Amirah Developments, one of Dubai’s leading real estate developers, has signed up Shine Square Building Contracting for its maiden project – Bonds Avenue Residences – that will be constructed on Dubai Islands, a new waterfront mixed-use community.

The residential project, located in one of Dubai’s promising urban corridors, will offer a carefully curated mix of contemporary apartments, landscaped courtyards, leisure amenities and community facilities, all designed with the modern family and urban professional in mind.

Smart home integrations, energy-efficient systems, and pedestrian-friendly design principles will echo the sustainable ethos that made Bonds Avenue a model for eco-conscious living, it stated.

Bonds Avenue Residences will redefine beachfront luxury with its architectural innovation and commitment to sustainable living, said the developer.

For the project, Amirah has roped in Al Gafry Consulting Architects Engineers to oversee the construction work, it stated. As the main contractor, Shine Square Building Contracting will be delivering Amirah’s signature project on Dubai Islands, within a two-year period. The contract signing takes place within a month of the launch of the Bonds Avenue Residences, reflecting the developer’s commitment to deliver it on time and with the best quality that money can buy, said senior officials at the signing ceremony.

“Today’s ceremony is not just about signing a contract; it is a celebration of shared values and a unified vision for what urban living in Dubai can and should be,” remarked Muhammad Yousuf Jafrani, Founder and Chairman of Amirah Developments after signing the deal with Chirag Pati Gupta, the Managing Director of Shine Square Building Contracting.

The agreement was inked in the presence of senior executives, project managers, consultants and key stakeholders.

“This new partnership with Shine Square and Al Gafry builds on that legacy. It is a proud moment for everyone at Amirah Developments, and a promise to our clients that we will continue to set new benchmarks for quality and timely delivery,” stated Jafrani.

In line with its vision to deliver projects that stand the test of time, Amirah Developments has laid out a comprehensive construction and delivery timeline for the new community.

Enabling works will commence immediately following today’s signing, with full-scale construction planned for later this year. The project is on track for completion by the first quarter of 2027, it stated.

With Bonds Avenue Residences units being sold and the transaction level expected to jump in the second quarter, Amirah Developments is well-positioned to meet the city’s evolving demand for thoughtfully planned, high-quality living spaces.

In addition to superior build quality, the project will offer flexible investor-friendly payment plans, echoing the successful financial models that supported Bonds Avenue Residence’s market reception., said the Emirati developer.

This approach aligns with Amirah’s philosophy of creating accessible luxury that balances aspirational living with sound investment value, it added.

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), in collaboration with Emaar Properties, has announced the expansion of Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Metro Station to accommodate growing passenger demand, particularly during New Year’s Eve, public holidays, and national events and holidays. The project expands the station’s area from 6,700 to 8,500 square meters, increasing its hourly capacity from 7,250 to 12,320 passengers, registering 65% rise. Once complete, the station will serve up to 220,000 passengers per day.

Mattar Al Tayer, Director General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority said: “The Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Metro Station is a key hub in the Dubai Metro network, thanks to its strategic location near Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, and Dubai Downtown. It serves as a convenient and efficient gateway for residents and visitors, particularly during large-scale events and holidays, particularly New Year’s Eve, Eids, national events and public holidays.”

“This expansion project responds to sustained and rising demand for metro services, with projections extending to 2040. Passenger numbers during New Year’s Eve exceed 110,000, and the station has recorded an average annual rider-ship growth of 7.5% over the past five years,” he stated.

Al Tayer added: “Since its opening in early 2010, Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Metro Station has experienced consistent growth in usage. Passenger numbers rose from 6.13 million in 2013 to 7.254 million in 2016, reaching 7.885 million in 2019, averaging 43,000 boarding and alighting daily.”

“In 2022, the figure climbed to 8.827 million, surpassed 10.202 million in 2023 (56,000 daily average), and exceeded 10.577 million in 2024, with nearly 58,000 daily boarding and alighting,” he revealed.

He explained that, in addition to the planned expansion of the station’s area from 6,700 to 8,500 square meters, the project included provisions for enhancing entrances and pedestrian bridges to facilitate access, expanding concourse and platform areas, installing additional escalators and elevators, and separating entry and exit gates to optimize passenger movement. It also included increasing the number of fare gates and expanding commercial spaces to boost revenue. Further elements included integration with public transport and other mobility modes, along with landscaping enhancements.

The architectural design of Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Metro Station follows the same concept applied to elevated stations on the Red and Green Lines of Dubai Metro. Inspired by the shape of a seashell, the station maintains an interior design philosophy that prioritizes safety, security, and ease of movement.

It emphasizes clarity and simplicity while reducing walking distances wherever possible. The internal layout preserves visual connectivity, and ground-level entrances are seamlessly integrated with public transport and alternative mobility options such as bicycles and e-scooters. The station also offers direct pedestrian access and smooth integration with the surrounding urban environment.

It is designed to be fully inclusive, considering the needs of People of Determination, senior citizens, residents, and parents with strollers.

Aldar today announced it has generated over AED3.5 billion in sales at Fahid Beach Residences and The Beach House, the island’s first residential developments released during launch week.

The Fahid Island homes attracted a diverse pool of buyers, drawn by the island’s position as Abu Dhabi’s first coastal wellness destination, the waterfront lifestyle, and proximity to super-premium education at Kings College School Wimbledon which sits within the wider wellness inspired masterplan.

Expatriate residents and overseas buyers account for 67% of total sales, with buyers from the UAE, Russia, the UK, and China making up the top nationalities by sales volume. This strong local and international interest underscores Fahid Island’s emerging global profile as a premier lifestyle destination where wellness meets culture, nature, and community.

42% of buyers are under the age of 45, signalling growing demand for luxury wellness-focused living among younger demographics. Notably, 67% of buyers are first-time Aldar customers, demonstrating Aldar’s expansive reach and the appeal of the Group’s thoughtfully curated destinations.

Jonathan Emery, Chief Executive Officer at Aldar Development, said, “The highly anticipated launch of Fahid Island has resulted in the first homes released generating more than AED3.5 billion – and serves as a powerful validation of our vision to place wellness at the heart of community living. The success reflects Abu Dhabi’s position as one of the world’s most desirable investment and lifestyle destinations and we are expecting continued interest in Fahid Island as Abu Dhabi’s first wellness island builds its profile on the global stage.”

In response to the overwhelming demand for Fahid Beach Residences, Aldar accelerated the launch of Fahid Island’s second residential offering, The Beach House during launch week and sales progress continues at pace. Comprised of 11 elegantly designed towers offering a collection of studios to 3-bedroom + maid apartments, the new development draws on its coastal surroundings and is thoughtfully crafted to evoke a sense of calm, lightness, and relaxed sophistication.

Residents benefit from exquisite interiors and breathtaking views of the sea and Abu Dhabi skyline, as well as a state-of-the-art amenities and facilities, direct shoreline access, and seamless connectivity to Coral Drive, the island’s boutique retail boulevard.

The project is a full transformation of the former Nuran Hotel & Apartments — a prominent site in Dubai Marina now being reimagined into a residential sanctuary. With prime land in premium established areas becoming increasingly scarce, this infill development presents a rare opportunity for buyers to own in a location that has become impossible to replicate.

RAK Properties, Ras Al Khaimah’s leading publicly listed property developer, today announced the launch of Solera, a vibrant new apartment community set to define the new downtown rhythm of its flagship waterfront destination, Mina.

Solera residents will also benefit from an inspirational sculptural garden, a telescope corner for unmatched daytime and nighttime vistas, a relaxing hammock garden, a skateboard park, and a state-of-the-art gym. In addition, specifically catering to the needs of today’s increasingly mobile workforce, The NOOK, a dedicated social lounge and co-working space, will offer an ideal environment for entrepreneurs and professionals to connect, share ideas, and grow their businesses.

Sameh Muhtadi, Chief Executive Officer of RAK Properties, commented: “We are proud to launch Solera, the first chapter in the Downtown Mina story. With Solera, we are adding diversity to our product mix and creating new neighborhoods that add to Mina’s overall character. As we continue to pursue the luxury segment elsewhere in our portfolio, Solera and Downtown Mina bring a whole new vibe to Ras Al Khaimah. Younger, edgier, and designed to appeal to work-from-anywhere professionals and entrepreneurs, Solera will contribute to the changing narrative around the Emirate as more and more investors see its real estate market appeal.

Muhtadi continued: “As we reach the midpoint of our twentieth anniversary year, RAK Properties is making good progress with its 2025 product launch pipeline, a period in which we have launched Mirasol, SKAI, Anantara Mina Ras Al Khaimah Residences, and ENTA in partnership with Hive and A.R.M Holding. This is also a year in which we are focusing on delivery – with over 3,000 homes under construction, we are targeting the handover of more than 800 to customers this year. As attention continues to focus on the future opening of the Wynn Resort, we are well placed to deliver more homes in RAK before Q1 2027 than any other developer operating in the Emirate. This will ensure that investors see immediate gains from the introduction of this major resort.”

Sales for Solera commence from 10am on Saturday, 21st June, at the Mandarin Oriental Jumeirah, Dubai.

Oman has invited bids for a landmark mountain resort in Jabal Al-Akhdar, the country’s highest summit, at a cost of around 1.2 billion Omani rials ($3 billion).

The Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning has invited qualified international consultancy firms to bid for the master planning and detailed engineering design of the project, newspapers in the Gulf sultanate reported at the weekend.

Known as the Al Jabal Al Aali project, or the Omani Mountain Destination, the development is envisioned as a mixed-use residential, hospitality, and wellness district spanning an 11.8 square kilometers site atop Al Jabal Al Akhdar in Al Dakhiliya Governorate.

Part of a prestigious portfolio of sustainable cities promoted by the Ministry, Al Jabal Al Aali will feature more than 2,500 homes, 2,000 hotel rooms, a health and wellness hub, as well as biodiversity and sports facilities.

In addition to the overall master plan, the selected consultant will be responsible for the comprehensive infrastructure design, including planning, architecture, engineering, and tender preparation and award for major infrastructure and building components.

A key highlight of the development is the Western Wellness Village, an integrated health and ecotourism cluster featuring approximately 500 residential and hotel units backed by RO200 million ($520 million) in investments.

Spanning 630,000 square meters (sqm), the village will underscore the project’s appeal as a premier wellness destination. Al Jabal Al Aali is expected to host a population of around 10,000 residents.

The project forms part of Oman’s broader urban development vision, which aims to attract billions of Omani rials in investment over the next decade across a suite of integrated tourism and residential projects.

Submission of bids for the Al Jabal Al Aali tender close on 10 July 2025, the report said.

Madinet Masr inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Waheej for Real Estate to explore creating a joint real estate development company in Saudi Arabia, according to a press release.

The deal aligns with Madinet Masr’s goals to strengthen its footprint in the Saudi real estate market, expand regionally, and explore new investment opportunities.

Madinet Mast will team up with Waheej, a licensed Saudi real estate developer, to exchange technical and financial expertise to establish residential, commercial, and administrative projects in the Kingdom.

This initiative comes within the framework of Saudi Vision 2030, supporting homeownership opportunities and enhancing quality of life for both citizens and residents.

Abdallah Sallam, President and CEO of Madinet Masr, said: “This partnership marks an important milestone in our expansion strategy across regional markets-particularly in Saudi Arabia, which is witnessing remarkable urban and economic growth.”

On his part, Rashid Saud Al-Jadoua, CEO of Waheej for Real Estate, commented: “Through this collaboration, we aim to exchange knowledge and deliver impactful projects that support the housing sector and contribute to the Kingdom’s broader development objectives.”

In a landmark move that reinforces Dubai’s leadership in the real estate sector, Dubai Land Department announced that its second tokenized project on the ‘PRYPCO Mint’ platform was fully funded in a record-breaking one minute and 58 seconds, attracting 149 investors from 35 nationalities.

This unprecedented demand pushed the waiting list to over 10,700 investors, reflecting rising confidence and strong interest in digital real estate ownership solutions across the emirate.

This ongoing success underscores the effectiveness of the platform, which is officially accredited under Dubai Land Department’s Property Tokenization Initiative. By enabling investors to purchase shares in ready properties through seamless and cost-effective mechanisms, PRYPCO Mint is setting new standards for market accessibility. 

As the platform expands its projects and partnerships, it is helping to shape a future where tokenized assets are expected to become a central part of Dubai’s property market by 2033.

Amid this momentum, Dubai Land Department invites interested individuals to register early and set up their accounts to take advantage of upcoming offerings before they sell out, unlocking investment opportunities in one of the world’s most dynamic and innovative real estate destinations.

Unique Properties, one of the UAE’s most prominent real estate agencies, has announced a landmark joint venture with AIR (AI Realtor), an AI-native proptech innovator. As part of the agreement, Unique Properties will invest USD 20 million into AIR over the next two years to fuel the development and deployment of next-generation technologies in the real estate space.

The partnership marks a bold leap forward for the region’s property sector, blending years of market leadership with cutting-edge artificial intelligence to reshape how real estate is bought, sold, and experienced.

A Market Ready for Innovation

This strategic alliance comes as the UAE cements its position as a global leader in real estate innovation. Progressive government policies and a world-class digital ecosystem have created ideal conditions for meaningful disruption, particularly in the brokerage space.

Where many global markets are still grappling with outdated infrastructure and data silos, the UAE has taken decisive steps to unlock the full potential of digital transformation. The deregulation of the brokerage sector has ushered in a more competitive landscape; full public access to real estate data has empowered both professionals and consumers; and, most notably, the government has succeeded in fully digitizing the property transaction process, from initial search to final ownership transfer.

Against this backdrop, the partnership between Unique Properties and AIR could not be timelier.

Where Human Expertise Meets AI Intelligence

Rather than replacing real estate agents, AIR’s proprietary technology is designed to enhance them. By providing real-time insights, predictive analytics, and intelligent automation, the platform enables agents to perform at a higher level, closing more deals, managing their time more effectively, and offering their clients a superior, data-led service. In turn, clients benefit from a more transparent, trusted, and personalized property journey.

Unique Properties brings to the table a scale of operations, depth of market understanding, and a longstanding reputation that few others can rival. AIR, on the other hand, introduces an entirely new paradigm, where human expertise is augmented by artificial intelligence to elevate every aspect of the transaction.

Speaking about the joint venture, Arash Jalili, CEO of Unique Properties, said: “We’ve always been at the forefront of the UAE real estate market, driven by a commitment to excellence and innovation. This joint venture marks the beginning of a new era, where technology and human insight come together to elevate the property experience. Partnering with AIR allows us to stay ahead of the curve, setting new benchmarks for how real estate is transacted, advised, and experienced in this region.”

Milad Monshipour, Founder & CEO of AIR, added: “This is the first time the world will see a fully AI-native real estate platform developed in partnership with one of the most established brokerages in the region. It’s an innovation born in the UAE, but its impact will be felt far beyond it.”

Together, Unique Properties and AIR are set to usher in a new era for real estate in the UAE, one where technology doesn’t just support the industry, it propels it forward.

The Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation (MoHRE) has renewed its call to private sector companies employing 50 or more workers to expedite meeting their Emiratisation targets for the first half of 2025 before the end of June. This is to avoid financial contributions that will be imposed in July on companies that fail to meet the required targets.

The targets include achieving a 1% growth in the number of Emiratis employed in skilled positions relative to the total skilled workforce at the company, while maintaining previous Emiratisation rates.

MoHRE has urged Emirati citizens to report any violations and negative practices that contradict the country’s Emiratization policies by contacting the call center on 600590000 or through the Ministry’s smart app and official website.

It reaffirmed its confidence in both private sector companies and job-seeking nationals’ awareness of the strategic and national benefits, as well as the positive impact of Emiratization on enhancing the competitiveness of the country’s work environment and supporting its economic growth.

The Ministry also underlined its ongoing support for compliant companies through the benefits provided by the Nafis program, and the additional advantages it offers to companies achieving exceptional Emiratisation by granting them membership in the Tawteen Partners Club, which entitles them to financial discounts of up to 80% on the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization’s service fees, and prioritizing them in the government procurement system, thereby boosting their business growth opportunities.

MoHRE highlighted the significant support provided by the Nafis platform in facilitating companies to fulfil their obligations, adding that the platform has a rich pool of qualified Emirati talents. It praised the private sector’s engagement with Emiratisation policies and the companies’ commitment to meeting the required targets, which has positively reflected on the national mandate, achieving unprecedented results.

By the end of May, over 141,000 Emiratis were employed across 28,000 private sector companies.

Dubai’s branded residences market has experienced remarkable growth in recent years, solidifying the city’s position as a global leader in the luxury real estate segment. In H1 2024, Dubai recorded 5,592 branded residence sales, with a total transaction value of AED 28.8 billion, accounting for 7.2% of all property transactions by volume and 12.6% by value.

Demand continues to grow, driven by global investors and high-net-worth individuals seeking prestige, service, and lifestyle in a secure and future-focused destination. According to Morgan’s International Realty’s second half 2024 report, buyers are also paying a premium of up to 42% per square foot for branded residences, underlining the strength and desirability of this sector.

With aligned values and complementary expertise, QUBE Development and The Lux Collective are pioneering a new era in branded residences, designed not only to impress and express but to elevate. Together, they offer residents an experience that transcends expectation and invites them into a lifestyle that goes beyond the imaginable.
