<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Dubai, UAE; October 14, 2014: At 555 metres (1,821 ft) high, Dubai today clinched its newest Guinness World Records title. And with it, Emaar Properties, the developer of Burj Khalifa, has unveiled a one-of-its-kind, must-experience journey for every individual to the highest man-made vantage point on earth.</span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">For the first time, Emaar is opening doors for the public to such uncharted heights with the launch of the all-new ‘At the Top, Burj Khalifa SKY.’ Here, visitors can soak up unmatched views of the city and beyond, and feel the exhilarating air from an outdoor terrace and relax in a premium lounge.</span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The grand unveiling of ‘At the Top, Burj Khalifa SKY’ was made even more momentous with the adjudicators of the Guinness World Records officiating Dubai’s newest tourist attraction as the ‘Highest Observation Deck’ in the world. Burj Khalifa bagged the laurel from Canton Tower in Guangzhou, China, which held the record for its observation deck at 488 metres (1,601 ft) high.</span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The new honour adds to Burj Khalifa’s three existing Guinness World Records titles for the Tallest Building, the Tallest Man-made Structure on Land Ever and the Highest Restaurant from Ground Level for At.mosphere.</span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">With the new launch, Emaar is also scaling up the visitor experience with two additional observation points in the global icon. Apart from ‘At the Top, Burj Khalifa’ on Level 124 that will continue to operate as normal, the tower now offers an additional ‘At the Top, Burj Khalifa SKY’ journey with two stops – at the observation floors on Level 148 and Level 125.</span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">‘At the Top, Burj Khalifa SKY’ at Level 148 is the crowning glory and the ‘hero’ level, where for the first time, Dubai residents and visitors can scale up 555 metres (1,821 ft), and step out to an outdoor terrace – the highest viewing point on earth in a building – which opens to mesmerising views of the city and beyond.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Ahmad Al Falasi, Executive Director – Property Management of Emaar Properties PJSC, said: “At the Top is today one of the world’s most compelling tourist attractions. With the introduction of ‘SKY’, we are scaling up the entire journey to Burj Khalifa by offering a truly premium experience that will be a lifetime’s memory for every visitor. We are doubly delighted to clinch the Guinness World Records title that adds to the glory of Burj Khalifa and enhances the reputation of Dubai.”</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Talal Omar, Country Manager for the Middle East and North Africa for Guinness World Record, said: “Burj Khalifa has done it again, surprising the world with its iconic scale and the ongoing creative enhancements. The new Guinness World Records title is another feather in the cap for Dubai, a city that has now one of the fastest growing repertories of the world’s most fascinating achievements.”</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Level 125 serves as a tribute to Arab arts and culture. The entire level that is slickly designed will feature a Masharabiya motif as part of the décor’s central theme.

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The elevator journey back from ‘At the Top, Burj Khalifa SKY’ pays tribute to Dubai with an excerpt of Emaar Chairman Mohamed Alabbar’s speech underlining Burj Khalifa as an illustration of UAE’s drive to excel.

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The guests will continue their journey through an enhanced exit passageway at the ground level.

<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<b style="background-color: black;">The Dubai Mall, Emaar Properties' flagship shopping and entertainment destination, has become the world's most-visited destination for the third consecutive year, welcoming over 75 million visitors in 2013.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<b style="background-color: black;"><br /></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">Following the impressive footfall of 54 million in 2011 and 65 million in 2012, The Dubai Mall recorded a 15 per cent growth in visitor numbers during 2013, with an average monthly footfall of 6.25 million.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">The mall's 1,200 plus retail outlets recorded a 26 per cent rise in sales during 2013 compared to the previous year. More than 50 per cent* of all luxury goods sold in Dubai were purchased at the mall, with its dedicated Fashion Avenue hosting the world's largest collection of fashion brands under one roof.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">The number of visitors significantly surpassed the number of shoppers at the world's other leading malls such as Mall of America and Bullring Birmingham, UK (40 million each); Intu Trafford Centre, UK (30 million); Part Dieu Lyon, France (29.4 million); and West Edmonton Mall, Canada (28 million).</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">Over 40 per cent of the visitors to the mall were tourists, reflecting the tourism demographic trends of the city, with a majority of the overseas visitors coming from Saudi Arabia and other GCC countries, China, India, Russia and Europe.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">Last year, the mall cemented its position as one of the world's most sought-after high fashion destinations by hosting Vogue Fashion Dubai Experience, the largest fashion event of its kind in the Middle East, in partnership with Vogue Italia. The mall is currently spearheading a global fashion talent scout, to identify and nurture emerging and next-generation fashion designers.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">Abdulla Lahej, Group Chief Executive Officer of Emaar Properties, said: "The record visitor arrival to The Dubai Mall in 2013 is a powerful statement that seals Dubai's reputation globally as a business and leisure hub. The socio-economic impact of the mall on the Emirate's economy is tremendous, having generated more than 25,000 jobs and consistently driving the growth of the city’s retail, leisure, and hospitality sectors – the core contributors to Dubai's GDP."</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">"Contributing significantly to Emaar's recurring revenues, thus adding value to our stakeholders, the mall's sustained success demonstrates the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, to create a truly world-class city."</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">Nasser Rafi, Chief Executive Officer of Emaar Malls Group, said: "The surge in visitor arrivals and the growth in retail sales are indicators not just of the popularity of the mall but also of Dubai as a preferred destination for shopping and luxury lifestyle experiences. Having established Dubai as a global fashion capital, we are now further enhancing the fashion and lifestyle choices at the mall with the expansion of the Fashion Avenue by another 1 million sq ft, which will add 150 new brands to the mall."</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">Celebrating its fifth anniversary of opening in November this year, The Dubai Mall is centrally located in Downtown Dubai, the most prestigious square kilometre on earth and the flagship mega-development of Emaar Properties.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">The Dubai Mall meets all shopping requirements of visitors, from fashion wear to accessories, electronic appliances and home furnishing, to the latest communication gadgets and audio-visual choices, books, jewellery and much more.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">The Dubai Mall's popularity as a family getaway is also defined by its 200 plus F&B outlets as well as its world-class leisure attractions including Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, with thousands of aquatic animals; SEGA Republic, the largest indoor theme park of its kind; KidZania®, the dedicated children's city; Dubai Ice Rink, an Olympic sized ice rink; and the 22-screen Reel Cinemas that can seat over 2,800 people. The mall also serves as the gateway to At the Top, Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest observatory deck with an outdoor terrace.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">The US$20 billion Downtown Dubai features Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, several world-class hotels, thousands of residential apartments and modern offices, among others. It was in the global spotlight hosting the New Year’s Eve Gala, which attracted millions of visitors with a spectacular fireworks display that captivated the world.</span></div>

<b style="background-color: black;">Dubai, UAE: Dubai is all set to dazzle the world once again with its iconic New Year's Eve Gala by Emaar Properties at Downtown Dubai.</b></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.emaar.com/Emaar.Upload/EMR-SINGAPORE-EN-US/CMS/NY-2014-spotlight-Final.jpg" /><b><br /> </b></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;">An experience of a lifetime, the spectacular fireworks display at Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, is set to underscore its credentials as the most popular New Year's celebration across the globe, with millions of visitors expected to attend the festivities in Downtown Dubai.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><br />
Hosting over 1.7 million visitors from around the world last year - more than the number of visitors at New Year's galas in New York, London, and Sydney - the Downtown Dubai New Year's Eve Gala, this year, will be differentiated by ten unprecedented fireworks acts.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><br />
With several viewing points for visitors in Downtown Dubai, the New Year's celebration will also be streamed live on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/DowntownDubai">www.youtube.com/DowntownDubai</a>, reaching millions of online audiences in real time. Emaar has joined forces with government entities across the Emirate to guarantee the celebration of a lifetime.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><br />
Emaar is also promoting active online engagement with the spectators encouraged to upload photographs and videos of the New Year's Eve celebrations on social networks, using the hashtag #BeThere.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><br />
Ahmad Al Matrooshi, Managing Director, Emaar Properties, said: "The New Year's Eve Gala at Burj Khalifa enjoys iconic status globally and underlines Dubai's reputation as the must-visit destination to usher in the New Year. Dubai's gala at Downtown Dubai will significantly add to the city's civic pride, boost the tourism, hospitality and retail sectors, and salute the city's win to host the World Expo 2020, with visitors expected from all over the world."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><br />
He added: "Emaar's New Year's celebration is a salute to the positivity, hope, and cheer that Dubai brings to the world. Through the gala, we are inviting the world to welcome the New Year in one of the most dynamic cities. This year, the fireworks display will be extra special with ten spectacular effects, some rising higher than 1 km, which not only salute our nation and the city, but also the design of Burj Khalifa."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><br />
In addition to several vantage-viewing galleries, the public can enjoy the fireworks from the central Burj Park, which will wear a festive ambience with a number of temporary kiosks for food & beverage and New Year merchandise. The event has already recorded strong buzz globally with robust advance booking for hotel rooms in Downtown Dubai.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">Starting with a dramatic display of effects racing up to the pinnacle of Burj Khalifa, 828 metres high, the display will then salute the nation with the green, red, and white hues of the UAE National Flag. Flowers in the colours of the National Flag will cascade down the tower, before silver pearls will burst from the pinnacle of Burj Khalifa in a sparkling celebration of Dubai's success and awe-inspiring development. In a gesture of the warm welcome that Dubai extends to the world, the next act will witness thousands of amethysts launched in every direction and filling the sky.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><br />
Integrating shades of amber and with silver illumination flowing down the tower in gentle elegance, the next act is a tribute to Burj Khalifa and the global collaboration it has promoted. The other acts include elegant green and gold willow comets, silhouetting the vertical lines of the building; and a recreation of the design inspiration of the tower, with fireworks evolving like petals and wrapping it up the tower much like the Hymenocallis desert flower, which inspired the design of Burj Khalifa.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><br />
The grand finale will be a true masterpiece in fireworks display with every direction being lit up dramatically and a golden lattice being formed across the sky. Rainbow effects will fill all over Downtown Dubai as Dubai ushers in 2014.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">Emaar is providing live satellite feeds of the New Year's Eve celebration to global audiences, with details of frequency and uplink to be provided shortly.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<b style="background-color: black;">Dubai, UAE; October 7, 2013: Dubai Holding and Emaar Properties PJSC today signed a joint venture agreement to develop The Lagoons, a magnificent waterfront city that will define the ambitious new face of Dubai's future, within Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City).</b></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<b style="background-color: black;"><br /></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">A master-planned city for tomorrow's youth with state-of-the-art technology networks, the project is spread over an area of 6 million sq metres (over 1,482 acres). Over three times the size of Downtown Dubai, the integrated development creates a dynamic environment for tomorrow's world, and takes into account the rapidly evolving lifestyle aspirations of the tech-savvy and connected youth community.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">Inspired and built by the banks of the Dubai Creek, the historic source of the city's development and the cradle of Dubai's heritage, this prestigious project will bridge modernity with tradition, by upholding the core values that have shaped Dubai as a cosmopolitan hub that is home to over 200 nationalities.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">A Future City for Tomorrow's Youth</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;">In a joint statement, Mohamed Alabbar, Chairman of Emaar Properties, and Ahmad Bin Byat, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding, said: "His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, constantly reminds us that Dubai has achieved less than 10 per cent of its development potential. Dubai has always been a forward-looking city, and today, as we enter our next phase of growth led by our youth, it is important that National Champion companies such as Dubai Holding and Emaar work jointly to launch projects that are important to boost the city's future development.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">"As the city further underlines its credentials as a global hub by welcoming professionals and entrepreneurs from around the world, and led by the Dubai Tourism Vision to record 20 million visitors by the turn of the decade, it is important to continue to build our world-class infrastructure to meet future needs. The project, which will be a new catalyst for growth and create robust opportunities for commerce and entrepreneurship, will set new benchmarks in urban development, with its focus on the tech-savvy and connected youth population who are taking centrestage in driving Dubai's impressive growth.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">"We are thus creating a vibrant destination that will not only address their lifestyle requirements of modern retail, entertainment and hospitality, but also connect them to their Arab heritage. This prestigious development fulfills His Highness Sheikh Mohammed's vision by creating a world-class infrastructure that will firmly establish Dubai as one of the Top 10 global cities by 2020. Truly world-class in design, it will be an inspiring work, play and live environment with several iconic developments, further driving the city's growth."</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">An Iconic New Skyline for Dubai</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;">At the heart of the project is The Dubai Twin Towers, a mixed-use iconic development that defines a new skyline for the city, and is envisaged to join the rank of the world's most prestigious skyscrapers.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">The fully integrated community brings a new aspirational lifestyle with a central business district, an entrepreneurial zone, cultural amenities, residences, premium and affordable luxury hotels, educational facilities, healthcare centres, a waterfront shopping mall and a wide range of leisure choices. All these key components of this world-class development are designed as inter-connected districts, around waterfronts and green boulevards.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">A New City Centre</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;">The project stretches from the banks of the Dubai Creek, through central parcels of land linked to Al Khail Road and across Ras Al Khor. It serves as a modern architectural continuum from Dubai Creek to the modern business and lifestyle centres of the city today.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">The distinguishing feature of the development is its focus on creating distinctive neighbourhoods, which are pedestrian friendly. It will be supported by several sustainable transport modes including a direct link with Dubai Metro's Red and Green Lines, an eco-tram system, light monorail, and water taxis.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 11px;">
<span style="background-color: black;">The sweeping waterfront of the project lined by retail, commercial and residential zones will be built around two central parks. The 'green' theme will further resonate in several environmental-friendly features including eco-resorts, water features, and gardens. A number of small marinas will also be developed across the waterfront, providing the entire spectrum of lifestyle choices for residents and visitors. </span></div>

<b>DUBAI: His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum,
Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, has
launched a 360-degree street-view imagery project of the world’s tallest
building, the Burj Khalifa.</b><br />
<br />
<div class="articleBody">
The launch came as part of the “Street View Collections” project by
Google, which aims to present global landmarks through its mapping
applications which are accessible to more than 1 billion people around
the world. The iconic Burj Khalifa will feature as a “Vertical City”,
being the first skyscraper to be part of the project, according to a
press release issued by the Government of Dubai Media Office.</div>
<div class="articleBody">
Sheikh Mohammed praised the results of the project and the imagery
collection that provides a stunning virtual tour of the Burj Khalifa to
internet users around the world, providing them with an opportunity to
visit this global landmark and experience the elegant details of the
tower.</div>
<div class="articleBody">
Shaikh Mohammad said, “Burj Khalifa is a landmark not only for the
people of the UAE but for people from all over the world, and it is the
right of everyone on this globe to get an opportunity to see and
experience for themselves this global landmark. We do not look at Google
as a commercial body but as a knowledge-based organisation that has
played an active role in linking civilizations to people and cultures,
and in the UAE we highly value the importance of such a role.”</div>
<div class="articleBody">
Google has used the latest imaging systems to present 360-degree images
of Burj Khalifa, which is the tallest building in the world. The
virtual tour of Burj Khalifa can be experienced by visiting Google site
maps at www.google.ae/streetview</div>
<div class="articleBody">
This project is part of Google’s ongoing efforts to design a digital
mirror of the real world, as well as to provide internet users with a
realistic experience of the tallest building built by man. Burj Khalifa
is the first skyscraper in the world which uses the new advanced
technology within Google Maps and is also the highest point reached by
the Trekkercamera, Google’s back-pack mounted street-view camera which
is used to map places where the normal Google cars cannot go.</div>
<div class="articleBody">
Detailed pictures of Burj Khalifa were taken over three days and will
cover Downtown Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, and The
Dubai Fountain in addition to the entrances to the Burj and detailed
pictures of the interior from the 43rd to 160th floors. Stunning
external pictures were also taken from the 160th floor, providing an
outstanding virtual experience.<br />

<b>The Dh1 billion Infinity Tower in Dubai Marina, the world's tallest
tower featuring a 90-degree twist, has been completed, according to its
developer.</b><br />
<br />
<br /><br />
Cayan Investment and Development, a Saudi-based property development
company, said it has received the Dubai Municipality’s certificate of
completion and will be inaugurating the tower on Monday.<br />
The 75-storey tower is approximately 310 metres high, which makes it
the highest twisted tower in the entire world, company president Ahmed M
Al Hatti said.<br />
Dubai is already home to Burj Khalifa (828 metres), the world's
tallest tower, Princess Tower (414 metres), the world's highest
residential tower and JW Marriott Marquis (355 metres), the world's
highest hotel.<br />
Infinity Tower has been designed by Skidmore Owings and Merrill, the firm behind Burj Khalifa.<br />
Thanks to its 90 degree curve from top to bottom, residents will have panoramic views of the Palm Jumeirah or Dubai Marina.<br />
Although the tower will twist similar to the Turning Torso in Malmö,
Sweden, which is a series of cantilevered plates rotated about a
straight structure, Infinity Tower's has much larger floor plates that
require the structure to be twisted as it raised from level to level.
Each floor is rotated by 1.2 degrees to achieve the full 90-degree
spiral, creating the shape of a helix.<br />
The tower will have studios to penthouses, conference rooms, tennis courts, pools, gymnasium, a nursery and a spa.<br />
A total of 68 units are listed for sale in propertyfinder.ae, with prices ranging between Dh1,400 and Dh2,000 per square feet.<br />
Cayan has already handed over are La Residencia Del Mar, Dorrabay and
The Jewels in Dubai Marina and Cayan Business Centre in Tecom.<br />
Emporis data reveals that Dubai has 1,881 tall buildings of which 856
exist, 627 are planned, 355 under construction, 42 un-built and one
demolished. Overall, there are 909 high-rises and 448 skyscrapers.</div>

and is envisaged to be a much sought-after community with its promise
of a refreshing lifestyle. Mira will be the first of many similar
exclusive residential communities to be developed in phases within
