United Arab Emirates<br />
The Cove, Ras Al Khaimah<br />
The UAE has seen massive real estate growth over the past<br />
few years, with Dubai taking the lion’s share of the development<br />
and profits.<br />
Ras Al Khaimah has been more moderate with its planning and we<br />
believe the destination will benefit from this phased development in the<br />
long term. Its planning strategy complements our own business model<br />
in its desire to develop carefully and with consideration for the future.<br />
Work began on The Cove during 2005, when the Government of UAE<br />
invited OHD to develop a residential resort. The main bulk of the project<br />
was undertaken during 2006 with the announcement of an agreement<br />
with the management company Rotana, a renowned operator specialising<br />
in Middle East properties. it will manage The Cove Rotana Resort and<br />
Spa, an exclusive four star hotel with a distinctively luxurious feel.<br />
