HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed said that the Government of Dubai places a high priority on the
happiness and well-being of its citizens. This commitment reflects the vision and directives of HH
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to launch diverse programmes and initiatives aimed at
addressing citizens’ aspirations in terms of work, life, well-being, and housing. These initiatives are
designed to foster family and social stability, playing a crucial role in advancing the country’s
developmental journey, His Highness said.

His Highness’s remarks came during his visit to the Center, where he was welcomed by His
Excellency Mattar Al Tayer, Dubai’s Commissioner General for the Infrastructure, Urban Planning,
and Wellbeing Pillar and Chairman of the Supreme Committee of Urban Planning in Dubai; His
Excellency Sultan Butti bin Mejren, Director General of Dubai Land Department; and His Excellency
Omar Hamad Abdullah Hamad Bu Shehab, CEO of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Housing
Establishment.

“As part of the Dubai Social Agenda 33, launched by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid and centred
around the theme of ‘Family: The Foundation of Our Nation,’ we have established the Dubai
Integrated Housing Center. Designed to offer UAE citizens a streamlined and hassle-free home-
building experience, the Center will offer 54 services, bringing together resources from four
government entities and two private sector partners, all under one roof,” His Highness said.

He added that the Center will provide comprehensive support, including consultancy for design
selection, guidance on cost-saving measures and assistance with financing through banks. The goal
is to create a comfortable environment with convenient access, ensuring a seamless, easy and
efficient home-building experience for citizens.

“Constructing a family home can be a challenging experience for many young individuals,
demanding specific expertise and financial and legal awareness. Our aim is to transform this
experience for citizens. The Center is set to commence its operations and deliver services starting
next month,” Sheikh Hamdan said.

“We will continue to launch new projects in the next phase, reflecting our commitment to fostering
stable families and ensuring the highest quality of life for them,” he added.

The Center aims to achieve the primary objective of the Dubai Social Agenda 33, aiming to position
Dubai as a global benchmark for housing services. The initiative aligns with one of the agenda’s
specific targets, ensuring the provision of land and a residential loan to every new Emirati family
within a year of application.

The Dubai Integrated Housing Center will provide comprehensive housing services, encompassing
personalised design and budget planning tailored to family size, assistance in selecting interior
design and colour schemes, consultation on construction and financial planning and the estimation
of project costs.

Additionally, the centre addresses the diverse needs of citizens, with a specific focus on housing,
construction and land services, including the selection and allocation of residential lands.

During a tour of the Dubai Integrated Housing Center, His Highness visited the construction
exhibition hosted by Sobha Realty, which showcases elements of design for citizens seeking to
construct their houses.
