Al Forsan Real Estate to lease high-quality staff accommodation in Abu Dhabi

Al Forsan Real Estate (AFRE), the property arm of Al Forsan Holding, today announced the leasing of its high-quality and fully-furnished employee accommodation facility within its flagship Al Forsan International Sports Resort. AFRE, develops mixed-use communities that support active lifestyle through the integration of world class sporting facilities.

Under the new business stream, the company will lease 172 units, comprising eight two-bedroom villas, six four-bedroom villas and 158 single-and double-bed studio units.

“We have developed several projects in the past in the residential, recreational and hospitality sector. We now wanted to focus on creating a product that was a necessity for several organisations operating within the capital.  Staff from several schools, hospitals, other public and private organisations are looking for quality accommodation, and that prompted us to launch this project in the heart of Abu Dhabi,” said Mr. Rashed Al Qubaisi, General Manager of Al Forsan Holding.

The pricing for the staff accommodation is designed in a manner that it is affordable for a majority of organisations in the capital.

“With employees living in several locations, the companies will have to bear a higher cost as they have to spend on transport in addition to losing precious productivity time.

Leasing at bulk in one location offers them better corporate leasing rates, while promoting staff unity and productivity,” added Mr. Qubaisi.

Mr. Qubaisi further stated that due to the location of the staff accommodation which is within the Al Forsan International Sports Resort, residents will have the opportunity to avail these facilities at a corporate membership rates, which is one of the ways of keeping an organization’s human capital healthy and productive at the same time.
