Dubai, UAE, 8th October 2008 - Omniyat Properties, the UAE's award-winning, innovative property developer and member of Omniyat Holdings, has completed 75 per cent of its first family-oriented, fully integrated mixed-use development. Named 'The Square', the project consists of offices, retail facilities, serviced apartments and residential units.
'The Square' is strategically located in Al Mamzar (Deira) in the heart of Dubai, within a few minutes drive to the Dubai International Airport.
Casting of roof completion of the AED 772 million project is due in January 2009.
"'The Square' will be delivered concurrently with Omniyat's 3rd anniversary celebration, marking an important milestone for us," commented Mr. Mehdi Amjad, Executive Chairman of Omniyat Properties.
"The development is set to offer an optimum lifestyle experience for the people who enjoy the fellowship of community living, with its serene and calm settings, including a blue lagoon, white sandy beaches, sprawling park and landscaped paths. The prime motivation for this project is to offer a clean and comfortable life in a relaxed atmosphere for families," he added.
The choice of homes at 'The Square' has been designed to meet a variety of requirements and budgets and targets young families and the middle segment of the market. Along with reasonably priced payment schemes, this project offers excellent value for money.
Architecture for the low-rise buildings relives the neo-classical, Arabian style, in both the exteriors and interiors of the homes. The premium residential complex comprises seven low-rise residential buildings, with the retail arcade spread across the ground floor of the entire complex.
The commercial complex consists of two buildings; the first is an exclusive apartment building which offers serviced apartments, operated by Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts. The second building is a full-fledged office building with a medical centre for healthcare services.
Convenience is also a prime consideration in 'The Square', which has been designed as a self-contained neighbourhood. Lifestyle services include a health clinic, pharmacy, hair and beauty salons, and a nail bar. A day care centre is offered to working parents, and maid, butler and launderette services are available. The street facing the shopping arcade on the ground floor has a supermarket, pet shop, travel agency, fashion and jewellery stores, internet café as well as banking and utility payment facilities.
