The letter, dated October 11, 2024, from Khaled Chaaban, Board Secretary of Union Properties PJSC, addresses an inquiry regarding the discrepancy between the estimated project value of AED 2 billion mentioned in a press release and the project cost of AED 1.15 billion stated in a disclosure. The letter clarifies that the disclosed project cost includes only construction-related expenses, excluding additional costs such as marketing, sales, management, overheads, and financing. The total project value reflects the entire project, and the company's current strategy is to retain ownership of some units to increase annual recurring income, rather than selling the entire project. Therefore, the project's value should not be calculated simply by adding construction costs and estimated profits.
