Al Fara'a Properties' sells out first phase of AED 505 million 'Image Residences'

Developer seeks to leverage project's outstanding sales performance to further
strengthen expansions plans

Al Fara'a Properties, the flagship subsidiary of the Al Fara'a Construction,
Industrial and Property Group, announced that it has completely sold out the first phase of the AED 505 million 'Image Residences', merely days after the launch of the luxury residential project. Attracting large-scale interest from regional and global investors for its latest project, the developer seeks to leverage the project's outstanding sales performance to further strengthen its expansion plans.

The developer has also completed its successful participation at the recently concluded
Cityscape Abu Dhabi held at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, where it
showcased its latest project and complete portfolio.

The developer has attributed the project's tremendous success to its high quality
and wide array of offerings, which include a selection of sophisticatedly-designed
spacious studio, one, two- and three-bedroom apartments and plush townhouses.
Comprising of a 17-storey and 11-storey tower, the development will boast of smart
home technology, in addition to a host of other amenities such as a landscaped
leisure deck on the podium level with a swimming pool and children's pool, a
fully-equipped gym, outdoor seating and BBQ area. Retail outlets at the ground floor
will also be available for the benefit of future residents.

"We are extremely pleased with the remarkable turn-out for 'Image Residences'. The
success of our developments continues to be a credible representation of the brand
equity we are building for Al Fara'a that is mainly fuelled by our aspiration to let
more customers acquire our offerings through our flexible payment terms," said
Natasha Gangaramani, Director, Al Fara'a Properties. "The response we have gathered
at Cityscape Abu Dhabi was overwhelming, with our investors showing great confidence
in us as a result of our rich history of 28 years in the construction and
development industry and our strong commitment to the timely delivery of our
projects."

Providing a fitting location for 'Image Residences', Downtown Jebel Ali is a
200-hectare mixed-use urban community along an 11-kilometre stretch of Sheikh Zayed
Road that is comprised of three individual districts - the Urban Centre, the Trellis
District and the Medina District. Designed to exude the aura of historic desert
cities while incorporating modern amenities, the Medina District will provide an
ideal backdrop to 'Image Residences' and other mid and low-rise residential
neighbourhoods. Small courtyards, plazas, cafes and local shops will accentuate the
overall family-friendly environment of the district, which will boast of cobblestone
streets and walkways to entice residents and visitors to walk around and experience
the tranquillity of the new residential hub.   

"'Downtown Jebel Ali' complements our vision for 'Image Residences' - one of
luxurious living that is in stride with the pace of the fast-evolving modern Dubai.
We believe that the wide range of amenities, which perfectly complement the
lifestyle of residents seeking to establish themselves within a dynamic environment
such as Downtown Jebel Ali, have also driven the success of the project. As a
leading developer, our aim is to constantly provide projects, which perfectly
address customers' requirements in terms of quality, location and investment
returns," concluded Nitesh Gangaramani, Director, Al Fara'a Properties.
