'Vincitore Realty is committed to crafting more than just architectural icons; we're building trust, value, and enduring legacies. This Dh2 billion partnership with Luxridge represents our unwavering commitment to executional excellence. Together, we are shaping the future of luxury living in Dubai - landmarks that will inspire generations and stand the test of time,' said Vijay Doshi, founder and chairman of Vincitore Realty.

Backed by proven processes and a committed team, we are proud to be awarded these landmark projects and are looking forward to delivering them with the highest standards, reinforcing Dubai's global reputation for excellence.'
While the contract further validates Luxridge as a dependable construction partner for high-end projects, it also reflects a growing trend among developers to prioritise reliability and transparency over volume alone.

How growing cities like Abu Dhabi and Dubai can continue to be affordable for all
New population figures for Abu Dhabi released this week present an intriguing picture of an emirate undergoing a sustained period of growth. Data from Statistics Centre Abu Dhabi showed the emirate's population had passed four million for the first time, which represented a 7.5 per cent increase in population and a 9 per cent increase in the workforce in the past year. SCAD noted that the emirate's population has grown by more than 50 per cent over the past 10 years. Some of this should come as no surprise. The annual Arab Youth Survey traditionally ranks the UAE as the place in the world where young people want to live because of the opportunities it offers and the stability of the country. And it is not just young people who recognise this country's enviable track record for growth, safety and development. People from all over the world and from all strata of the economy want to live and work in the UAE and see their long-term futures here. Dubai's population is expected to reach four million this year, too. Together, Abu Dhabi and Dubai are now two of the world's best cities: magnets for talent, beacons of the knowledge economy, safe places to live with world-class facilities and enviable portfolios of tourism and leisure destinations. The discussion points around population growth are well-rehearsed. Rapid growth sets the conditions for innovation and dynamism and can spur economic expansion – to that point, gross domestic product grew in the UAE by about 4 per cent last year – but fast-paced expansion can also deliver strains on the system in such areas as housing stock and traffic. A roads survey published this week said that most of those surveyed believe traffic is getting heavier and that congestion is more commonplace. Suggested solutions from the survey include improvements to the bus and road network, expanding metro services and offering more opportunities to work from home. The question of housing is a near perennial one. A generation ago, Abu Dhabi's housing market was simmering. Too little supply and rapid population growth made it challenging for those who needed to move or had just arrived in the city. A series of measures to ease pressure cooled the market over a prolonged period. Nowadays, the market has found its natural levels and there is more supply, but there will always be hotspots, some of which can emerge suddenly. The Disney effect, for instance, was visible on Yas Island almost as soon as the announcement of the theme park's arrival was made earlier this year, even though neither a construction schedule nor a tentative opening date has been confirmed. But rapid population growth does underscore the need for both Abu Dhabi and Dubai to keep thinking about and developing a range of affordable housing solutions to meet demand. Abu Dhabi launched a Value Housing Programme in March to deliver what was described as 'high-quality units'. Dubai introduced a support scheme for first-time buyers this week in the emirate's property market. Dubai also approved a plan for more than 17,000 affordable houses in the spring. The ideal mix is for housing to be available across a wide spectrum of needs. If there is too much luxury housing, the market won't meet the needs of those with more modest budgets, even though it is common for developers to want to bring high-end properties to the market to stir up a form of mass aspiration and generate bigger profits. Housing stock imbalance also creates cycles of under and over-supply. If there is too much concentration on one sector or another, an inevitable imbalance ensues, and workers or families will eventually decide that their future lies elsewhere. The system relies on several forms of equilibrium being in play. Dubai Municipality's recent moves to tackle illegally partitioned residential units are an important safety measure aimed at clamping down on landlords making this type of conversion into multiple occupancy units. These actions also shed light on the natural human instinct to want to live close to work or where you send your children to school, or to find a place to live where you can make your budget fit. Further, they indicate a need to keep regulatory enforcement in place and for even more affordable stock to be made available that meets both the municipality's legal framework and remains within reach of many, both financially and geographically. An equitable property market is a solid building block for growth and happiness in the broader economy. This is not an issue exclusive to one city or one place in the world. Older neighbourhoods in Abu Dhabi have dwellings that have been subdivided after they were previously single-family units. It is the responsibility of the building's owners to stay within the limits of the law with conversions and to ensure their tenants are able to live safely. But the fact that there are such buildings at all is, once again, a symbol of population growth and dynamic market forces. The question then shifts to how do you mitigate these circumstances and what your longer-term response might be. Cities globally have faced that challenge for centuries. The answer to that challenge may rest in one of the magnets that secures such strong population growth figures in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the first place. Namely, the forward-looking nature of urban and economic policy formulation. There may also be a direct comparison to traffic congestion, one of the other harbingers of rapid population growth. An array of policy prescriptions are inevitably required to find the right solution and keep people moving forwards.

UAE's federal regulation of robo-advisory services aimed to protect retail investors
The UAE Securities and Commodities Authority 's approval of regulation for robo-advisory services this week will help establish a secure digital investment environment in the country, experts have said. Licensed portfolio management firms such as large banks and financial firms are now authorised to provide robo-advisory services through digital platforms that utilise artificial intelligence and advanced algorithms to deliver automated investment recommendations. However, robo-advisory services will remain subject to client agreements, the SCA announced. Robo-advisers are digital investment platforms that calculate an investor's risk tolerance based on a series of questions. Using automated algorithms, they then assign investors a tailored investment portfolio of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) or index funds. Typically, they charge lower fees compared with traditional financial advisers and wealth managers. 'The specialty of this regulation is that robo-advisory services are now legally regulated on a nationwide level by the SCA,' said Vijay Valecha, chief investment officer of Century Financial. 'Platforms that already offer robo-advisory services in the UAE are currently only regulated by DIFC or FSRA (ADGM) laws, which are financial free zones,' he added, referring to Dubai International Financial Centre and Abu Dhabi's Financial Services Regulatory Authority. 'Therefore, the laws in these free zones are different from the country's laws. For example, Sarwa is regulated by FSRA in Abu Dhabi, while StashAway is regulated by DIFC.' Having robo-advisory services regulated on a federal level, nationwide, would provide further protection and transparency to retail investors, as these platforms will be scrutinised on a deeper level, Mr Valecha said. It will also help to increase the attractiveness and competitiveness of the UAE financial markets across the world, he added. Assets under management in the global robo-advisory market are projected to reach $2.06 trillion in 2025, according to Statista, while the number of users is expected to reach 34 million by 2029. Retail investors are increasingly seeking direct access to markets with the help of technology, leading to a surge in popularity for zero-commission trading apps such as Robinhood, eToro and Interactive Brokers, as well as robo-advisers in the UAE including Sarwa, StashAway and Baraka. Robo-advisers in the UAE will now operate under strict governance guidelines, such as independent IT audits, strong cybersecurity systems, regular investment algorithm reviews, and transparent disclosure of fees and risks to ensure investor protection, the SCA announced. The new SCA licence allows robo-advisers to directly serve customers in mainland UAE and is a 'positive step' towards expanding digital investing in the UAE, said Raaed Sheibani, country manager – UAE at digital wealth manager StashAway. 'As regulatory support grows, more people will have access to the tools they need to build long-term wealth – that's a win for everyone. We also welcome a more cohesive framework across regulators, ensuring that clients can access services from digital players licensed by different UAE regulators with confidence,' Mr Sheibani added. Robo-advisers offer benefits like low cost and accessibility, but they also have 'notable drawbacks', warned Rupert Connor, partner at Abacus Financial Consultants. They typically offer a standardised set of investment options, primarily ETFs and index funds, which may not always align with an individual's preferences or financial planning goals, he said. They may not also be suitable for investors with complex financial situations, such as estate planning and tax optimisation, or significant life events like inheritance or business exits, or those seeking personalised investment strategies, he cited. Robo-advisers can often be problematic during market volatility or periods of emotional stress, as algorithms may not be able to provide the same level of reassurance and guidance as a human adviser, Mr Connor explained. 'For someone who is just beginning their financial planning journey by saving a modest amount on a monthly basis or a lump sum investment, a robo-adviser is their friend,' he added. "Once a portfolio reaches a certain level, then perhaps the guidance of an adviser is prudent as a robot will never be able to truly manage one's wealth." Agreeing with this, Jay Adrian Tolentino, a UAE-based financial coach, said the recommendations of robo-advisers is based only on the data you enter, such as age, risk appetite and investment horizon, so it 'may miss important personal context'. The investment decisions are driven by fixed algorithms, which may not respond well to unusual market conditions. While fees are usually lower than human advisers, there may still be limitations in terms of flexibility, customisation, or support when markets are volatile, Mr Tolentino warned. Robo-advisers also offer limited flexibility. Investors who want to focus on specific sectors, regions, or asset classes may find robo-advisers too rigid, as their portfolios are typically based on preset models, Mr Valecha highlighted. 'Relying too much on automation comes with its own risks. Though rare, technical issues like system outages, software glitches, or problems connecting with custodian platforms can disrupt how investments are executed,' he warned.
