Construction work is now over 27% complete and scheduled for handover during Q4 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The remaining 50% balance, which is payable in instalments within 12 months after handover, provides investors with the opportunity to offset a part of the purchase price during the first year of occupancy through a guaranteed return or rental income.<\/p>\n<p>Image renderings, virtual walk-throughs of the <a href=\"https:\/\/my.matterport.com\/show\/?m=wgi3iXbm3YL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">studio<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/my.matterport.com\/show\/?m=EoXGhe66etC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one-bedroom<\/a> apartments as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seventides.com\/sevenpalm\/#videos\">videos<\/a> of the Seven Palm project are available and can be viewed here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seventides.com\/projects\/sevenpalm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.seventides.com\/sevenpalm<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The property also features a state-of-the-art <a href=\"http:\/\/app.viznavigator.com\/view\/CF14DE45\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">visual navigator<\/a> tool <em>allowing prospective buyers, residents and investors to view 2D and 3D floor plans, take specialised 3D tours and view relevant images, videos and diagrams.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-20656\" src=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/seven-palm-development-exterior-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/seven-palm-development-exterior-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/seven-palm-development-exterior-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/seven-palm-development-exterior.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-20657\" src=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/seven-palm-studio-360-view-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/seven-palm-studio-360-view-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/seven-palm-studio-360-view-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/seven-palm-studio-360-view.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-20658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/seven-palm-view-from-rooftop-infinity-pool-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/seven-palm-view-from-rooftop-infinity-pool-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/seven-palm-view-from-rooftop-infinity-pool-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/seven-palm-view-from-rooftop-infinity-pool-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/seven-palm-view-from-rooftop-infinity-pool.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UAE-headquartered upscale residential, hospitality and commercial property developer Seven Tides is still receiving frequent sales enquiries, particularly for its Seven Palm development on Palm Jumeirah, despite the economic fallout and social restrictions due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
