Desired Features in the MAG 218

As construction commences on the MAG 218 tower, owners or prospective owners and residents may begin to consider in more detail what features, amenities or facilities they might like to have, in addition to those already specified by the developer. The poll below may serve to generate some ideas and discussion.

First, a look at what the developer has specified:

• recreational facilities: swimming pool, jacuzzi and fitness center
  
• communal facilities: community hall with pantry and TV lounge
  
• common areas: attractive lobby with reception/security desk, high-speed elevators, underground/podium parking and storage rooms
  
• apartment features (all units): fully equipped kitchens, en-suite bathrooms and guest lavatory, spacious living and bed rooms
  
• apartment features (some units): balconies, floor-to-ceiling windows

In addition to these, what other facilities, services or amenities would be desirable?

Owners, Prosepctive Owners/Residents Poll:

Select the features (as many as apply) you might like to see in the MAG 218--recognizing that some may mean higher purchase price or management fees.

 An advanced control system--for A/C, utilities, lighting, window shades, etc., like that planned for the MAG 214 tower in JLT.

 Advanced internet and communicaitons wiring--allowing for building-wide high-speed networking for internet, cable, intercom and other communications.

 A district based cooling system (for A/C)--as found in JLT and parts of DM--which connects to an exterior facility offering better economy.

 An on-premises cooling system, as currently planned, which may be less cost-efficient but allows for complete "in-house" management.

 Option for customization of interiors or retrofitting by the developer/consultant.

 Extensive use of video cameras (for security) in all common areas--parking, elevators, community rooms, pool deck, etc.

 A larger number of service/security staff--for communal & recreational facilities, lobby, etc., including housekeeping staff.

 A minimal use of service/security staff (to keep down management fees.)

 Free use for owners and/or residents of communal facilities including pool, gym, etc.

 Assistance from developer/consultant with funishings.

 A service for owners to assist in setting up and managing rental of units.
