Tenant Relations and Customer Services Manager

Dubai Holding Asset Management owns and operates a diverse portfolio of retail, residential and commercial destinations, emphasising its profound influence on Dubai’s urban and economic landscape.

In May 2025, it was incorporated into "Dubai Residential REIT," a real estate investment trust with Dubai Holding Asset Management as the ultimate majority strategic unitholder. Now listed on the Dubai Financial Market (DFM), it is the GCC’s largest and first pure-play residential leasing REIT.

Dubai Holding Asset Management’s retail portfolio, unified under the Dubai Retail brand, is one of the largest and most diverse in the city. With a mix of 56 malls, lifestyle destinations and retail centres, Dubai Retail plays a key role in shaping the city’s urban and economic landscape.

Dubai Holding Asset Management is also the majority strategic shareholder in TECOM Group PJSC, a DFM-listed company, which develops and operates sector-focused business districts across six key sectors, including technology, media, education, manufacturing, science and design.
