2 bedrooms Apartment in Dubai Marina, UAE No. 82854

Not surprisingly, the project was hit by delays, and although completed in 2005, the apartments were not handed over to residents until February 2006.

According to the Khaleej Times, Damac’s marketing tactics were probably the most aggressive in the business.

However, the newspaper added: “It is not known how successful these promotions are.”
