CW Property Middle East’s Post

The change of seasons is a reminder that change is all around us. Every new season teaches us the value of embracing what is and letting go of what used to be. So, as we step into November, I couldn’t help but feel proud of the diverse perspectives we’ve brought together in this month’s issue. Our cover story tackles something I’ve always been passionate about—the intersection of art and real estate. Having visited countless luxury properties over the years, I’ve seen first-hand how thoughtfully chosen artwork can transform a space from impressive to extraordinary. So, we broke down how art not only elevates spaces but also is capable of increasing the value of property. Speaking of transformations, we interviewed Brian Johnson, whose architectural vision at Godwin Austen Johnson has helped shape our skylines. His insights on current market trends are particularly enlightening, especially when paired with Tariq Khayyat’s compelling piece on preserving UAE’s architectural heritage—a topic close to my heart. A highlight at Dubai Design Week 2024, which kick-starts tomorrow would be Casa Milano’s return to the fair with their second edition of the ultimate bathroom showcase—Talking Walls. Hence, we spoke exclusively to Mohammed Azhar Sajan, Founder, Casa Milano about how they are pushing the boundaries of creativity and innovation in bathroom design. For our market watchers, we’ve got an in-depth analysis of Qatar’s real estate landscape (thanks to fresh data from Knight Frank), plus a fascinating look at how Dubai’s Real Estate Strategy 2033 is set to reshape our sector. In our proptech coverage this month, we feature VeriEstate a promising Dubai-based start-up that’s revolutionising property inspections. Their approach to technology integration is exactly what our market needs. On the sustainability front, we’ve broken down the UAE’s top green building certification systems, essential reading for anyone serious about future-proofing their investments. And there is so much more inside, from OMNIYAT’s groundbreaking partnership with Dorchester Collection to expert insights from I2D CEO Fahad Mohamed.

In Dubai, where innovation and ambition set the tone, sustainable design is becoming a natural part of creating homes that feel meaningful. It’s not about compromise—it’s about finding beauty in intention and longevity. Take 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆, for example. It features 11 𝘣𝘪𝘰-𝘥𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘯𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘴 that provide fresh produce for residents while fostering a sense of community. It’s a reminder that sustainability isn’t just about the environment—it’s about how we experience our spaces every day. As a designer, I’ve seen how thoughtful, sustainable choices can make a home feel effortlessly elegant while working for the way you live. • Eco-conscious finishes elevate both beauty and care for the environment. • Smart energy solutions make modern living more seamless and purposeful. • Timeless materials ensure spaces stay relevant for years to come. At Milestone, we incorporate sustainable elements like veneer, porcelain, and wood—materials that offer both durability and refinement. Smart water irrigation systems are another essential, allowing landscapes to thrive while conserving resources. 𝗟𝘂𝘅𝘂𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀—𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
