CBRE, a global real estate consulting firm, has been appointed as the exclusive retail leasing partner for Seventh Heaven, Al Barari in Dubai, UAE.

Known for its luxurious properties including spacious apartments and villas, Al Barari is one of the most exclusive and eco-friendly developments in the UAE. Seventh Heaven is the second phase of the Al Barari development in Dubailand, intended to continue the ‘garden’ experience by providing a series of cascading apartments with large terraces, a six-star boutique hotel resort and a retail promenade.

Comprising two residential buildings, spread across 10 and 12 floors and 157 apartments, Seventh Heaven will feature a wide retail mix including restaurants and lifestyle dining, skincare boutiques and salons, banks, and yoga and Pilates fitness centres. The residential component is due for completion starting July 2018 and the retail component due to be operational by Q4 2018.

Anthony Spary, head of investor leasing, CBRE Middle East, said, “CBRE is delighted to partner with Al Barari for the launch of Seventh Heaven retail. Set in the green surroundings, Al Barari has become a culinary, leisure and wellness hub for UAE residents with a key focus on quality, health and wellness.

“As consumer appetite for quality, eco-friendly products and services increases in the region, we anticipate high demand for this space from reputed and renowned retail brand names,” added Spary.

“Creating a strong sense of community is at the heart of everything we do. A community where you can live, feel, and think differently. A community our residents and visitors look forward to coming home to everyday. Creating the right retail mix is at the heart of this. We are pleased to be working with CBRE and we trust that they will deliver on the retail experience we envision,” said Nadia Zaal, CEO of Al Barari.

CBRE’s instruction for Al Barari follows its recent announcement of two key appointments to its Middle East Advisory & Transaction Services team – Zeynep Sarsar joining as manager, Retail Agency, and Jayne Higgins as a Senior Consultant, Retail Agency. – TradeArabia News Service
