• New model offers mentees greater ownership of their development journey, deeper engagement and stronger connections

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 28 April 2025: Following the successful conclusion of Mentorship 2.0, Emaar has announced the launch of its Focused Mentorship 3.0, reaffirming its commitment to nurturing Emirati talent and building a resilient, future- ready workforce. The initiative is part of Emaar’s broader efforts to foster professional growth and knowledge exchange, while building a strong leadership pipeline within the organisation.

Inspired by the vision of Mr. Mohamed Alabbar, Founder of Emaar, to cultivate a supportive community among UAE Nationals, Emaar launched its Mentorship Programme in 2023. The initiative empowers Emirati employees by fostering an environment where they can guide, support, and inspire each other through a group mentoring concept. This programme reflects Mr. Alabbar’s dedication to nurturing talent and giving back to the nation.

The programme has evolved into Emaar Focused Mentorship 3.0 to reflect its dynamic new model, which empowers mentees to choose mentors that align with their specific learning needs, career aspirations, or project requirements. In this model, mentors have been carefully selected based on specific skill sets that can help mentees build critical capabilities, enhanced business understanding ultimately, driving greater value for the organisation. This personalised approach enhances cross-departmental collaboration and offers mentees more targeted guidance to accelerate their growth.

Unlike traditional mentorships, this is a bold, unconventional, and truly distinctive initiative — a first-of-its-kind approach that sets a new benchmark in organisational development. It aims to deliver skill sets not only through classroom sessions but through a blended approach of immersions, fireside chats, learning labs, and on-the- job exposure, offering mentees a holistic and immersive learning experience.

The inaugural Mentorship 1.0 cohort enrolled 66 UAE Nationals, with numbers doubling in the next edition — Mentorship 2.0 — which saw the active participation of 23 certified mentors and 133 mentees from diverse departments and disciplines.

The programme’s design centres on building meaningful relationships based on trust, guidance, and mutual growth.

“At its core, our mentorship programme is about empowering individuals to reach their potential while cultivating a culture of continuous learning,” said Mr. Alabbar. “The success of Mentorship 2.0 reflects the enthusiasm, dedication, and collaborative spirit of our people, and we are excited to build on that momentum with Focused Mentorship 3.0.”

Mentors reported a deeply enriching experience as they engaged with talents across departments, elevating their leadership capabilities while supporting the development of their peers. All mentors participating in the programme are certified through the John Maxwell leadership methodology, underscoring Emaar’s commitment to world- class mentoring standards.

Mentees equally expressed gratitude for the guidance and insight they received. One participant shared: “My mentor played a crucial role in assisting me in identifying solutions to various challenges I encountered.”

Notably, the programme’s impact on career growth is already evident: 75% of UAE Nationals promoted in recent months had participated in past mentorship cohorts — either as mentors or mentees. The programme also received a satisfaction score of 4.4 out of 5, reflecting high levels of trust and engagement among participants.

In collaboration with leading global companies, Emaar has continued to expand the programme’s reach into technical skill development — ensuring mentees are equipped with future-ready capabilities.

Focused Mentorship 3.0 will introduce enhanced tools, tailored development pathways, and increased inter-departmental collaboration. This cohort is set to get bigger and better, featuring new partnerships, fireside chats with industry leaders, immersive learning experiences, and social impact activities that further enrich the journey.

With approximately 200 UAE Nationals expected to join, the programme will span six months, continuing to unlock new potential while supporting Emaar’s vision of being an employer of choice for top local talent.

  • A visionary masterpiece where luxury meets unprecedented equestrian living

Dubai, United Arab Emirates – 23 April 2025: The world’s leading real estate developer, Emaar, has unveiled its newest masterplan, Grand Polo Club & Resort – a collection of exclusive luxury villa communities with polo and equestrian heritage at its core. Spanning a sprawling 5.54 million SqM and strategically located minutes away from the upcoming expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport, this visionary masterpiece is set to establish a new standard of residential experience.

It is also surrounded by other Emaar masterplans such as The Oasis and The Heights Country Club & Wellness, while being a few minutes’ drive from Emaar South, Dubai Marina, and Downtown.

Comprising 22 villa communities and over 6,600 exclusive residences, the game of polo and a passion for all things equestrian form the heart of this new destination. At the centre of this master community lies “The Green Core,” which consists of three expansive polo fields, private stables, a riding school, and a luxurious clubhouse.

“By using landscape berms and expansive lawns, The Green Core was created to foster a harmonious environment that emphasises the beauty of the exclusive equestrian experiences it offers. Positioned at the heart of the masterplan, it enhances the aesthetic appeal while promoting a sense of community and connection to nature,” said a spokesperson from Emaar Development.

The landscape narrative is an equestrian journey that traverses through a multi-sensory environment, offering surprises at every turn and creating an everlasting memory as you glide through moments of grandeur.

With a total open space amounting to 1.59 million SqM, the landscape plan is further segmented into pedestrian and cycling networks, riding trails, countryside meadows, and outer pastures. The polo fields and stables occupy an impressive 340,000 SqM combined.

The Clubhouse is crafted for an ultra-luxury guest and spectator experience. This single-storey building is a modern marvel that draws inspiration from both global and local architectural excellence. A fundamental element of the Clubhouse design is the custom-made clay breeze blocks, derived from the horseshoe, which stand out distinctively on the façades. With a rooftop infinity pool overlooking the fields and swanky F&B options, this hospitality destination will be Dubai’s newest sought-after scene.

The Stables are an architectural gem inspired by spiral geometric control. The organic design encircles a large, landscaped courtyard with a stunning water feature. This iconic design is set to become a significant global landmark in the equestrian realm. Able to accommodate 180 horses, the Stables also feature a plush members’ lounge.

“Circular elements were used to convey expansiveness, frame important landscape moments, and incorporate water features that create a playful, inviting scenery,” added the Emaar Development spokesperson.

Regal residences at Grand Polo Club & Resort range from 3-, 4- and 5-bedroom exclusive villas with views, connectivity, and spaces where light and air engage in thematic play throughout. While some homes allow you to wake up to the energy of horses and the vastness of horizontal greens, others place you in close proximity to key amenities such as linear parks, countryside meadows, outer pastures, the community centre, clubhouse, and more.

Here, seamless landscapes are envisioned to offer a contemporary take on classic polo grounds. Inspired by natural elements and the textures of soil, this new masterplan is set to define the monumentality of the vision.

As Emaar continues to shape the future of luxury living, this new residential community is a thoughtfully designed homage to the heritage of the spectacular game of polo and the equestrian-loving fellowship. Grand Polo Club & Resort is crafted to harness the free spirit and speed of the horse. This is where equestrian opulence reaches far beyond imagination.

• Four-month rent waiver to support over 50 tenants with Lake and Fountain-facing
terraces

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 23 April 2025: Emaar Malls Management (LLC) has announced a dedicated rent support initiative for Food & Beverage (F&B) tenants with terrace spaces facing the Lake and Fountain areas at Dubai Mall and Souk Al Bahar. The move comes in light of the closure of Dubai Fountain, which has long served as a key attraction for visitors to these venues.

To help offset the potential impact on footfall and terrace-based dining experiences, Emaar will waive the rent for affected terrace spaces for a period of four months, from June through September 2025.

In addition, Emaar is introducing new measures to further enhance the visitor experience in the area. This includes the installation of 400 metres of state-of-the-art digital screens across the promenade, designed to animate the location with engaging visual content and help retailers maintain footfall during the fountain’s closure.

The Lake and Fountain-facing terraces have long been prized for their vibrant ambiance, offering guests front-row views of Dubai Fountain’s spectacular shows and the serene waterfront setting. With these elements having played a vital role in attracting diners and enhancing the overall visitor experience, Emaar’s gesture underscores its commitment to supporting its tenants through evolving market dynamics.

Supporting Tenants Amid Changing Dynamics

“For years, Dubai Fountain and surrounding lake have contributed significantly to the popularity of these destinations,” said Mohamed Alabbar. “As we move into a new chapter, this rent support reflects our commitment to long-term partnerships and to helping tenants navigate this transition with resilience and confidence.”

A Continued Commitment to Excellence

The terraces at Dubai Mall and Souk Al Bahar continue to offer unmatched city views, world- class cuisine, and a unique atmosphere. With this support and the introduction of immersive digital enhancements, tenants are well-positioned to continue delivering memorable experiences while adapting to the changing dynamics of the area.

Emaar Malls remains steadfast in its commitment to empowering businesses with sustainable solutions that foster growth and value across its retail communities.
