ABOVE: Mona Al Tamimi, VP, marketing and corporate communications for Deyaar Development.

Last month’s’s Deyaar event in Nairobi was billed as showcasing “premium Dubai real estate projects to Kenyan investors”. Could you tell us about some of these projects?

Our main focus was on our premium project, Millennium Deyaar Atria Residences. It is a 30-storey residential tower and a luxury serviced apartment tower in Business Bay — a social and commercial hub with views of the Dubai Water Canal and Burj Khalifa (world’s tallest building). The contemporary serviced apartments will be operated by world-renowned hotel operator Millennium & Copthorne. We also had Midtown by Deyaar, the new integrated urban community in Dubai Production City targeting middle-income families as well as Mont Rose project, a two residential towers and a well-appointed hotel-apartment tower at Dubai Science Park in Al Barsha South area.
