"In just two generations, this amazing country has transformed itself into a world-class hub for business and a top destination for tourists. Dubai is home to some of the world's most ambitious building projects, where demand for property is high and investors in commercial and residential developments are experiencing excellent returns."

Situated on the northeast coast of the United Arab Emirates, Dubai is an East meets West phenomenon, and where luxurious hotels, gourmet restaurants and stunning shopping malls are found. Visitors enjoy a vibrant nightlife, beautiful beaches and a year-round calendar of top class sport, entertainment and cultural events.

"There's huge demand for property in the city due to the country's rapid programme of development in the tourism, information technology, shipping, communications and finance sectors," says Mr. Dobson, "Dubai is also home to several world-famous buildings projects, including the Palm and World Islands, Dubai Waterfront, Dubailand and the Burj Dubai, which is set to be the tallest building in the world."

What was once a small trading port has now been transformed into what is arguably one of the world's most dazzling destinations, and many experts claim that this is what makes this famous emirate an increasingly attractive place to live and work.

"With one hundred percent foreign ownership for companies and tax-free earnings for employees, it's easy to see why more and more people are choosing to relocate here," explains Mr. Dobson. "Great earning potential, excellent education and healthcare facilities, year-round sunshine and a superb base for global travel, are all helping to establish Dubai as among the world's most desirable places to be - whether it's for business or pleasure, for a holiday or a home."

The First Group has a record of more than twenty years in successful residential, commercial and resort property development and sales and marketing. As a specialist real estate developer and marketer, it has a specific focus on emerging markets which represent the most exciting opportunities for their large network of investor clients. The shareholders, directors and key management are now located in Dubai and the company's focus is firmly concentrated on real estate development in Dubai and the northern emirates.

"We're excited to be involved in the current real estate developments across the region which incorporate residential, commercial, retail and leisure projects," says Mr. Dobson, "This means we can offer our clients diversity and maximise returns for private and institutional investors alike."

The Bridge is just one of the Dubai developments offered by The First Group. The development will be twenty-eight floors of impressive offices and apartments, in what is arguably one of the most sought-after locations in the UAE.

"This is a great investment opportunity for buyers," explains Mr. Hobson. "The Bridge offers a perfect mix of luxury residential apartments and flexible commercial units, where top-class finishing, quality service, state of the art hi-tech facilities and an impressive return on investment are part of the package."

The development will not only provide easy access to Dubai, but will also be within walking distance of Dubai Sports City's biggest stadium - a world class, 60,000-seater multi-purpose venue. The Dubai Sports City Metro station and the centre's bustling retail hub will also be close by.

"Imagine a world where you can mix business with pleasure; where getting to work is easy; where shopping is a pleasure and where you may even bump into your favourite sports celebrities," says Mr. Hobson. "It may be hard to imagine, but this is exactly what's on offer at The Bridge, and that's why we're so excited to be able to give people the chance to invest in this amazing development."
