BT Properties unveils flagship community project in Dubai South
BT Properties, a leading development group in Asia, has unveiled its flagship project 'Waada,' in Dubai South, located minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport and the Expo 2020 Legacy District.
Announcing the launch, BT Properties said it marks a significant milestone in the company's expansion into the UAE market and reflects its commitment to contributing to the region's real estate landscape.
The flagship project 'Waada' – a name derived from the word meaning 'promise' – embodies a steadfast commitment to creating lasting value and cultivating vibrant, integrated communities.
'Waada' will be an exquisite development that integrates architecture, sustainability, and livability, said the developer.
The development includes a diverse mix of property types – from signature mansions and mid-rise residences to townhouses and skyline apartments, it stated.
Designed with a focus on emotional resonance and practical luxury, architecture and spatial planning aim to foster a sense of safety and belonging. Open spaces, landscaped lagoons, and a carefully curated urban environment enhance visual appeal and overall well-being, it added.
With over 30 years of experience in delivering large-scale, integrated, people-centric developments across Pakistan, BT Properties is bringing its legacy of trust and innovation to Dubai, said its top official.
"For over 30 years, I have believed that the true measure of success is not what we build, but who we uplift. Bahria Town was never just a real estate venture - it was a mission to transform lives, restore dignity, and give people a sense of belonging," remarked its Chairman & Founder Malik Riaz Hussain.
"Every city we developed was built on trust, every road on resilience, and every home on hope. And today, as this legacy expands into Dubai through BT Properties and Waada, our purpose remains unchanged: to build not just structures, but futures. I dedicate this journey to the millions who trusted us, to every worker who shaped our cities, and to every citizen who now calls them home," he added.
The unveiling event was led by Group CEO Ahmed Ali Riaz Malik, who described the project as 'a living promise built not just on architectural plans but on three decades of earned trust, scale, and experience'.
Malik said: "At BT Properties, our mission has always been to create developments that go beyond structures. We have always strived to shape communities that reflect innovation, purpose, and long-term value."
"With 'Waada,' we are proud to bring our legacy to Dubai and contribute meaningfully to its evolving real estate landscape. This project represents our continued commitment to building environments where people can thrive," he added.

Kidana completes first phase of tent project in Mina
Saudi-based Kidana Development Company, the executive arm of the Royal Commission for Makkah City and Holy Sites, has successfully completed the first phase of its double-storey tent project at Mina in the Makkah province, representing approximately 75% of the total project carried out in partnership with the private sector. The project is part of a comprehensive development plan designed to enrich the pilgrim experience, increase capacity, and improve the quality of accommodation services in Mina, thus ensuring a comfortable and safe residential environment for pilgrims, said a statement from Kidana. The first phase, developed in collaboration with a national company, covers more than 20,000 sq m and includes over 40 buildings equipped with more than 550 restrooms. The construction was completed in approximately 100 days using various techniques that accelerated implementation and delivered robust, flexible solutions capable of withstanding weather fluctuations, it stated. During the Hajj season, approximately 8,000 pilgrims from various Hajj packages, both domestic and international, are expected to use the site, it added. According to Kidana, this limited deployment will serve as a critical test of the project's effectiveness and its suitability for meeting the diverse needs of pilgrims, potentially paving the way for expansion across the holy sites. The full project is scheduled for completion by next year's Hajj season, with an expected capacity of up to 20,000 pilgrims. The double-storey tent initiative is set to significantly enhance the quality of accommodation services in the holy sites, enriching the pilgrim experience by providing a safe and organized residential environment that supports their well-being and meets diverse needs.
