Solidere Saifi Village ll, Beirut, Lebanon

Lebanon has potential, even with all its problems. Many of the great Gulf Mega Developers including Emaar, DAMAC, Kingdom Holding and Deyaar are developing Mega Projects in Lebanon. Providing Lebanon can avoid any further wars and remain stable, this Middle East country has great potential for success! Two great Mega Developers - Solidere of Lebanon and Deyaar of Dubai - have come together to create Saifi Village ll. Located in Beirut City Center, Saifi Village ll is a magnificent residential Mega Project close to both the beautiful Mediterranean Sea and the Mountains of Lebanon-- all while being right in the cultural, social and financial center of Lebanon!

Saifi Village ll is made up of 16 completely new low rise buildings grouped into 4 different clusters and another 16 buildings which have been flawlessly restored to reflect their original glory. This development perfectly reflects what Lebanon is trying to do: restore and rebuild / as well as develop completely new projects. Solidere has been put in charge of the reconstruction and development of the entire Beirut Central District.

According to Deyaar, Saifi Village ll will be a center for lavish living and include:

- Four blocks of ultra-chic 2-BR, 3-BR, 4-BR, duplex and triplex apartments that share landscaped areas, gardens, and 5 floors of underground parking,

- The apartments are energy efficient, well balanced, well-lit and have balconies that take advantage of the excellent Mediterranean climate,

- The top two floors of each block boast penthouse apartments designed like independent villas with breathtaking views of the sea and mountains,

- Every apartment and penthouse enjoys storage facilities that are located at the basement level,

- To help create a quiet and peaceful ambience each apartment is equipped with thermal and sound insulation to ensure minimum noise levels,

- The interiors use the finest quality marble, granite and wood while bathrooms are fitted with the leading international brands,

- 24 hour security, CCTV and videophone in every apartment to help liaise with the main gate, the management office and drivers’ lounge.

....and according to Solidere:

'The residential ambience is enhanced by a quiet environment and a carefully designed and landscaped public realm. Brick paving and fountains, seasonal shrubs and flowers, wooden benches and children's playgrounds provide the tree-lined narrow streets, public squares and gardens with an appealing and communal character. The highly positive response to Saifi Village ll has given Solidere the impetus to create further residential clusters, both expanding the Village and applying the same principles in other neighborhoods.'

This is all great for Lebanon! The more spectacular residential and commercial Mega Developments being built the better! Hard as it will be, what Lebanon needs is to change its overall perception by the world from that of a war torn country to that of a beautiful country with limitless potential and growth. This is what will attract the investors. This is what will attract the tourists. This is what will make Lebanon great once again!
