Aldar Properties, PJSC Abu Dhabi's leading integrated property development, management, and investment company, heads to the “Big Apple” New York City, New York, bridging ties between the US property investment market and the emerging market in Abu Dhabi. Representing itself as a new gateway to the Middle East, Aldar is bringing to Cityscape USA 2008 two of its world-class sustainable integrated developments: Al Raha Beach and Yas Island. Visitors to Aldar stand will also catch a glimpse of other major developments that are part of the company's diverse portfolio. The conference and exhibition has the specific purpose of introducing the emerging markets to the western world, the United States in particular. Investment opportunities in markets such as India, China, Asia, Russia, Latin America, and the Middle East are being brought to the forefront of Cityscape USA 2008 creating a platform for the US real estate industry to network with some of the most significant real estate investors and developers from the emerging world. Just the fact that Aldar owns over 35 million square meters of land in strategic locations throughout Abu Dhabi should make keeping a close watch on the company's future developments a likely game-plan for many who attend this year's exhibition. While Aldar will be showcasing two developments, Yas Island and Al Raha Beach, the company's portfolio is expansive, with projects being undertaken throughout the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and with several of them serving a unique purpose for the emirate and country. With assignments worth more than $72 billion, and some of the most highly anticipated developments in the world over, Aldar Properties will be more than a quiet presence at this exhibition. Ronald Stephen Barrott, CEO, ALDAR Properties, said: “Our participation in Cityscape New York gives us access to a very important market. The two projects showcased at this international event- Yas Island and Al Raha Beach- have already made headlines for their originality. Both embrace award-winning developments, and both are living examples of the integrated development philosophy upheld by Aldar.” __
