“This strategic government support signals a vote of confidence in our vision and paves the way for the acquisition of new landbanks, essential for our expansion and fuelling future developments in Ras Al Khaimah.”

“We witnessed a significant sales value in 2023, and with the successful launch of these luxury branded lifestyle residential and hospitality projects, we have now started construction, setting the stage for a ramp-up in revenue over the next few quarters. Our strategic initiatives, including new partnerships, have positioned us to further enhance our operational excellence and affirming our standing as a leader in the industry.”
