Today, Dubai has seen real estate transactions that are higher than London, New York, Paris, and Hong Kong, combined. This is a huge statement for us, and as market leader in Holland, not being here in Dubai, and not participating in this event, is like missing out on the most important event in real estate history.”

What we apply here is also a very personal approach to all our products, if we don’t like it, we cannot sell it; we follow an easy and simple approach – if we don’t wanna live in it, why do we think and one would.” He shared.
Addressing Hurdles
Challenges are a part of every journey. We asked, “Can you share an instance where you had to pivot your business strategy to address new challenges?”
Hamzah shared, “Adapting to the pandemic, we shifted towards more flexible, sustainable, and tech-integrated living spaces to address changing consumer needs and market conditions.
The pandemic also taught us that life works and markets will go on. Working from home has become the new norm, so workspaces and communal areas, not only are they not luxury anymore, but mental health or our residents must work in open spaces. Now you can see everyone on their Laptops in green areas, parks, and cafes. So we integrate that principle within all our projects.”
