Shaikhani Group, a Dubai-based real estate developer, is eyeing investors from Pakistan as more and more Pakistani investors buy property in the UAE.
The developer exhibited its properties in Abad-Jang Expo, a real estate exhibition held in Islamabad from Friday to Sunday last week.
The expo is the largest real estate show in Pakistan, with a visitor footfall of 30,000. The show attracts property developers, builders, town planners, contractors, interior designers and allied industries from the Middle East, including the UAE.
Mahmood Abu Baker Shaikhani, managing director of Shaikhani Group, said: “Dubai is a favorite destination for Pakistanis due to the city’s position as one of the most secure cities in the world, high standards of living, high yields on property investments and historic relations between the UAE and Pakistan. In this scenario, we see a high potential in Pakistani home buyers.”
Gardenia Residency at Jumeirah Village Circle has studios, in addition to one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Gardenia Residency aims to make a definitive statement of luxury coupled with Mediterranean allure. It is immaculately designed and features a lifestyle boutique, private terraces, gardens, landscaped parks, secure car parking, retail area and restaurants.
Gardenia Residency comes with an attractive 50:50 payment plan that allows property buyers to pay up to Dh399,500 ($108,769) or 50 percent in instalments till project handover with the balance payable after the handover.
“Gardenia project is the most suitable choice for end-users and small families to shift from rented homes to their own freehold homes without putting much strain on their finance — which is a major issue with fixed-income small families,” Shaikhani said.
Shaikhani Group is developing 11 projects that will deliver 2,100 residential and commercial units in Dubai Sports City, Jumeirah Village Circle and Dubai Silicon Oasis.
In February this year, Shaikhani Group announced the delivery of 135 residential units housed in Champion Tower 1 where residents are expected to move in over the coming weeks, the statement said.
Jumeirah Village Circle, located in the heart of new Dubai, is surrounded by Mohammad bin Zayed Road, Al Khail Road and Al Barsha Road. It is close to the new Al Maktoum International Airport and the Expo 2020 site, and connects well to all the neighborhoods due to the strong road networks surrounding it.

How TCS is helping GCC businesses turn sustainability ambition into action
As GCC countries advance toward ambitious goals like Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the UAE’s Vision 2031, sustainability is no longer optional: it’s essential. Businesses across the region are increasingly expected to show tangible progress on their environmental and social commitments. But turning these ambitions into measurable outcomes remains a challenge.
Many GCC organizations are committed to sustainability but struggle with fragmented and inconsistent ESG data. Information is often captured manually or stored in silos, disconnected from key business metrics. This makes it difficult to track progress, meet disclosure requirements, or gain a holistic view of impact. Adding to this complexity is a shifting regulatory landscape, with global ESG standards becoming more structured and mandatory.
The solution: smarter sustainability through technology
Tata Consultancy Services believes that technology is the key to solving these challenges. By leveraging advanced digital tools, including AI, IoT, blockchain, and cloud-based platforms, TCS helps organizations automate ESG data collection, unify information across departments, and generate actionable insights.
For example, the TCS Zero Carbon Platform enables businesses to monitor Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions accurately and in real time. The platform provides a single, transparent view of sustainability performance and ensures that the data is audit ready. TCS also brings deep capabilities in digital twins: virtual models that allow businesses to simulate energy consumption and test decarbonization strategies in a risk-free environment.
These digital solutions also improve data accuracy and transmission, even in offshore or hard-to-access environments, while enabling predictive insights into program performance and ROI.
To ensure consistency and global credibility, TCS also helps organizations align their sustainability efforts with internationally recognized frameworks such as GRI, ISSB, SBTi, TCFD, and IFRS. This alignment goes beyond compliance, embedding ESG into enterprise architecture and business strategy.
TCS–TÜV SÜD: services for impact
To strengthen the credibility and assurance of data sustainability, TCS has partnered with TÜV SÜD, a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification. This collaboration brings together TCS’s digital innovation with TÜV SÜD’s technical validation and third-party certification expertise.
Together, they offer an end-to-end sustainability solution that enables organizations to capture and analyze emissions data using the TCS Zero Carbon Platform, validate results through TÜV SÜD’s independent assessments, and ensure compliance with evolving global ESG regulations, which will build trust with stakeholders through transparent, certified reporting.
Whether it’s conducting energy audits, supporting ESG risk mitigation, or designing a decarbonization roadmap, the TCS–TÜV SÜD approach empowers Middle East businesses to move confidently and efficiently toward their net-zero goals.
What GCC businesses should focus on
With regulatory expectations rising and stakeholders demanding more transparency, organizations in the GCC need to be proactive in how they approach sustainability. One key priority is automated ESG reporting, moving away from manual processes toward integrated systems that ensure data consistency, traceability, and auditability.
Another critical focus area is managing Scope 3 emissions, which requires companies to take accountability for their entire value chain, from suppliers to end-users. Finally, businesses must prioritize building data-backed narratives, using verifiable, high-quality ESG data to clearly communicate their sustainability progress and build trust with stakeholders.
The TCS advantage
TCS combines global experience with regional understanding to help GCC businesses embed sustainability into their core operations. From platforms like TCS Clever Energy and TCS Envirozone, to partnerships with TÜV SÜD and beyond, TCS enables organizations to transform their ESG goals into measurable, impactful outcomes.
As sustainability investment accelerates across areas like clean energy, carbon capture, and sustainable aviation fuels, TCS is well-positioned to guide GCC businesses in navigating this evolving landscape.
By bringing together digital innovation, strong partnerships, and deep industry expertise, TCS helps businesses in the GCC not only keep up, but lead, in the era of sustainable transformation.
