Resilience and Stability Amidst Geopolitical Volatility

Muhammad BinGhatti
Muhammad BinGhatti
CEO, Binghatti
In conversation with CNBC Arabia
Are geopolitical tensions threatening real estate momentum?
To be honest, at the moment, we haven't noticed this. We were launching the Binghatti Sky Flame project before these conditions, and we sold half the project during the first phase. We are still closing deals at these same prices — sales operations are ongoing with no change in pricing or slowdown.
How has your operational capacity been affected?
On the contrary, we increased our workforce by about 5,000 productive workers to expedite projects scheduled for Q2 delivery. We own eight factories for aluminum, steel, carpentry, and other industries. We have a workforce of about 30,000 within our subsidiary contracting companies.
What about Sukuk repayments and liquidity?
Our first Sukuk matures in February 2027, and we will settle these bonds on time. The liquidity available in escrow accounts is approximately 9 billion AED. The value of the four projects we will deliver in Q2 is 5 billion AED — over 90% sold. We currently see no need for new issuances.
Where is pressure concentrated — mid-market or luxury?
Over the past two years, we restructured our portfolio so that approximately two-thirds is mid-market. Properties in the 1-3 million AED range are less susceptible to fluctuations regardless of market conditions. This now makes up two-thirds of our portfolio and covers the company's performance.

Why We Built an Academy Before We Built a Brand?

Most brokerage firms invest in listings. We decided to invest in people first. MAB Academy was built from a conviction: the chronic problem in Dubai's real estate sector is not a shortage of agents — it is a shortage of professionals.
