CityScape Abu Dhabi, the UAE’s most prestigious property exhibition, takes place next week at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre. Running from Tuesday to Thursday, this year’s event comes at a time when the local and regional real estate market is on the up. The show draws home-based, regional and global developers, investors and real estate asset managers eager to market their latest projects and it serves as a snapshot of the property sector both here and internationally.

In this week’s Business Extra Podcast, host Chris Nelson is joined by The National’s Business Reporter Sarah Townsend to take a look ahead to CityScape Abu Dhabi. We also talk to Henry Bott, portfolio manager at Swire Properties, the Hong Kong-based developer behind the huge Taikoo Place commercial building complex located in the Island-city’s Quarry Bay area.
