Dubai's Emaar Launches Value Housing Subsidiary Dawahi Development
Monday, Oct 24, 2011
(This story was originally published Sunday.)
DUBAI (Zawya Dow Jones)--Dubai-based Emaar Properties (EMAAR.DFM) said Sunday it has launched a new subsidiary, Dawahi Development, to cater for next-generation 'value housing' projects.
"Dawahi Development will function as a separate entity with a dedicated management team and professional staff members focused on value housing projects across the Arab world," Emaar said in an emailed statement.
Dawahi Development will also create robust employment and business opportunities for the local population, the company said.
Emaar Chairman Mohamed Alabbar said while Emaar will continue to focus on the 'affordable luxury' real estate sector, Dawahi Development aims to provide management, master development design and program management for 'value housing' projects across the wider Mena region.
"Dawahi Development will leverage Emaar 's competencies to create a greater volume of value homes through a unique supply chain management strategy, to ensure mid-price points. This new initiative complements Emaar 's strategic long-term outlook to add value for our stakeholders by leveraging growth opportunities in emerging markets," Alabbar said.
Emaar shares closed trading Sunday 0.4% down at AED2.46 in a slightly lower overall market.
