The conversation in this episode of Business Extra from LIVEX in Abu Dhabi focuses on what makes a development truly liveable as the city continues to grow and attract new residents, businesses, and investment. Dana Awad, chief commercial officer at ICT Real Estate Development, emphasizes that developers must look beyond individual buildings and consider the overall needs of people who will live, work, and spend their time within a community.
She highlights the importance of not solely focusing on beautiful architecture, as it is not sufficient if a development fails to meet everyday requirements of its residents. Awad discusses the significance of addressing these factors early on in the master planning process, encompassing elements such as open spaces, walkability, amenities, and community infrastructure.
Moreover, the discussion touches upon how individual developments are part of the broader evolution of Abu Dhabi. With the capital's population and economy evolving, the changing lifestyles and expectations of residents are shaping the future of real estate in the city.
