Luxury real estate developer, DAMAC Properties, has won a top industry award for the Residential Project of the Year at the Design and Build Awards held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Al Jawharah, an iconic 47-storey luxury residential tower on the banks of the Red Sea in Jeddah, was named the best project in the Kingdom by Construction Week magazine, a leading specialized publication in the Middle East.

DAMACs Al Jawharah includes DAMAC Residences, the first Versace Home styled apartments in the country.

The distinguished project has witnessed huge customer demand from the day of its launch until its recent completion, witnessed by the record sales of the various apartments in different styles & sizes.

Ziad El Chaar, Managing Director at DAMAC Properties said: We are glad of this prestigious award that showcases the high quality and excellence in execution that DAMAC always invests in its projects. El Chaar added: DAMACs excellence doesnt stop here; we are delighted that our first completed international project has won this prestigious award and we are confident that our other luxury projects in Saudi Arabia will witness similar success.

DAMAC has two major luxury residential projects under construction in the Saudi capital-Riyadh; the first being DAMAC Esclusiva with interiors by FENDI Casa and the second, DAMAC Tower by Paramount Hotels & Resorts, both luxury serviced hotel apartments to be managed upon completion by DAMAC Maison and Paramount respectively. The two projects are making impressive progress and recently reached a key milestone last month with the topping off of both towers.

The projects both overlook the Kingdom Tower on King Fahd road in the heart of the capital city.

We have seen such a positive response from our customers to luxury living concepts in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, said El Chaar. Al Jawharah in
Jeddah, DAMAC Esclusiva and DAMAC Tower by Paramount in Riyadh represents the new elegant and luxurious way of living demanded by a refined segment of Saudis living in these two cities, or those visiting for vacation or business purposes, El Chaar went on to say: These projects present a great opportunity for investment while buying a place for living in one of the most desired areas in Jeddah and Riyadh.
