Union Properties, noted for their internationally acclaimed developments and recently honoured during the Arabian Business Awards 2005 as Property Company of the Year", had the opportunity to further invest in the growth of the automotive and motor sport industry by sponsoring the Middle East Autocar Awards 2005 through MotorCity. The ceremony was held at Park Hyatt where Mr. Simon Azzam, CEO of Union Properties, revealed the five components of the state-of-the-art MotorCity.

Known for its uniqueness, futuristic vision and innovation, MotorCity was the perfect title sponsor for the 2005 Middle East Autocar Awards amidst the gathering of leading global car manufacturers. Mr. Simon Azzam,: "MotorCity is the only project in the world that offers residents, employers, businesspeople and tourists such an extensive array of sophistication, thrills, quality of life and possibilities.

MotorCity is comprised of five key components: Dubai Autodrome, Formula One Theme Park, the commercial area Business Park MotorCity, and the residential area that includes UPTOWN MotorCity and Green Community MotorCity.

Business Park MotorCity, which grabbed the attention of the entire crowd, received thunderous and cheerful applauses. It was their answer to a long awaited hub where all the automotive industry can be brought into being in one place.

Mr. Azzam said: "MotorCity is truly a unique creation. And within this remarkable environment there's Business Park MotorCity, the heart and soul of the region's automotive and motorsports industry." Business Park MotorCity is perfect for auto-related companies that demand pole position in their market and offers the most high-powered address in town where worldwide corporations can pull away from the competition.

The evening came to a befitting conclusion with Mr. Azzam recognising the people behind this unique event "We would also like to congratulate the organizers of the event, the participants and the other co-sponsors for their efforts. MotorCity is proud to be at the forefront of new automotive initiatives globally and we look forward to sharing in the success of the Autocar Middle East Car Awards next year."
