Meerab Properties LLC wins two prestigious awards; strengthens position as a regional leader in real estate
Founded in 2013, Meerab Properties has steadily grown into a trusted name in Dubai's real estate landscape. With Pervaiz Shahid Iqbal at the helm as the CEO of the company, it has focused on providing high-impact leasing and property management solutions across warehouse spaces, labor accommodations, residential units, and commercial offices. Its strong presence in strategic locations across the UAE, combined with a client-first approach and operational transparency, has made it a preferred choice for both landlords and tenants.
The recent awards validate the brand's unwavering commitment to service excellence and innovation in property management. Meerab Properties has adopted proactive maintenance strategies, maintained regulatory compliance, and prioritised customer satisfaction resulting in consistent growth and tenant retention across its portfolio.
This recognition comes at a time when the UAE's property sector is placing increasing emphasis on value-added services and long-term asset optimisation. With rising expectations for professionally managed spaces, the need for reliable, well-structured firms like Meerab Properties is stronger than ever.
Pervaiz Iqbal Shahid, CEO of Meerab Properties LLC, shared his vision: "At Meerab, we believe in building more than just properties - we build long-term relationships rooted in trust, performance, and value. Our goal is to be the preferred partner for property owners and tenants by delivering reliable, transparent, and sustainable real estate solutions across markets."
Extending its impact beyond borders, Meerab's sister company FP Global, also chaired by Iqbal, is spearheading the development of the Hyatt Hotel in DHA Lahore, Pakistan. Currently over 80 per cent complete, the luxury hotel is on track for handover by late 2026 and is expected to become a benchmark in hospitality for the region. The property will offer premium rooms and suites, banquet halls, business facilities, fine dining, and wellness amenities; all built to international standards.
This expansion reflects a broader shift in strategy among the UAE-based firms aiming to diversify their portfolios across high-growth markets. Projects like Hyatt DHA Lahore illustrate how real estate and hospitality are converging to create experiential, investment-ready assets that deliver both lifestyle value and commercial returns.

White House AI chief says Biden hurt Gulf AI ambitions
The White House cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence adviser has blamed the Biden administration for stifling Middle East technology ambitions, particularly in the AI space. David Sacks made the comments on Tuesday during a round-table discussion at the Pennsylvania Energy and AI Summit, which President Donald Trump is scheduled to attend. He said former president Joe Biden's push to increase export controls that limited access to processing units deemed critical to pro-AI countries such as the UAE that are seeking to be leaders in the sector. Those export controls sought to prevent countries such as China from taking the lead in the AI arena but other nations, many of them US allies, were disproportionately affected by the policies. 'We already have hostile relations with a country on one side of the Persian Gulf,' Mr Sacks said, referring to Iran. 'Do we have to alienate everybody?' Alleviating some of these concerns, however, was Mr Trump's announcement in May during a visit to the UAE of a partnership in the form of a new 5-gigawatt UAE-US AI campus. Proponents of the deal highlighted security guarantees that would prevent the misuse of US technology, CPUs and GPUs. 'I know that our Gulf state partners will honour our security agreement,' Mr Sacks said. He added that stories of chip smuggling to other countries were overblown and oversimplified. 'The stories give people the impression that the chips are like diamonds in a briefcase that can be smuggled,' he explained. 'They're not, they're mainframe computers, it's not easy.' Mr Sacks added that inspectors can easily keep track of servers at data centres to ensure that US technology is accounted for. He also accused the Biden administration of placing too many burdens on US tech companies with the executive order that sought to put guardrails on AI development by emphasising data privacy and labour protection. Mr Sacks pointed out that in the days after inauguration, Mr Trump rescinded Mr Biden's executive order. Ahead of the conference, Nvidia, which has been a vocal critic of export control policies under the Biden administration, announced that following meetings with Mr Trump and other US officials, the company would soon be able to sell its Nvidia H20 GPU in China again. 'Nvidia hopes to start deliveries soon,' the company said. Also taking part in the summit was Khaldoon Al Mubarak, managing director and chief executive of UAE-based Mubadala Investment Company, who highlighted Mubadala's push to have an AI member as a consultant on its investment committee. 'The AI co-pilot that sits with us in the committee with all the board members, and all the investment committee members, obviously get to interact directly agent,' he said. Mr Al Mubarak said the UAE's economic history – from the rise and fall of the pearl industry that preceded a boom in oil and natural gas that helped propel the country to unprecedented prosperity – serves as a compass as it navigates its AI ambitions. 'At some point, this [oil and gas] was going to be disrupted, and I think that was the wise approach that our leadership and my government took,' he said, pointing out the UAE's push over the last decade to invest in AI. Mr Al Mubarak highlighted the creation of the UAE's Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) – where he currently serves as chairman of the board of trustees – in 2019 as proof the country was ahead of the curve in identifying AI as an economic game-changer.
