Open to all from across the world, the #EmaarGoldenHome contest kicks off on June 25, with Italy’s sensational hero Alessandro Del Piero (@delpieroale), who was part of the country’s 2006 World Cup winning squad, sharing a video on how to take part in the competition.

Participation is simple. All you have to do is to tweet a creative photo or video of you or your family/friends playing or watching football in your home, and tag @emaardubai with the hashtag #EmaarGoldenHome.

People anywhere in the world can take part to win the #EmaarGoldenHome.”

Benjamin Ampen, Managing Director, Middle East & North Africa of Twitter, said: “Given the public and real-time nature of Twitter, recent research reveals that Twitter sports fans are passionate about football. #EmaarGoldenHome is a great example of how Emaar is leveraging the power of video to engage with such an audience globally, exclusively on Twitter.”

Alessandro Del Piero added: “Football is a passion for millions across the world, and it reaches its crescendo during this season. I am delighted to partner with Emaar and Twitter on this fantastic campaign that will see football fans kick-off their dreams to win an #EmaarGoldenHome.”

The last date for entries is July 11. On July 15, the winner will receive the #EmaarGoldenHome in the Emaar destination of the winner’s choice. Go to @emaardubai on Twitter and let the action begin!

Warming up for the #EmaarGoldenHome campaign, a Twitter poll on @emaardubai has been already launched. Participants have been voting for their preferred destination to win the #EmaarGoldenHome from four spectacular locations by Emaar – Downtown Dubai, Dubai Creek Harbour, Dubai Hills Estate and Emaar South. These four mega-developments in Dubai by the global developer, with a presence in over 16 countries, are iconic destinations offering four varied lifestyle choices.

Downtown Dubai is already the world’s most visited lifestyle destination, and home to Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall, The Dubai Fountain and Dubai Opera. Dubai Creek Harbour will feature the iconic Dubai Creek Tower and a world-class retail district in addition to spectacular homes set by the Dubai Creek waterfront and opening to fascinating views of the city and the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary.

Dubai Hills Estate is a vast and serene golf course neighbourhood with the central Dubai Hills Park and the much-anticipated Dubai Hills Mall. Emaar South celebrates the joy of living in a lush green neighbourhood with a championship golf course, and next to the Expo 2020 Dubai site.

Over 60% of mall structure is complete with a workforce of about 5,000 on-siteWith about 2 million sq. ft. GLA, Dubai Hills Mall will feature approximately 650 trendy retail and F&B outletsSetting new standard in sustainable mall environments, Dubai Hills Mall to feature solar harvesting shading system that will generate 6.5 MW annuallySolar shading system to help save AED 120 million in energy costs in 25 years
Dubai Hills Mall, the trendy new retail and lifestyle destination in Dubai Hills Estate, is coming to life with Emaar Development (DFM: EMAARDEV) achieving new construction milestones.

Dubai Hills Mall is centrally located in Dubai Hills Estate, one of the largest mega-developments by Emaar as a joint venture with Meraas. It is set in an area of over 11 million square metres (about the size of 1,550 football fields) and features an 18-hole championship golf course, the Dubai Hills Park, open green spaces and more. The development is in easy proximity to Downtown Dubai and the Al Maktoum International Airport, and strategically located at the intersection of Umm Suqeim Street and Al Khail Road.

With a workforce of about 5,000 on site, and more than 8.8 million manhours achieved already, about 60 per cent of the mall’s structure has been completed. Emaar Development has also commenced the structural steel work of an 18-screen cineplex as well as the first glass skylight. Mockup work for facades, skylights, shopfronts, washrooms and the finishes has also commenced.

A unique attribute of the Dubai Hills Mall is its solar harvesting shading systems that are currently being put in place. Set to establish the mall as one of the most sustainable retail destinations, Emaar Development is fitting out car parking shades and the rooftop shades with a dual function – of assuring sun-cover as well as capturing solar energy through photovoltaic cells with the power generated to be linked to the grid of the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority. The solar shading feature is estimated to generate 6.5 MW annually.

Ahmad Al Matrooshi, Managing Director of Emaar Properties, said: “Dubai Hills Estate is today one of the most sought-after lifestyle destinations in the city, with strong customer response to our residential launches. With the Dubai Hills Mall, we continue to build on our track-record of delivering exceptional lifestyle destinations with world-class amenities to serve the residents and visitors. The mall will be a vibrant new addition to Dubai’s retail scene, offering retailers the opportunity to be part of one of the largest mega-developments in the city. We are working with leading consultants and contractors for the on-schedule opening of the mall.”

Offering about 2 million square feet (about 46 acres or the equivalent of about 42 football pitches) of gross leasable area, Dubai Hills Mall will have a diverse mix of about 650 retail and F&B attractions including ‘fast fashion’ outlets and trendy cafes. Other highlights of Dubai’s upcoming new mall destination are four major family entertainment and leisure centres including an 18 screen cineplex, a 63,500 square feet hypermarket, numerous anchor retail experience stores, and dedicated parking spaces for over 7,000 vehicles.

Dubai Hills Mall will add to the lifestyle choice of residents in Dubai Hills Estate, featuring several residential communities including golf-course villas, thoughtfully designed townhouses, apartments and unique co-living concepts – all offering a serene lifestyle amidst green landscaped areas with spectacular views.

The mall offers seamless access from Sheikh Zayed Road, Mohammed bin Zayed Road, Umm Suqeim Road and Al Khail Road. Defining the value proposition of ‘where life is extraordinary,’ Dubai Hills Estate is already coming to life with significant progress achieved on the construction of villas, roads, green avenues, serene lakes and waterbodies. Dubai Hills Estate offers breath-taking views of the iconic Dubai skyline, in addition to parks and other lifestyle amenities.

Emaar Community Management joined hands with residents of its master-planned lifestyle destinations to host Iftar for various service providers as part of the #Building_Communities initiative during the Holy Month of Ramadan.

Residents not only contributed a wide array of food products, but also participated as volunteers in serving the workers at the “serve our service providers” Iftar held recently at Emirates Living and Arabian Ranches. The workers were welcomed by Ahmad Al Matrooshi, Managing Director – Emaar Properties.

The event aims to strengthen the spirit of service and sharing, and to demonstrate the gratitude of Emaar Community Management and residents to the service providers for their exceptional work in the upkeep and maintenance of Emaar communities. Security guards, lifeguards, landscaping, MEP and housekeeping staff and other workers took part in the Iftar and celebrated the cohesive spirit of caring and giving in the Year of Zayed.

Dubai Creek Tower, the global icon in the heart of the 6 sq km Dubai Creek Harbour, has completed concrete placement for the pile cap two months ahead of scheduled completion. The concrete pouring commenced in September last year and reached over 50 per cent completion in January 2018.

Dubai Creek Tower’s pile cap is an approximately 20m thick multi-layered, tiered reinforced concrete top that covers and transfers the load to the foundation barrettes. With this milestone, 50,000 cubic meters of concrete has been poured, weighing about 120,000 tonnes or the weight of the CN Tower in Canada. About 16,000 tonnes of steel reinforcement has also been placed, just over twice the weight of the Eiffel Tower.

In October 2016, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed marked the ground-breaking of the tower, with the foundation work accomplished in a record time. The tower’s 145 barrette piles were tested to a world record load of 36,000 tonnes and laid 72 metres deep to firmly secure the super-structure.

Over 450 skilled professionals from across the world are working on site highlighting the global collaboration that marks the construction of the new iconic structure. Designed by Spanish/Swiss architect and engineer Santiago Calatrava Valls, Dubai Creek Tower will feature several observation decks such as the Pinnacle Room and VIP Observation Garden Decks.

Dubai Creek Tower will add incredible economic value to Dubai Creek Harbour, a mixed-use development located near the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary that is home to over 67 species of water birds and is protected by the UNESCO Ramsar Convention.
