The Gulf Property Show (GPS), which has grown year on year by over 48 per cent in three years, has firmly established Bahrain as an important real estate trading hub, said Jubran Abdulrahman, managing director of the organiser Hilal Conferences and Exhibitions (HCE).

The boutique showcase for real estate and property developments is set to take place from April 26 to 28 at the Bahrain International Exhibition Centre (BIECC).

The event showcases commercial and residential real estate developments in Bahrain, GCC, Turkey, the US, the UK, and Europe to a targeted audience of investors.

"The Gulf Property Show is a trusted window to the GCC's real estate and property development industry. Bahrain’s financial and real estate regulatory framework is a contributory factor to the success of the show in attracting the kingdom’s leading developers to showcase and launch current and future developments,” added Abdulrahman.

Gulf Property 2015 was attended by 7,200 unique registered visitors who ensured that many developers left the property show with sold-out developments.

“The growth of Gulf Property Show for 2016 looks positive, with six months to go before the opening of the exhibition we have already sold 60 per cent of the exhibition space and we have strong enquiries from both Bahrain and Internationally for the remaining spaces,” said Ahmed Suleiman, HCE exhibition director.

“The 2015 Gulf Property Show was considered by many of our exhibitors to be a business success. One exhibitor sold 24 pieces of land during the three days of the exhibition, while other developers completely sold out the project on display at the show,” he added.

Gulf Property Show 2016 carries with it the strategic sponsorship of Diyaar Al Muharraq and Manara Developments and the support of the Bahrain Property Developers Association (BaPDA).

Gulf Property Show takes place alongside two other major exhibitions – gulfBID and gulf Interiors, continuing the B2B (business to business) and B2C (business to consumer) platforms for the construction, interior and property sectors in the northern Gulf. – TradeArabia News Service
