Meteora Maisour Real Estate

In a strategic move aimed at revolutionising UAE’s real estate investment landscape, Dubai-based Meteora Developers recently announced the multi-million dollars acquisition deal of Maisour, a DIFC-based property crowdfunding platform.

Maisour’s innovative model of digital fractional ownership has made it possible for people from around the world to invest in Dubai properties with as little as Dh500. This acquisition aligns with both companies’ visions to democratise real estate investment and capitalise on Dubai’s booming property market.

Making Dubai Real Estate Accessible to All

This acquisition allows Meteora Developers to integrate its vast expertise and stellar reputation in the real estate market with Maisour’s tech-driven platform, offering a broader and more diverse range of real estate investment opportunities. By lowering the initial investment barrier, and enabling ownership seamlessly through mobile apps the platform will now attract a larger pool of global investors, especially those who previously found the initial cash outlay restrictive.

“Through this acquisition, we’re taking significant strides toward making Dubai real estate accessible to billions of potential investors worldwide. With an entry point as low as Dh500, we’re confident that Dubai’s ready properties will witness an unprecedented surge in demand,” said Praveen Sharma, Founder and CEO of Meteora Developers.

Driving Growth and Innovation

The founders of both Maisour and Meteora bring over 70 years of combined experience in real estate, investment banking, technology, and marketing. The acquisition not only brings together their collective expertise but also paves the way for rapid expansion into new markets.

Maisour’s digital platform, which has already disrupted the traditional real estate investment model, is now poised for exponential growth with the backing of Meteora Developers.

Transforming Real Estate Investment in the UAE and Beyond

“This acquisition marks a new chapter of growth and innovation for Maisour,” said Mohamed Sabry, Senior Executive Officer of Maisour. “Our mission of democratising real estate investment is now bolstered by the vast resources, connections, and market insights that Meteora Developers bring to the table. This will allow us to better serve our investors while continuing to innovate.”

The full acquisition of Maisour by Meteora Developers signals a commitment to providing top-tier real estate opportunities and enhancing the platform’s offerings. With Meteora’s support, Maisour will be able to rapidly scale and introduce new features such as a secondary market, AI-driven reinvestment strategies, and even explore expansion into other regional markets like KSA, Egypt, India, and Pakistan.

“Our partnership with Maisour is a perfect synergy of technology and real estate expertise. This acquisition will allow us to offer unparalleled opportunities to investors worldwide while continuing to enhance Dubai’s reputation as a global real estate hub,” added Sharma, who co-founded Meteora Developers with his Jordanian partner Omar Al Amour early last year before going on to carve a niche for themselves in the real estate market, selling out their first two projects, The East Crest and 7 Park Central, within days of their unveiling in Q1 2023.

Looking Ahead: Expanding Opportunities for Investors

With this acquisition, current and future investors on the Maisour platform can look forward to enhanced investment opportunities, including access to premium real estate projects curated by both Meteora and Maisour’s local experts. The integration of technology, capital, and market insights positions Maisour as a leading real estate crowdfunding platform in the UAE and beyond.

Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) will showcase how its latest advancements in AI are helping critical enterprises and security providers maintain safety and awareness across vast operations, moving from reactive incident detection to proactive response, at Intersec, taking place from January 12 to 14.

Avigilon Visual Alerts uses intuitive conversational interfaces to significantly expand the catalogue of visual events that can be detected across large volumes of camera feeds. Security teams can easily create custom alerts unique to their site, such as “unauthorized vehicle near shut-off valve” or “blocked fire exit.” Visual Alerts scans the camera network for these scenarios to notify operational and security staff to triage and quickly respond. By bringing these generative AI capabilities directly on-premise without requiring cloud connectivity, the company is transforming video security from an intrusion and security focused tool into a site-specific operational engine, enabling critical industries to identify a vast array of safety, compliance, and logistical risks that extend far beyond traditional security threats.

“The power of our AI-enabled video and access control solutions isn’t just its ability to process data, but its capacity to give security teams more of their most precious resource – time,” said Jehan Wickramasuriya, senior vice president, Security & Resilience Software, Motorola Solutions. “We are unlocking the full potential of video by dramatically increasing the breadth of what we can detect. Whether upholding compliance in a refinery or keeping patients safe in a hospital, we’re enabling our customers to tailor their detection systems to the specific, nuanced reality of their daily operations.”

Visual Alerts supports sectors that are vital to the Middle East’s economy, including oil and gas, fueled by soaring output and extensive reserves, and healthcare, spurred by major government investments. The solution provides real-time, AI-powered detections to enhance safety, security and compliance, from alerting workers to hazards, to quickly identifying patient falls and constantly monitoring restricted zones.

“As a 300-bed hospital that occupies almost 30,000 square meters of land, we have large numbers of people and expansive physical resources to protect,” said Abdulrub Alsadeek, IT Director, Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib Medical Center (HMG) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. “During an incident, our AI-powered Avigilon security platform becomes a powerful tool to help our security teams reconcile data, understand different events across our vast operations and take immediate action based on relevant, verified information.”

Other highlights from Motorola Solutions at Intersec Dubai complement Visual Alerts, including long-range cameras that provide highly accurate detection capabilities in extreme environments and operational resilience software that helps enterprises anticipate, prepare for and more efficiently respond to events.

“For the critical industries we serve, our AI technologies are proven to enhance security, safety, and operational efficiency without adding complexity for staff,” said Pedro Simoes, corporate vice president, Video Security & Access Control, Motorola Solutions. “By surfacing essential data facilitated by privacy-aware AI analysis on-premises, we help users focus on critical events and make informed decisions to protect people, property and places.”

Attendees can experience Motorola Solutions’ safety and security ecosystem, including AI-powered on-premise and cloud-connected video and access control offerings at Sheikh Saeed Hall – stand SA-C11 at Intersec Dubai.

GFH Partners Manrre REIT (CEIC) PLC and Palmon Group unveil new temperature-controlled chemical warehouse in JAFZA

Published

on

GFH Partners Manrre REIT (CEIC) PLC (“Manrre” or “the Fund”), managed by GFH Partners Ltd. (“GFH Partners”),  together with its development manager Palmon Group FZCO (“Palmon Group”), today announced the opening of a specialised temperature-controlled chemical warehouse in Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza), further expanding the Fund’s Grade A logistics portfolio.

The inauguration ceremony was held in the presence of Mr Abdulla Bin Damithan, CEO and Managing Director, DP World GC, alongside senior officials and dignitaries from Jebel Ali Free Zone, GFH Partners, and Palmon Group.

Purpose-built and developed by Palmon Group to meet stringent international safety and compliance standards, the new facility reflects the rising regional demand for certified chemical storage infrastructure that supports manufacturing, energy, industrial services, and third-party logistics. The warehouse is situated on a 180,000sq ft plot with a built-up area of 112,000 sq ft, divided into three temperature-controlled chambers that reach a maximum height of 13 metres. The warehouse has been designed with advanced Early Suppression Fast Response (ESFR), and in-rack sprinkler systems to ensure safety and resilience across all operations.

The facility’s layout allows storage of a diverse range of hazard-classified chemicals. One chamber is configured for UN Class 3 and 4 chemicals, a second accommodates UN Class 5 chemicals, while the third has been developed for UN Class 6, 8, 9 and non-regulated materials. The warehouse offers capacity for 17,400 pallets and includes nine loading docks and three loading bays. The office space has been intentionally limited to three percent of the total built-up area, maximising operational efficiency and warehouse utility.

Speaking on the launch, Kunal Lahori, CEO of Palmon Group and Board Member of Manrre, said: “This new facility brings together precision engineering, regulatory compliance, and long-term value creation. Specialised chemical storage requires a high degree of control and risk management, and we have developed this warehouse to meet those expectations while offering flexibility and scalability for tenants. As one of the earliest developers in Jafza, Palmon Group remains committed to supporting the UAE’s logistics and industrial growth.”

Mohamed Ali, Head of GCC at GFH Partners, said: “The opening of this warehouse marks another important milestone in the expansion of the GFH Partners Manrre REIT portfolio, particularly in mission-critical industrial and logistics assets that serve high-growth sectors. The UAE continues to see strong demand for specialised storage solutions, and this facility reinforces our strategy to develop resilient, future-ready assets that deliver long-term value for our investors.”

The logistics hub is now fully operational and is leased to Safe Logistics. The new facility is expected to play a significant role in strengthening regulated supply chains and supporting Dubai’s position as one of the region’s foremost logistics and industrial hubs.
