"When we developed the idea of launching this channel, it was not a new decision as much as it was a natural progression of thought and action. With the astounding growth and progress of real estate that we have witnessed in the region, the launch of a medium to communicate this growth was simply and only the right way forward," he said.

The channel will broadcast out of Dubai that is undoubtedly the real estate capital of the world, with all eyes on our achievements, he observed, adding that the Channel is also the venue of some of the world's most coveted and cherished real estate projects and properties. Mr Abdullah explained that the channel would be a multiple forum that will address property developers, constructors, engineers, architects, mortgage companies, corporate and private investors etc.

The Real Estate Channel is based in the Dubai Media City free zone, with prominent UAE businessmen as its key motivators. It will be free-to-air on satellite television and can be accessed on Nile Sat (frequency 11785 Mhz).
