TFG Asset Management team’s outstanding work leads to high occupancy success
Dubai, UAE (September, 2013) The First Group’s portfolio of finished property and hotel developments has been outperforming estimated market occupancy levels, thanks to the expert work of TFG Asset Management. This dedicated team is responsible for the handover and management of The First Group’s finished projects, which currently include Metro Central and First Central in TECOM and The Diamond, The Spirit and The Bridge in Dubai Sports City.

They have posted 95% and 85% average occupancy levels respectively this year, soaring past the estimated market level of 75.8%.
