Abu Dhabi, December 8 (Reuters) - Palm Hills Developments, the Egyptian real estate developer, aims to achieve sales exceeding $7 billion in its first project in the UAE and plans to begin construction next spring, its chairman Yassin Mansour told Reuters in an interview.
Mansour added that the Saadiyat Shores project spans 1.87 million square meters in Abu Dhabi and will cost around 20 billion dirhams ($5.4 billion).
He said the company is working with authorities to obtain final approvals.
He added that construction is expected to begin in April or May 2026, with deliveries commencing approximately three to three and a half years later. He anticipated demand from buyers in Europe, the United States, Egypt, and Asia.
