Master Planning – Dubai / New York

Meraas, founded in 2007, is a Dubai-based conglomerate now part of Dubai Holding under His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum's leadership. The company invests across real estate, retail, hospitality, leisure, and healthcare, with a strong track record of high-profile developments including City Walk, Bluewaters Island, and Dubai Harbour - the Middle East's largest marina. Current projects include Al Sheba Gardens and Madinat Jumeirah Living, maintaining its commitment to luxury mixed-use developments.

As a founding member and CEO at Meraas, TopLand’s leadership team established the company's foundational operational framework during its formative years. We collectively formulated real estate investment strategies and implemented corporate structures supporting diverse business ventures. Our responsibilities included setting up operational systems, legal and risk frameworks, and recruitment strategies to attract top talent. We also played a key role in real estate acquisition and portfolio diversification, including securing a landmark property portfolio with extremely favorable structures, in New York, USA.
