Dubai-UAE: 06 October, 2013

Abu Dhabi-based real estate development company Bloom Properties, a National Holding company, is gearing up to mark its participation at Cityscape Global, the region's leading real estate exhibition held annually in Dubai.

Cityscape Global is set to run from 8 - 10 October. The 2013 edition of the landmark property event is anticipated to draw some 25,000 key decision-makers and real estate investors.

Bloom Properties' stand in Hall 3 at the Dubai World Trade Centre will highlight high-end projects such as Bloom Gardens, Globex Business Centre on Al Maryah Island in Abu Dhabi and Brighton College campus in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. In addition, the company will showcase its upcoming developments that include a Residential Tower in Danet Abu Dhabi, Bloom Central and Abu Dhabi Marina development.

Commenting on the participation, a spokesperson for Bloom Properties, said: "Bloom is committed to leveraging its leading role in the real estate sector. As part of our strategic vision to satisfy both the sales and leasing markets, the company has set its sights on regional expansion in the MENA and GCC countries. Bloom aims to provide an integrated approach to building communities through value-added offerings in education, hospitality, sports, leisure, health and retail by working with best-in-class partners in all projects."

"Cityscape Global is a high-visibility event that attracts real estate professionals from the region and the world at large. The purpose of our participation is to offer investors a fresh perspective of the diversity of our project portfolios that span different scales and dimensions. Our proven track record of completed projects reiterates our commitment to fulfilling investor expectations and developing large-scale communities in new markets with excellent growth potential."  

Bloom Gardens, an exclusive residential community strategically located on the elegant Eastern Mangrove Corniche on the island of Abu Dhabi, has successfully achieved its target of attaining full occupancy for villas and townhouses completed during Phase 1. The project provides a relaxed Mediterranean ambience, lush landscaped pathways and is home to Brighton College Abu Dhabi, schooling over 1,150 students since its launch two years ago.

The prestigious Globex Al Maryah Island Centre located in Tower 1, Sila Tower of the internationally acclaimed Sowwah square in Abu Dhabi, offering convenient and ready-to-use offices has commenced operations with international companies booking commercial spaces. The business centre is particularly suitable for international and local companies that require flexibility in terms of space and lease terms in Abu Dhabi.

Bloom Properties' most recent portfolio of achievements includes the 10-hectare Brighton College campus in Al Ain. The campus, which was inaugurated in September 2013, is the second academic institution for Bloom in the emirate of Abu Dhabi and is open for student for the academic year 2013-2014.

Another landmark achievement for the UAE-based developer is the mega contract it signed last month with the Iraqi National Investment Commission for the development of 50 per cent of the 'City of the Future - Madinat Al Mustaqbal' in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad. Spread across a sprawling 2.5 million sq meters approximate area, the mixed-use community will take shape nearly 14 km from the Baghdad city centre. In March this year, Bloom Properties also laid the foundation stone for the 20-square kilometre development 'Shores of Karbala' that is being developed in the Governorate of Karbala, Iraq along the banks of Lake Razaza. 

The Residential Tower in Danet Abu Dhabi is scheduled for delivery by end of 2013 and will compromise of 120 residential flats ranging from one to four bedrooms.

Bloom Central, the 25-storey mixed-use development will house two properties managed and operated by Marriott International - the five-star 315-room Abu Dhabi Marriott Hotel and the 64 key Marriott Executive Apartments in Abu Dhabi city.

Abu Dhabi Marina, a state-of-the-art project, when completed will feature 200 hotel rooms and 57 executive apartments, as well as two residential buildings comprising 230 apartments, ranging from one to four bedrooms.
