reach USD 143.22 billion in 2025, growing at a CAGR of 8.66 per cent to USD 217.09 billion by 2030. As authorities prioritise walkable, green, and smart
communities, developers who incorporate sustainable materials, energy efficiency, and digital infrastructure are future-proofing assets and meeting the
ESG objectives that institutional investors desire.
#RAKIS: With a legacy of landmark projects like Motor City, Index Tower, and Uptown Mirdif, how does Union Properties leverage its planning
expertise to remain competitive in an increasingly diversified real estate market?
Eng. Amer Khansaheb: Our decades of expertise in community development, infrastructure integration, and master planning have allowed us to build
notable developments in the United Arab Emirates. Our planning process has always focused on developing communities that both residents and
investors seek. Over the years, we have discovered that building communities that align with the changing goals of both residents and investors is of
greater significance than following every trend in a diversified Real Estate market. Projects like Motor City, Index Tower, and Uptown Mirdif, for example,
showed us what it takes to seamlessly combine residential, commercial, and recreational elements to make certain that each project offers both long-
term investment value and lifestyle appeal. Today, we incorporate this knowledge into new mixed-use developments such as our Takaya development in
Dubai Motor City, which combines smart building technologies, sustainable design, and a broad range of housing options to create vibrant, self-sufficient
ecosystems. That is where our emphasis on 'affordable luxury' comes into play, reaffirming our goal to deliver high-quality, well-designed homes that are
accessible, appealing, and offer lasting value. To make sure they stay resilient and relevant in a changing market, we thereby approach every new
project with a long-term perspective, incorporating mixed-use components, green areas, and lifestyle amenities.
#RAKIS: Ras Al Khaimah is experiencing a period of infrastructure expansion and investment diversification. From your perspective, what role
could seasoned developers like Union Properties play in shaping the Emirate’s real estate and urban development landscape?
Eng. Amer Khansaheb: For seasoned developers, Ras Al Khaimah's current phase of infrastructure expansion and investment diversification offers an
exciting opportunity to add significant value to the Emirate's growth narrative. Given our past success in master planning and building expansive, mixed-
use communities, Union Properties is in a strong position to contribute towards the development of urban environments that strike a balance between
quality of life and economic prospects.
#RAKIS: How valuable are platforms like the Ras Al Khaimah Investment and Business Summit in fostering collaborations, attracting cross-
sector investments, and positioning the Emirate as a competitive destination for large-scale real estate projects?
Eng. Amer Khansaheb: Events of this nature foster an environment that encourages cross-sector investments, whether they are related to residential,
commercial, hospitality, or tourism projects. They give stakeholders the chance to discuss ideas, look into collaborations, and spot opportunities that
might otherwise get overlooked. By bringing together government officials, investors, developers, and industry professionals under one roof, they act as
an essential hub for collaboration. For developers like us, these forums provide unique perspectives on emerging industries, investor expectations, and
market trends. It further solidifies Ras Al Khaimah's standing as a competitive location for major Real Estate projects by highlighting the Emirate's
advantageous location, growing infrastructure, and business-friendly regulations.
