Ishraqah announces the handover of The Onyx

Coldwell Banker is the exclusive sales agent for the mixed-use project on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai

DUBAI – October 10, 2017: Ishraqah, a leading UAE based developer, has completed the handover of The Onyx, located on Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai. The Onyx is Ishraqah’s prestigious freehold project that consists commercial and residential towers along with a four-star lifestyle hotel, three podium levels of commercial and food and beverage outlets, making it a key local community destination in Dubai.

The stylish and premium mix use development has witnessed a surge in demand. Most residential units of The Onyx are already sold out, with many of them already occupied. The offices and commercial space are also in high demand.

Earlier in the year, Ishraqah had signed an agreement with Coldwell Banker, a global Real Estate brokerage. The agreement mandated Coldwell Banker UAE as the exclusive agent for The Onyx.

The Onyx has a five-level car park – two in the basement and three on the podium, providing space for approximately 1,440 cars, exceeding the recommended international parking ratio. The development is equipped with 24 high-end elevators and a fitness center.

Ishraqah was established as a strategic alliance between Al Zahran Group and Bin Mahfouz Group, two prominent business groups in the GCC, in 2006, to pursue opportunities in the regional and international property markets.

Ishraqah and its sister companies currently manage a portfolio of real estate developments and investment of over AED 5 billion, in the US, UAE and Saudi Arabia, with offices in Dubai, Riyadh and Jeddah.

With this exclusive partnership between both organizations, Coldwell Banker continues to lead the project sales for The Onyx.

There is an overwhelming response from potential investors for the few residential units that are available for sale at The Onyx.

The prime development will soon host leading brands including Al Maya Supermarket, French Bakery, Costa Coffee, MMI, Papa John’s and 1004 Mart. Many other retail and F&B majors are also expected to open at The Onyx.

Ishraqah has also moved its offices to the project earlier in the year.

Speaking about the project and partnership, Sheikh Bader G. Al Zahrani, Chairman of Ishraqah said, “We are happy to announce the completion and handover of The Onyx. Our partnership with Coldwell Banker for our prestigious The Onyx project, has boosted our sales immensely.
