“Coupled with our AED 5 billion pipeline and a strong recurring revenue portfolio, we remain committed to shaping the future of the emirate with visionary projects that attract investors, enhance communities, and reinforce Ras Al Khaimah’s position as a premier real estate destination.”

Sameh Muhtadi, CEO of RAK Properties, commented: “2024, following an exceptional 2023, was a year of strategic preparation, positioning us for significant transformational expansion in 2025. Last year, we focused on strengthening our development pipeline, diversifying our offerings, and establishing key partnerships – such as our collaboration with Four Seasons.

“Looking to 2025, the rapid sell-out of Mirasol’s first phase — our first project launched in Mina in 2025 — demonstrates the strong demand for our developments and the confidence placed in our vision.

“We remain committed to being ahead of the game with swift construction and precise project delivery, leveraging our core strengths to set new benchmarks in quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. The Mina masterplan is a prime example of this commitment.
