Vue De Lac (French for "View of Lake") is a complex of three towers in Jumeirah Lake Towers in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Two of the towers, Vue De Lac 1 and Vista Del Lago, have 40 floors. Vue De Lac 2 has 45 floors. Completion of the complex was initially promised for September 2007.[1] In 2009 a group of 30 investors filed a case with RERA against delays in construction and changes to design plans.[1] An official from Al Attar Properties responded that the changes were due to regulation changes and that refunds would not be considered.[2] In early 2010 Al Attar Properties started chasing investors for $18.5 million, despite the development still not being completed.
