In many ways, this partnership is a reflection of shared ideals shaped by legacy and driven by purpose,' Adil Taqi, Chief Executive Officer of BEYOND Developments, added. Guided by Dubai's bold vision and shaped by commitment to exceptional waterfront living, BEYOND, brings a fresh perspective to Ascot, one that blends refined design with a lifestyle shaped by clarity, creativity, and connection to place.

BEYOND, a new venture under the OMNIYAT Group, represents the next evolution in Dubai's real estate landscape, committed to creating spaces that go beyond living, offering experiences that inspire, connect, and elevate the everyday. Royal Ascot 2025, taking place from Tuesday, June 17 to Saturday June 21, remains one of the most anticipated events on the international racing and social calendar, welcoming over 300,000 racegoers and reaching a global audience of more than 650 million households.
