Saudi-based Artar Real Estate Development said it has won the best real estate developer award at Restatex, the Riyadh Real Estate and Urban Development Exhibition, for 50 years of its construction excellence.

CEO Sulaiman Abdulrahman Al Rashid received the award at a key ceremony held during the four-day real estate exhibition at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Artar played a prominent role in the event, bringing their Mada Residences project to virtual reality for the thousands of visitors to their stand, so that they could truly experience the quality of build and greater liveability offering in a prime Downtown Dubai location, it stated.

Liveability, which describes open-plan homes designed to maximise space and comfort for residents, is the central theme for the 36-storey high rise tower at the heart of Downtown Dubai.

Located within a minute’s walk of The Dubai Mall, the world’s biggest shopping destination, Mada Residences offers 193 larger than average one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom luxury apartments, with a big emphasis on quality throughout.

“Our presence at Restatex has been very positive and we have generated a number of sales leads from Saudi investors interested in purchasing units in Mada Residences, our first UAE project,” said Al Rashid.

"Receiving this award is a great way to close a very successful week and I thank the organisers of the event for the honour and congratulate them on creating such a prominent platform for the region’s real estate industry," he added.

Visitors to the Artar exhibition stand at Restatex took virtual reality tours of the Mada Residences apartments by slipping on headsets connected to a mobile app which allowed them to get a real feel for the apartments, their layouts and the space in each unit.

Artar is the real estate development arm of Abdul Rahman Saad Al-Rashid & Sons, the Riyadh-based group with over 50 years of regional experience in delivering high end projects on schedule.-TradeArabia News Service
