Development works on Awali City on schedule

Mr. Mohammed Hussein Al Nemer, Chief Marketing Officer at Awali Real Estate Investments, said, "The current slowdown of various markets worldwide does not mean that we should go back on our commitment to our clients, especially given that we at Awali depend more on self-financing, rather than bank loans, for example."

"We are moving forward with Awali City, a project which extends over an area of 33 million square feet and has a cost value of Dhs20bn. The city is now ready for construction work, and Awali Company will develop 30% of the project, while the remaining 70% will be developed by other developers who have already bought the plots needed for the development process," added Al Nemer.
