Dubai, UAE, September 9, 2006: Global real estate major Emaar Properties has commenced the first-ever international sales of its overseas master-planned communities with the opening of the Canyon Views sales center in Islamabad, Pakistan.
Emaar Pakistan, the country-arm of the property developer, offers Portuguese-style Mirador villas at the dedicated Canyon Views sales center located at Defence Housing Authority Islamabad (DHAI) Phase 2 extension, off Islamabad highway.
Canyon Views is part of a PKR145 billion (US$2.4 billion) development outlay by Emaar in Pakistan and is located in the DHAI Phase 2 extension.
Potential investors and home-owners can visit the centre from September 10, log on to www.emaar.com or call (+92 51) 2803173 for sales enquiries. Experienced sales staff and customer service representatives will be on hand to assist potential investors.
Emaar has embarked on an ambitious expansion and diversification drive in line with its Vision 2010 of becoming one of the world’s most valuable companies. The company has unveiled master-planned communities and mixed-use developments in Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan and India.
“We are honoured to host the first-ever international sales of an overseas master-planned community project by Emaar,” said Mr Mohammed Al-Falasi, Managing Director, Emaar Pakistan. “Canyon Views extends on the concept of self-sustaining neighbourhoods that Emaar pioneered in Dubai. The Mirador homes at Canyon Views match international standards and have already gained overwhelming response from Pakistan and abroad.”
The sales center will showcase perfectly simulated models of the Mirador homes. “Visitors can also gain a glimpse of Emaar’s other developments in the region,” said Mr Al-Falasi. “The center is manned by an efficient customer service team and has ample parking spaces.”
Perfectly suited for families, each stand-alone Mirador villa recreates the flourish of Portuguese architecture with terracotta walls, gabled roofs and wrought iron detailing. Wide-open green spaces, meandering walkways and tree-lined streets set the stage for an ideal getaway from the hustle and bustle of typical urban quarters. The stylish homes, located in close proximity to the city centre, are created to meet the requirements of the country’s population seeking unique living environments.
Mirador offers its residents a range of community and sports amenities such as cricket grounds, swimming pools and tennis courts. The streetscapes are ideal for a leisurely stroll or cycling. Children have dedicated play areas and swimming pools. The town centre will feature retail outlets, restaurants, fitness facilities, schools and a mosque.
Emaar is also developing the Highlands in Islamabad and Crescent Bay in Karachi apart from having signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Port Qasim Authority to develop a mixed-use project in Karachi.
