The largest real estate and investment event for the Middle East is ready to open its doors on Tuesday to thousands of investors, property experts and first-time buyers, as developers shift their focus towards projects that emphasise sophisticated and walkable, mixed-use communities that incorporate the live-work-play concept.
Welcoming recognised industry brand names, Cityscape Global runs at the Dubai World Trade Centre, (DWTC) until October 4, featuring almost 300 exhibitors across nine exhibition halls.
Today saw the opening of the Cityscape Global Conference with experts, industry heavyweights, and innovators shining a spotlight on trends shaping the industry. Held under the theme: Stepping into the Urban Future; Happiness, innovation and technology, it included experts from the Dubai Land Department, JLL, Aldar Properties, IBM, Colliers.
This year Cityscape Global have created two exclusive new features that speak directly to investors, catering to their specific investor requirements. The specialised Hosted Investors’ Programme and The Business Hub aim to boost the relationship between investors – both local and international – and developers, government authorities from around the world, and real estate professionals. Each session will accommodate no more than 30 people, invited exclusively by the Cityscape Group.
Developers will reveal some of the dominant trends taking place across the market to investors and homebuyers visiting the show. One trend that is gaining traction among developers and visitors are destinations that incorporate the ‘live-work-play’ concept, or sophisticated mixed-use communities that offer high-end retail, residential and commercial offerings thereby creating a city within a city – a concept that has caught the attention of investors and homebuyers across the world.
Cityscape Global returns with support from Foundation Partners: Dubai Holding and Nakheel; Platinum Sponsors: Al Marjan Island and Eltizam Asset Management; Silver Partners: Noyanlar and Tamleek Real Estate; and Strategic Partner: Dubai Land Department.
