Dubai Land Department to host Dubai Property Show – Shanghai

Dubai Land Department (DLD), the strategic partner of the Dubai Property Show - Shanghai, hosted a preparatory meeting for Dubai property developers who will be exhibiting at the show from 24^th to 26^th March 2017.

At the meeting, DLD discussed the various methods for ensuring the ongoing success of the show, including the promotional plan shared with exhibitors at the Real Estate Investment Management and Promotion Center, and the ambitious objectives of the show under the theme: ‘Dubai…your ideal destination for investment opportunities.’ A comprehensive presentation was displayed to share data and statistics pertaining to the Chinese market, with DLD and Falcon and Associates representatives on hand to respond to exhibitor inquiries and both emphasise and explain the growing importance of China for the Emirate’s real estate market. 

Her Excellency Majida Ali Rashid, Assistant Director General and Head of Real Estate Investment Management and Promotion Center at DLD, commented: “We seek to support real estate investment companies by organising the whole Dubai real estate investment sector in a way that stimulates activity and not only encourages investment, but also makes it a highly appealing opportunity.”

She added: “Dubai presents Chinese investors with a range of exciting real estate investment opportunities and we will be showcasing a number of these at the Dubai Property Show – Shanghai. We are starting from a strong base as Dubai is already a favoured destination among Chinese investors, thanks to the Emirate’s strategic global location, its position as one of the world’s leading real estate sectors and its renown for top quality construction and design.”

She stressed: “Meeting with the participants prior to the show is crucial if we are to enjoy a successful few days in Shanghai and build on the success of previous editions of the Dubai Real Estate Exhibition. We have focused on providing exhibitors with all of the vital information they need about the Chinese market, to give them context that will allow them to prioritise what projects to showcase while also demonstrating the height of professionalism in all of their dealings. This included briefing participants on the event organisers’ specific objectives and how best to interpret the show’s theme. The exhibitors present at the meeting were also able to ask questions and gain other valuable insights into the Chinese market.”

Majid Saqer Al Marri, Senior Director of Real Estate Investment Management and Promotion Centre at the DLD, added: "We continue to collaborate closely with our partners in the sector, the organisers of the exhibition, and all of the developers and exhibitors. We work as one team and share one key objective – to promote Dubai as a world-class investment destination that offers leading real estate opportunities. We are confident that our participation at the show will result in increased demand from Chinese investors, especially due to the presence of such an enormous number of developers and the broad spectrum of investment opportunities they are offering.”

Al Marri concluded: “Chinese nationals are among the most important investors in Dubai’s real estate sector, to which they have contributed around 10 billion dirhams over the past four years. We look forward to intensifying promotional campaigns for the Chinese market, which is hugely promising and a top priority destination for our promotional efforts.”
