As announced on 28 November 2014, the Qualified Institutional Tranche of the IPO was also successfully closed.
The UAE tranche will comprise 40% of the shares on offer in the AED 2.5 billion IPO, with the remaining 60% having been allocated to the Qualified Institutional Tranche.

I think our project has captured the imagination of UAE investors, who have clearly demonstrated their conviction in supporting what will become an important element of Dubai’s 2020 tourist strategy. We look forward to welcoming our retail investors on board.”
