Rakeen, one of the region's leading property developers and master planners, said it has completed a comprehensive overhaul of the model apartments for Bab Al Bahr.

The model one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, located along the main road shortly before the entrance to Al Marjan Island, are equipped with the same facilities of the actual apartments and have been built overlooking the coastline of the Arabian Gulf, giving a realistic foretaste of the views of the Bab Al Bahr residences.

The units are a value-added offering that gives clients a preview of the actual features, amenities, layout and ambience of their dream homes, said a senior official.

Rakeen has accordingly invited investors and interested buyers to visit the newly revamped model units to have a clear overview of the properties on offer at Bab Al Bahr. The mock-up units of Bab Al Bahr offer a contemporary design with traces of Arabic culture and tradition.

Designed in line with the emirate's goal of becoming a major lifestyle destination in the region, Bab Al Bahr is Rakeen's first end-user development and its flagship project on the peninsula of Al Marjan Island, the first man-made island in Ras Al Khaimah.

Yahia Kambris, technical director, Rakeen, said, 'We have spared no effort and cost to provide our clients a clear idea of how their apartments at Bab Al Bahr will look like. Through these model units, we want those who have bought properties at Bab Al Bahr to feel excited about their investments and be enthusiastic about moving into their dream homes.'

'For those who are interested in buying a unit, we want to show them the special features that distinguish this development as a premium residential destination in the region,' he remarked.

Jeremy Savory, commercial director, Rakeen, added, 'Bab Al Bahr is Rakeen’s first end-user development, which has been designed to redefine living in Ras Al Khaimah and to add value to the emirate’s community.'

'With its exclusive beachfront location and stunning views, Bab Al Bahr is a residential development conducive to relaxation and will serve as a new landmark in the emirate.'

'While awaiting the highly anticipated handover during the second half of 2010, we are inviting residents and interested buyers to visit the model units, which we believe will help them generate unique ideas for the physical arrangements and additional furnishings they want to include in their residences,' he added.-TradeArabia News Service
