Luxury lifestyle provider, DAMAC Properties, showcased its state-of-the-art projects at the PropertyLink 2007 exposition between May 2nd and May 4th 2007 at the Zara Expo in Amman. The exhibition is being held in cooperation with Jordan Investment Board, Greater Amman Municipality and the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority

“This is an influential and important event on the calendar of every international property developer, and we are delighted to be part of it. Throughout the last 3 days we displayed the most luxurious, elegantly designed, high quality properties spread across the region,” said Mr. Hussain Sajwani, Chairman, DAMAC Holding.

DAMAC Properties recently launched its fourth project in Jordan, ‘Business Heights’, a 20 story commercial tower in the Abdali master planned development. It is important to note that the company is the first to launch a commercial tower in the Abdali area, and that it was also the first to introduce a residential project with the launch of ‘The Heights’, a 35 story tower in the same location. Business Heights is located along Naboulsi Street and at Naboulsi Gate; also known as one of the best locations within the Abdali area.


 “We have confidence in the Jordanian market, since our previous three projects, 'The Heights', ‘The Lofts’ and ‘Courtyard I’ were very well received by our Jordanian clients. Such positive outcomes encouraged us to launch our Business Heights project in Jordan in March this year, making it our fourth. This project targets the fast paced business community, and we are sure that through our offerings, our valued customers will enjoy the best facilities the industry has ever seen,” said Peter Riddoch, CEO at DAMAC Properties.

Located in the heart of Amman, Abdali is a prestigious US$1.5 billion mixed-use development featuring several districts. It is also one of Jordan's largest and most ambitious ventures. It offers a unique opportunity to build a new downtown for a vibrant city, with a carefully crafted plan featuring more than 3.5 million square feet of construction in the heart of Amman’s downtown area.

DAMAC Properties recently launched yet another luxurious masterpiece, ‘The Signature Series’. This will be the most expensive penthouse offering in the Middle East. Each penthouse will be worth US$ 8.75 to US$ 10 million, located  in ‘Ocean Heights’, the 82-story award-winning marvel in Dubai Marina and ‘Lotus Heights’ in the bustling Business Bay. HBA (Hersh Bedner Associates), a leader in hospitality interior designing worldwide, has lent its expertise to the unique interiors of these Signature Residences.
