1 A Quarterly Publication by Creek Marina Pvt Ltd THE LINK MICA (P) 198/04/2006 Issue 01/07 January - March 2007 Issue Highlights Brand New Look for a Brand New Year A life of luxury awaits all proud owners of Creek Marina residences Main Building Construction Underway Rezani Ramli Editor When we first started publishing Creek Marina Newsletter a year ago, our objective was to keep you updated on the project s progress. Over time, we feel that we should add more value to the newsletter. Rather than just feeding you with technical news, we want to make this a fresh and dynamic newsletter that you will enjoy and always look forward to reading. Hence, I am pleased to unveil a holistic new look and feel for Creek Marina Newsletter now known as The Link. The name was chosen as we feel it to be most appropriate since this publication will always provides a link between you and Creek Marina and vice versa. We are now making a concerted effort to publish permanent columns - News, At the Site, Style Conscious, Interior Design, Meinhardt s Project Showcase, City Update and Green Living. City Update, for example will feature city or infrastructure news about Karachi and / or Creek City and how these will benefit Creek Marina residences in the future. We strongly believe this section will be helpful especially for those who are currently not living in Karachi. By including Meinhardt s Project Showcase, we hope to be able to keep you informed on the amazing projects done by Meinhardt Singapore - the Project Managers and Designers of the Creek Marina project. I hope you will find this new concept of the newsletter useful and informative. If you have any feedback, please drop me a line it is your newsletter after all. Getting slim isn t just for humans News Overseas Pakistanis Investment Conference at Islamabad By Anila Shahbaz Creek Marina General Manager (Sales), Mr Khalid Mahmood Bhatti briefing Chief Minister Sindh, Dr. Arbab Ghulam Rahim, on Creek Marina project during the Overseas Pakistanis Investment Conference in Islamabad early this year. Creek Marina Pvt. Ltd. Beach Street No. 28, Phase VIII, DHA, Karachi, Pakistan.

2 At the Site Main Building Construction Underway By S. Anwar Ali Shah Pile foundations including all required tests of all blocks, swimming pool and clubhouse have been completed. The process of trimming all the pile heads to the base level of pile caps has also been completed. The project has been handed to the Main Building Contractor, Guangdong Overseas Construction Group (GOCG), who will take over all the forward contract works. Prior to the handover, a joint survey of the piles was conducted by GOCG and IVCC to re-ascertain the accuracy of the physical positions of the piles and that they are within the tolerances specified in the technical specifications and relevant drawings. Since the last publication, the contractor has embarked on mobilisation of their skilled workers, materials, equipments and machineries. We are pleased to report that the skilled workers and substantial part of the equipment has arrived in Pakistan. To date, about 75% of mobilisation has been completed. Construction of Engineer s Field Office on the west side of the Creek Marina s Sales and Site Office, is in the final stages. The Basement excavation in progress office is currently being prepared by leveling and back filling. In order to evaluate the appropriate types of pumping motors and number of wells for dewatering, pumping tests are being conducted. Dewatering is done to lower the underground water level below the excavation level of pile caps, tie beams and elevator pits. This will be done prior to commencement of excavation and subsequent concrete activities. The process of dewatering will continue during the excavation and until the completion of concreting of the basement.

3 Style Conscious Toast to Fine Life By Faryal Siddiqui Creek Marina is not just another sea-front development. Creek Marina is a lifestyle. It is an address with an identity. Not only do residents own the 6-star luxury residences, they also have access to the kind of services others have only dreamt of. For the first time in Pakistan, Creek Marina will provide 24-hours a day, 7-days a week, Concierge Service. Creek Marina s intention of providing a Concierge Service is to help busy people get a better balance between the things they need to get done, and the things they would rather be doing instead. We just want to make life as easy and headachefree as possible. Once our residents get used to the fact that they have someone they can trust to help them, they will wonder how they ever managed without our concierge service. no littering in common areas and other sensible practical principles that enhance the value of the residence. Creek Marina believes in cultivating civic sense in its residents so that everyone can enjoy exclusive community living. By engaging a maintenance company, our residents will have access to qualified plumbers and electricians. In addition, there will also be a nursery facility located at Creek Marina s clubhouse. These are only a few of the many value-added services Creek Marina will provide to its residents. At Creek Marina, you are guaranteed to be pampered with a life of luxury. Do check out more details of our facilities at Creek Marina will also form an Operation and Maintenance company to provide all levels of maintenance services. Residents will not have to worry about the upkeep of the building exterior, landscaping of the palm gardens and other green areas within the project, swimming pools, tennis courts, clubhouse, private elevators, tower lobbies and standby generators. As part of the exclusive Creek Marina community, residents will be expected to adhere to certain common decency rules and regulations such as no untoward hanging of laundry, Issue 01/07
4 City Update 24km Long Elevated Signal-Free Expressway - From Jinnah Bridge - Native Jetty to Quaidabad By M. Saud Mirza A signing ceremony was held in Karachi recently for the construction of a 24-kilometre long elevated signalfree expressway from Jinnah Bridge- Native Jetty to Quaidabad - between the Karachi City Government and a Malaysian firm, IJM Corporation Berhad. The agreement was signed by the City Nazim, Mr Syed Mustafa Kamal and Dato Jr Goh Chye, the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of IJM Corporation Berhad. The ceremony was witnessed by The Governor, Dr Ishrat ul Ibad, Naib Nazim, Ms. Nasreen Jalil, Town nazims and senior city government officials. The construction of the project - known as the Signal Free Corridor - is estimated to be completed in three years at an Water Wise By Faryal Siddiqui Green Living estimated cost of US$225 million. It comprises a 24-km long and 25-metre wide expressway having three lanes on either side with six interchanges to be provided at the Quaidabad, Star Gate, Shahrah-i-Quaideen, Hotel Metropole, Karsaz and Jinnah Bridge. The project will be implemented in two phases. Once completed, the expressway is expected to reduce commuting time from end to end by 40 per cent. This project will also benefit Creek Marina residents by reducing traveling time and distance to airport, city center and financial centers substantially. In his speech, the Nazim said that the expressway will help boost the City s and in turn the country s economy, besides giving relief to motorists from traffic jams, which often occur at Shahrah e Faisal. Exclusively Haute Monde By Rezani Ramli Water is a scarce and precious resource and no one knows this better than us, Karachiites. We have very little rainfall and much of sunshine water evaporates quickly. Hence the reason why we face severe water shortages all year round. So let s become water wise and follow some simple everyday tips that will help conserve water. - Ensure taps are turned off properly so they do not drip. A dripping tap can waste litres and litres of water. - Turn off the tap until you are ready to rinse when you brush your teeth. - A short shower uses fewer litres of water than a bath. - Thaw frozen foods before you need them or use the microwave instead of placing them under running water. Always remember that every little bit helps! A 5-acre world class town club that will provide 6- star facilities to its members is on its way to Karachi. Located next to Creek Marina, this exclusive club will offer unobstructed and stunning views of the Arabian Sea and will have full facilities and reciprocal rights to other clubs internationally. The club will provide amenities such as guest rooms, restaurants, spa/jacuzzi, gymnasium, ballrooms and meeting rooms. More information about this club and its facilities will be unveiled soon. Once membership is launched, buyers of Creek Marina condominium will be given preference to buy membership in this club. Meinhardt Singapore will be responsible for Masterplanning, Infrastructure, Architecture, Engineering Design (Civil, Structural, Mechanical, & Electrical), Landscaping and Detailed Supervision of this project. Issue 01/07 January - March 2007
5 Interior Design Contemporary VS Formal By Faryal Siddiqui The construction works at Creek Marina have been on scheduled and we are confident that the project will be completed in With its interiors designed by the world renowned Hirsch Bedner and Associates, you can be sure that all materials, fixtures and finishes are guaranteed to be of a superior quality. Prior to the project being completed, I am sure you must be having some thoughts about how to decorate your new home at Creek Marina. Here are some tips to get you started. The first step to interior décor is to determine the color schemes, types of furniture and overall look you prefer. Although there are many styles of décor, the two main styles are Contemporary and Formal. Contemporary Style Contemporary interiors use straight lines, sculptural elements, art and bold color. Simplicity, subtle sophistication, texture and clean lines help to define contemporary decorating. Characteristics and elements of a contemporary style are listed below. Floors should be bare and smooth in wood, tile, or marble. Color and texture can be added with plain or geometric-patterned area rugs. Art pieces such as painting and sculptures play a vital role and lighting fixtures should be selected to focus on these pieces. Don t clutter the room with collections or too many pieces. Neutrals, black, and white are the main colors in contemporary interiors. The palette is often accented with the help of accessories in bright and bold colors. If a wall is painted with a bright and bold color, then neutral colors should be used everywhere else. Formal style An example of a formal deco (Photo: Courtesy of Talent and Taste) If you love the look of elegant Ritz-Carlton hotel or Selfridges in London, you will most probably be attracted to the formal style of décor. Here are some characteristics of decorating the formal way. Pairs of furniture and accessories Shiny wood, fabric, and metals Tall windows with elaborate coverings Antique furniture and accessories (or fine reproductions) Original oil paintings Persian carpets and Oriental rugs Chandeliers and light fixtures of crystal or brass Decorative trims of tassels and fringe Carved details on wood furniture The key elements of formal style décor are accessories and special touches. Many formal interiors have carved mirrors hanging in matched pairs. They help to define a space and enlarge the visual feeling of the space. Soft goods such as upholstery, pillows, and window treatments can be adorned with trims. Tassels accent pillow corners and fringe is often used on the bottoms of upholstered pieces, and many patterned fabrics of different textures and weaves are used together. By simply adding a row of 6 fringe to the bottom of a plain colored sofa, you ll have a more formal look. Formally dressed windows usually have draperies to the floor with contrasting trim. Lighting fixtures of crystal or brass with delicate silk shades create a formal look. Chandeliers look elegant and formal in a large living room, formal dining room, bedroom or small powder room. Real or artificial plants and flowers placed in interesting and elegant containers do add texture and color to a formal interior. I hope these tips will be useful for you to determine the concept you prefer. Have fun planning for the deco of you new home! January - March 2007
6 Meinhardt s Project Showcase Newton.GEMS: A Slender Box With a Series of Wall Planes By Yenti Suherman It has always been the trend for supermodels to sport extremely slim and tall features. The trend seems to have hit buildings too, looking at current and new developments around the world. The whole concept of going slender and high probably came about in Singapore due to land constraints but somehow this concept has developed into a bohemian look for the new developments. A good example is Newton.GEMS, Singapore - a two identical 30-storey residential towers with a total of 190 units plus service core for all units. Just like supermodels, these buildings please the eyes to a great degree. Meinhardt Singapore was the Civil and Structural Consultant for this project which was completed in year The Newton.GEMS project was conceptualised as a slender box with a series of wall planes during the design process. The slenderness of the structure has been instrumental in getting over site constraints in the relatively populous district coupled with a hotel next door. The prefab construction has come to its aid to do wonders to smoothen the operation. Prefabricated construction goes extremely well with the tall and slim concept of the condominium, and does not in any way restrict the appendages that seem to sprout from these buildings. Sun shading devices, bay windows, ledges, fins and steel staircases are some details that were not just easily tackled with prefab construction, but enhanced to precision by it. Winner of BCA Best Buildable Design Award 2004 and BCA Construction Excellence Award 2005 At the first storey, the towers are surrounded by an environmental deck that boasts a lush and green landscape with an intersecting water feature. All traffic activities including vehicle drop-off point, main carpark area and Mechanical and Electrical rooms, are located below ground level to restrict noise levels and traffic to that level. The residential towers have an unusually high slender ratio of 8.15 which is higher than many of the skyscrapers in the South-East Asia region. This aspect ratio has not only helped in materialising the slenderness of the two towers, it has also made the development, one of the most challenging projects in terms of building stiffness.
