To undertake such a complex project, taking into account all environmental and development considerations, it is important to evaluate all aspects thoroughly. We have therefore extended the joint venture by six months."

Emaar has completed the master-plan for the project already, and we look forward to completing all necessary formalities and obtaining governmental approvals for commencing development."
