Red Sea Global (RSG) has announced it has accomplished several milestones in sustainable design and operations. Multiple assets under RSG’s umbrella have earned LEED certifications, showcasing the developer’s commitment to environmental responsibility, said a statement.

Among these achievements, Red Sea International Airport (RSI) stands out as the first airport in Saudi Arabia and the fifth globally to receive LEED Platinum certification. This recognition is said to underscore RSI’s dedication to sustainable practices and its role as a model for airport design.

Turtle Bay International School (TBIS) made history as well by becoming the first school in the world to achieve LEED Platinum certification under the LEED v4 Building Design and Construction (BD+C), Schools rating system. TBIS’s performance demonstrates its commitment to creating a sustainable learning environment, RSG said.

In addition to these accomplishments, RSG’s Central Distribution Center (CDC) has earned LEED Gold certification, solidifying its position as one of the most sustainable warehouse facilities in the region. This achievement is said to highlight RSG’s expertise in designing and implementing environmentally friendly warehouse solutions. Furthermore, AMAALA Triple Bay and the Staff Village masterplans have achieved LEED Platinum for Communities certification, securing RSG’s reputation for creating sustainable and inclusive communities. These masterplans exemplify RSG’s commitment to designing spaces that prioritise environmental sustainability and community well-being, it added.

“These certifications are more than technical milestones. They’re proof that sustainability is embedded in everything we do. From 100% renewable energy generation and advanced water reuse systems to low-carbon mobility solutions, we integrate sustainability and regeneration into every aspect of our operations. Each certified asset demonstrates our commitment to creating positive impact, environmentally, socially, and economically,” said Raed Albasseet, Group Chief Environment and Sustainability Officer at RSG.

RSI has also been awarded LEED Platinum certification by the Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI). This milestone establishes RSI as the first airport in Saudi Arabia and among only 5 airports globally to receive this distinction. The certification recognises RSI’s sustainability framework, which integrates 100% renewable energy operations, advanced energy efficiency systems, and the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) for seaplane flights. It marks the culmination of several years of cross-functional collaboration, reflecting RSG’s comprehensive approach to developing infrastructure that delivers lasting environmental, social, and economic value.

TBIS has also been awarded LEED Platinum certification, achieving 92 points — the highest score ever recorded under the LEED v4 BD+C: Schools rating system. Globally, only 15 schools have achieved this level of certification. TBIS now stands as the first school in Saudi Arabia to do so, setting a new benchmark for sustainable education, architectural design, and regenerative learning environments, the statement noted.

One of the region’s most sustainable warehouse facilities, RSG’s CDC also achieved LEED Gold certification with 73 points, positioning it among the most sustainable warehouse facilities in the Middle East. From intelligent energy management and material optimisation to resource-efficient operations, this 55,000m2 facility is said to reflect RSG’s drive to redefine industrial design through environmental innovation and smart logistics.

LEED for Communities (Plan and Design) is a globally recognised framework for sustainable urban planning and large-scale development. It addresses not only environmental performance, but also equity, economic development, resilience, governance, and quality of life. RSG has said that AMAALA has become the 45th project globally to achieve the certification and joins an exclusive club of just 16 projects that have achieved Platinum, including The Red Sea Phase One. Marking AMAALA’s first LEED certification, it sets a solid foundation for positioning AMAALA as a global benchmark for responsible development.

The Red Sea destination, a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, now counts 9 luxury hotels that are open and welcoming guests. Last year Shura Island, the heart of The Red Sea, began opening the first of its 11 resorts. RSG recently announced the upcoming opening of AMAALA, its ultra-luxury, wellness destination.

Both destinations are committed to going beyond sustainability, aiming for a 30% net conservation benefit to local ecosystems by 2040 through enhancing biologically diverse habitats. The destinations have been carefully designed to accommodate up to 1.5m visitors annually to preserve the pristine environment. Both destinations are being powered by 100% renewable energy, eliminating up to 1m tCO2eq annually, the equivalent of removing 2m cars from the road for one year.

The Dubai Environment and Climate Change Authority (DECCA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Domus Group, an events and conferences specialist in aviation solutions and drone technologies.

The primary objective of the MoU is to foster knowledge exchange and encourage both local and international companies to introduce aviation systems that contribute to environmental sustainability. DECCA will be better equipped to meet Dubai’s environmental requirements.

The MoU aligns with DECCA’s strategic priorities, which encompass advancing environmental research and innovation efforts. It also aims to integrate advanced technologies into evidence-based decision-making processes for environmental protection and climate action, by adopting and customising the latest global technologies.

“Technology is now one of the most important enablers of environmental action,” said Ahmed Mohammed bin Thani, Director General of DECCA. “Whether in conserving terrestrial and marine biodiversity, providing Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) systems, or supporting food security and sustainable agriculture, drone technologies can play a key role in enhancing our environmental work.”

“Dubai has long been a pioneer in adopting advanced technologies across sectors, while the Unmanned Aircrafts Law offers clear operational framework. Today, as we set environmental policies and plans, drone solutions are a key enabler of realising our environmental vision. By surveying the latest global solutions, we can develop local solutions to suit our environment,” he added.

Maysoon Abu Alhoul, Managing Director of Domus Group said, “As a home-grown group founded in Dubai and expanded across the world, we are committed to harnessing world-class technologies that reinforce Dubai’s international leadership in tech adoption. With the emirate’s strong commitment to environmental action, we are confident the drone sector will open new opportunities to support environmental protection in Dubai.”

Drone technologies have proven effective in environmental protection. They provide high-precision surveys and environmental mapping of various habitats, including mangroves, seagrass, coastal areas, desert, and mountain reserves. This data ultimately informs restoration initiatives, the statement said.

Drones also generate valuable data for plume tracking, air-quality analysis, and carbon sink assessment in mangroves. Additionally, they assist in precise shoreline mapping and marine sampling. Drone technologies can also enhance monitoring and enforcement efforts by supporting surveillance and detection of environmental violations and unauthorised fishing, the statement concluded.

KEZAD Group has announced the launch of Metal Park, the world’s first pay-as-you-grow metals ecosystem.  The launch took place in Abu Dhabi, in the presence of H.E. Dr Sultan Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, and Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, MD and Group CEO of AD Ports Group.

The event was also attended by Abdullah Al Hameli, CEO of Economic Cities and Free Zones, AD Ports Group, Saeed Ghumran Al Remeithi, Group CEO of Emirates Steel, and senior KEZAD Group and government officials.

The 450,000sqm Metal Park, set up by the company with an investment of US $117mn, introduces a new industrial operating model designed to transform how downstream metals businesses access infrastructure, logistics, and specialist services, which replace the traditional capital-heavy and fragmented industrial setup with a fully integrated, scalable ecosystem. The model allows metals companies to grow in line with demand, while avoiding large upfront investment, improving capital efficiency, speed-to-market, and operational predictability.

Unlike conventional industrial parks, Metal Park, which operates both in the free zone and the mainland, is now live and fully operational. Its Production Hub, Storage Hub, and Business Centres are already active, enabling metal to be processed on site by its 27 members. The ecosystem provides shared specialist capabilities, secure high-throughput storage, and integrated commercial and operational support, forming a functioning industrial system, said a statement.

Integrated logistics infrastructure, enabled through KEZAD Group and AD Ports Group, ensures seamless connectivity from production to storage and outbound movement. This integrated setup reduces friction across the value chain and improves throughput, reliability, and speed-to-market for manufacturers operating within the ecosystem.

Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, MD and Group CEO of AD Ports Group said, “Metal Park represents a new chapter in industrial development at KEZAD. By enabling a pay-as-you-grow model, we are lowering barriers to entry, improving capital efficiency, and providing manufacturers with an industry-specific environment where infrastructure, logistics, and services work together from day one. This approach strengthens Abu Dhabi’s position as a competitive destination for advanced industrial investments, in line with the vision of our wise leadership in the UAE.”

Vahid Fouladkar, CEO of Metal Park added, “This is not about building another industrial zone. It is about creating an operating model where metals businesses can scale intelligently, supported by shared infrastructure, integrated logistics, and coordinated services that remove complexity from daily operations.”

Metal Park has been engineered around operational excellence, with a strong focus on safety, efficiency, predictability, and sustainability. Processes are designed to reduce manual handling, minimise idle time, and optimise energy use, while shared assets reduce duplication and waste, aligning operational performance with environmental responsibility.

Technology underpins the entire ecosystem, with Metal Park operating as a digitally orchestrated platform that provides real-time visibility, seamless ordering, and coordinated internal logistics for its members.

By enabling advanced manufacturing, strengthening supply chain resilience, and attracting industrial investment through a scalable and efficient model, Metal Park directly supports the continued growth of the downstream metals sector and the broader non-oil economy, the statement added.

With its pay-as-you-grow model now live, Metal Park sends a clear signal to global metals businesses that industrial growth no longer needs to be capital-intensive, fragmented, or slow, and that the future of metals manufacturing is being built in KEZAD Abu Dhabi, it concluded.

Source of Fate has commenced construction on Miraggio, its luxury waterfront development on Al Marjan Island, marking a major milestone for the company and the emirate’s real estate sector.

The start of construction follows the successful completion of key design milestones, including concept design approval and the completion of schematic and preliminary design. The project has already secured 50% of units through off-plan bookings ahead of construction, underscoring robust buyer confidence and sustained demand for premium waterfront living in Ras Al Khaimah.

This higher demand is underpinned by Ras Al Khaimah’s strong real estate performance in 2025. According to recent market data, residential capital values recorded robust growth, with overall prices rising 14.9% YoY. Apartments saw increases of 15.5% YoY, while villa values grew by 13.8%. Al Marjan Island has led this upward trajectory, with its capital values climbing 16.8% year-on-year, reinforcing its position as one of the emirate’s most sought-after waterfront residential destinations.

Commenting on the milestone Dr. Majid Jack Hsiung, General Manager at Source of Fate said, “Reaching 50% off-plan bookings ahead of construction underscores a fundamental shift in buyer expectations. Homeowners and investors today are seeking more than premium finishes. They are seeking environments that support wellbeing, balance, and a meaningful connection with nature. Miraggio was conceived with this philosophy at its core, and as construction commences, our focus is to deliver that vision through uncompromising quality, disciplined timelines, and operational excellence at every stage.”

Reflecting its commitment to excellence, Source of Fate has appointed a consortium of renowned partners to deliver Miraggio to the highest levels of quality, safety, and performance. VX Studio leads as Project Consultant, bringing architectural expertise, while HQS Cost Management Consultant oversees cost planning and financial governance. NEXT Engineering Consultant, with more than three decades of experience, is responsible for ensuring sustainable, efficient, and technically robust construction practices.

Construction of Miraggio will adhere to UAE construction standards and international best practices, including the UAE Fire and Life Safety Code, Energy Efficiency Standards, Accessibility Code, Seismic Design Code, and Environmental Building Standards. Global benchmarks such as IBC, IFC, ASHRAE, NFPA, and ASTM will further guide the project, ensuring the highest levels of safety, sustainability, and innovation, the firm said.

Sustainability is embedded throughout the development, with measures including solar-ready infrastructure, greywater irrigation, and a central water filtration system designed to reduce plastic use by up to 90%, seamlessly integrating responsible living into everyday life.

The project is fully funded, with investments to date supporting key pre-construction and early works. Upcoming milestones include the completion of enabling works, commencement of main construction, and a structured timeline of progressive handovers, the developer concluded.

ZaZEN Properties is aiming to introduce a new residential development in Dubai South. As part of this move, the developer has appointed Vida Bricks as the exclusive sales partner for the project, bringing on board a brokerage aligned with ZaZEN’s positioning and approach to the market.

Dubai South has emerged as a key contributor to Dubai’s real estate momentum in 2025, underpinned by strong transaction activity and long-term infrastructure investment. Residential property transactions in the area exceeded US $4bn in the first 5 months of 2025 alone, reflecting accelerating demand as buyers increasingly prioritise well-connected, future-ready residential communities.

The partnership reflects a strategic alignment between ZaZEN Properties and Vida Bricks, with the brokerage selected to lead the Dubai South launch based on shared approach, audience understanding, and execution style, the developer stated.

Commenting on the launch, Madhav Dhar, COO of ZaZEN Properties said, “Dubai South is increasingly being shaped by real infrastructure delivery rather than future plans alone. Connectivity, employment hubs, and long-term planning are now translating into genuine residential demand. Our upcoming development has been designed for end users who value space, balance, and long-term livability. Vida Bricks understands our communities and buyer profile, which made them the right partner to lead this launch.”

Planned as a low-density residential community, the development will comprise 48 residences within a G+4 building, with lifestyle amenities consolidated at rooftop level. The development has been shaped primarily with end users in mind, rather than positioned purely as an investment-led proposition. The residence mix will include 1- , 2- and 3-bedroom homes, alongside 2- and 3-bedroom layouts with study rooms, offering flexibility for families and long-term residents.

The development has been thoughtfully designed to support family living, with well-proportioned homes, adaptable layouts, and shared spaces that encourage day-to-day comfort, privacy, and a sense of community.

Rooftop amenities will include social and recreational spaces, alongside a dedicated wellness zone featuring sauna and cold plunge facilities, a concept ZaZEN intends to extend across future developments.

Dubai South’s trajectory is closely linked to major infrastructure projects that are expected to drive residential demand well into 2026 and beyond, including the long-term expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport, planned to become one of the world’s largest aviation hubs.

Further strengthening the district’s outlook is the planned Dubai Metro Blue Line, which is expected to enhance connectivity between emerging residential areas and key commercial centres, reinforcing Dubai South’s role as a live-work destination. Across the wider market, Dubai’s real estate sector recorded over $26.4bn in transactions during 2025, highlighting sustained investor confidence and a strong foundation for continued growth into 2026.

Construction is expected to commence in Q2 2026, with completion targeted for November 2027.

Dubai’s real estate market is booming and new data shows that leading developers drove sales across both the luxury and affordable segments throughout 2025, said fam Properties.

Sales above US $4mn and below $550,000 both recorded strong transaction volumes and values last year, representing broad market health to drive sustained investor and end-user confidence.

An analysis by fam Properties shows that Emaar reinforced its market leading position by earning more revenue from sales, delivering more projects and units, and launching more new projects than any other developer.

Data from DXBinteract revealed that Emaar generated sales worth $18bn, followed by DAMAC Properties with $10bn and Binghatti with $7bn. Also ending the year with the largest number of homes under construction, 51,032, Emaar delivered 27 projects and 7,318 units in 2025, and launched 54 projects.

A record-breaking year for Dubai real estate was also a memorable one for Binghatti, which climbed 4 places in the rankings to become the city’s top developer by overall sales volume, completing 17,061 deals ahead of DAMAC with 15,393 and Emaar with 13,149, the analysis said.

Nakheel topped the high-end sector for properties above $4mn, with sales worth $4.6bn from 672 luxury transactions. Emaar followed with $4.28bn from 680 transactions and Meraas with $2.6bn from 289 transactions.

In the affordable segment, for properties below $550,000, Binghatti led the way again with sales of $4.4bn from 14,627 transactions, followed by DAMAC and Sobha at $2.3bn from 6,828 and 5,887 transactions respectively.

Firas Al Msaddi, CEO of fam Properties commented, “The fact that both the luxury and affordable sectors are delivering robust values shows that demand is not concentrated in one area. This points to a healthy, diversified market with steady demand from both investors and end-users.”

Developer Ohana Development has announced the commencement of delivery at Ohana by the Sea, its US $190.6mn luxury fully customised villa community located in Al Jurf, along the Abu Dhabi – Dubai coastline.

Spanning 340sqm to 1,000sqm, the development comprises 75 exclusive villas ranging from 4- to 7-bedrooms, and featuring contemporary architecture, spacious layouts, and a strong connection to its coastal surroundings, offering residents a refined beachfront lifestyle. The project remains on track for completion by Q1 2026, the firm said.

Rashed Ali Al Omaira, Director General, Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre at the Department of Municipalities and Transport, recently visited the project and was received by Husein Salem, CEO, and Mustafa El Sammak, COO of Ohana Development, alongside senior executives from the company. The visit focused on reviewing construction progress, with the delegation briefed on key project milestones and delivery timelines.

Situated in Al Jurf, an area said to be known for its natural landscapes, turquoise waters, and a protected reserve home to gazelles, native trees, and the occasional flamingo sighting along the shoreline, the development also holds strong heritage value. It is located near the historic palace of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, further reinforcing the destination’s cultural and historical significance.

Salem said, “We were pleased to welcome His Excellency Rashed Ali Al Omaira and the accompanying delegation to Ohana by the Sea. The project reflects our commitment to creating thoughtfully planned communities that respect their surroundings, while delivering long-term value. At Ohana, our developments are closely aligned with ‘Plan Abu Dhabi 2030’, which prioritises sustainable growth, quality of life, and the preservation of culturally and environmentally significant locations.”

“Commencing delivery is a key step as we move towards completing a development that we believe will become a lasting residential destination in Al Jurf, which embodies luxury, exclusivity and long-term investment value,” Husein added.
