and other Gulf countries to reach out to investors and home buyers.
Radzi Zakaria, General Manager, Emaar International Jordan, said the launch of the homes advances the development of Samarah Dead Sea Resort and the sustained demand for world-class residences in Jordan.
"The concerted efforts of the government to shore up the economy and create a new development dynamics, particularly for the Dead Sea region, have contributed to boosting market sentiment."
He added: "The second phase of The Apartments will also be amenity-rich and offer residents easy access to the Beach Club, thus assuring a modern, marina-inspired lifestyle.
"All homes have the highest aesthetic standards and design specifications that are specifically aimed at enhancing the quality of living. Contracts for the second phase will be awarded soon with the first homes scheduled to be handed over in 2010."
The homes have spacious rooms, walk-in closets, and bathrooms and kitchens with superior fittings. The large windows and balcony opening to spectacular views of the Dead Sea allow for generous inflow of light. The interiors reflect the natural colour palette the blue of the Dead Sea and desert-brown complemented by honey and cream shades for kitchen cabinets and fittings.
Lifestyle amenities include retail outlets, hotels, the Beach Club and leisure areas.
The Rift Living homes are located on the Dead Sea, adjacent to the waterway and across Wadi Mukheiris from the King Hussein bin Talal Convention Centre and Samarah Dead Sea Resort Sales Centre, adding to their accessibility.
