The Gulf Property Show is being held under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, from April 24 to 26 at the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre.

Commenting on their sponsorship debut, Metropolitan Holding managing director Mohamed Al Sayed said: “Gulf Property Show is the largest and most sought after platform for the real estate and property sector. The event provides a deal-making platform geared up for property transactions that is unmatched.”

The Bahrain-based holding company has a number of dynamic subsidiaries involved in property development, international real estate investment, property and facility management, civil construction, interior design and infrastructure contracting.

“Gulf Property Show 2018 for Metropolitan Holding will be about promoting our developments – Sunset Village among other exciting opportunities in Bahrain. In addition, Metropolitan is showcasing some of the highest yielding exclusive real estate investment opportunities in the UK cities of Manchester and Liverpool,” Mr Al Sayed said.

Sunset Village is an exclusive luxurious development comprising of residential villas along with themed gated community residential compounds, ideally situated in Budaiya near Lagoona Beach resort.

The villas are convenient travel distances to King Fahad Causeway, restaurants and shopping centres with highway access to Manama.

Included in Metropolitan’s portfolio will be the UK’s number one asset class ‘purpose built student accommodation” in the form of the Aura project in Liverpool. This offers a relatively small investment ticket with guaranteed high rental yields of 8.5 per cent.

Metropolitan also has on offer, via an exclusive agreement with Select Properties, Manchester’s premier developer who following on from the huge success of the unique concept of City Suites which boasts 100pc occupancy, will be launching City Suites 2. This, the second release from Manchester’s number one hotel suites brand, offers a guaranteed rental yield of 7pc for two years. Select Properties also has a number of residential projects in the city of Manchester.

Manchester, as well as being home to the Premier League’s top football clubs, is an ideal investment home in the UK’s second city. Manchester currently boasts average rental yields 65pc higher than London. The area is also home to a growing population of students, young professionals and international brands.

“Metropolitan Holding’s support for Gulf Property Show is built on first-hand experience of achieving a sell-out of their real estate stock in last year’s event. Their success, as with all our developers at Gulf Property Show, brings us great satisfaction,” show organisers Hilal Conferences and Exhibitions (HCE) managing director Jubran Abdulrahman said.

“The portfolio of exclusive investment opportunities promoted by Metropolitan Holding will be one of the major highlights for Gulf Property Show 2018,” Mr Abdulrahman said.

The Gulf Property Show takes place alongside two other major exhibitions – Interiors Expo and Gulf Construction Expo, continuing the success of the only integrated B2B and B2C platforms for the construction, interior and property sectors in the Northern Gulf.
