Seattle condo Offers Sales Guarantee



The declining real estate market in the U.S has been particularly tough on the condo market with many people afraid to buy a condo for fear that six months or a year later someone else will buy the same size condo in their building for a lot less money.

At the Olive 8 hotel condo/hotel project in Seattle, the developer is offering prospective buyers the type of guarantee that we usually see department stores offer.
The developer announced that If someone buys an Olive 8 condo now and later someone else buys a unit in the building with the same floor plan for less, the developer will reduce the first buyer's price down to the lower amount at closing.

Olive 8 under construction at Eighth Avenue and Olive Way will feature 230 luxury condos on 22 floors above a 17-story Hyatt hotel.
The hotel is to open December 2008 .
Condos start at $750,000.

Stop dreaming and start buying!




Thirty years ago, an African safari would have been considered a rare getaway.
These days, travels to remote islands such as Tahiti or the Seychelles are equally common with luxury resorts.
Spending your winter in Florida under the Palm Trees is synonymous of sanity, luxury and possibility!

Largest handmade Carpet...


By any measure, it's a marvel...

At 60,546 sq ft this carpet is larger than a soccer field and took 18 months and 1,200 weavers to make. Red and green in color, it has over 2.2 billion knots and was assembled in 9 pieces. It took 38 tons of wool and cotton to complete the task.
Woven in Iran’s north-eastern province of Khorasan, the colossal carpet is destined for a mosque in the United Arab Emirates.
It is worth an estimated $5.8 million.

MoodSpace by Interactive Art


How about designing your own moods? The MoodSpace by Interactive Art has LED lighting and other elements, each piece crafted by artist Arjuna Noor

“Arjuna’s art combines digital painting and photography with LED lighting to make the images shift and change" JustLuxe explained.
“The art is about the physical and elemental power of light and the ability to transform environments. Extreme ‘green’ LED lighting is used, which uses a fraction of electricity and can run continuously for 100,000 hours.”

The ambience is transformed with a whole wall of shimmering lights synchronized with music called ‘Ambient Jazz’ that evokes powerful emotions with vibrant and romantic themes such as Molten Love and Venice lights

Ongoing projects include the lobby of the new Dubai City Marriott, the suites of a Ritz Carlton hotel and a lobby of the Hilton in Times Square.
For only $25,000 you can add an entire wall that shimmers and glows to your living room decor.
