Safety and Security
Every precaution has been taken to ensure that the development is safe and secure for residents. For example, the building has CCTV surveillance and 24-hour security. Moreover, the security staff is certified by the Dubai Police. To align with the precautionary measures being followed across the city temperature checks are also carried out on visitors in the lobby before they are allowed entry.
Plenty of parking spaces
The residential building in Dubai has a total of 97 parking spaces located on the ground floor. So, there is plenty to go around for residents.
Family friendly community
Suncity Homes has been designed as a family-friendly facility. Residents here have easy access to the four retail units that are located on the ground floor — a convenient option since it means they won’t have to drive anywhere to shop for basic daily needs.
Additionally, the development features a spacious garden with swing sets and a shaded area with benches on the second floor. A fully-equipped gym is also located on this floor. Apart from the state of the art equipment, the spacious gymnasium has a separate space to keep kids occupied while their parents work out.
The development provides easy access to main roads which is a boon for those who need to commute to different parts of the city for work or leisure. Additionally, families with school-going kids can also opt to enrol them in reputable schools near the community including the well-known GEMS Modern Academy in nearby Nad Al Sheba which offers the Indian CISCE curriculum.
Two payment schemes for buyers
Aside from a variety of impressive benefits, the project makes payments easier during property sales. It is currently offering two schemes for investors and home buyers interested:
- Six percent ROI for three years: This payment scheme basically spares buyers from paying service charges for three years with a guarantee of 6% in returns during this time period. The returns come immediately once a buyer receives the title deed for their chosen flat.
- Three-year rent-to-own scheme: Buyers who choose this scheme can make up the downpayment for an apartment by making rental payments which add up to the sales price. The best part is that an upfront deposit isn’t a requirement in this scheme. Apart from being affordable, the three-year payment plan may also prove to be beneficial for first-time buyers searching for properties that are offering convenient payment options.
The prices for the properties here vary based on the type and size of the unit.
- Price of 1-BHK apartment: AED 515,000
- Price of 2-BHK apartment: AED 680,000
