The first project to go live will be Arabella at Mudon.
Jaber Mohamed Al Bastaki, Director of Operations, Dubai Properties, said, “As a company built on a foundation of delivering vibrant residential, retail, and business communities that support and enhance the wider Dubai community, Taawun’s support in our endeavour to develop smart new realty projects is invaluable. The resulting innovations and solutions they will provide will be instrumental in ensuring that all our upcoming projects achieve a common objective of supporting the UAE Vision 2021 and smart city development in Dubai.”
