40 Floating Seahorse signature villas launched

dubai - They are now under production in the UAE and priced at Dh12 million each

Austrian real estate developer Kleindienst Group is gung-ho about sales of its Floating Seahorses, partially submerged villas situated 4km off the coast of Dubai in The World islands project. To capitalise on investor appetite, the developer recently launched 40 Signature Edition versions of these villas.

Inspired by Emirati culture and European designs, the Signature Edition of the Floating Seahorse has been developed for large families with children and those that host several guests.

Each Floating Seahorse unit is essentially a boat without propulsion. It offers luxurious marine-style living across three levels - one underwater, one at sea level and an upper deck.

The project is called Floating Seahorse because the residential units will have an artificial coral reef underneath that will serve as a breeding ground for seahorses.

Designed, engineered and built in the UAE, 40 Signature Edition Floating Seahorses are now under production and priced at Dh12 million. The estimated completion for the first phase is October 2016.

Offering four flexible living/sleeping areas, The Signature Edition accommodates up to eight adults and eight children. Each level can be adapted to suit individual needs when required. Each unit can be customised to ensure privacy by enclosing the outdoor areas on the sea level and upper level.
When not enclosed, these outdoor areas can be used for alfresco entertainment all-year-round.

Each Signature Edition Floating Seahorse spans 4,004 square feet across three levels and will be home to state-of-the-art technology and smart home automation.

The eight rooms include a sky majlis and sky bedroom on the upper level and a family room and bedroom on the sea level. The submerged level features a ladies room, master bedroom, an entertainment room and a guest bedroom.

The underwater en-suite bedrooms will offer views of the surrounding coral garden and marine life. The living areas in the underwater level will span 861 square feet and the coral garden will exceed 600 square feet.

Owners of Signature Edition villas can personalise their living space. Buyers can select from a variety of premium quality finishes, ranging from flooring and kitchens to bathrooms. Even the interior design and soft furnishings can be customised.
