The award was presented to the Majid Al Futtaim Communities team at a gala event held at the Habtoor Grand Hotel in Dubai on October 6, 2022.
A high-profile annual event that celebrates the highest levels of achievement across all sectors of the global property and real estate industry, the International Property Awards is renowned as a mark of international excellence. The Awards are judged by a panel of over 100 industry experts who consider a wide range of factors ranging from architecture, waste materials handling and recycling, and energy efficiency, to climate control, conservation and cultivation, and innovation and technology.
Hawazen Esber, Chief Executive Officer, Majid Al Futtaim Communities, comments:“We are proud that Tilal Al Ghaf has been recognised as best Sustainable Residential Development at this year's International Property Awards. This really stands as testament to Majid Al Futtaim Communities' unwavering commitment to sustainable design and living, which is core to our creation of exceptional communities that enhance the quality of life of the people who live, work, and play there.”
He continues:“The fact that we faced such stiff competition from scores of quality sustainable developments from across Africa and Arabia, demonstrates that our industry is moving in the right direction to help to combat climate change. It is critical that we all continue to strive to put sustainability at the top of the agenda to conserve our planet's resources for future generations.”
