In the UAE, where sustainable construction is on the rise, the country aims to reduce its carbon emissions by 23 percent by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, says the UAE’s Ministry of Climate Change and Environment. A report by Research and Markets predicts that the UAE green building market will reach US$2.5 billion by 2026, with a CAGR of 11.3 percent from 2021 to 2026.
Dugasta Properties emerges as a key player in the rapidly expanding landscape of sustainable real estate, reflecting broader industry trends. With the global market for sustainable building products projected to reach US$ 962 billion in 2033, growing at a CAGR of 11.2 percent during the forecast period 2023 to 2033 (Future Market Insights) and the Middle East set to invest over US$1 trillion in green buildings by 2030 (MENA Sustainable Building Council), Dugasta’s commitment aligns seamlessly.

Highlighting its commitment to water conservation, Dugasta’s properties boast efficient irrigation systems, greywater recycling, and water-efficient landscaping. These innovative measures ensure responsible water usage, contributing to a sustainable water future for Dubai.
They emphasise the use of eco-friendly building materials, such as recycled or locally sourced materials, sustainable wood, paints, and other construction elements that align with their commitment to minimising environmental impact.
Their projects prioritise green spaces, rooftop gardens, and vertical gardens, promoting biodiversity and enhancing air quality within the properties. Dugasta believes in creating spaces that harmonise with nature.
Encouraging sustainable transportation, Dugasta incorporates features like electric vehicle charging stations and proximity to public transportation hubs, contributing to a reduced carbon footprint within their communities.
