ALDAR - Top Attraction at Cityscape Abu Dhabi - Abu Dhabi's leading developer to showcase Al Raha Beach to an international audience

ALDAR Properties PJSC, Abu Dhabi's leading fully integrated property developer, will be one of the main attractions at the inaugural Cityscape Abu Dhabi. The premier property exhibition will run from May 8th to 10th and represents a massive opportunity for ALDAR to further present its developments to an international audience. This will be the first time Cityscape has been held outside of the emirate of Dubai within the UAE.

"The inaugural Cityscape Abu Dhabi is an indication of the growing stature the emirate has within a global perspective. ALDAR is at the forefront of the massive growth in Abu Dhabi's US$ 270 billion real estate sector and projects such as Al Raha Beach illustrate our commitment towards the emirate. It is important that we take the message of Abu Dhabi and ALDAR to a global audience and the first Cityscape Abu Dhabi is a substantial step in the right direction," said Ahmed Al Sayegh, Chairman, ALDAR.

Aldar Properties PJSC is a Platinum sponsor at the event intended to spotlight the real estate boom taking shape in Abu Dhabi. Topics to be discussed at Cityscape Abu Dhabi include the US$ 500 billion Real Estate Investment Trust market and the planning, design and construction challenges in an emirate surrounded by stunning waterfronts.

ALDAR is expected to showcase one of its most spectacular projects which is changing the face of the emirate. Al Raha Beach is one of ALDAR's signature developments and is a multi-billion Dirham project set to house a staggering 120,000 residents. It will be built alongside 5.2 million square metres of natural beach front along the Arabian Gulf.


Ronald Barrott, CEO, ALDAR added, "ALDAR is committed to a variety of endeavours that will take Abu Dhabi forward. We want to demonstrate this to a worldwide audience and the first ever Cityscape Abu Dhabi gives us the opportunity to communicate our values, brand and most importantly our projects to international stakeholders".
