Landmark Properties gears up to meet increased demand in 2006

Estimates put the increase in real estate investment in the range of more than 10% over the previous year.

"This year will be a challenging one in terms of increased investor interest, coming on the heels of the significant rise in the UAE's GDP and the range of new projects on offer in Dubai," says Rob Lovett, Managing Partner, Landmark Properties. "In response to the anticipated escalation in demand, we are putting into play aggressive expansion plans that include augmenting our staff, focussing on increasingly in-depth research, expanding our infrastructure and entering strategic partnerships regionally and globally."

Announcing Landmark Properties' expansion into their new offices in the Emaar Business Park which will increase accessibility to the rapidly developing New Dubai area, Lovett reiterates the company's commitment to providing customers with the highest levels of service and individual attention. To this end, Landmark Properties has also increased the number of staff by over 50% to ensure that the volume of work will not adversely affect the quality of the product.

Lovett continues,

"Another significant development in our strategy this year is an increased focus on commercial properties. We will also be building on and expanding our network of remote associated offices, particularly in Europe. Locally, our reach is widening and will be given a further boost with a road show, which has proved to be an efficient and personal means of communicating Landmark Properties' values and offerings to regional markets. The road show in Kenya we conducted last year proved hugely successful and we are keen on repeating that in other markets around the region as well."

Regular training sessions and performance improvement programmes for employees will continue through the year, in line with the company's emphasis on arming customer's with all the necessary information required to make the right decision.
