Unveiling details on a range of mixed-use developments, Bloom Holding also showcased existing projects such as Bloom Heights and Bloom Towers in Dubai, and Park View and Soho Square in Abu Dhabi.

Sameh Muhtadi, CEO of Bloom Holding, said: “Our participation in Cityscape Abu Dhabi 2018 demonstrates the importance we accord to the local real estate market, even as we strengthen our presence in key international markets.

“Cityscape provides us with an ideal platform to engage directly with local and international buyers who are interested in our diverse offering. We also look forward to meeting with our investors and sharing with them updates on the ongoing construction activities at our key projects.”

Founded in December 2016, ARADA is one of the UAE’s newest developer, with a focus on Sharjah. Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, CEO, ARADA, said: “At this year’s event, we are launching the second phase of Aljada, only a few months after we announced the project in September 2017. I’m very excited about what we’re offering with the second phase of this incredible project; we’re building something that we think will be of huge interest to younger members of the community, whether they are students, perhaps working for the first time or recently married.”

Running in tandem with the exhibition, the Cityscape Abu Dhabi Conference hosted some of the region’s prominent real estate speakers throughout the day.

Representatives such as Chris Seymour of Mott Macdonald; Andrew Rippon, a Blockchain Consultant; Maysa Sabah, from The Affordable Housing Institute; and Mohammad Al Fardan, of Masdar Free Zone took to the stage to share their findings and solutions to some of the biggest challenges facing the industry.
