Emaar Properties hosted the first-ever Community Market Day for residents of The Greens and The Views master-planned neighbourhoods.

Over 1,500 residents attended the ‘bring and buy sale’ event, which showcased an array of knick-knacks, fashionwear, toys, audio-visual products and home accessories.

According to a top Emaar official, the proceeds from the community market would be donated to the local charities.

Emaar Properties Executive Director (Asset Management) Ahmad Al Falasi, said the three-hour event was open to all residents of the two Emaar communities.

“The first-ever community market day for residents of The Greens and The Views, two of our established neighbourhoods received enthusiastic support,” he noted.

The community event helped strengthen the family feeling through free entertainment for children.

“Organised by Emaar’s Community Management Department, the event underscores our commitment to build the neighbourhood feeling through events that promote greater social interaction among residents,” he added.

“There were several great buys at the event, but best of all, the Community Market Day lived up to its name and turned out to be a fun-filled family outing opportunity,” said a resident.

“These initiatives are important in today’s fast-paced world, and will enable us to get to know better others who live in our neighbourhood.”

Emaar routinely organises Community Market Days and other social events for residents in its master-planned communities – Arabian Ranches, Dubai Marina and Emirates Living, which includes The Views, The Greens, The Springs, The Meadows and The Lakes. TradeArabia News Service
