Gain on fair valuation of investment properties was also higher by Dh67.2 million to Dh315.1 million from Dh247.9 million in 2015.

In line with its growth plans, Dubai Investments’ total assets reached Dh16 billion as of September 30, 2016, an increase of Dh797 million since the beginning of the year. The assets include Dh9.7 billion of real estate assets, Dh3.1 billion of manufacturing and contracting assets and Dh3.2 billion of investments/ treasury assets.
Khalid Bin Kalban, managing director and CEO of Dubai Investments, commenting on the third quarter results, said: “Dubai Investments generated another strong set of results in the third quarter of 2016. Property assets continue to perform well contributing to growth in rental income accompanied by improved performance in the manufacturing and contracting sectors.”
He added: “Dubai Investments will continue to expand its position in real estate and look for growth and diversification opportunities in attractive sectors. Since last year, Dubai Investments began to invest in the education and healthcare sectors and the Company is currently evaluating various proposals to expand in these sectors. In the core segment of real estate, Dubai Investments Real Estate is all set to launch Mirdif Hills – a mixed-use development and the only freehold development in Mirdif area in Dubai. Continuing with these plans, Dubai Investments expects to see enhanced performance for the remaining of 2016.”
