Sherwoods to showcase best-selling properties in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, UK, France and India at Cityscape Abu Dhabi

Cityscape to serve as launchpad for major marketing campaign to highlight exciting investment opportunities in Indian real estate market

April 15, 2009
Sherwoods Independent Property Consultants has announced that it has prepared an exclusive range of international projects in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, UK, France and India to highlight its participation at Cityscape Abu Dhabi, the premier real estate investment and development showcase to be held at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Centre from April 19 to 22, 2009. Sherwoods further revealed that Cityscape Abu Dhabi will serve as a springboard for a major marketing campaign that will highlight premium property investment opportunities in India, the emerging new frontier for global real estate investments.

Headlining the Sherwoods showcase are top-sellers in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, including the Jumeirah Beach Residence and Arabian Ranches in Dubai and the Marina Square, the first projected to be completed on Al Reem Island in Abu Dhabi. The Rive Gauche, an exclusive 24-apartment complex located off the shores of the picturesque Lake Geneva in Evian, France, and Arlington Street, a residential development property in London that features an exclusive, high-end line of seven fully furnished apartment units, will also be on offer. Sherwoods' Indian property showcase will include the golf-themed Wishtown Klassic Apartments in Noida and Jaypee Greens in Greater Noida, and the Pioneer Park, an integrated community project in Gurgaon, Haryana, south of the Indian capital city New Delhi spanning residential, commercial and retail amenities and a 5-star hotel development.

Iseeb Rehman, Managing Director of Sherwoods Independent Property Consultants said: "As one of the region's most important real estate showcase events, Cityscape Abu Dhabi remains a highly influential platform to promote Sherwoods' marketing initiatives. This year's edition will be particularly important in the wake of the global economic challenges; investors and property buyers will surely be keenly observing and scouting for new opportunities and Sherwoods is confident that our excellent range of value-loaded properties will be a key factor in driving back investor enthusiasm in the real estate sector."

Puniet Singh, Director of Operations & Project, Sherwoods Independent Property Consultants said: "Demand for real estate in India remains very strong and Sherwoods is thrilled to open opportunities for investors and property buyers to explore new investment options in this key market. Moreover, Sherwoods' property offerings are packaged with highly attractive financing options, particularly for Non-Resident Indian investors; the Indian banking sector has been flushed with capital despite the global economic challenges, largely because of a thriving retail deposits market supported by India's extremely large population, resulting in high liquidity and greater flexibility to offer real estate financing services. These factors indicate that India is certainly a safe haven for mid and long-term real estate investments and that now is the best time to invest in this vibrant growth market."

The Wishtown Klassic Apartments project in Noida, developed by Jaypee Group, is spread over 1,162 acres and offers signature Graham Cooke golf facilities; exclusive independent homes and luxury apartments; a Town Centre with cultural galleries, restaurants, cafes, high street retail and other facilities; a super-speciality Jaypee Medical Centre; and various social clubs with recreational and health facilities. Leading banks are offering Non-Resident Indian (NRI) investors of Wishtown Klassic Apartments up to 80 per cent financing. Jaypee Group’s other project - India's first golf-centric real estate development sitting on 452 acres of land in Greater Noida - features a Greg Norman-designed championship golf course, residential options ranging from exclusive independent homes to luxury apartments, a 170-room boutique spa, 60 acres of natural reserve and the Jaypee Integrated Sports Complex, which is known as India's finest sports club.

Pioneer Park developed by Pioneer Urban, located in Gurgaon in the State of Haryana, is a master development envisioned to provide a framework for a sustainable mixed-use community. With a total built-up area of 6 million square feet, the project will include apartment towers, low-rise townhouses, an expansive park that connects all sections of the community, play areas, retail and entertainment districts, a 5-Star hotel, top-quality shopping centres, restaurants, bars, art galleries and boutiques, and several other premium amenities.

Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) is the only freehold natural beachfront property in Dubai. JBR offers completed one, two and three-bedroom units with excellent views and financing options, while the development also features The Walk, Dubai's only open-air beachfront shopping destination. Offering a selection of villas and townhouses highly accessible to business districts such as Jebel Ali, Dubai International Airport and Downtown Dubai, Arabian Ranches is a gated family-oriented community that features a golf course, schools, a shopping arcade, and flexible financing options from all banks.

Marina Square is a prestigious marina development distinguished by iconic towers at the forefront of Al Reem Island. Scheduled for handover by late 2009, Marina Square is an excellent buy-to-rent opportunity for investors and property buyers. Featuring studio to five-bedroom apartments, the Rive Gauche in Evian, France is just 30 minutes away from the region's famed ski slopes and is highly accessible through direct flights to Geneva. Set for completion by 2011, Rive Gauche requires a minimal five per cent reservation fee and offers investors finance options. Arlington Street is nestled near the Green Park and directly opposite London's famous 'The Ritz' hotel, and is also in proximity to West End theatres, restaurants and main hotels, making it a truly premium-value property investment.
