(“Assaí” and the “Spin-off”, respectively). The Spin-off will be preceded by the transfer of the shareholding interest currently held by Assaí in Almacenes Éxito S.A. to GPA (the Spin-off, together with the preceding transfer aforementioned, the “Potential Transaction”). The goal of the Potential Transaction is to unleash the full potential of the Company’s cash & carry and traditional retail businesses, allowing them to operate on a standalone basis, with separate management teams, and focusing on their respective businesses models and market opportunities. Additionally, the Potential Transaction will provide each of the businesses with direct access to the capital markets and other sources of funding, hence allowing them to prioritize investments according to each company’s profile, thus creating more value for their respective shareholders. Upon the implementation of the Potential Transaction, the shares issued by Assaí and held by the Company will be distributed to the Company’s shareholders, on a pro rata basis. The distribution of shares will occur after the listing of Assaí’s shares on the Novo Mercado segment of B3 S.A.

  • Dubai [Metro]Polis: Infrastructural Landscapes and Urban Utopia
    Dubai [Metro]polis: Infrastructural Landscapes and Urban Utopia When Dubai Metro was launched in 2009, it became a new catalyst for urban change but also a modern tool to interact with the city - providing a visual experience and an unprecedented perception of moving in space and time, almost at the edge between the imaginary and the real. By drawing on the traditional association between train, perception and the city we argue that the design and planning of Dubai Metro is intended as a signifier of modernity for the Gulf region, with its futuristic designs and in the context of the local socio-cultural associations. NADIA MOUNAJJED INTRODUCTION Abu Dhabi University For the last four decades, Dubai epitomized a model for post-oil Gulf cities and positioned itself as a subject for visionary thinking and urban experimentation. PAOLO CARATELLI During the years preceding 2008, Dubai became almost a site of utopia - evoking Abu Dhabi University a long tradition of prolific visionary thinking about the city – particularly 1970s utopian projects. Today skyscrapers, gated communities, man-made islands, iconic buildings and long extended waterfronts, dominate the cityscape. Until now, most of the projects are built organically within a fragmented urban order, often coexisting in isolation within a surrounding incoherence. When inaugu- rated in 2009, Dubai Metro marked the beginning of a new association between urbanity, mobility and modernity. It marked the start of a new era for urban mass transit in the Arabian Peninsula and is now perceived as an icon of the emirate’s modern urbanity (Ramos, 2010, Decker, 2009, Billing, n.

  • DUBAI Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide
    DUBAI Cushman & Wakefield Global Cities Retail Guide Cushman & Wakefield | Dubai | 2019 0 Dubai has developed into the retail hub of the Middle East and is the most sophisticated retail market in the region. The proliferation of retail development over the last ten years has led to Dubai having one of the highest retail to population densities in the world. It finished ahead of New York and London for shopping in TripAdvisor’s recently published second annual Cities Survey. Perhaps the best known of Dubai’s plentiful selection of retail malls is The Dubai Mall which is located in the heart of the prestigious Downtown Dubai and is one of the world’s most-visited retail and entertainment destination, having welcomed more than 80 million visitors annually over the last five years. Dubai Mall provides over 1,350 retail stores and over 200 food and beverage outlets, together with leisure and entertainment attractions. Its most recent expansion in 2017 provides connectivity to the attractions and amenities in the neighbouring Burj Khalifa. Other high- profile retail malls that dominate the retail market include Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Festival City. International retail brands are predominantly operated under license by ‘retail partners’ who hold licenses for multiple brands in their portfolios. These include groups such as Al Shaya, Landmark and Majid Al Futtaim. Often these retail operators can also be mall developers in their own right. These companies are very powerful in the retail sector and can make the difference between a new mall development securing attractive brands or struggling to attract the right brands and potential failure.

  • 1 Simple Linear Regression I – Least Squares Estimation
    1 Simple Linear Regression I – Least Squares Estimation Textbook Sections: 18.1–18.3 Previously, we have worked with a random variable x that comes from a population that is normally distributed with mean µ and variance σ2. We have seen that we can write x in terms of µ and a random error component ε, that is, x = µ + ε. For the time being, we are going to change our notation for our random variable from x to y. So, we now write y = µ + ε. We will now find it useful to call the random variable y a dependent or response variable. Many times, the response variable of interest may be related to the value(s) of one or more known or controllable independent or predictor variables. Consider the following situations: LR1 A college recruiter would like to be able to predict a potential incoming student’s first–year GPA (y) based on known information concerning high school GPA (x1) and college entrance examination score (x2). She feels that the student’s first–year GPA will be related to the values of these two known variables. LR2 A marketer is interested in the effect of changing shelf height (x1) and shelf width (x2)on the weekly sales (y) of her brand of laundry detergent in a grocery store. LR3 A psychologist is interested in testing whether the amount of time to become proficient in a foreign language (y) is related to the child’s age (x). In each case we have at least one variable that is known (in some cases it is controllable), and a response variable that is a random variable.

Our estimates show a positive effect of the metro Available online: October 6, 2015 on sale values of both residential and commercial properties, although the effect is stronger for commercial properties. The models also reveal that the effect of the metro on the value of dwellings and commercial properties is largest within 701 to 900 meters of a metro station and is about 13 percent and 76 percent, respectively. 1 Introduction A large number of researchers have examined the effect of rail systems on property values and the range of estimates varies substantially across studies (Mohammad et al. 2013). The majority of studies sug- gests that proximity to rail stations enhances property values (e.g., Laakso 1992; Pan and Zhang 2008; Voith 1991; Weinberger 2001), some indicate a negative impact at certain locations mainly due to negative environmental externalities (e.g., Bolling, Ihlanfeldt, and Bowes 1998; Cervero 2003; Du and Mulley 2006), and a few show no noticeable effect (Gatzlaff and Smith 1993).
