Paul Turner, general manager of ASTECO Dubai, said “There was an overwhelming interest and response at the exhibitions in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai. We hope to bring more investment opportunities to UAE investors in the near future”.  

 

Prices of the apartments started at 155,000 sterling in London (studios, 1 and 2 bedrooms available) and 170,000 sterling in Dublin (2 and 3 bedrooms). Investors opting for the furnished rental package in London were also guaranteed an annual return of seven percent gross in the first two years following completion.
