Investment
The Private Office of H.H. Sheikh AbdulHakim Al Maktoum Group Holdings has signed a memorandum of understanding with Attollo Capital Group to promote investment into the UAE, with an initial focus on the real estate sector.

The expansion of Al Maktoum International is moving from groundwork to structure, with the first phase scheduled to open in 2032.

Emaar is preparing to unveil one of the largest single developments in its history, a AED 200 billion masterplan built across more than four and a half million square metres and designed for close to 150,000 residents. The scale and the design philosophy together signal where Dubai's next phase of urban growth is heading.
