00:00Actually, I think there was nothing here. It was probably like the camel race over here.
00:05And then there was only that Medan race course which they had built.
00:09So when you go there, it was absolutely nothing over here.
00:30Well, it's one of the closest developments that you have within the heart of the city.
00:35And of course, this is the only development where you've got the crystal lagoons.
00:38It's the first time in the Middle East that they've used the crystal lagoons.
00:41You've got three distinct lifestyles.
00:44You've got apartments, you've got villas and you've got mansions.
00:48Yeah, Mohammedun Rajshah City, District 1.
00:51Mohammedun Rajshah City is a very vast project.
00:53Dubai Hills is also covered under Mohammedun Rajshah City.
00:56So District 1 being the district, I mean the development starts from here and then moves forward.
01:06Okay, we were living before in Meadows 9.
01:09We moved in here sometime in last year, in August 2017.
01:20We moved in one month ago and we're moving the villa around three weeks ago now.
01:26We came from Paris.
01:28We are art dealers, art advisors.
01:32And we need to replace some exclusives for our clients and to exhibit also privately our artworks.
01:47What I really like about this place is that it does not bore us.
01:50You know, like in the sense we've seen it from the baby.
01:53We've seen this as battle land and we've had a big villa earlier as well.
01:57It was a Mediterranean kind of Meadows villa.
02:00Very nice, we loved it.
02:02But this is completely different.
02:04What I like is the light.
02:06You know, it's glass all over and the view is just unstoppable for everyone.
02:12You know, you've got the birch in front of you.
02:14District One meets everything for me and all our work here wants also.
02:26Because we need first exclusive place and secure place.
02:30And also there is a lot of green space and this is valuable.
02:38What I like about this community is there's a lot of people so I have a lot of friends.
02:43It's really safe.
02:44Like there are many places to walk.
02:46You can walk in the front, even at the back.
02:48Everything is secure.
02:49Teeth everywhere.
02:52Yeah, it's just very homey.
02:55I mean, you know, after seeing so many developments, you know, over so many years in Dubai.
02:59I can easily say that this is probably one of the best build qualities that I have seen in a very, very long time.
03:06I mean, you know, if a person had to do a custom villa and spend X amount of money.
03:11Then this is the kind of quality that you'd probably expect.
03:21We're a little disappointed now because we are the first ones to get a handover.
03:25And it's been a year.
03:27And of course, you know, the expense over here, the maintenance is quite high according to the luxuries that they've given.
03:34So we don't have a supermarket yet.
03:36We don't have a mosque yet.
03:39It's under development, so it's a little bit late.
03:49Well, see, I mean, you know, I mean, even though you're living in District 1, you're still within the heart of the community.
03:54You're still within the heart of Dubai.
03:56So the point is you're one or two kilometers, you know, away from any grocery close by.
04:00But there's one expected to open the next couple of months within the community.
04:04These rates were at least about 20% higher than what they are currently, you know, being offered at today.
04:09So this is an ideal opportunity to come in and fill these spaces.
04:12Because I can tell you one thing, for the prices, this is great value for money.
04:17It's difficult to, you know, convey this in words.
04:20But if you just, you know, if you actually come and start living here, you realize how beautiful this community is.
04:25And, you know, how it appeals to everyone.
