Delivery of homes in Samarah Rift has commenced this month
Construction of phase two has started with work of building D
Amman, Jordan: Emaar International Jordan, the developer for the Samarah Dead Sea Resort, recently invited new owners, prospective owners and their families to enjoy a day of Rift living at the Dead Sea. The fun family event took place during Eid Al Adha to showcase the finished buildings and the model apartments that are now available.
The Samarah Dead Sea Resort is owned by the Dead Sea Touristic and Real Estate Investment Company, a venture of Emaar Properties PJSC and a group of regional and Jordanian investors. The resort is a residential, retail and leisure project developed in line with the growth plan outlined by the King Abdullah II Fund for Development and developed by Emaar International Jordan.
Rift Living, located on the Dead Sea near the King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Center (KHBTCC), consists of six low rise buildings known as 'The Rift Apartments'. The Dead Sea's newest buildings are one, two, and three bedroom units, with the community featuring a Beach Club, swimming pools, and gym. In addition to the 115 new units, dining and shopping facilities are integrated in the community. Three of the six buildings are now available for homeowners.
The construction contract for the second phase of Rift Living, the remaining three buildings, was awarded to the Hussein Atieh Establishment (HAE) company this month. HAE, a Jordanian company, received the contract due to their record of timely project completions in the Kingdom.
Emaar assigned three buildings in Rift Living to HAE, thus creating jobs and boosting the economy in Jordan. Mr. Tarik Awad, Vice Chairman, The Dead Sea Touristic and Real Estate Investment Company, and Mr. Hussein Atieh, General Manager of Hussein Atieh Establishment Company (HAE), signed the contract agreement in Amman.
Mr. Peter Titus, General Manager for Emaar International Jordan said: "We are proud to announce the on-time completion of the first phase of Rift Living Apartments. Our new contractor for the second phase, HAE, is working hard to ensure that buildings D, E, and F are completed on time as well."
Throughout November, the three completed Rift Living buildings (buildings A, B, and C) were opened to guests and homebuyers. The Samarah buildings were delivered on time as promised. Rift Living features Mediterranean-style multi-family apartments with modern high quality finishes and fittings, an outdoor balcony or terrace, central air-conditioning, and parking spaces, in addition to green common areas, pools and other community facilities.
A majority of the new units have already been purchased by Jordanian families, who were invited for a barbeque and tour of the new facilities during Eid. In addition to children's entertainment, guests also viewed model apartments, and other amenities within the development. The media also received an invitation to view Samarah's Rift Living community after the holiday.
The family day and media tour allowed guests to experience the unique lifestyle created at the new resort. Guests were also able to see the progress on the construction of Building D in the second phase. Rift Living is an all-encompassing, multi-functional community with opportunities for year-round entertainment complementing the existing Convention Center and hotel resorts in the area. The construction of a new 285-room hotel will also commence in 2011 consolidating the life style living offering at the Samarah Resort.
