THE FIRST GROUP AWARDS LUCKY WINNER

THE FIRST GROUP AWARDS LUCKY WINNER AN UNFORGETTABLE STAY AT BURJ AL ARAB HOTEL IN DUBAI

Dubai, UAE, March 2016: One lucky winner is celebrating after being awarded a weekend for two at the world’s only seven-star hotel, the Burj Al Arab, courtesy of Dubai-based property developer The First Group.

In addition to two nights’ luxurious accommodation at the iconic hotel, Mr. Dhawan from India received two business class flights to Dubai and luxury airport transfers as part of The First Group’s ongoing ‘Amazing Draw’ promotion.

Mr. Dhawan was automatically entered into the draw when he registered his interest in hotel investment with The First Group during an event that took place in New Delhi, India.

Dubai ranks as one of the most popular international markets for Indian property investors. Indeed, Indian investors accounted for 23 percent of all Dubai property transactions involving foreigners in the first half of 2015, and a remarkable 14 percent of all transactions recorded – including those involving Emiratis and other Arab nationals. According to statistics made available by the Dubai Land Department, Indian nationals have invested over AED 20 billion in 2015, making them the largest non-Arab investors in the UAE.

“I was very excited to receive the call to say I had won this amazing trip to Dubai,” said Mr. Dhawan “I had been planning on visiting the city to tour The First Group’s developments, so this provided the perfect opportunity to fast track my plans.”

The First Group has an exceptional track record of developing international landmark properties spanning over 30 years. Its expert eye for emerging markets led the company’s founders to Dubai, where it became one of the first hotel and property developers to recognise the city’s lucrative property investment potential. Meticulous research and an entrepreneurial spirit led The First Group to specialise in the highly profitable world of hotel investments. It builds iconic hotels, offering individual investors the opportunity to profit from purchasing hotel rooms and suites. Through the First Group’s partnerships with the world’s leading hotel operators, it also means these properties enjoy higher occupancy levels and greater rental rates – factors that in turn spell lucrative returns for real estate investors.

“We were delighted to welcome Mr. Dhawan to Dubai to tour the city and learn about our latest projects, while enjoying luxury hospitality at the Burj Al Arab,” commented Rob Burns, Chief Operating Officer of The First Group. “India is a very important growth market for us and we are always keen to showcase the best of Dubai to investors from there. The ‘Amazing Draw’ is another demonstration of our commitment to providing our clients with unparalleled levels of service.”

Home to The First Group’s global headquarters, Dubai is the main location for company’s diverse property portfolio, which also encompasses the wider United Arab Emirates. However, property investment with The First Group means more than just securing financial returns. Unlike many developers, its relationship goes beyond the handover and clients remain the cornerstone of everything the company strives for, from a project’s foundation to its continuing success over the years.
