Emaar strengthens UK presence through participation in Arabian Horses Race Day

This is Emaar's second participation at the prestigious event.

The company will sponsor the Zabeel International Stakes race on the concluding day, sponsored by H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai and UAE Minister of Finance and Industry.

Following the company's exclusive alliance with UK's top property consultant Cluttons, Emaar's upscale developments have attracted mature, high net worth individuals from the UK whose top-end sporting pursuits include golf, equestrian and sailing.

Robert Booth, Executive Director, Emaar Properties said: "The United Kingdom continues to be our strong market because lifestyle communities such as ours never ceases to appeal to the British. Increasingly, starting a new life in Dubai in mid-life is something more people than ever are doing, with the result that a high percentage of our current homeowners and investors constitute those from the UK and Europe. The UAE's political and economic stability, combined with a tax-free environment and the high rate of return on investment has substantially aided the property market."

"Our presence at Newbury will further enhance the value of our brand and master-planned offerings which continue to attract a mature, high-net worth investor group. Also we are glad our strategic alliance with Cluttons has stimulated increased investor demand in our projects," Booth added.

Emaar has become synonymous with equine sport. Not only is the company an important sponsor of the Dubai World Cup, it also owns the desert delight called Arabian Ranches. This is a unique community designed as a horse lover's paradise replete with a world-class polo ground, a full-service equestrian centre, stabling facilities and the unique championship desert course. Arabian Ranches is part of the developments on view at the Emaar pavilion.

Also being introduced to the international community will be the company's Old Town development, a pedestrian's haven at the Burj Dubai District. The Old Town represents a fusion of the modern with the traditional. Burj Dubai Tower, The Dubai Mall, The Residences and other landmark features of the District will also be featured.

An added attraction for visitors to the Emaar pavilion will be the opportunity to win a new car. The lucky winner will be announced on the last day of the exhibition.
