Mirdif Project on Hold



If I am not mistaken this is the same project that was being sold as Midas Mirdif Hills by M Holding.

The report does not give any information on M Holding and its role in this development (non-development as it now turns out to be). Is something amiss here?

Good Move, But Not everyone can do the same



Yea Etisalgood, its a good move but not all developpers can afford to do the same, a construction project is like a train once it start to move there is no way u can stop it, developpers pay for contractors advance payments and get into contract agreements with them, if the developer decide to cancel the project while construction is ongoing, the consequences will be hard to handle, so most of the projects on the design / tender stage (off plan sold) have been cancelled and the investors were re-funded but for the ongoing construction projects that will be IMPOSSIBLE

Good move by DIRC



Full marks to DIRC for being honest and for intending to give investors a 100 percent refund. Now, if only other developers can follow suit, Dubai could well be on its way to recovery. I believe the key factor holding back the real estate sector is a lack of confidence amongst buyers, rather than oversupply. Many feel that they've been taken for a ride and their hard earned dirhams have brought nothing but colorful hoardings and huge holes in the ground.

on hold?



On hold? And they are paying back deposits?

Surely they mean 'cancelled'?

Of course if you talk about cancellations it would be an admission that there is no realistic prospect of a return to rampant boom for the foreseeable future. They would like to pretend that the massive crash of the past year is just a little turbulence on Dubai's inevitable climb to world domination, whereas the truth is that the game is up and they won't be able to rely on flogging worthless desert to gullible fools as the primary industry for at least a generation. And what else is there? Wild wadi?

This 'on hold' won't ever resume, we all know that. Why not come out with a bit of honesty and say it is cancelled?

Dubai is sadly still in denial, its primary industry is gone, discredited, and the disasters that followed with collapsing projects and legal disputes will poison the prospects of a revival for decades. Dubai desperately needs a plan 'B', it has a lot going for it if it is prepared to work a little harder and accept a little less money. But it seems Dubai is just not willing to face facts yet and have more modest aspirations. CPR on plan 'A' seems the only plan 'B' they have.

Dubai needs to move on and come up with a new plan.
