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.
Building Tomorrow Together, Francis Giani
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.
New Play Area, Double the Fun
We are very excited to announce that we’ve opened a new children’s play area at Business Bay, end of Al A'amal Street with a variety of play equipment including activity play sets, climbing structures, slides, swings and seesaws. With this upgrade, we welcome our youngest residents to this ideal spot for fun, laughter and active play.
There’s also shaded seating areas for parents and guardians to relax and enjoy the moment, making this a perfect place to support active and engaging lifestyle for our juniors.
Pillar Cues for Parking
Clear tower name markings on the pillars of both the ground and mezzanine parking floors have been introduced to assist residents and visitors in navigating the community parking area.
Drivers can quickly identify their designated parking zones and recall where they parked, which reduces confusion and saves time. These visible reference points make wayfinding more straightforward and enhance overall convenience.
Potted Perfection
We’ve enhanced the reception areas of all nine villa lobbies with the addition of tall, modern planter pots with a sleek brushed finish, paired with elegant Kentia palms. These sophisticated planters not only add a fresh, contemporary touch but also introduce a sense of height and natural beauty that complements the lobby décor.
It’s the Year of Community, a time to strengthen bonds, foster unity and build inclusive neighbourhoods and Rahima Khalifa is right at the heart of it all.
As a passionate community management pro, Rahima and her team strive to transform community concerns into real solutions. Get to know the person behind your community’s positive changes.
How it began?
Over the past 18 years, my journey has evolved from managing day-to-day operations to leading complex community portfolios. Along the way, I have embraced regulatory changes, driven digital transformation and championed meaningful engagement strategies.
Recall a proud moment
One of the most rewarding moments in my career was guiding a community through an unexpected operational challenge. By fostering open communication and putting structured recovery plans in place, we strengthened resident engagement and enhanced overall community confidence. Witnessing the transformation from challenge to cohesion reminded me of how meaningful it is to create real, positive impact each day.
Your idea of ‘community’
To me, it’s more than a group of individuals sharing a physical space; it’s a living network of relationships, trust and mutual respect. In this Year of Community, it is a powerful reminder that our work goes beyond infrastructure, it is about cultivating inclusive environments where diversity is embraced, voices are acknowledged and a shared vision is nurtured.
What people think you do v/s What you really do
Community management goes far beyond administration and maintenance. It involves strategic thinking, financial oversight, conflict resolution, regulatory compliance and strong interpersonal skills. We serve as the bridge between residents, service providers, and authorities, balancing diverse needs while upholding community values through leadership grounded in integrity and empathy.
Secret sauce for staying inspired
Outside of my professional responsibilities, I find balance and inspiration in reading, traveling and staying connected with nature. These pursuits not only help me recharge but also broaden my perspective and fuel creativity.

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-
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 your home with CCTV monitoring and ensure your 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, arrange pet care, inform a trusted person and community security of your plans.
Wishing you a safe and enjoyable holiday from the Dubai Holding Community Management team.
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 worryfree, 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 add more years to its lifespan.
Switch Off and Dry Up
Turn off unused electronics to keep rooms cooler and banish standing water (no mini swimming pools for mosquitoes, please!).
Safety & Shade Check
Make sure smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working, and dress your windows in light, breezy blinds to keep the sun’s heat out and your home cool.
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
Avoid blocking driveways, walkways and emergency access.
Observe Speed Limits
Drive slowly, avoid speeding up aisles and wait for barriers before proceeding.
Park Centred
Stay between the lines so others can park comfortably.
Respect Reserved Spaces
Avoid parking at spots for people of determination (if not applicable to you), emergency vehicles or EV charging.
Park Responsibly
It’s unsafe and unfair to neighbours. Ensure car lights are set to auto or on when in garage.
Stay Alert
Be mindful of families, children and strollers—especially when reversing or exiting your parking bay. Move slowly and use your mirrors to help keep everyone safe.
