AN ITP MEDIA GROUP PUBLICATION DECEMBER 2025 - JANUARY 2026 • VOL. 2 • ISSUE 06 In partnership with S u n te c k R e a lt y L td . Leading with intent Kamal Khetan is driving Sunteck’s expansion with bold vision CWPME_Dec2025_00_Cover_13788531.indd 108/12/2025 14:07EDITOR’S LETTER 3DECEMBER 2025 - JANUARY 2026 As we close out the year, there’s a natural pause, a chance to refl ect on the work behind us and the opportunities just beginning to take shape. This edition captures that moment. It’s celebratory, yes, but it’s also refl ective, intentional and rooted in a sense of quiet confi dence about where the industry is headed. And perhaps that’s why having Kamal Khetan, Chairman & Managing Director of Sunteck Realty Ltd., on our cover feels so fi tting. Sunteck’s story is not a headline-hungry leap into a new market; it is the beginning of a measured, design-led chapter in the UAE. With their fi rst project, Sunteck International brings with it a philosophy that feels almost rare in today’s hyper-fast landscape: the belief that true luxury is not loud, but deeply thoughtful. Their approach puts emotional resonance at the centre, homes that aren’t merely impressive, but intuitive; not just beautiful, but beautifully considered. In a market that evolves by the minute, this ambition feels both refreshing and incredibly necessary. This issue also puts into focus one of our most anticipated lists of the year: Top Residential Launches of 2025. These projects represent more than architectural achievement; they refl ect shifting buyer priorities—liveability, sustainability, well-being, value and the desire for homes that support a fuller, richer life. We also look back at the standout moments from the Construction Week Awards Middle East, celebrating the people and ideas that shaped the industry in 2025, alongside a curated mix of stories spanning design, development, commercial trends and the ever-evolving real estate landscape. As we wrap up the year, here’s to better ideas, better spaces, and a market that keeps redefi ning what’s possible. Happy reading!

Located within the Expo Valley district, the new development off ers an elevated lifestyle experience that blends comfort, connectivity, and nature. Comprising eight low-rise buildings of varying heights, Expo Valley Views features a terraced skyline that draws inspiration from mountain landscapes. The architectural rhythm of the community is softened by water features, lush green spaces, and wellness areas, refl ecting Expo City Dubai’s unwavering focus on human- centric design and environmental stewardship. As the city continues to evolve into a hub of innovation and sustainable growth, Expo Valley Views stands as a manifestation of Expo City Dubai’s vision to create future-ready communities where people and the planet thrive in harmony. “Expo Valley Views illustrates our vision to build communities that prioritise people and the environment to create an urban neighbourhood that is deeply rooted in its surroundings while also shaped around comfort, connectivity and nature,” said Ahmed Al Khatib, Chief Development and Delivery Offi cer, Expo City Dubai. He added, “The launch of this Left: Expo Valley views; 3BR living room Right: A glimpse of Expo Valley Views, envisioned as a walkable, shaded neighbourhood; The lobby and loft area Images supplied by: Expo City Dubai ROOTED IN THE FUTURE Expo City Dubai’s latest community, Expo Valley Views, reimagines urban life through a lens of balance, well-being, and sustainability CWPME_Dec2025_8-9_Property Premiere_13780179.indd 808/12/2025 16:54PROPERTY PREMIERE 9DECEMBER 2025 - JANUARY 2026 exciting project comes amid robust demand for our many other residential developments and refl ects an exceptionally confi dent outlook for future growth, with Expo City Dubai, a hub on the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan playing a central role in the area’s increasing popularity, fuelled by the expansion of Dubai Exhibition Centre and Al Maktoum International Airport.” Expo Valley Views is conceived as a walkable, shaded neighbourhood, promoting balance, health, and social connection. The master plan integrates a variety of amenities tailored to enhance residents’ physical and emotional well-being, including horse trails, swimming pools, yoga decks, fi tness studios, children’s play areas, and community cafés. The landscape architecture encourages outdoor living and interaction, while the gentle scale of the low-rise buildings nurtures a sense of intimacy rarely found in urban developments of this size. Each design detail reinforces the idea that sustainability and luxury can coexist without compromise. The project is an embodiment of Expo City Dubai’s broader sustainability strategy and decarbonisation roadmap. Native plant species, smart irrigation systems, water reuse technology, and responsibly sourced materials form the backbone of the community’s design philosophy. These measures not only reduce environmental impact but also align with key national priorities, including the UAE Net Zero 2050 Strategy, Dubai’s Economic Agenda (D33), and Centennial 2071 Plan. In keeping with the city’s ethos as the UAE’s fi rst Green Innovation District, Expo Valley Views extends the legacy of Expo 2020 Dubai by integrating sustainability into everyday life, transforming global environmental ideals into a tangible, lived experience for residents. Strategically located just minutes from Al Wasl Plaza, Terra – The Sustainability Pavilion, and Expo City’s expanding cultural and business hubs, Expo Valley Views off ers residents a rare balance between tranquillity and connectivity. The community’s proximity to the rapidly expanding Dubai Exhibition Centre and Al Maktoum International Airport poised to become the world’s largest aviation hub, reinforces its long-term value for both homeowners and investors. As Dubai’s urban footprint continues to extend towards the south, this corridor is emerging as one of the city’s most signifi cant growth zones. The launch of this exciting project comes amid robust demand for our many other residential developments and refl ects an exceptionally confi dent outlook for future growth” CWPME_Dec2025_8-9_Property Premiere_13780179.indd 908/12/2025 16:54Next >
