From the Community Management Desk
Valued Residents,
I would like to take a moment to reflect on what truly defines our communities: a shared sense of resilience, warmth and belonging – qualities that continue to shape our neighbourhoods today.
Dubai’s strength lies not only in its world-class infrastructure, but in the foresight and resilience of its leadership, which ensures stability and continuity, instilling a deep sense of confidence and reassurance for all who call this city home.
In times where stability matters most, the sense of care and continuity within our communities becomes even more important. I would like to reassure you that our teams remain fully on site, ensuring communities continue to operate seamlessly and essential services run as expected, while supporting your needs.
As the UAE marks the Year of Family, we are reminded of the role our communities play in everyday life, the bonds we share, the connections we nurture and the experiences we create together. These are what matter most and we remain committed to supporting and celebrating them every day.
Thank you for your continued trust and for being an integral part of our community. Together, we will continue to create spaces that feel safe, connected and truly like home.
Warm regards,
Francis Giani Chief Executive Officer

Avoid Sharing Photos During Sensitive Situations.
Sharing photos may reveal information that can be exploited, such as geographical locations or individuals’ movements.
• Ride only in designated areas
• Follow speed limits and slow down near pedestrians
• Wear safety gear, especially helmets
• Park neatly in approved parking zones
E-scooter related violations can result in penalties of up to 2,000.
E-scooters are a convenient and eco-friendly way to get around the community and many of us use them every day. But with this convenience comes a huge responsibility.
Recent incidents in residential areas have shown just how dangerous it can be when safety is overlooked. Whether you’re a rider or a resident sharing the footpaths, your and your neighbours' safety matters.
To ensure everyone’s safety and comfort, residents are reminded to follow the community guidelines when using e-scooters.
• Do not ride on pedestrian-only walkways
• Do not leave e-scooters blocking entrances or pathways
• Do not allow children to ride unsupervised or outside permitted age rules
Holding Strong Through a Week’s Rain
Over five consecutive days between 22 and 27 March, Dubai experienced continuous rainfall, with conditions intensifying over time. Dubai Holding Community Management responded through a co-ordinated 24/7 rain mitigation effort with an on-ground presence of more than 1,550 team members and partners that remained actively deployed to protect our residents, maintain access across our communities and ensure continuity of essential services.
As rainfall intensified, operations were scaled in real time with 180 dewatering tankers and more than 260 pumps deployed across communities to manage water accumulation, maintain accessibility and minimise disruption, with resident safety remaining the priority at every stage.
Behind the scenes, our teams remained closely connected 24/7 through our Customer Engagement teams, supporting residents, addressing concerns and managing over 420 inbound calls, ensuring clear communication throughout.
Because at the heart of every response is one priority: the safety and wellbeing of our residents.
