I am delighted to address you on behalf of Dubai Holding’s recently formed community management arm with the aim to provide premium community management services by managing and nurturing our communities where residents truly understand a sense of belonging.

This accounts for 40% of the market share and housing one-third of Dubai’s population.
As

Your Community Updates
Come rain or shine, your community undergoes several improvements and upgrades all through the year. Here is a slice of all that was planned and undertaken in and around your neighbourhood in 2024.
New Turf at Bark Park
The District 2 dog park received a significant upgrade with the addition of a stretch of natural lawn grass, enhancing both the aesthetics and functionality of the space. This grass patch provides a comfortable, soft surface for dogs to run, play and socialise, reducing the risk of injury or slips. It also helps in controlling dust, improving air quality and offering a cleaner environment for pets and their owners.
The lush green space not only elevates the park's visual appeal but also encourages outdoor activity, supporting the health and wellbeing of your furry friends. The improvement ensures that District 2 dog park remains a welcoming and enjoyable destination for the local community, offering a safer and more pleasant space for everyone to enjoy.
Rule Refresher
As part of our efforts to reiterate the rules and guidelines around community living, we have added 63 new signage boards bearing the community, children’s play area and sports court rules and regulations.
Installed at vantage points of the community, these signs are visually less cluttered with minimal text and more icons – keeping it clean and easy to understand and remember for people of all ages and backgrounds.
With crisp content and information, these signage boards are aimed at building a better recall amongst residents about the community guidelines.
As part of recent enhancements around Jumeirah Village Triangle, the focus was on creating safer, better and more beautiful pavements and pathways.
Adding both form and function, upgraded interlock pathways spanning 5,600 metres were installed, weaving through the streets and flanked by the community greenery, overall enhancing the accessibility of these redesigned areas. This is a significant step that contributes to the comfort and safety of pedestrians, joggers and people using strollers within the community.
In addition to this, the replacement of decorative pebbles was completed in the parks in Districts 1, 2, 3 and 8, spanning approximately 7,900 sqm. This update adds a fresh, vibrant touch to our community spaces, enhancing their visual appeal and ensuring long-lasting beauty.
Meandering New Pavers Road Revamp
1,500 square metres of road repairs were successfully completed across
the community, addressing settled, sunken and cracked asphalt areas. These repairs not only enhance the overall appearance of our roads but also significantly improve the driving experience for all motorists.
The repairs help maintain the integrity of our infrastructure, ensuring that our roads remain in top condition for years to come. This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining the community’s roads, improving safety, and enhancing comfort for residents and visitors alike.

Neighbourhood Knowhows
Be a Good Neighbour
It’s a wonderful time to reflect on how you could contribute to a positive and happy collective community living experience in your neighbourhood. Save these recommendations that topped our charts and share it with your circle.
Keep it Cordial
Lend a smile and a simple hello to a neighbour you encounter on that evening walk or even the security personnel or service provider who helps you with an enquiry.
Bring Down the Volume
Avoid throwing a big noisy bash or turning up the music to deafening decibels after 10pm or reasonable hours. No neighbour wants to be privy to your loud conversations or arguments.
Park
Appropriately
Park only in driveways or parking spaces that are assigned to you or in zones reserved for parking – do not encroach the neighbour’s spot or run your wheels on the sidewalk or grass. For added safety, always park in reverse in your garage port so that you have a clear field of vision when exiting.
Stay Sustainable
Practice reducing waste, recycling more, making eco-friendly choices and conserving energy.
Avoid littering outside your property and put your trash in the designated bins and areas. Go green and inspire your household, especially the younger folk to embrace it.
Respect Thy Neighbour
If you are having a problem with a neighbour, try first to resolve the situation peacefully in person with respect and understanding –this goes a long way.
Referring the Community Rules as a great reference point could help - for what’s allowed and not allowed within and outside your property. Reach out to your community management team if you still need help resolving or reaching a common ground.
Remembering these community rules help cultivate an open line of communication amongst your diverse pool of neighbours and sustains friendships for a long time to come.
Being Water-Wise
Water conservation is a shared responsibility that begins within our communities. By implementing water-wise practices, each home can make a significant impact. We believe that starting a conversation about mindful water use can initiate a ripple effect creating a cumulative impact in residents’ daily lives.
Below are a few practical ways to reduce your household’s water consumption and subsequently, even manage your water bills
Install water-efficient appliances
▶ Low-flow or dual-flush toilets
▶ Water-saving showerheads
▶ Energy-efficient washing machines and dishwashers (look out for an A-rated energy label)
▶ Aerators on faucets and showerheads
Reduce water usage
▶ Shorten showers
▶ Fully load washing machine or dishwasher
▶ Use greywater for gardening
Optimise irrigation systems
▶ Drip irrigation
▶ Rainwater harvesting
Fix leaks promptly
These tips would be particularly helpful in reducing your water consumption and associated utility charges, in light of the recent revisions in the nation-wide sewerage tariffs.
Hot Tip
Install smart water meters if you do not have them already (recommended by DEWA) and use the linked smart applications to monitor both current and historical detailed readings to keep a tab on your home’s consumption.
