    Sample 20. UAE: Abu Dhabi 20.11 Government strategy ADWEA has led the way in the region in private sector participation in the water industry, introducing the emirate’s first IWPP in 1998. In the decade since 1998, 3.3 million m3/d of desalination capacity has been delivered via seven IWPPs, which are detailed in the figure below. The total value of these projects was approximately USD 13.4 billion.

  • Abu Dhabi Report H22012
    Abu Dhabi Report H2 2012 “2012 was a pivotal year for the Abu Dhabi real estate market with the delivery of significant new developments which have raised the quality of living and working standards in the capital. The residential sub-sectors are now becoming more clearly defined by qualitative factors with tenants seeking value for money. In 2013 we expect to see a widening segregation in rental rates between the popular new developments, which, with occupancy levels rising, will be able to sustain rental levels and in some cases achieve growth, and the less popular older stock, that will continue to see rents come under downward pressure as landlords compete to maintain occupancy.“ Paul Maisfield, Associate Director & General Manager Abu Dhabi, Asteco Property Management Abu Dhabi Supply Estimates 2012 New Supply 2013 Scheduled New Supply Average Apartment Rental Rates (AED’000/pa) Apartments (in units) 9,000 12,000 Studio 1 BR 2 BR 3 BR Villas (in units) 6,000 5,000 From To From To From To From To Offices (in m2) 312,000 290,000 Marasy -- 87 110 135 170 185 237 Marina Square 55 65 75 85 110 130 140 180 Nation Towers - - 95 100 145 170 165 300 Reef Downtown - - 55 65 70 75 85 95 Residential Market Overview Rihan Heights -- 95 122 130 150 155 190 We estimate that approximately 15,000 new homes have been delivered to the Abu Dhabi market Saadiyat Beach Apartments -- 81 128 130 163 165 206 over the course of 2012, with a further 17,000 scheduled for completion in 2013.

This has been depicted as a ‘new era of economic transition’, characterised by a public-private partnership that is gradually taking over the role traditionally held by government in infrastructure development. Housing, tourist, industrial and commercial facilities, education and healthcare amenities, transportation, utilities, communications, ports and airports are all undergoing massive redevelopment, radically altering the urban environment in the UAE. Reform of property laws has also added impetus to urban development.

  • From City Branding to E-Brands in Developing Countries: an Approach to Qatar and Abu Dhabi
    African Journal of Business Management Vol. 5(12), pp. 4731-4745, 18 June, 2011 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/AJBM DOI: 10.5897/AJBM10.533 ISSN 1993-8233 ©2011 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper From city branding to e-brands in developing countries: An approach to Qatar and Abu Dhabi Hanan Hazime Faculty of Economics, University of the Basque Country, Bilbao, Spain. E-mail: [email protected] Tel: +34 654966711. Accepted 3 December, 2010 The United Arab Emirates and Qatar both lack natural attractions, their system of governance is almost identical and their efforts at diversification are very similar. For this reasons, in order to compete with the rest of the world, the gulf countries are developing an assertive branding strategy focused on tourism targets, aviation, real estate and high class events and exhibitions in order to put their capitals (Abu-Dhabi and Doha) on the world tourism map. The key element in a successful branding strategy is not reflected by just the ambitious projects that Abu-Dhabi and Qatar are developing but it is, in fact, their image and their reputation that differentiate them from their neighbours. The focus of the present study is to shed light on the key factors featuring in the strategic branding of Abu Dhabi and Qatar by analysing their ways of practising branding as well as analysis of the leading news topics concerning Abu-Dhabi and Qatar in Google News for the year 2009. The aim of this work is to see whether these factors are sufficient for the creation of a distinctive brand.

  • Abu Dhabi—Real Estate Sector New Leadership
    Abu Dhabi—Real Estate Sector UAE Initiation of Coverage January 17, 2007 New Leadership, New Vision • The government of Abu Dhabi has embarked on a well publi- cized effort to transform the Emirate into a world class tourism and business destination. The authorities have taken several steps to achieve this long-term objective, the most notable of which has been the liberalization of ownership laws in residential and commercial sectors. • Historically, the ownership of property in Abu Dhabi rested with the ruler of the Emirate. However, this changed with the passing of the property law in 2005, granting ownership rights to both locals and foreigners, although on differing terms. Similarly, the granting of a free zone status to the Industrial City of Abu Dhabi (ICAD) under a decree passed in 2005 allowed 100% business ownership to foreign investors for the first time in the Emirate. • The relaxation of ownership laws is expected to significantly boost the participation of the private sector in the development of Abu Dhabi. Resultantly, the government has modified its role accordingly, laying greater emphasis on creating an environment conducive to future development. Key efforts being made by the authorities in this regard include: provision of an adequate legal structure, restructuring of government departments and devel- opment of physical infrastructure. • The economic plan envisioned by the government is aimed at reducing the Emirate’s dependence on revenues from the oil & gas sector. The heavy industry sector has been identified as a key growth area in this regard where Abu Dhabi is anticipated to posses a distinct competitive advantage.
