Dubai, UAE; January 24, 2019: Dubai Hills Estate is offering customers of its new Executive Residences the opportunity to obtain a complimentary 3-year renewable business licence and renewable residency visa, when they pay only 15 per cent of the apartment price, through its partnership with DMCC (Dubai Multi Commodities Centre).

Taking the home-office concept to the next level, this unique opportunity allows entrepreneurs and ‘remote workers’ to obtain a business licence from DMCC, the world’s leading free zone, and operate their business from the comfort of their own home at Executive Residences. With the rise of freelancers, flexible working schedules, as well as the growing importance of the start-up ecosystem in the UAE, this ownership scheme has now become more sought after than ever. Investors will enjoy all the benefits of DMCC, such as 0 per cent tax, 100 per cent business ownership, capital repatriation, as well as discounts on business licence renewal.

Executive Residences homes overlook the lush green Dubai Hills Park and the vibrant Dubai Hills Boulevard, and are in walking distance of the Dubai Hills Mall – all set within the 11 million square metre master-planned green oasis in the heart of the city.

Part of a three-tower development seated on a landscaped podium, Executive Residences feature one, two and three-bedroom apartments where homeowners can start, run and grow their business. Residents can choose from homes with park side, boulevard or Burj Khalifa views.

The tower has business-centric shared spaces such as meeting rooms, a common room and a café to facilitate the work from home lifestyle. Complementing the green views from the homes, Executive Residences focus on the wellness of residents with amenities such as a state-of-the-art modern gymnasium, Zen and yoga gardens, children’s play areas, and an infinity edge swimming pool to foster a stronger sense of community. Residents will also be in walking distance of two world-class hotels, schools, and healthcare centres.

Dubai Hills Estate is effortlessly accessible from Sheikh Zayed Road and is located at the crossroads of Al Qudra and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. It will also have connectivity to public modes of transport including a Dubai Metro link. A dedicated Dubai Hills Rail line will connect residents and visitors to the two international airports in the city.

Dubai, UAE; January 22, 2019:: Emaar has made significant progress in the construction of five new retail link bridges that will further strengthen road connectivity to The Dubai Mall, the world’s most-visited retail and lifestyle destination. Scheduled to open in February, the retail link bridges connect the mall with Doha Road/Financial Centre Road.

The new bridges are part of The Dubai Mall’s Zabeel expansion and are executed by Emaar with the support of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). At a length of over 1.78 kilometres, the elevated bridges have a total decked area of about 15,000 square metres. The longest bridge is over 765 metres while the others vary in length from 120 to 582 metres. The bridges are buttressed by over 580 piles of varying diameter adding to their stability and strength.

The bridge spans, constructed and pre-assembled in Al Quoz, are erected over the piers to accelerate the completion, while the final steelwork connection will be made on site. Lifted into position using heavy-duty cranes, the bridge spans will then be fortified with asphalt, and finishing touches carried out. Work on the bridge spans are being done with the support of Dubai Police and RTA in the early hours of the morning to minimise disturbance to drivers.

The new retail bridge link will be the third in Downtown Dubai that enhances ease of access for visitors. Emaar has already opened link bridges from the Dubai Metro station as well as between Address Boulevard and the Metro Link. The new Zabeel expansion will further add to retail, F&B and entertainment choices of visitors to the mall.

The Dubai Mall has welcomed over 80 million annual visitors for the past four consecutive years and is the flagship of Emaar Malls, the shopping malls subsidiary of Emaar Properties. According to estimates by the Dubai Department of Tourism & Marketing Authority, about 98 per cent of all annual visitors to the city tour The Dubai Mall for retail therapy or its famed leisure attractions including Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, the VR Park and KidZania®.

The record annual visitor footfall, robust sales and steadfast appeal as a family leisure destination highlight the industry standards that the mall has set. The remarkable contribution of The Dubai Mall owes to the trust and confidence of our local and international shoppers, our retail partners and our teams who have worked together tirelessly to ensure that The Dubai Mall is and remains worthy of the nation’s pride. Ten years is a short period – we are excited for the next ten and beyond, we will continue to build on our success and to position The Dubai Mall as the jewel in the crown of Premium Global Retail for generations to come.”
