The project is scheduled to be delivered from the end of 2017.The company announced that it has sold 90 per cent of the off plan villas in the development.&#8221;We have commenced a cost management, profit optimisation and human capital investment programme which coincides with new project launches, which we are targeting for H2 2016,&#8221; said Manazel chief executive Yaqoob Al Doseri. &#8220;We expect both these initiatives to have a positive impact on our results in the years ahead&#8221;The company said that it was looking to expand its business into &#8220;non cyclical revenues&#8221;, which would be less affected by the volatile Abu Dhabi property market and help diversify earnings.In January, the company announced that it had set up a subsidiary to operate and manage its 60,000 square meter Capital Mall in Mohammed bin Zayed City and retail areas in its Al Reef and Al Reef 2 complexes.&#8221;We will continue to pursue and study significant growth opportunities that exist across both our local and regional markets, and remain focused on steady expansion and growing Manazel&#8217;s brand and footprint in the years ahead,&#8221; Mr Al Dorsi added.lbarnard@thenational.aeFollow The National&#8217;s Business section on Twitter&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource : thenational.ae&#013;<br \/>\nRead more&#8230;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenational.ae\/business\/property\/manazel-first-half-profit-weighed-by-reorganisation-and-staff-costs-at-abu-dhabi-developer\" target=\"_blank\">Manazel first half profit weighed by reorganisation and staff costs at Abu Dhabi developer<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#013; Company reorganisation and staff costs ate into first half profits at Abu Dhabi-based property developer&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"false","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-property-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p75ss1-605","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":11420,"url":"https:\/\/www.siamlandbank.com\/propertynews\/property-news\/abu-dhabi-developer-manazel-real-estate-approves-bonus-share-after-29-profit-rise\/","url_meta":{"origin":23069,"position":0},"title":"Abu Dhabi developer Manazel Real Estate approves bonus share after 29% profit rise","date":"April 26, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"\r Manazel Real Estate shareholders approved the distribution of a 4 per cent bonus share after the Abu Dhabi developer reported a 29 per cent rise in full year profits to Dh195 million.The developer said the growth in earnings was driven by a restructuring strategy started in 2014.
