Pretty soon, Dubai might be called as the City of Floating Homes. Yes the Floating Homes are ready to showcase the engineering of Dubai in next few years. It has now been unveiled the International Boat Show.
The floating home, described as “the first of its kind in the world”, was officially launched by developer The Kleindienst Group at The Dubai International Boat Show in March.
Each villa, designed and manufactured in Dubai, will have three levels — one underwater, one at sea level, and an upper deck — with a completely submerged master bedroom and bathroom, said the developer.
They will also be equipped with a kitchen, dining area, and a glass-bottomed jacuzzi.
In picking the name for the project, chief executive Josef Kleindienst said: “The seahorse is an endangered species and we will create an artificial coral reef beneath the luxury retreats which will be a protected area in which seahorses can safely live and breed.”
As part of the developer’s plans, 42 of the unique villas will each have their own plot in the Arabian Gulf, included as part of its stake in The World islands project, located 4km from the coast of Dubai.
A launch date has been set for the end of 2016.
Plans are in place to also make the concept available for sale to interested parties around the world, said the developer, adding they have already received interest from investors in Saudi Arabia, Maldives, Seychelles, the Caribbean, and Norway.
It is expected that the new Floating Homes will be a benchmark for the others and will soon be available at the other parts of the world. The newly made Floating homes will be available for public in few more days.
