Burooj Properties, the Abu Dhabi-based subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, will showcase properties worth Dh18 billion ($4.9 billion) at the upcoming Sharjah International Investment and Real Estate Exhibition (Acres Middle East 2008).

The expo, which is being held for the second year at Sharjah Expo, runs from December 15 to 18. 

A developer of added-value, innovative real estate projects in the UAE and the Mena region, Burooj Properties, will showcase 'Sharjah Marina', the company's first master-planned development and largest project in the UAE worth Dh15 billion.

Spread over a land area of 10 million sq ft at Sharjah’s Al Khan Peninsula, Sharjah Marina boasts of three luxury waterfront hotels, one of the largest shopping malls in Sharjah, Islamic-inspired museums, and offices and residential towers that will feature iconic designs.

A two-kilometer water canal will run through the marina which comprises an amphitheatre, an Ottoman mosque, public beach, parks, food courts and spas.

Burooj Properties will also exhibit three of its residential towers being developed on Al Reem Island in Abu Dhabi - Burooj Pearl, Burooj Terraces and Burooj Crystal.

These 26, 40 and 48-storey buildings will have 213, 270 and 322 apartments respectively comprising studio to one to three-bedroom apartments, said a company  official.

The towers’ stylish modern facilities and amenities offer essential conveniences of an urban lifestyle. These include 24-hour security, state-of-the-art facility management systems such as automatic temperature control, air quality control, lighting, waste disposal system and CCTV monitoring, among others.

With their ultra-luxurious design, elegant finishing, convenient location and premium surroundings the towers will undoubtedly be an attraction for potential investors.
