Rare $100mln Palm Jumeirah land plot brokered by Dubai Sotheby's International Realty
Spanning an impressive 90,036 sq. ft., this exceptionally valuable plot occupies a coveted 'frond tip' position – a truly rare find on Palm Jumeirah, where most land has already been developed and freehold plots are tightly held. Boasting sweeping, uninterrupted views across the Arabian Gulf, Bluewaters Island, and the glittering Dubai Marina skyline, the property offers an unparalleled blend of absolute privacy and breathtaking, iconic panoramas.
George Azar, Chairman & CEO of Dubai Sotheby's International Realty, commented: 'Palm Jumeirah unequivocally remains the ultimate address for Dubai's global elite. The sale of this exceptionally rare frond tip plot emphatically underlines the enduring prestige of the island and the intense demand for unparalleled ultra-prime waterfront living. As prime inventory continues to tighten, we anticipate land values and bespoke mansion prices will appreciate significantly in the years to come.'
This landmark deal is indicative of a broader trend witnessed throughout 2025, as Dubai continues to achieve unprecedented milestones in its real estate sector. In December 2024, Dubai Sotheby's International Realty notably facilitated the sale of a five-bedroom beachfront Signature Villa at Six Senses Palm Jumeirah for AED 130 million (USD 35.4 million), a transaction that ranked among the top ten most expensive branded residences sold globally in 2024.
Land plots, in particular, are experiencing exceptionally robust demand as both developers and Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals (UHNWIs) seek to create bespoke residences within Dubai's most prestigious enclaves, driven by the continued influx of UHNWIs to the emirate. According to Dubai Sotheby's International Realty, for January-May 2025, Palm Jumeirah has seen prices surge by 18.92%, despite a 14% dip in transaction volume, highlighting the intense value appreciation in this exclusive market. Data from the Dubai Land Department reveals that over 7,700 plots were transacted within the first 100 days of the year alone, underscoring this intense market activity.
Leigh Borg, Executive Partner at Dubai Sotheby's International Realty, exclusively represented the seller in this significant transaction. The discerning buyer, 25 Degrees, is a premier luxury property developer renowned for crafting architecturally significant, ultra-bespoke residences across Dubai's most elite enclaves.
'The demand for super-prime real estate in Dubai is truly extraordinary, and the appetite for exclusive, meticulously crafted residences has never been stronger,' stated Leigh Borg. 'In today's highly competitive market, developers must differentiate themselves through unparalleled originality and visionary design. This extraordinary plot presents 25 Degrees with a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver a truly iconic residence, poised to set a new benchmark for ultra-luxury living on the Palm.'
Dubai Sotheby's International Realty continues to lead the luxury real estate market, setting new benchmarks and facilitating unparalleled transactions that underscore Dubai's enduring appeal as a global hub for prime and ultra-prime property.

Egypt's minister pushes for stronger returns, partnerships in real estate, construction sectors
Egypt - Mohamed El-Shimy, Minister of the Public Enterprises Sector, held a high-level meeting on Monday with the CEOs of companies affiliated with the Holding Company for Construction and Development. The session, held at the headquarters of the Egyptian Contracting Company (Mokhtar Ibrahim), focused on evaluating project progress, performance metrics, and future plans, including upcoming contracts. Also attending were Mohamed Mostafa, Executive Managing Director of the Holding Company, along with senior officials from the ministry. El-Shimy stressed that the construction and real estate sectors play a pivotal role in Egypt's broader urban development strategy. He underscored the importance of delivering projects on time and to a high standard, while urging affiliated companies to maximise the return on state-owned real estate assets. He also called for the expansion of economically viable projects and stronger partnerships with the private sector. The minister reviewed the contributions of affiliated companies to national development initiatives across multiple governorates. These include infrastructure and utility projects under the 'Decent Life' presidential initiative—such as wastewater treatment facilities, water purification plants, bridges, schools—as well as residential developments in the New Administrative Capital. Additional projects include electrical work in the New Delta, North Coast, Red Sea, Beni Suef, Giza, and Qena, as well as shoreline protection in Alexandria and Marsa Matrouh. A key part of the discussion focused on the economic utilisation of real estate assets and increasing private sector investment. Updates were provided on the New Heliopolis development, including enhancements to infrastructure, landscaping, pedestrian walkways, internal roads, and gates, along with a planned mixed-use compound combining residential, commercial, and administrative spaces. El-Shimy highlighted the successful restoration of the historic Granada Palace in Heliopolis, now reopened as a cultural and artistic venue. This was presented as a model for integrating heritage preservation with strategic investment. The meeting also touched on the rebranding of the Heliopolis Company for Housing and Development, signalling a strategic shift toward institutional development, improved marketing, and stronger customer trust. Other real estate projects discussed included Areba in the North Coast, Raqia in El-Ibrahimia, Grand View Smouha 2, Maadi View El Shorouk, Maadi Valley, Sea Bell in New Mansoura, and development plans in Hadayek Al-Asimah, where a comprehensive urban community is being designed. Updates on international ventures and recent contracts were also shared. Additionally, affiliated construction companies' contributions to broader ministry initiatives were reviewed. These include the national textile industry revitalisation project, the rehabilitation of El Nasr Automotive, upgrades to pharmaceutical companies, and the Jaz Asila resort in Marsa Alam. El-Shimy urged companies to focus on integrated real estate developments, improve marketing strategies, and take full advantage of high-value land assets to create distinctive and competitive projects. He also emphasised the importance of expanding into regional and global markets, leveraging the technical expertise and accumulated experience of affiliated firms to enhance competitiveness and diversify revenue streams. Customer satisfaction was highlighted as a core success metric, with El-Shimy calling for ongoing improvements in customer service, project quality, and operational efficiency. He pointed to stronger financial performance and rising real estate sales as signs of positive momentum. Concluding the meeting, the minister praised the synergy among subsidiaries under the Holding Company for Construction and Development and their collaboration with other entities under the ministry. He affirmed that such integration is essential for accelerating project execution, maximising returns on state investments, and advancing comprehensive national development goals. © 2025 Daily News Egypt.

Fakhruddin Properties starts work on 32-storey Dubai residential tower
Sustainability-focused developer Fakhruddin Properties today (July 28) broke ground on its newest residential project, the 32-storey Treppan Tower, located in Jumeirah Village Triangle, Dubai. A flagship Treppan Living branded development, it will be home to 264 contemporary one- and two-bedroom apartments, and limited number of three-bedroom sky villas, units ranging in size from 479 to 2,916-sq ft and occupying 25 residential floors. A further two floors will be dedicated to revolutionary and wellness-focused lifestyle amenities including Zen inspired landscaping, with five podium parking levels, said the developer. This builds on the April establishment of the Real Estate Alliance, a Dubai Land Department (DLD) strategic initiative that brings together a quartet of leading developers, including Fakhruddin Properties, through enhanced collaboration and partnership between public and private sector entities in support of long-term real estate market growth. Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, CEO and Managing Partner Yousuf Fakhruddin said: "A next-generation, wellness-centric branded residence designed for the future of urban living, today's Treppan Tower groundbreaking signals the next phase of our commitment to building transformational wellness-integrated communities in Dubai and collectively address carbon footprint reduction goals across our portfolio." "Together with our upcoming duo of luxury residential projects set to bring signature Fakhruddin innovation to future communities within the Dubai Islands cluster, this further strengthens our substantial portfolio to include a growing number of existing and under-development residential destinations," stated Fakhruddin. Tower residents will benefit from AI-enabled smart home automation technology capable of detecting unnecessary lighting or air-conditioning usage, with inbuilt demand-control functionality designed to effectively regulate and manage energy consumption, he noted. "Homeowners and tenants will also breathe easier, thanks to pure indoor air quality levels delivered via our proprietary Smart Air Handling Unit (SAHU) system; and have on-tap access to hydrogenated, ionised, organically mineralised alkaline drinking water," he added. According to him, the Greenhouse Café will be the heart of the community for residents. "Conventional air-conditioning replaced by radiant cooling technology and the run-off water recycled for irrigation use in the onsite hydroponics garden make this place one of a kind," he stated. A refill station for everyday household product essentials will also be located within the café with the goal of reducing/eliminating single use plastics purchase. "To reduce landfill waste by 90%, Fakhruddin Properties will provide residents with color-coded, barcode-enabled bags for easy sorting into wet, dry, and reject bins. The building's system is set up for comprehensive composting and recycling," he added. Copyright 2025 Al Hilal Publishing and Marketing Group Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc. (
