Dubai, UAE, October 6, 2007: Emaar Properties, a global developer with significant presence in 36 active markets, is showcasing its international and flagship development projects at EXPO REAL 2007, a global trade exhibition to be held at the New Munich Trade Fair Centre, Munich, Germany from October 8 to 10, 2007.
Making its 2nd appearance at the international event, Emaar will highlight the company’s flagship projects including Downtown Burj Dubai, King Abdullah Economic City in Saudi Arabia and several master-planned communities in its international markets such as Egypt, Syria and Morocco.
“Emaar’s participation in EXPO REAL 2007 demonstrates our international expansion plan, which is in line with our Vision 2010 to become one of the most valuable companies in the world,” said Issam Galadari, Managing Director, Emaar International - Middle East and North Africa.
He added: “As a trade fair hosting some of the word’s high-profile developers, investors and global industry professionals, EXPO REAL is a perfect venue for enhancing the awareness of our projects on a global scale. It also showcases Dubai’s ever expanding and inspirational architectural infrastructure to a widened global audience, creating an invaluable networking platform for key investors.”
Key attractions at the Emaar stand will include the mixed-use Downtown Burj Dubai community, including Burj Dubai, the world’s tallest building and free-standing structure.
“Burj Dubai is a milestone for Dubai as well as the multinational team of over 5,000 people who work to make this iconic structure a symbol of human achievement,” added Mr Galadari. “While Burj Dubai will obviously be a centre of attraction at the event, we also want to streamline investor interest on our eclectic portfolio of projects.”
Emaar will also display the recently launched Marassi residential development in Egypt, along with the Eighth Gate master planned community project in Damascus, Syria, and Emaar’s ongoing and expansive developments in Morocco, comprising Amelkis II and III, Bahia Bay, Oukaimeden, Tinja and Saphira communities.
Replicating its successful business model in Dubai, Emaar is extending its expertise in creating master-planned communities to international markets. Simultaneously, Emaar is developing new competencies in hospitality & leisure, malls, education, healthcare and finance, which have evolved from its integrated approach to customer service and property development.
Emaar has highlighted the remarkable global growth of the company by debuting on the Financial Times Global 500 ranking, which provides an annual snapshot of the world’s largest companies.
