“The strong performance and outlook for the UAE’s real estate market provides significant opportunities for Union Properties, including the potential for new real estate developments,” he added.
The company’s management remains focused on improving the efficiency of the business and driving cost synergies across its subsidiaries. It is confident in its debt servicing abilities going forward.
The strong brand of the group and its subsidiaries is being leveraged to accelerate growth and capture emerging opportunities created by the positive momentum in the UAE’s economy and real estate market. Union Properties also continues to focus on driving improvements in its governance and internal controls as it moves forward in its turnaround strategy.
