MANAMA, 18 January 2008 — Bahrain-based Tashyeed Properties announced that apartment sales in its freehold luxury residential property of BD52 million Sukoon Tower, Juffair, have been progressing well with more than seven-tenths of phase one already sold out. “The sales team has had a great deal of interest in the project, and we already have potential investors looking at apartments available in the second phase,” said Redha Rajab, Tashyeed managing director and chief executive officer.

“We believe the strong sales in Sukoon Tower have come from the attention to detail that has been put into the project. From the outset, Tashyeed has worked with internationally renowned architects and interior designers to ensure the apartments and facilities at Sukoon have been designed with the resident’s comfort in mind.” No space has been wasted in the design and layout of the apartments.

Top-of-the-range fixtures and fittings have been chosen including Western-style kitchens and bathrooms. Another feature of Sukoon is choice. There are 592 apartments with 758 car-parking spaces.

Investors in the project can choose an open or closed kitchen and what size apartment would fit their lifestyle. Tashyeed offers a unique option for investors in Sukoon. Using the apartment-combination service, potential buyers can combine apartments, whether two or more, side by side or above each other to create a duplex.

“Buying a property is one of the largest purchases most people make. We wanted to make the decision-making process easier for potential investors by providing comprehensive information so people can picture the size and feel of the apartments,” said Rajab. “We have partnered with Asteco, the region’s most experienced property-sales agent who has a well-trained team able to answer questions about Sukoon Tower as well as provide detailed brochures and floor plans.

“A website is also available for potential investors who are overseas or who want to go through the information at work or home. Sukoon, which means “inner peace and calm as well as tranquility,” was the name chosen for the tower as it reflects the lifestyle residents will enjoy. With the tower’s position on the water’s edge in Juffair and the feeling of space with the large lobby, landscaped gardens and well-designed water features, it certainly lives up to its name. Facilities within the building are extensive with an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, a kids’ pool, outdoor and indoor café, a multipurpose hall as well as a health club for men and women which includes a large gym, a lap pool, steam, sauna and Jacuzzi,” he added.
