From the Chief Community Management Officer's Desk
Dear Resident,
As school doors close, summer arrives with its promise of adventure and togetherness. This season of sunshine and new beginnings is the perfect moment to share exciting news: we’re stepping forward as Dubai Holding Community Management (DHCM).
For years, you’ve known us as creators of some of Dubai’s most vibrant communities. We have now united our legacy with a renewed commitment: to deliver seamless service, foster deeper connections and ensure every resident feels a true sense of belonging.
The announcement of 2025 as the Year of Community couldn’t be more timely. It’s a reminder that the real strength of our neighbourhoods lies in the people who call them home.
This vision inspires us to listen more closely, serve more meaningfully and help in shaping thriving, connected communities. With DHCM, we are stronger, smarter and more connected than ever.

Community
Spotlight
Your neighbourhood has been going through upgrades and enhancements behind the scenes. Check in on how we’ve been sprucing up the surroundings these past months.
Football Fun and Lush Lawns
Gear up for footie action at the District 8 Park with our newly installed football goalpost. Drop in at this recreational spot to enjoy friendly matches, hone your skills or just stay active outdoors.
Additionally, we’ve elevated lawn areas across parks, introducing lush green landscapes that not only boost the visual appeal but also bring greater tranquillity to the neighbourhood. These improvements offer a more inviting environment for relaxation, play and connection with nature.
Safety Comes First
As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance road safety and walkability, we’ve installed new speed humps and a pedestrian crossing in District 9 to calm traffic and protect pedestrians. Additionally, new traffic signage and road markings were also added to improve traffic flow and provide clearer direction for drivers.
These upgrades are designed to reinforce speed limits, create safer intersections and make walking around the community more secure and enjoyable for everyone.
Fun is Taking Shape
Get ready for more ways to play, move and connect at Jumeirah Park. Construction is in full swing for the modern new padel tennis courts and fitness area in District 7, where soon you'll be able to smash, sweat and socialise just steps from home.
The eagerly awaited parks in Districts 8 and 9 are nearing completion, bringing more green spaces and excitement for all ages.
District 5 Park is undergoing a revamp, promising a fresh, upgraded environment (with a bit of construction dust in the meantime, thank you for your patience!).
Finally, watch as the semi-circle in District 6 transforms into a lively hub for strolls, gatherings and relaxation, making every day a little brighter in Jumeirah Park.
Take our quick survey and let us know what you love - and what we can do better. Your experience in our community matters.

It’s the Year of Community, a time to strengthen bonds, foster unity and build inclusive neighbourhoods and Said Salameh is right at the heart of it all.
As a passionate community management pro, Said and his team strive to transform community concerns into real solutions. Get to know the person behind your community’s positive changes.
How it began?
Inspired by my passion for engineering and community impact, I’ve progressed from strategic projects like Dubai Airports to enhancing renowned communities. Each role has strengthened my skills, adaptability and commitment to improving residents’ experiences through technical expertise and collaboration.
Recall a proud moment
During a 2024 inspection at Jumeirah Park and Jumeirah Islands, I saw diverse birds flourishing by the lake. Proof that two years of leading eco-friendly water quality projects brought real biodiversity, highlighting the impact and purpose behind our community management efforts.
Your idea of ‘community’
To me, “community” means belonging, support, and shared purpose, lifting one another up, celebrating diversity, and working together as neighbours, mentors and participants to build a stronger, more connected world, especially in this Year of Community.
What people think you do v/s What you really do
Many think our role is purely administrative, but it demands strategic thinking, empathy and hands-on problem-solving.
During the 2024 rains, we worked tirelessly onsite, even sleeping in cars to minimise disruptions, demonstrating our deep commitment to impactful community service.
Secret sauce for staying inspired
Outside work, I find balance through DIY projects, long outdoor walks and camping in the UAE desert, which help me recharge, reconnect with nature and focus on personal growth, well-being and meaningful human connections. Want

Friendly Reminder Zone
As temperatures rise, let’s remember the hardworking service providers who keep our community thriving, often spending long hours outdoors under the sun. A simple gesture, like allowing a midday break when scheduling services around lunchtime and offering water when you see them working in the sun can make a big difference.
By showing kindness and consideration, we not only support their wellbeing but also strengthen the spirit of our community. Let’s ensure everyone who cares for our neighbourhood feels cared for in return.
Stub Out the
Risk
Cigarette butts may seem harmless, but if not put out completely, they can start dangerous fires- especially when they land on furniture, plants or are tossed into garbage bins. Even a small spark can quickly turn into a big problem inside a building or on a balcony.
Here are four tips to remember for a safer disposal and a safer home.
PUT OUT your cigarette completely before throwing it away. Use an ashtray with water or sand to make sure it’s out.
NEVER TOSS a lit cigarette from your balcony or window. Wind can carry it onto furniture, plants or even another balcony, risking a fire.
THROW OUT
cigarette butts into designated bins when you are out and about.
KEEP FLAMMABLES
AWAY from balconies and windows. Don’t store cartons, wood, paper piles, paint cans, clothes racks or dried out plants in these areas.
Pet- quette for a Pawfect Community
Being a pet parent is a lot of fun, but it also means taking good care of them and being thoughtful of others.
It’s that time of the year when the community pool is the coolest spot in the neighbourhood. But let’s make sure every splash is a safe one with these essential reminders - especially for families with young children.
No Running or Partying
Walk, don't run to avoid slips and falls. Parties are not allowed in the community pool.
Teach Swimming Skills
Enrol children in swimming lessons. Even basic skills can help keep them safer in the water.
Supervision is Key
All swimmers under 12 must be accompanied and supervised by an adult at all times and stay within arm’s reach to avoid risks of drowning.
Lifeguard Alert
Swimming is only allowed when a lifeguard is on duty.
No Lifeguard?
No swimming!
Pool Timings
Stick to the pool operating hours. This helps us keep the pool sparkling and safe for everyone.
Water Watcher
Designate an adult from your group to watch children in and around the pool especially on busy days - free from phone distractions or books.
Here are a few important and simple rules that will help make our community a great place for pets and people.
Clean Up
After your Pet
Always carry a bag to pick up after your fur pal. Use the dog waste bins around our community for easy disposal.
Register and Vaccinate your Pet
Make sure your pet is registered with Dubai Municipality and has all the right vaccinations.
Keep Your Pet on a Leash
Dogs should always be on a leash in common areas, so everyone feels safe and is in line with local laws.
Extra Care in the Heat
When it’s hot outside, pets can get sick easily. Watch for signs like excessive drooling and avoid walking your pet during the hottest part of the day. Never leave your pet in a car or on a balconythis can be very dangerous.
Jet Set, Don’t Forget
Before you jet off on your summer getaway, make sure your home is S.A.F.E.
Each letter stands for a smart step – making it easy to recall and covers all essentials for a secure home while you’re away.
SECURE
Lock doors, windows, wardrobes and safes. Secure entrances with CCTV monitoring and ensure battery backup is active.
A PPLIANCES
& AC
Unplug non-essentials, adjust AC to 24°C.
FOOD & FRIDGE
Empty your fridge and freezer to prevent spoilage.
EMERGENCY PREP
Close the main water valve, schedule your irrigation timers, arrange pet care, inform a trusted person and community security of your plans.
BONUS: Sign up for the Dubai Police Home Security Programme via the Dubai Police app for complimentary police patrolling while you are away.
Home Wellness Check
A little preparation goes a long way in keeping your home safe and comfortable. From beating the heat to keeping pests at bay, here’s your easy guide to a worry-free, well-maintained home this season. Voilà—your summer maintenance checklist!
Beat the Heat with a WellMaintained AC
Keep your AC running smoothly with professional servicing at least twice a year to improve cooling performance and air quality, reduce energy consumption and bills and extend its lifespan.
Clean Water, Safe Home
Water tanks in hot climates can collect dirt, bacteria and sediment. Clean your water tank every 6–12 months with a licensed service to prevent contamination and bad odour and maintain water pressure and plumbing.
Don’t
Let the Pests Move In
Keep out summer’s unwanted guests (like ants, cockroaches and rodents) with scheduled professional pest control at least twice a year. Food must be sealed and surfaces kept clean. Seal cracks or entry points around windows and doors and avoid leaving standing water (indoors and outdoors).
TIP: Clean AC filters monthly and keep outdoor units clear of dust and debris.
Park it Right, Drive it Light
With families and children often out and about in your community, it’s essential to practice good parking and driving habits to help keep our streets and neighbourhood welcoming and secure.
Designated Spots Only
Park in your assigned space and avoid blocking driveways, walkways or emergency accesscrucial for safety and accessibility.
Slow Down
Stick to speed limits on internal and arterial roads. Speeding in residential areas puts children, pedestrians and pets at risk.
Reverse for a Better View
When parking, try to reverse into your bay. This gives you a clearer view when you leave, reducing the risk of accidents, especially with children, cyclists and pets nearby.
Respect Reserved Spaces
Leave designated spots for people of determination and emergency vehicles. Everyone deserves a safe and accessible community.
No Double-Parking
Double-parking is not only inconvenient but also dangerous as it blocks visibility and creates hazards for pedestrians and other drivers.
Your cooperation makes all the difference. Thanks for helping us create a safer, happier space.
