shiner,
You got more out of the contractor than me.
I was told it is all on schedule.
I guess it is normal practice to announce the delay at the end, just in case they catch up and make it in time (or am I just hopeful?)
After everything that has happened, I was happy just to see it being built!
Do you know about the Google group called "Pacific Owners" where we can discuss things on more privacy?
It would be useful for you to join it.
I was there end of Feb 2010...Got in with some big talk and persuading...
The contractual completion date is 30th June 2011.
Having spoken to the contractor - this completion date is unlikely !!!
Mid to 3rd quarter 2012 is a more realistic date.
There are problems not just with the Island (master developer and other projects) but with this project. They are encountering problems with water seeping through. Machines are running to remove this water.
One block A has been built. The rest should not be a problem assuming they can resolve the problem with the water. Will take time though !
My concern is why doesnt Select be honest and mention this in their update (due this month). Why does the investor pay 90% of funds by Sept 2010 and have to wait to be told like some mug that this contract date will not be met. Hence why they are no longer allowing site visits and mentioning H&S reasons. :thumpdown:
The Island itself is not progressing...the 2 other developments that are visible ... Marbella Bay and the other with the 6 pyramid structures (name forgotten) are along way of from being complete (structure). Khoie Development you may as well forget ! (does not deserve to be mentioned in this talk)...other projects not known - not visible ! :evil:
Select we wait on your March update !!!! Dont fool us !!! :thumpdown:
Rakeen (master developer) dont know what they are doing as you expect a big push on getting the infrastructure in place and resolving issues with all projects.
I am back in Dubai in April ......might visit RAK :willy:
Please let me know what you think with this update
