These launches respond directly to growing customer demand for meaningful, nature-rooted lifestyles and community living, the company said
Al Hamra has unveiled two groundbreaking residential developments, Al Hamra Greens and Aila Homes. The projects, with a combined investment value exceeding US $817mn, were launched at Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai.
Al Hamra Greens, situated in Al Hamra Village in Ras Al Khaimah (RAK), is said to embody the developer's commitment to design-led, high-quality living. Inspired by Scandinavian design, the wellness-centric community is rooted in the philosophy of 'Reconnect with Living'. It offers views of RAK's urban hub, the Al Hamra Championship Golf Course, and Wynn Al Marjan Island. The project comprises 1,754 apartments from one to three bedroom layouts, each featuring a private balcony for indoor-outdoor living.
Al Hamra Greens boasts an array of amenities, including gardens, BBQ terraces, paddle tennis and basketball courts, jogging and cycling tracks, kids' play zones, a pet park, a wellness spa, and a gym with panoramic views. Over 38% of the project sold out within 24 hours of its launch, the statement said.
Aila Homes will feature 200 upscale three- and four-bedroom townhouses. These townhouses will feature modern architecture, spacious layouts, private gardens, and direct access to community facilities. With over 50% of the units sold before the official launch, Aila Homes demonstrates the demand for ready-to-move family homes in the emirate.
Benoy Kurien, Group CEO of Al Hamra said, 'These launches respond directly to growing customer demand for meaningful, nature-rooted lifestyles and community living. They mark a key milestone in Al Hamra's growth journey and our commitment to delivering value-driven developments. Residents of both communities will benefit from the wider Al Hamra ecosystem, including a championship golf course, a 220-berth marina, and luxury hospitality assets like Waldorf Astoria, The Ritz-Carlton, Sofitel, and Al Hamra Village Hotel & Residences.'
Al Hamra said it is expanding into ultra-luxury with the opening of Waldorf Astoria Residences, Ras Al Khaimah, The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Al Wadi Desert, and its first project in Dubai. These developments solidify its position in the UAE's real estate sector, the statement concluded.

Qlub Raises $30M to Expand Contactless Dining Platform Globally
Qlub, a restaurant payment solution based Dubai, has raised US$30 million in a funding round to support its international expansion. The round was co-led by Shorooq Partners and Cherry Ventures, with participation from strategic backers including e&, Mubadala Investments, and Legend Capital. Launched in 2021 by Eyad Alkassar and Mahmoud Fouz, Qlub has become widely used across Dubai's dining scene. The platform enables customers to scan a QR code to browse menus, place orders, and pay directly from their smartphones, removing the need for physical menus and traditional payment methods. This technology aims to streamline restaurant operations and improve the overall dining experience. Qlub is now present in thousands of venues across several markets, including Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, Brazil, Qatar, Kuwait, and Korea. It processes a few billion US dollars annually and reaches millions of users each month. Its client portfolio includes restaurants such as Paul Cafe, Wagamama, Sushi Samba, and La Petite Maison. Reported outcomes from adopting Qlub include a 300% increase in tips, a sevenfold rise in positive Google reviews, and an 80% reduction in checkout wait times. Restaurants also note reductions in labor costs and improved space efficiency by decreasing the number of required cashier stations. The company plans to use the new funds to deepen its footprint in existing markets, expand into new regions, and continue developing its product, particularly by integrating analytics that offer restaurants more detailed insights into customer behavior and preferences. 'Our vision is simple: Qlub makes paying at restaurants ten times faster, and that elevates the entire dining experience,' said Eyad Alkassar. 'Why would any restaurant, anywhere in the world, choose to operate without it?' Mahmoud Fouz said, 'We're thrilled to have the support of investors, both new and existing partners, as we continue to build Qlub's vision. We're grateful for the confidence our investors have placed in us and excited for what lies ahead.'

New Report Analyzed by Swisslog Reveals 93% of Warehouses Prioritize Throughput as Key to ROI
A new global report from AutoStore, analyzed by Swisslog , reveals that 93% of supply chain leaders rate improving throughput as a top warehouse priority in 2025, with nearly all surveyed (97%) having implemented some form of automation to date. With the Middle East logistics market set to double this year since 2020, the findings underscore the growing urgency for businesses to optimize automation and software capabilities to unlock higher performance and faster returns on investment. The State of Warehouse Management and Fulfillment 2025 report surveyed over 300 global executives with supply chain responsibility, benchmarking automation trends, and identifying key operational priorities. Swisslog, a leading AutoStore integrator, examined the findings with a focus on how advanced warehouse execution and automation control software, such as Swisslog's SynQ platform, can drive meaningful improvements in the metrics that matter most to regional businesses. Key highlights from the report include: Throughput performance surges in priority: Improving throughput rose from the 8th highest priority in 2024 to 4th in 2025, with 93% of respondents citing it as 'very' or 'extremely important.'

Integration is critical: As automation levels expand, seamless software integration across multiple systems becomes vital to prevent operational complexity and ensure data-driven performance improvements. The report also highlights how flexibility in automation software enables businesses to adapt to evolving customer demands, streamline omnichannel fulfillment, and maximize both throughput and storage density. Commenting on the findings, Rami Younes, General Manager at Swisslog Middle East, said, 'This year's report makes it clear: automation alone is no longer enough. Businesses that want to stay competitive must also focus on software that enhances performance and integrates seamlessly across technologies. In the Middle East, where we're seeing fast growth in omnichannel retail and an e-commerce sector projected to reach US$50 billion by 2025 , the pressure to improve throughput, maximize density, optimize order fulfilment and adapt to demand spikes is mounting. Software is the key enabler of these capabilities.' The report also warns of the risks of fragmented automation systems, which can lead to inefficiencies and limit the value of operational data. Swisslog's SynQ platform addresses this by providing a single, unified software solution to manage and optimize automation assets.
