Emaar Middle East, the subsidiary of global property developer Emaar Properties PJSC and Al Oula Development, has joined hands with Jiwar Real Estate, a subsidiary of the Saudi Binladen Group of Companies, to market Emaar Residences at the Fairmont Makkah in the Holy City.

The highly sought after Emaar Residences at the Fairmont Makkah feature fully-furnished serviced residences in the tallest tower in the Holy City of Makkah and one of the tallest buildings in the whole world. Managed by luxury global hospitality operator Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, the homes are located directly on the Haram Plaza, just steps away from King Abdul Aziz Gate, and residents have breathtaking views of the Holy Ka’bah, Haram or city of Makkah from their rooms.

Jiwar will join Emaar Middle East in promoting Emaar Residences at the Fairmont Makkah during Ramadan, throughout the Hajj season and over the coming year. Jiwar will use its extensive market knowledge and domain presence in the Holy City to directly promote and market the serviced residences in Makkah.

Potential customers can visit the dedicated kiosk operating at the Abraj mall as well as the sales office of Jiwar or log on to www.emaar.com/makkah. To appreciate the full grandeur of the serviced residences, customers can visit the Emaar’s Sales Centre in Jeddah, which features a true-to-type model home replete with all architectural and interior design details. Interested customers can also visit any Emaar office in the Kingdom or worldwide for more details.

Eng Alaa Abdullah Saad, Chief Executive Officer, Emaar Middle East, said: “Emaar Residences at the Fairmont Makkah is one of the most prestigious projects of Emaar with a unique location in Makkah. The Holy City will be a confluence of the faithful during Ramadan and the Hajj season and our association with Jiwar, which has strong knowledge of Makkah, will enable us to reach out a large cross-section of customers.”

Dr Saleh Habib, Managing Director, Jiwar said: “Emaar Residences at the Fairmont Makkah is a spectacular serviced residential project that will appeal to visitors to the Holy City. A premium project offering discerning customers the convenience of being at the heart of the Haram Plaza, Emaar Residences at the Fairmont Makkah also has the added advantage of being managed by a global hospitality operator. We will leverage our extensive contact list and wide product & market knowledge to promote the serviced residences.”

The Makkah Clock Royal Tower, a Fairmont Hotel, which houses the Emaar Residences at the Fairmont Makkah, is part of Abraj Al Bait, comprising seven elegant towers and part of the King AbdulAziz Endowment of The Two Holy Mosques.

At 577 metres, a true architectural landmark in the Holy City, the Makkah Clock Royal Tower, a Fairmont Hotel is developed by Saudi Bin Laden Group. It will be among the world’s tallest hotel towers and will feature dining outlets and elegant conference and banquet facilities.

Distinctive features include a 40-meter clock more than five times larger than London’s Big Ben announcing daily prayer timings, as well as a Lunar Observation Centre and Islamic Museum to showcase the region’s heritage for future generations.

Emaar Residences at the Fairmont Makkah includes spacious studios and one- to three-bedroom residences that are offered on a leasehold basis. Residents can also opt for a rental programme with Fairmont, allowing them to leverage the global sales and marketing reach of the luxury brand.
