View Assessment
Bayline is a low-rise building: ground plus podium plus 8 residential floors. Middle floor means approximately the 3rd to 5th residential floor. The park and pool view refers to podium-level landscaping, pocket parks and the central swimming pool within the Bayline and Avonlea development. Mina Rashid also includes a 500-metre canal pool and community green spaces. This is podium garden views, not a view of a large public park. Given the low height, views will be intimate rather than panoramic.
Handover Discrepancy
The agent states Q1 2027. Every source (Property Finder, Bayut, Metropolitan) lists Q4 2027, with Bayut specifying November 2027. The discrepancy is approximately 2 quarters. Use Q4 2027 as the expected handover and verify construction progress with Emaar.
