Khaleej Times28-04-2025
Symbolic Developments, a boutique real estate developer by the Speedex Group, has completed the handover of its inaugural project, Symbolic Alpha. The project was delivered in just 14 months —ahead of schedule from June 2025.
The Dh150 million Symbolic Alpha comprises 97 fully furnished, upscale apartments. Located in Liwan, Dubai and offering 1 BHK and 2.5 BHK, the project has garnered overwhelming demand, attracting a diverse mix of UAE residents and international buyers, with a majority being families and end-users. The development features Vaastu-compliant layouts, smart home technology, and premium finishes enhancing residents' lifestyles.
'Completing our inaugural project, Symbolic Alpha, ahead of schedule marks a significant milestone for us. Transforming an idea into reality within just 14 months showcases our dedication to excellence, precise execution, and customer satisfaction. This achievement sets a strong foundation for future endeavors as we continue to develop high-quality residential spaces in Dubai's strategic locations, emphasizing sustainability, community living, and smart home features,' said Murtaza Moiz, Vice Chairman of Symbolic Developments and Speedex Group.
'With a 35-year legacy as a trusted group, our real estate division, Symbolic, is committed to setting new benchmarks in the industry since its inception two years ago. Our legacy continues, and with each project, we strive to enhance the customer experience. Following the early completion and handover of our maiden project in Liwan, our second venture, Symbolic Aura, is already sold out, with construction underway and on track for an early handover, reinforcing our reputation as a trusted developer delivering premium residential experiences in sought-after locations.'
Dubai's real estate market is witnessing sustained demand, driven by factors such as increasing foreign investment, a rising population, and strategic government initiatives like long-term visas and tax incentives. The surge in demand for larger living spaces, smart home integrations, and community-driven developments aligns with Symbolic Developments' vision of creating sustainable, Vaastu-compliant homes that cater to modern homeowners seeking long-term value.
'Symbolic Alpha marks the beginning of our journey to redefine premium sustainable living in Dubai. The overwhelming response from buyers confirms that homeowners in Dubai seek thoughtfully designed, high-quality residences that offer both functionality and long-term value,' said Karan Arora, Head of Sales and Marketing at Symbolic Developments.

UAE Central Bank suspends licence of insurance company Yas Takaful

The UAE Central Bank has suspended the licence of insurance company Yas Takaful for non-compliance with the country's regulatory framework, it said on Monday. "Yas Takaful remains liable for all rights and obligations arising from insurance contracts concluded before the suspension," the Central Bank said in a statement. The regulator, through its supervisory and regulatory mandates, "works to ensure that all insurers, their owners and staff abide by the UAE laws, and regulations and standards ... to safeguard the integrity of the insurance sector and the UAE financial system", it added. Yas Takaful, formerly known as Al Hilal Takaful, was established in 2008 and acquired in 2020, and offers Sharia-compliant takaful solutions, according to its website. Takaful is a form of Islamic insurance where participants pool their contributions to provide mutual protection against loss or damage, offering coverage for health, life, and general insurance requirements. The National has reached out to the company for comment. The latest action comes as the UAE regulator has been cracking down heavily on regulatory non-compliance. Last month, it revoked the licence of Al Khazna after the insurance company failed to meet the licensing requirements needed to conduct business during the period of suspension of its licence. It also imposed a fine of Dh4.1 million ($1.1 million) on three exchange houses in July for failing to comply with the law on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CFT), as it continues its fight against illegal financial activity. In June, the Central Bank imposed a Dh100 million fine on an exchange house for 'significant failures' in its AML/CFT framework. Overall, the UAE imposed fines of more than Dh42 million on private sector entities during the first half of 2025 for not complying with money laundering regulations, state news agency Wam quoted the Ministry of Economy of Tourism as saying last month. A total of 1,063 breaches were discovered in the six months through the end of June across four categories, it said. Last year, the government also amended its laws on anti-money laundering, and the financing of terrorism and illegal organisations to ensure better regulatory oversight. In a major vote of confidence, the EU last month also voted to remove the UAE from its list of countries that pose a high risk for money laundering and terrorist financing.

Al Ain Court Orders Man to Repay Dh160,000 in Fake Investment Scheme

The Al Ain Civil, Commercial, and Administrative Cases Court has ruled against a man for duping another into a fraudulent investment, ordering him to repay Dh160,000 plus interest and legal costs. Court documents show the defendant convinced the plaintiff that he owned private companies and persuaded him to invest. Trusting the claims, the plaintiff handed over Dh150,000 in two instalments, supported by a signed receipt. However, the defendant failed to deliver on the investment, avoided communication, and later claimed the money had been lost. A court-appointed forensic accounting expert confirmed that the defendant acknowledged receiving the funds under an informal investment agreement but did not honour the partnership terms. The court ordered the defendant to repay the Dh150,000 principal, Dh20,000 in damages, and 12 per cent annual interest from the date of filing until full settlement, along with all court fees and expenses.
