Changing Investor needs ???
Posted by duckman at 12:15 UAE time
I wonder what Meraas is talking about. I am certain, there has never been investor demand for this development in the first place. Maybe by speculators/flippers but certainly not by long term investors. Just the same as the Palm JA/Deira or the Universe by Nakheel. Who needed these in the first place?? I am glad that the developers are finally getting back their sense for reality, even though this must be a painful experience for them.

Saving Satwa
Posted by Keefieboy at 20:01 UAE time
As someone who lived in Dubai for 13 years, I was appalled to learn of the plans to demolish Satwa. It is one of the vibrant hearts of Dubai (along with Karama and Bur Dubai). If the rulers of the Emirate have any sense (and that is clearly open to question), they would realise that these areas should be protected and enhanced, not demolished and re-developed.

This is a curse on those who want to bring down Satwa/Safa areas of Dubai. Keep off, you capitalists. Get a heart!

I agree

satwafan, you're right. Satwa has its share of Dubai's history, too. In this place dwelt the emirate's builders, who've invested part of their lives in making Dubai what it is today, who've sacrificed their family ties, only to know that what they will earn will only go back to landowners and landlords, reducing them to industrial serfs.
Dubai still has a lot of desert space to develop, where there is much less building expense (no structures to remove), and much less heartbreak and distress brought to people.
Long live Satwa!

SATWA

While poor labourers were being moved from their homes and pushed into oblivion, nobody thought that the world financial crisis will deal such a heavy blow to the underlying cause of the evictions.
it will be nice to retain some of the old Dubai; where people sweated, enjoyed and thrived....
