Under the patronage of HH Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Chairman of the Municipality and Planning Department in Ajman, Emirates Properties Group launched Azha Millennium Residences, an ultra-luxury branded mixed-use development that will be developed at the heart of Jumeirah Village Triangle (JVT), Dubai.
Being developed by Emirates Properties Group, one of the large property developers in the UAE, the Dh350 million Azha Millennium Residences will deliver an exquisite collection of 196 Millennium Hotels & Resorts-branded apartments and curated retail spaces upon completion in Q4 2027.
With its futuristic design, integrated living experience, and sustainable infrastructure, Azha Millennium Residences harbours Dubai's ambitious goal to propel the real estate market value to Dh1 trillion by 2033 – a key indicator of the Dubai Real Estate Sector Strategy 2033. Rising 30 storeys high, it is the latest hotel-branded development to adorn Dubai's towering skyline, reaffirming the city's appeal to the global affluent.
The emirate recorded transactions of more than 13,000 branded units in 2024, a 43 per cent increase from 2023, according to market intelligence and property consultancy Global Branded Residences (GBR). Currently boasting 43,000 homes across 132 high-end developments in its inventory, Dubai eyes to increase its stock by more than double over the next five years.

The surge of wealthy home-buyers in Dubai is central to the growth of branded homes.

Dubai now ranks among the top 20 wealthiest cities, hosting 81,200 millionaires, including 237 centi-millionaires and 20 billionaires. The number of wealthy people with a net worth exceeding US$100 million in Dubai is expected to grow two-fold by 2034, according to the 'World's Wealthiest Cities Report 2024' published by Henley & Partners in collaboration with New World Wealth.
Properties like Azha Millennium Residences will help maintain the supply level in the long run as the market foresees rising demand due to the influx of High-Net-Worth-Individuals (HNWIs) by the next decade.
Mohammed R. Hegazi, Managing Director of Emirates Properties Group, said, 'Azha's launch takes place at a time when Dubai is receiving a large number of super-wealthy settlers. Each residence is masterfully crafted to embody luxury living at its core. Millennium Hotels and Resorts adds pivotal value to homes, promising an unmatched experience with its signature hospitality services.

OPEN// Illusion of stability through excessive use of force not to bring security to Israel
CAIRO, June 13 (MENA) - Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration, and Egyptian Expatriates Badr Abdelatty warned on Friday that 'the illusion of achieving security and stability through the excessive use of force is fundamentally flawed and will not bring security and stability to Israel.' His remarks came during a joint press conference with German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul at the Foreign Ministry headquarters in Cairo following high-level talks between the two officials. In response to a question about the recent Israeli strikes on Iran and efforts to contain the fallout, Abdelatty reiterated Egypt's firm stance against escalation. 'Egypt has condemned the unjustified Israeli aggression on Iran, which only adds fuel to the fire in an already volatile region,' he said. He stressed Egypt's rejection of military solutions, reaffirming support for the ongoing US-Iranian negotiation track, in which Egypt is directly engaged through active channels with Washington, Tehran, and Muscat. Abdelatty noted that Cairo is conducting intense diplomatic engagements to prevent the region from sliding into full-scale war. The minister also revealed recent communications with the foreign ministers of Jordan and Qatar, and the vice president of Palestine, all aimed at coordinating regional de-escalation efforts. 'The region already faces enough challenges. There is no benefit in a cycle of action and reaction,' he warned. Abdelatty emphasized Egypt's commitment to fostering a stable and attractive investment climate. He highlighted recent legislative reforms that have removed bureaucratic barriers and created comprehensive guarantees for foreign investors, particularly German businesses. 'There is a favorable environment for German companies to expand their footprint in Egypt. We invite more German firms to take advantage of Egypt's strategic position as a gateway to African and Middle Eastern markets,' Abdelatty said. He also pointed out broad agreement among regional and international partners on upholding the sovereignty of states and preventing nuclear proliferation. Egypt, he stressed, rejects nuclear armament by any country, including both Israel and Iran, and urges full compliance with the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Addressing the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza, the minister denounced Israel's policies of deliberate starvation and medical blockade as 'inhumane and beyond the bounds of reason.' He called on countries with close ties to Israel, including Germany, to use their influence to push for an end to such policies. 'The current double standards undermine faith in international law and the UN system,' he said, urging Germany to align more visibly with international humanitarian and legal norms. For his part, Wadephul acknowledged the escalating military situation and announced changes to his regional visit plans, including skipping Jordan due to developments. He expressed hope for a ceasefire agreement in Gaza, encouraging Hamas to release hostages and commending Egypt's efforts in this regard. Wadephul reiterated Germany's commitment to the two-state solution as the only path toward sustainable peace. "Germany remains ready to play an active role in building a viable Palestinian state, as it has in the past.' Abdelatty asserted that regional peace hinges on resolving the Palestinian issue and recognizing a sovereign Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. 'No party should have veto power over the rights of the Palestinian people. Without justice for Palestine, there will be no security or stability in the region,' he stressed. Egypt, he added, continues to mobilize international support for recognition of Palestinian statehood and to restore hope amid despair. (MENA) M S H/R G E

Govt grants renewables companies first licenses to sell directly to private sector, ‘speeding up' electricity liberalization
Egypt's government has granted four renewable energy companies permission to contract directly with private industrial consumers in what an informed source described as 'a very big step' toward liberalizing the country's electricity sector. The deal represents a 'slow transition' toward a free energy market, and will likely encourage more actors to enter the sector, said another source, a senior executive at one of the energy companies included in the government's decision. Regulatory groundwork for the development has been in place since 2015 alongside plans, recommended by international lenders, to cut subsidies on electricity rates for individual and corporate consumers. But the government has been slow to implement these policies in an already turbulent economic environment. Both the government and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), which is providing technical support for the policy, announced the deals in recent weeks. The Cabinet said it had awarded contracts for the supply of solar and wind power to heavy, exporting industries to Enara and Taqa Arabia, both Egyptian-owned, AMEA, a Dubai-based company, and Neptune Energy. The providers will be allowed to use state-owned transmission infrastructure via the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) to wheel the power to private-sector consumers: Helwan Fertilizers, Alamein Silicon Products Complex, Ezz Steel, AP Moller (Suez Canal Container Terminal), BEFAR Group and Suez Steel. The informed source said that the companies had applied for an open bid by EgyptERA and were likely chosen on the basis of their experience and financial position. The total investments will be worth around US$388 million, the Cabinet said at the end of May, producing around 400 MW. In exchange for the wheeling services, the private companies will pay EETC the equivalent of around LE0.17 per kWh if they transmit the energy using a High Voltage line, and LE0.0725 if they use the Extra High Voltage line, according to the national electricity regulator, EgyptERA. 'There is talk that the wheeling fee could be updated by EgyptERA because there was a request from EETC to increase it a bit,' according to the informed source. The rate will not bring major revenues to the EETC in fees The real difference will be felt in the electricity sector's business environment, according to the two industry insiders who spoke to Mada Masr. Private generation companies were previously able to contract directly with consumers outside of the government-regulated sector. This meant companies were limited to using client premises which are often too small for the necessary infrastructure, capping the potential generation capacity especially for renewable energy, the executive source said. Now, the source continued, private companies will get to install power stations 'wherever' land is available, and get grid access to transmit power to clients 'wherever they may be.' The informed source noted that land allocations are yet to happen, however, adding that implementation will still take some time for the four companies. They described the projects approved as a pilot round, intended 'to set down all these rules, so that future projects are able to follow it as a blueprint.' But the source noted that there is a direction in government to 'speed up' planned liberalization of the electricity sector in general. They pointed to the recent approval granted in April for the EETC to be separated from the ministry-owned Egyptian Electricity Holding Company, a measure laid out in a 2015 law to turn the EETC into a sector regulator providing wheeling services to private power generation firms, rather than supplying electricity to consumers itself. The EETC's separation is due to be complete in July, according to state media services. In the government's announcement, the Cabinet said the policy was intended to stimulate 'private investment and increase the participation of private companies in energy projects' in order to 'to enhance competitiveness' in the sector. They also framed the step as part of efforts toward green transition and sustainable development. Egypt currently relies on natural gas, a heavier pollutant than coal, for 79 percent of its power needs. As Egypt's oil and gas production declined in recent years, the government has been increasingly relying on imported fuel to meet rising domestic consumption.
