This year's edition of the HSBC Malta Property Expo starts on March 5 at the Malta Fairs and Conventions Centre in Ta’ Qali.
More than 6,000 people visited the first edition of the fair and applauded the high level of organisation. Most of the 73 exhibitors went away holding filled appointment books, with some sales actually concluded during the event itself.
Then in October, the event received a much coveted commendation during the OPP Industry Awards held in London. This re-affirmed the event’s success with more praise from a highly respected industry body of international property professionals.
“We are extremely pleased with the success of The Property Expo so far”, said Keith Pillow, managing director of organising company, Duplex Real Estate Branding.
“The feedback from everyone has been very encouraging and in fact we closed stand bookings earlier than expected,” he said.
For this year’s edition there are over 75 exhibitors ranging from estate agents and property developers, building innovations, banks and other financial institutions, high end interiors and many other related businesses.
Amongst the many attractions, the Expo will showcase an entire apartment to exhibit the importance of interior design. This stand is being built with the assistance of a number of suppliers, interior designers and contactors and is expected to be very interesting.
The company is very proud of a scheme set up by them which has now become part of the curriculum for third year students at The University of Malta. Students have been invited to design an environmentally friendly and efficient building of any type with the short listed entries being displayed at The Expo. This “competition” is expected to give the students a unique opportunity to present their ideas and work with professionals employed within the industry today.
Another new initiative being introduced for the first time is that for €120 (excluding taxes and airport charges), anyone can board an Air Malta flight from Heathrow or Gatwick between the March 4 and 7 and spend a night at the five star Palace Hotel in Sliema while visiting the Expo.
