MUSCAT -- The Wave, Muscat yesterday said that the response to the launch of the Shoreside Villas and the luxurious Almeria South Apartments was outstanding.

Just over 100 properties were sold out within just a few hours. The properties at Almeria South offer the first opportunity to purchase freehold apartments within the Sultanate, with residents living at the heart of the vibrant marina village. The demand for these 1, 2 and 3 bedroom properties was extremely high.

The release of Shoreside villas, whilst offering a completely different lifestyle to that of apartment living, was also received with great enthusiasm. Residents at Shoreside Villas will benefit from peace and tranquillity being situated just minutes away from both the 6km natural beach, and the park areas.

The Wave, Muscat is being developed through a joint venture comprising Oman's Waterfront Investments (representing the government of Oman), National Investment Funds Company (representing the Omani Pension Funds), and the UAE-based Majid Al Futtaim Group.

Speaking about the response to this sales launch, John Langford, vice-president sales and marketing, The Wave, Muscat said: "We were delighted at the tremendous response to the release of the Almeria South apartments and the Shoreside villas. The properties offer two different lifestyles for residents, which come together to create the truly unique proposition that is offered at The Wave, Muscat.

"We thank all of our customers, some of whom queued for 24 hours to secure their dream home. This is yet another indication that The Wave, Muscat is seen as the most desirable place to live."

Overlooking the Gulf of Oman, The Wave, Muscat is a fully master planned community occupying a total area of 2,500,000 square metres along 6km of natural beach. The Wave, Muscat once complete, will be home to 4,000 dwelling owners from all nationalities, a signature 18 hole green golf course designed by the legendary Greg Norman, 300 berth marina, four luxury hotels, villas, retail and restaurant outlets. Located within a 10-minute drive from the centre of town, the community will be within driving distance from the numerous authentic attractions of Muscat while enjoying world class amenities and facilities.
