Dubai-based luxury property developer and holding company, Seven Tides International, has unveiled a state-of-the-art Virtual Reality (VR) tool to showcase its exclusive luxury living development SE7EN Residences, located on Palm Jumeirah, Dubai UAE.

The Visual Navigator, is a web-based 3D platform for architecture and interiors, which utilises a dynamic, media-rich web interface to present an immersive Virtual 3D Walkthrough Tour of a chosen apartment.

The powerful visualisation tool allows prospective buyers, residents and investors to view 2D and 3D floor plans, take specialised 3D tours and view relevant images, videos and diagrams. Additionally, web-based 3D editor functionality allows buyers to experiment with interior styles and configurations to fully visualise their dream home, before committing to a purchase.

Accessible through the recently relaunched www.SevenTides.com, the Visual Navigator for the SE7EN Residences features 360-degree images, 360-degree apartment tours, 3D animation videos and Virtual Reality capabilities.

“Using the latest technology, Visual Navigator is a state-of-the-art tool revolutionising how buyers interact with real estate developers and agents. This marks a turning point in how Dubai’s real estate is showcased to prospective buyers and It’s an exciting development for both Seven Tides and Dubai’s wider real estate industry,” said Abdulla Bin Sulayem, CEO, Seven Tides International.

According to research, 90% of real estate buyers start their search online, placing significant focus on digital capabilities. However, Seven Tides is one of the first premium developers to react to the evolving demand.

Implementing the Visual Navigator supports innovation across the real estate sector as buyers increasingly turn to multi-media listings to help shortlist projects without a physical viewing.  Further, property listings enhanced with the Visual Navigator often achieve a higher sales price, with 83% of featured properties meeting or exceeding the listed price to date.

Compatible with any web-enabled device and requiring no additional software, the tours can be viewed from most VR headsets to accurately recreate the experience of walking through a space.

Helping to create an authentic “at home” feeling, Visual Navigator allows viewers to digitally view their luxury apartment for the ultimate in personalisation. With the ability to walk through the apartments, viewers can feel at home right away. Homes that are styled sell 75% faster than other units.

Sulayem added: “The tool’s integration into our sales process compliments our brand new online presence, which combines the latest technology, tools and software, for a seamless experience on desktop, tablet and mobile. The Visual Navigator is already popular with our clients and we expect this immersive and interactive experience to support strong sales across the SE7EN Residences portfolio, bringing our investors and residents one step closer to moving into their dream Dubai home.”

Located on the trunk of the prestigious Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, SE7EN Residences is a collection of beachfront properties and exclusive residential apartments.

Each of the 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom homes offers freehold ownership and 5-star luxury amenities with spectacular views. Residents can enjoy access to the rooftop infinity pool, a fully equipped gymnasium, F&B outlets, golden beaches and close proximity to Nakheel Mall.

Apartments are priced at AED 752,000 for studios, AED 1,03 mil for one- bedrooms, AED 1,99 mil for two-bedrooms and AED 3,55 mil for three-bedroom units. Construction started onsite, and completion set for December 2019.
