“AVOID AT ALL COSTS! In the interest of fairness, I’ll share the pros and cons.
The GOOD:
-the view
-the front desk security are super helpful and always very polite.
The BAD:
-the building isn’t ready to be inhabited.
- the swimming pool was unusable since I moved in over 6 months ago and is now being rebuilt (estimated timeline to completion 4 months)
- water is currently dripping through my bedroom ceiling due to the apartment above flooding
- all the walls have cracks in them
- the 1st floor parking lot floods when it rains
- the 4th floor parking lot is still a construction site
-daily fire alarms at random times despite the building being barely occupied
-twice I’ve been in the lift when the fire Alarm goes off and there lift stops working
- the extractor in the kitchen above the stove pulls the smoke from above the stove and puts it into the apartment. There is no ducting installed.
- the windows (which are supposed to be cleaned every 2 months) still have never been cleaned so I can’t fully enjoy the view I’m paying for
- there are cracks and poor finishing in the common areas
- I have never seen all the lifts working at the same time
- the visitor parking is still inaccessible
- the management company seems under qualified and not up to actually managing this building. All they ever give is ultimatums and send emails (that promise things that don’t happen) but never give solutions
- it is the first building complete in the area so if you move here you’ll live in a building site for the foreseeable future
- traffic is terrible getting in and out at rush hour times
- the access roads are all detours
- you have to pay a nonrefundable 1000 aed just to connect the AC
-phone coverage for Etisalat in the building is almost nonexistent
- out of the coverage area for deliveroo
I would keep on going, but basically don’t be fooled by the glossy brochures and fancy sounding building. There is a reason that most new buildings in Dubai sell out quickly and Anwa tower is still struggling despite heavy marketing.
It’s a big shame, because this has the potential to be a nice place with the port side walk and port views, but unfortunately 1 star is more than they deserve.
(As I was adding the photos, the fire alarm went off again)”
