The company plans to repay an additional AED250 million in the second quarter of 2024. 

To minimise accumulated losses, the developer and its subsidiaries have undertaken an asset divestment strategy, initially presented to shareholders in 2022, to meet debt settlement agreements reached in 2023. 

The agreements allow Union Properties to change the original land usage for a plot in Dubailand in line with market demand over the next five years. 

“We have witnessed significant improvement in the demand for company-owned plots in Motor City, leading to increased cash flow during the first quarter of 2024,” said
