First-Hand Analysis of the Region’s Landmark Developments

Our team has already performed research and intelligence work on many of the region’s flagship megaprojects. This allows us to immediately engage with clients on live cases, bringing historical and operational context.

Projects we have studied include:

• Downtown Dubai (UAE) – Led by Emaar Properties, this iconic project includes Burj Khalifa and showcases the commercial success of integrated mixed-use real estate in Dubai.
• NEOM (Saudi Arabia) – A $500B+ giga-project under Vision 2030, integrating renewable energy, tech-driven cities, and cross-sector industrial innovation.
