Dubai, United Arab Emirates, July 8, 2024: Refine, a leading real estate development and management company, is taking the lead in enabling investors and developers to enter the market with confidence. Founded on the first-of-its-kind, game-changing “Development as a Service” (Daas) concept, Refine offers investors the opportunity to benefit from generations of real estate expertise and the strength of Refine’s integrated team and network, eliminating the need to build their own infrastructure.
Led by Thomas Wan, a second-generation entrepreneur and Managing Partner at Refine, the company is redefining how investors and developers enter the market and has already achieved a management portfolio worth over AED 7 billion since its founding in 2021.
Thomas Wan, founder of Refine, says: “Refine is committed to transforming Dubai’s real estate landscape by providing innovative solutions that go beyond traditional development practices. We are creating value in ways that have never been seen before, thanks to our unique approach to development as a service. “Our mission is to deliver exceptional quality to our clients at every stage of their journey with us, enabling investors and end-users to enter the real estate market with confidence and peace of mind.”
With a proven track record of managing and delivering projects worth more than AED 10 billion, Wan builds on the generational business savvy of a family business with more than 30 years of real estate heritage across China and the UAE.
Refine offers its clients either a monthly subscription or a “success fee only” model, allowing them to choose based on their specific requirements. Clients can choose a 'full journey' approach, or choose individual components of property development management, such as land acquisition, sales, marketing or administration, representing true flexibility and cost-effectiveness.
“Our quality-first approach is reflected in our impressive customer loyalty and retention, with repeat customers and recommendations accounting for more than 75% of our business,” Wan adds.
Among the latest projects in Refine's portfolio are the recently launched Rixos Downtown Dubai Residences and the St. Regis Financial Center Road in Dubai.
