Real Estate &Market Insights ANAX Developments is preparing to unveil three pioneering projects in Dubai Islands, Meydan, andAl Warsan. What unique features will these developments offer? Our earlier developments set the tone; they introduced the standards we hold ourselves to. With the upcoming projects in Dubai Islands, Meydan and Al Warsan, we are taking that vision even further. Each project undergoes thorough planning before it is launched in the market, ensuring that it meets our benchmarks for quality, efficiency, and long-term value. At ANAX, we never compromise on the lifestyle our clients expect and deserve. With these new launches, buyers can expect high construction standards, timely delivery, and, above all, smart investments in areas with strong future potential. You’ve acquired significant properties during the pandemic when prices were reduced. What indicators gave you confidence to invest during such uncertain times? Patterns tell stories. When I saw luxury properties in prime locations becoming undervalued, I did not see risk—I saw a window of opportunity. I paid close attention to capital flight, infrastructure investments, and how high-net-worth individuals were moving. I focused on the fundamentals beneath the uncertainty, and they were stronger than they appeared. Dubai’s real estate market has shown remarkable resilience. Which segments do you believe offer the strongest long-term potential? Dubai’s real estate story is no longer just about momentum—it is about maturity. What I see gaining the most traction is thoughtful luxury. Buyers today are seeking lasting value— developments that reflect credibility, strong design, and long-term relevance. Projects tied to branded experiences or anchored by location-driven scarcity—like select plots with marina access or proximity to cultural landmarks—hold lasting demand. We are building not for market cycles, but for a decade from now. That is where the real strength lies. Your under-construction mansion in Dubai Hills has appreciated to approximately $100 million. What insights from luxury residential development have you applied to ANAX Developments’ projects? The biggest insight is this: size alone does not equal value— identity does. The mansion taught me the importance of timeless design, smart layout, and emotionally resonant architecture. We carry that into every project. Buyers today do not just want square footage—they want something that feels lasting and personal. That is what we are building. Simply Abu Dhabi | 171
