Sports City Sales Office now open and Taking Orders!

07/23/2009 - 14:39 / Posted by admin

From July the 10th you can now place an order for your house or apartment in the now open Tunis Sports City sales office near the Kram exhibition hall in Tunis.

Apologies for the delay as we did not get invited to the press conference nor did the marketing team reply to us when we asked for information (must have sold everything already). Thankfully since almost every Tunisian marketing director knows nobody ever looks on websites especially people from other countries they prefer local papers and posters on the back of buses ;-)

So with this in mind and after a few calls where left unreturned, we decided to go and have a look ourselves in the new sales office which is lovely and to be fair conveys the image that you would expect of such a development.

During the sales presentation we where told that the elements at the back of sports city are do be commenced first with the golf course, villas and surrounding apartments to be started and apparently completed within 13 months which is very good going if you ask me and bordering on the optimistic given the scale of the project.

To be fair the development does look lovely with a lot of green space which is definitely needed to combat the grey spread of new developments in Tunis which leaves places like Nasr looking like a treeless scene from blade-runner.

Walking around the models I began to feel that annoying pang of desire (thank god my wife was not with me!) I found myself ready to actually consider placing a deposit.......however thankfully I was saved by the pricing which meant that even if I wanted the prices are out of my reach and more expensive than my home city in the UK! I am simply too poor even though I am on over the UK average wage working in Tunisia damn those kids of mine which mean I need space!

Just too poor

For those winners who can the prices are as follows

Cedar Villas            3,500 dinars a m2 (£1,600 m2)

e.g. 200m2 house = 700,000 dinars/ £320,000

Chickly Apartments        2,800 dinars a m2 (£1,300 m2)

e.g 100m2 apartment = 280,000 dinars/£130,000

Burj Almasa Apartments    2,350 dinars a m2 (£,1068 m2)

e.g 100m2 Apartment = 235,000 dinars/£108,0000

Additionally I was told that all of the villas had multiple reservations on them already and that there are loads of rich Tunisian and Algerian buyers who are the majority.

So those of you who can feel free to go and grab yourself a lovely house, me I am looking for a old Algerian lady so she can take me back and show me the Algiers money tree.
