| Project | Overall | Structure & systems | Management & living |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gardenia LivingsArjan, Dubai156 units | 6.2/ 10 | 5.0/ 10 | 6.2/ 10 |
Google’s building-specific 3.9/5 from 33 reviews sets the level, converting to 6.7/10 under the requested curve. The score moves downward because the written evidence includes serious water-ingress/finishing complaints and repeated operational problems, while positive maintenance and amenity feedback limits the reduction. | |||
Structural and systems feedback is mixed but includes serious reported failures. One reviewer described “toilet pipes leakage,” “all the walls are leaking and mouldy,” and a neighbour’s ceiling water leaks; another reported cracking, poorly sealed windows and orange tap water. A separate review says the whole building’s AC can fail every one to two months and that fire alarms trigger at least weekly. | Day-to-day feedback includes praise that the building is “very clean and well maintained,” with regularly serviced facilities, a welcoming reception and a clean, well-equipped gym. Negative reports say security took “2 days to get back” and was rude, while other residents cited a three-month pool closure, parking problems and late-night honking. | ||
| Aark ResidencesWadi Al Safa 5, Dubai100 units | 5.9/ 10 | —/ 10 | 5.7/ 10 |
Google Reviews/Maps provides the only building-specific published aggregate located: 3.7/5 from 22 reviews, which sets a 6.1/10 converted anchor. Five visible one-star reviews repeatedly report delayed completion and weak communication, moving the resident-experience result down to 5.7; the available structural praise is not sufficient to create a separate systems score. | |||
One five-star reviewer said, “The construction quality is outstanding they've spared no effort in creating homes that feel solid and luxurious,” while another called the designs and layouts “really good” and “very spacious n modern.” No reviewed source supplied a recurring defect report about plumbing, HVAC, electrical systems, leaks or waterproofing, so no structural negative is recorded. | The dominant operational feedback was negative: reviewers described apartments as still unfinished after promised dates, including “More than one year delay!!!” and “no one is telling how long more to wait.” A separate review said the project was “nowhere near completion” and accused the developer of giving misleading explanations about the BCC; the positive comments mainly praised layout, construction and proximity rather than day-to-day management. |
