As with many replies to a post you allways get half truths, conspiracy theories or simply mis-informed opinions, I take exception to carol2008's response. Perhaps she could provide some facts to support her response.
Obviously I have an interest in the Pearl (check my profile) and I spend everyday working towards increasing the level of safety for our workers and the quality of finish for our purchasers. It is easy for people to make sweeping statements based on heresay or minimal information, but I can assure you carol2008 that my ex pat team put in over 65 hours each to make it work. We have 17 towers so I cannot speak for other companies but I see everyday the Pearl blossoming into a world class development.

As for investing or purchasing that is up to the individual or company. I really cannot comment on that simply because how someone wants to spend their money is their affair. If they are to make a decision based on responses from a website well they need a reality check.

The intersting thing is that those who work or have purchased at the Pearl are very positive, those who sit on the sideline or have not got the cash tend to put the Pearl down

And carol2008 maybe you could be proved wrong and your sweeping generalisations may be, in time, proved to be false
