JIIC, LEAD achieve key safety milestone at Jubail Island
UAE-based Jubail Island Investment Company (JIIC) and LEAD Development have achieved a major safety milestone at its landmark community in Abu Dhabi - Jubail Island - clocking 12 million man-hours without a Lost Time Injury (LTI).
This remarkable achievement was accomplished exclusively for infrastructure works, including bridges, in collaboration with Gulf Contractors Company (GCC).
Owned by JIIC and developed and managed by LEAD Real Estate Developer, Jubail Island comprises six residential villages nestled among the breathtaking natural beauty and rich biodiversity of the mangroves.
The low-density, low-impact landmark community offers residents every convenience and amenity, seamlessly blending sustainable living, luxury, and wellness in an iconic new addition to Abu Dhabi's real estate landscape, said the developer.
To celebrate the feat, the Abu Dhabi City Municipality recently hosted a special ceremony where an awards was presented to Engineer Abdulla Saeed Al Shamsi, the General Manager of JIIC.
At the ceremony, the municipality officials recognised both the Jubail Island and LEAD Development team for achieving an outstanding health and safety milestone.
"We are grateful to Abu Dhabi City Municipality for this significant award," said Eng. Al Shamsi.
"This recognition underscores the successful collaboration between our team, our partners at GCC, and all stakeholders. Prioritising the safety and well-being of our workforce is paramount," he stated.

Driven Properties buys final Bulgari Lighthouse units for $77m
Driven Properties, a member of the Forbes Global Properties network, has announced that it has completed the sale of the last two penthouses at the Bulgari Lighthouse on Jumeirah Bay Island in Dubai for a combined amount of more than AED282 million ($77 million). The first five-bedroom residence, spanning 11,657 sq ft, reached a whopping AED146.6 million, while the second, achieved AED136.25 million, said the company in a statement. Designed by Italian architects Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel, Bulgari Lighthouse blends contemporary engineering with Mediterranean calm. A coral-inspired façade shields each home while framing uninterrupted views of the Arabian Gulf and Downtown's skyline, it stated. The transactions were brokered by Driven | Forbes Global Properties' Lina Allaoa and Kianoush Darban, founders of The Private Collection, the brokerage's specialist team for ultra-high-end property. The duo is well known for setting several records in the area, from the highest price per sq ft, to the most expensive villa in Jumeirah Bay Island. Terraces flow into private infinity pools, and double-height salons are finished in Italian marble, warm oak and hand-laid silk panelling, said the company. A combination of location, craftsmanship and privacy that has made Lighthouse one of the most wanted addresses in Dubai's ultra-prime market, it added. "Dubai offers our international clients two things they value most: a secure place to allocate their capital and an unbeatable way of life. Bulgari Lighthouse unites those advantages in a single address, blending sound investment with everyday opulence," remarked Allaoa. On the strategic deal, Darban said: "Scarcity drives value. With fewer than 40 residences in the tower, and amenities that rival a private resort, Lighthouse is arguably the most coveted address in Dubai."

e& UAE Sets World Record With 600Mbps Uplink
e& UAE has set a world-record uplink speed of 600Mbps on a live 5G network, solidifying the UAE's leadership in next-generation connectivity. The record was set using FR1 band aggregation at 2100MHz and C-band, along with Uplink 3Tx (three transmit antennas), and tested on a commercial Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) device. The setup is fully compliant with 3GPP Release 17 standards, a key foundation of the 5G-Advanced technology roadmap. Abdulrahman Al Humaidan, Vice President/Fixed Access Network at e& UAE, said: 'e& UAE's world-record 600Mbps uplink speed is a strategic move forward, stimulating the global tech landscape with a new era of hyper-fast, uplink-driven digital innovation. 'This isn't just a technological breakthrough, it's a launchpad for businesses and individuals to reshape the digital world, cementing the UAE as a global tech leader.' Why Uplink Speed Matters More Than Ever While much of the early 5G focus has been on download speeds, uplink capacity is increasingly critical for modern digital applications. The 600Mbps uplink milestone opens the door to a new generation of uplink-heavy use cases, from real-time drone surveillance and smart city video analytics, to immersive cloud-hosted AR/VR, and instant 8K video uploads for content creators. Enterprises will benefit from real-time data uploads from smart factories, logistics hubs, and IoT networks—fueling AI-driven automation and predictive analytics. Content creators can instantly stream or upload ultra-HD videos to platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Twitch. Gamers will enjoy lag-free cloud gaming, and smart homes will operate more seamlessly with rapid uploads of IoT data and high-def video. Virtual event hosts and user-generated AR experiences will become more interactive, responsive, and engaging. Built on the latest 3GPP Release 17, this deployment integrates enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC), showcasing how 5G-Advanced is evolving to meet the demands of a fully connected world. With this achievement, e& UAE has set a global benchmark for uplink performance in the FR1 spectrum, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in real-world 5G deployments.
