Top-Up Ceremony of Starlight Park

 

Starlight Park, AMWAJ’s flagship community development in Meydan District 11, has now officially topped out, with 100% of the superstructure completed across all four buildings. This milestone underscores AMWAJ’s efficiency and commitment to quality, as the project remains well ahead of schedule toward its Q2 2026 completion target. With 44% of the total construction progress achieved, interior and MEP works are now in full swing.

  

Representatives from Emsquare Engineering Consultants and Sumer Contracting Company, the main contractor, were also present alongside hundreds of site workers and staff, who were honoured with over 400 celebratory meals in recognition of their dedication.

 

Starlight Park comprises four residential towers (B+G+5+R), offering a total of 172 thoughtfully designed apartments in a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom configurations. The ground floor will host eight retail spaces, adding convenience and vibrancy to the community. Residents will enjoy an extensive range of amenities, including rooftop swimming pools, gyms, a rooftop cinema, yoga and boxing studios, and dedicated indoor and outdoor play areas for children. The development also includes EV charging stations, a padel tennis court, and other community-centric features, delivering a truly elevated living experience.

 

“Starlight Park sets a new standard for luxury mid-market living. We're delivering on our promises, ahead of schedule, and residents can trust that we are committed to exceeding expectations at every step,” said Murad Saleh, CEO of AMWAJ Development. “Our vision is to reimagine Dubai’s mid-market segment with intelligent design, top-tier amenities, and timely delivery.”

With over AED 500 million invested in the last two years and a target of AED 1 billion by 2026, AMWAJ Development is expanding rapidly across Dubai’s premium mid-market sector delivering more than 2.5 million square feet of residential space across Dubai.

Groundbreaking of The Cube Residences

 

Simultaneously, AMWAJ marked the official start of construction at The Cube Residences, its second residential project, located in one of Dubai’s emerging urban hubs in District 11, MBR.

 

Following the successful completion of enabling works, including full shoring and excavation, the groundbreaking signals the start of vertical construction.

 

The Cube Residences is scheduled for completion in Q4 2026 and will feature a contemporary mid-rise residential building designed with a curated mix of fully furnished one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. The development emphasises smart layouts that prioritise efficiency, functionality, and sustainability, while offering premium finishes and high-quality materials throughout, reflecting AMWAJ Development’s ongoing commitment to design excellence and modern urban living.

GEHRY PARTNERS DESIGNED NEXT PHASE OF BATTERSEA POWER STATION DEVELOPMENT TO PROGRESS FOLLOWING PLANNING CONSENT

• Two new Gehry Partners designed buildings will be delivered at Battersea Power Station, adding to the existing collection, following planning consent
• Consent includes dedicated senior living accommodation, a first for Battersea Power Station, as part of a new multi-generational community
• New retail spaces, completion of London’s newest town centre high street, Electric Boulevard, alongside new public community facilities also integral to new phase
• Battersea Power Station remains the only residential project in the UK by globally recognised, Gehry Partners
• Construction expected to start later this year with completion anticipated in 2029

 

May 2025: Planning consent for the next phase of Battersea Power Station has been granted, marking another major step in delivering the vision for the 42-acre regeneration project.

Battersea Power Station is to bring forward a new phase of residential, retail, community and leisure development having secured detailed planning approval from Wandsworth Council, completing Electric Boulevard, London’s newest high street.

This latest phase adds two new Gehry Partners designed residential buildings comprising 306 new homes. They will form an extension to the highly recognisable existing two buildings at Prospect Place, which are fully sold and occupied, and remain the only residential buildings in the UK designed by Frank Gehry, the world-famous architect and designer of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. The ongoing focus on sustainability means these latest designs have a more modern aesthetic to reduce the carbon footprint while green roofs will also be present throughout both buildings, contributing to a minimum 10% biodiversity net gain.

Gehry Partners’ latest additions to the Battersea Power Station streetscape will juxtapose white sculptural facades, in a postmodern interpretation of John Nash’s neo-classical terraces that are stereotypical of Regency London, in contrast to the stark industrial brick architecture of the historic Power Station.

In a first for Battersea Power Station and in line with the project’s objective of creating a truly multigenerational community around the iconic Power Station, one of the new buildings, Prospect Place 3, is proposed to include senior living apartments, to be managed by a specialist operator for over 65s and includes access to additional care and on-site facilities.

The second building, Prospect Place 4, will offer 122 new homes. As with Gehry Partners’ first two buildings at Battersea Power Station, every home within this latest phase will be unique in design. Both buildings will sit on a communal podium, part of which extends to form a private garden square for residents.

Positioned opposite to the new office building, 50 Electric Boulevard, which is over 50% let, and the western entrance of Battersea Power Station’s London Underground station that is due to open later this summer, this latest approval allows Battersea Power Station to complete the development of London’s newest high street, Electric Boulevard, adding 70,000 sq ft of new commercial space for shops, cafés and restaurants. Existing shops on the high street include children’s clothing brand Lindex, Zara, Massimo Dutti, Boots Beauty and Borough Kitchen with more to come including WatchHouse, The Salad Project and R.W. Wolf barbers.

This newest phase further extends Battersea Power Station’s objective of creating new facilities and opportunities for the local area, expanding the existing community and cultural programme with the addition of a 15,000 sq ft Community Hub. This new civic space will be designed in partnership with Wandsworth Council. Local stakeholders will be consulted on the concept, vision and on the appointment of a specialist community cultural operator, who will curate a programme offering a wide range of events and activities to complement the existing offer.

To encourage sustainable and healthy travel to and from Battersea Power Station, the new community facilities include an expanded Bike Hub, adjacent to the new Community Hub, which will have 600 spaces available for all, free of charge.

Through its delivery and beyond, this phase will create over 400 jobs, adding to the existing total of over 6,800 jobs Battersea Power Station has provided to date as well as adding to the 2,500 residents who already call it home.

Construction is expected to start later this year with completion anticipated in 2029.

Frank Gehry, Founder of Gehry Partners, LLP, said:

“I am very happy that the next phase of the Battersea project is underway. These two buildings will help our masterplan, which was designed to create the feeling of a neighbourhood, come to fruition. In keeping the same body language of the original, we have continued the white material of these buildings, referencing the incredible history of the Nash Terraces. The winter gardens help break down the scale of the facades while also giving each unit a beautiful, light-filled space. Our goal from the beginning has been to make something that is unique to London and unique to this incredible new district in the city. I hope that we make the city proud.”

James Wixley, Head of Development at Battersea Power Station Development Company (BPSDC), said:

“This milestone is the next step in realising the long-term vision for Battersea Power Station. With detailed planning consent now secured, we’re extending Gehry Partners’ distinctive architectural legacy, adding new homes while introducing senior living for the first time, and completing Electric Boulevard — London’s newest high street. As well as lots of new opportunities in the form of shops, restaurants and jobs, the phase also includes a new Community Hub to support local events and activities which will be designed in close partnership with Wandsworth Council and the wider community.

We are moving beyond the halfway point in delivering the masterplan and, together with our Malaysian shareholders, we look forward to starting on site in the coming months as we work towards another key milestone at this incredible regeneration project.”

The regeneration of Battersea Power Station has created a vibrant mixed-used destination for London and a sixth town centre for the London Borough of Wandsworth with the Grade II* listed Power Station at its heart. Over 2,200 homes have been delivered to date, including 386 affordable homes at New Mansion Square in partnership with Peabody. The riverside neighbourhood is also home to more than 150 shops, bars, restaurants, and unique leisure experiences, and a thriving office community with over 3,500 office workers based across over 60 different companies, including Apple who has its 500,000 sq ft UK headquarters inside the Power Station.

BT Properties launches its flagship project ‘WAADA,’ master-planned community in Dubai South

 

Dubai, UAE, 28 May 2025 – BT Properties, one of Asia’s most trusted development entities, unveiled its flagship development project ‘WAADA,’ a master-planned community, in the UAE during a landmark launch event held at the Grand Hyatt, Dubai Healthcare City.

 

With over 30 years of experience in delivering large-scale, integrated, people-centric developments across Pakistan, BT Properties is bringing its legacy of trust and innovation to Dubai. The launch of ‘WAADA’ marks a significant milestone in the company’s expansion into the UAE market and reflects its commitment to contributing to the region’s real estate landscape.

 

Situated in Dubai South, minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport and the Expo 2020 Legacy District, ‘WAADA’ will be an exquisite development that integrates architecture, sustainability, and livability. The project aligns closely with the objectives of the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, offering a forward-thinking approach to urban development.

 

Malik Riaz Hussain, Chairman & Founder, expressed, “For over 30 years, I have believed that the true measure of success is not what we build, but who we uplift. Bahria Town was never just a real estate venture — it was a mission to transform lives, restore dignity, and give people a sense of belonging. Every city we developed was built on trust, every road on resilience, and every home on hope. And today, as this legacy expands into Dubai through BT Properties and WAADA, our purpose remains unchanged: to build not just structures, but futures. I dedicate this journey to the millions who trusted us, to every worker who shaped our cities, and to every citizen who now calls them home.”

 

Ahmed Ali Riaz Malik Group CEO at BT Properties, stated: “At BT Properties, our mission has always been to create developments that go beyond structures. We have always strived to shape communities that reflect innovation, purpose, and long-term value. With ‘WAADA,’ we are proud to bring our legacy to Dubai and contribute meaningfully to its evolving real estate landscape. This project represents our continued commitment to building environments where people can thrive.”

 

The unveiling event was led by Ahmed Ali Riaz Malik, Group CEO of BT Properties, who described ‘WAADA’ as ‘a living promise built not just on architectural plans but on three decades of earned trust, scale, and experience’. The project was formally introduced by Mr. Ahmad, Development Consultant of BT Properties, to an audience of key stakeholders, investors, partners, media representatives, and urban development professionals. The event was attended by a distinguished gathering of guests from across the UAE, including architects, community leaders, business families, etc.

 

The flagship project ‘WAADA’ – a name derived from the word meaning ‘promise’ – embodies a steadfast commitment to creating lasting value and cultivating vibrant, integrated communities. The development includes a diverse mix of property types – from signature mansions and mid-rise residences to townhouses and skyline apartments. Designed with a focus on emotional resonance and practical luxury, architecture and spatial planning aim to foster a sense of safety and belonging. Open spaces, landscaped lagoons, and a carefully curated urban environment enhance visual appeal and overall well-being.

 

The project also signals a broader evolution in BT Properties’ global strategy. Having delivered millions of square feet across international markets, the company has now firmly planted its flag in Dubai, a move that is both strategic and aligned with the city’s trajectory of innovation, excellence, and sustainable growth.

 

WAADA is poised to generate strong market interest, supported by its compelling value proposition and the credibility of BT Properties. With its guiding principle of Limitless Living, the development underscores the company’s role not only as a builder of real estate but as a steward of community and long-term value.
