EMAAR to highlight real estate investment opportunities in UAE at international trade fair

The event is taking place at the Mumbai World Trade Centre from October 21 to 24, 2003.

The UAE Trade exhibition is a unique initiative by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI), the Public Corporation for Ports, Customs and Free Zones and the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM), and aims to strengthen trade between the two regional economic powers. India is ranked as one of the UAE's major trading partners, with bilateral trade in non-oil products having grown to more than US$3.5 billion a year.

Commenting on the company's involvement, Mansour Al Othaimin, Corporate Director, Sales and Marketing, EMAAR Properties, said: "As the premier property development company in the UAE, we greatly value the opportunity to take part in this historic exhibition. This event provides us with a platform to spur inward investment into the UAE.

"The large number of Indian companies and nationals in Dubai is proof of the growing synergies between the two countries and the immense potential for investment. The buoyant Indian market represents a key focus area for EMAAR Properties and we look forward to interacting with investors who are interested in setting up a base in Dubai or are looking at investing in a second or holiday home," Othaimin added.

EMAAR has ten major residential and commercial projects under development, each offering exclusive lifestyles and prices geared to cater to the demands of the diverse needs of Dubai's multi-ethnic community.

Showcased at the exhibition will be Dubai Marina, one of the world's largest waterfront developments, the Arabian Ranches desert resort with golf and equestrian themes and Burj Dubai which is set to be the tallest tower in the world and part of a massive new master-planned community that will become the focal point of Dubai's new growth corridor.

"EMAAR plays a pivotal role in the growth of the real estate sector and Dubai. By developing its projects and offering investment opportunities it has become a catalyst for further growth and prosperity in the UAE," Othaimin concluded.
