'Developments in the Middle East continue to be the talk of global real estate forums and specifically the flagship projects that have raised the international profile of Dubai and UAE,' Jeremy Helsby, chairman and chief executive of Savills Commercial, said. 'With circa $70 billion dollars invested by Middle Eastern investors in global property last year, the opportunities for both Savills and Asteco are very exciting,' he added.

Founded in Dubai in 1985 with 200 employees, Asteco is the United Arab Emirates' largest property services company.
