Symbolic Developments launches AED 210mln Symbolic Zen Residences in Al Furjan
Dubai, UAE - Dubai's Al Furjan neighborhood is set to welcome a striking new residential development as Symbolic Developments unveils Symbolic Zen Residences - a thoughtfully designed, AED 210 million project that blends modern luxury with the philosophy of mindful living. This launch marks the developer's third project in Dubai and second within Al Furjan's master community. It follows the overwhelming success of Symbolic Aura, which was sold out swiftly, and the ahead-of-schedule handover of their debut project Symbolic Alpha in Liwan which was delivered in just 14 months.
Symbolic Developments, the real estate division of the Speedex Group, has emerged as a developer that prioritizes more than just brick and mortar. With a sharp focus on community, well-being, and sustainability, the brand continues to build spaces that feel as good to live in as they look.
With Symbolic Zen Residences, Symbolic brings to life homes that nourish physically, emotionally and spiritually. Located along Al Asayel Street in Al Furjan, the project features just 82 exclusive homes, offering 2.5-bedroom apartments and 3.5-bedroom garden residences. The homes are fully furnished, Vaastu-compliant and feature closed kitchen, en-suite bedrooms, panoramic balconies, and expansive 12-foot ceilings that flood the spaces with light and openness. Adding to the sense of serenity are French windows, private garden terraces, and a floor plan that maximizes ventilation and views - all part of what Symbolic calls their 'Zen Garden Residences' theme.
'At Symbolic, we don't just build structures - we craft spaces that resonate with the way people truly want to live,' says Murtaza Moiz, Vice Chairman of Symbolic Developments and Speedex Group. 'Each of our projects reflects our commitment to creating something genuinely meaningful places that promote well-being, foster a sense of belonging, and stand the test of time. Zen Residence s brings that vision to life by offering not just luxury, but a lifestyle rooted in balance, comfort, and community. It's about building homes people are proud to return to every single day.'
'We've designed Symbolic Zen Residences to stand out not just in aesthetics, but in the experience it offers residents,' adds Karan Arora, Head of Sales and Marketing at Symbolic Developments. 'From 12-foot-high ceilings and panoramic balconies to a first habitable floor elevated 50 ft above ground, every element has been chosen to amplify comfort, privacy, and openness. It's a low-density community with just 82 homes each fully furnished, Vaastu-compliant, and equipped with smart home automation. Even the plot itself was carefully selected, a coveted corner plot with roads on three sides, offering unobstructed views and natural light from all angles. Emphasis on these minute details reflect how Symbolic Developments' commitment to redefining what premium city living can truly be."
Symbolic Zen Residences is designed to be a wellness-focused sanctuary. The development includes temperature-controlled pools, a yoga and meditation deck, a jogging track, kids' play area, a jacuzzi, and steam and sauna rooms. Residents can enjoy peaceful areas to relax, recharge, or connect with neighbors fostering a welcoming and uplifting atmosphere.
'Sustainability is woven throughout the project. As part of Symbolic's broader commitment to green development, the residences include EV charging stations, smart energy solutions, and environmentally responsible materials; a forward-looking approach that aligns with the UAE's growing emphasis on sustainable living', affirmed Murtaza Moiz.
Strategically located just 2 minutes away from Discovery Gardens Metro Station, the development offers seamless access to Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, DIFC, Expo City, and major airports — making it ideal for both families and professionals. Retail showrooms on the ground floor add convenience, while the elevated podium level ensures privacy and quiet above the bustle of the city.
With Symbolic Zen Residences, Symbolic Developments continues to establish itself as a trusted name in timely delivery, architectural elegance, and community-driven innovation shaping a future where luxury and sustainability live in harmony.

Nearly half of UAE consumers feel AI not meeting their customer service expectations
More than half (54 per cent) of UAE consumers say that failing to understand emotional cues is more of an AI trait than human, a study showed. According to research by ServiceNow, the AI platform for business transformation, Despite rapid advancements in AI and its widespread use in customer service, UAE consumers overwhelmingly (at least 68 per cent) prefer to interact with people for customer support. ServiceNow's Consumer Voice Report 2025 surveyed 17,000 adults across 13 countries in EMEA — including 1000 in the UAE — and explores consumer expectations when it comes to AI's role in customer experience (CX). Based on the findings of the research, the perceived lack of AI's general emotional intelligence (EQ) is a critical factor in shaping consumer sentiment in this regard. Fifty one per cent feel agents having a limited understanding of context is more likely to be AI; and an equal number say misunderstanding slang, idioms and informal language is more likely AI. Meanwhile, nearly two thirds (64 per cent) of UAE consumers feel repetitive or scripted responses are more of an AI trait. 'The key takeaway for business leaders is that AI can no longer be just another customer service tool – it has to be an essential partner to the human agent. The future of customer relationships now lies at the intersection of AI and emotional intelligence (EQ). Consumers no longer want AI that just gets the job done; they want AI that understands them,' commented William O'Neill, Area VP, UAE at ServiceNow. High stakes, low trust The report also highlights a clear AI trust gap, particularly for urgent or complex requests. UAE consumers embrace AI for speed and convenience in low-risk/routine tasks — 23 per cent of UAE consumers trust an AI chatbot for scheduling a car service appointment and 24 per cent say they are happy to use an AI chatbot for tracking a lost or delayed package. However, when it comes to more sensitive or urgent tasks, consumer confidence in AI drops. Only 13 per cent would trust AI to dispute a suspicious transaction on their bank account with 43 per cent instead preferring to handle this in-person. Similarly, when it comes to troubleshooting a home internet issue, only 20 per cent of consumers across the Emirates are happy to rely on an AI chatbot, with 50 per cent preferring to troubleshoot the issue with someone on the phone. Humans and AI For all the frustrations with AI — almost half (47 per cent) of UAE consumers say their customer service interactions with AI chatbots have not met their expectations — the research does suggest that consumers consider AI as crucial for organizations looking to deliver exceptional customer experiences. For one, in addition to seamless service (90 per cent), quick response times (89 per cent) and accurate information (88 per cent), more than three quarter (76 per cent) of UAE consumers expect the organizations they deal with to provide a good chatbot service. But perhaps more interestingly, 85 per cent of consumers across the Emirates expect the option for self-service problem solving, which does indicate the need for organizations to integrate AI insights and data analysis into service channels to anticipate customer needs before they arise. 'While AI in customer service is currently falling short of consumer expectations, it is not failing. Rather, it is evolving. There is an opportunity for businesses to refine AI by empowering it with the right information, making it more adaptive, emotionally aware, and seamlessly integrated with human agents to take/recommend the next best action and deliver unparalleled customer relationships,' added O'Neill. 'Consumers do not want less AI – they want AI that works smarter. By understanding the biggest pain points, companies can make AI a trusted ally rather than a frustrating barrier.'
