Danube launches 'Buildmart Boutique' in Dubai and Abu Dhabi collectively worth Dhs11m

This follows the success of the first two 'Buildmart' complexes, which was first launched in Ras Al Khaimah, and subsequently, in Bahrain. Similar to their predecessors, the new, conveniently located showrooms are designed to cater to interior designers, consultants and homeowners across the Emirates.

The showrooms, which span 7,500 sq. ft. each, offer more than 15,000 different products ranging from chandeliers, light fittings, wallpapers, venetian blinds, luxury bathroom fittings, shower rooms, massage bathtubs, parquet flooring, ceramic/Gres porcelain wall and flooring tiles, and architectural hardware. Both incorporate a 'Design Centre' where design professionals give out expert advice to customers on the best products, design materials and other design-related inquiries.

Furthermore, the facilities are set to benefit all contractors, joineries and architects by offering a complete selection of home interiors and building materials under one roof and design options that cater to varying budgets.

"As a follow through to the success of our pioneering initiative that gave birth to our retail complexes in Ras Al Khaimah and Bahrain, the inauguration of these new retail showrooms stands as a testament to our aims to address the needs of customers from all sectors of the construction industry,"

said Rizwan Sajan, Chairman, Danube.

"We are very optimistic that these new facilities will be attractive to all market players, and we are looking forward to launching more showrooms in new different locations in the coming months."

The property sector is passing through a correction period as triggered by the global crisis, and is thereby witnessing decline in property prices, according to recent reports.

This has been viewed as extremely encouraging to all the individual homeowners and real estate investors, who are always looking for partners to provide them with top-quality materials and professional advice. As a market leader in the UAE, Danube plans to take on a major role in helping customers build their ideal homes through its new showrooms in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

"We have high expectations for the success of our 'Buildmart Boutique' facilities, especially given the strong indications of recovery being observed in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. While a significant percentage of our efforts and resources are being poured into these two emirates, we are also currently exploring Saudi Arabia and other strategic locations across the region as a hub for our new facilities. We are also constantly looking for new ways to further enhance our product range and services," concluded Sajan.
