DUBAI - Leading developer and operator of student living communities The Myriad has collaborated with frontier markets asset manager FIM Partners to set a new standard in safe, affordable, and vibrant community accommodation for higher education and university students. The development journey started in 2018, with the living community opening its doors to residents during the peak of Covid-19 in 2020.
