Chairman Abdulaziz Abdullah Al Zaabi said the results reflected the company’s growth and the appeal of Ras Al Khaimah as a property investment destination.
“The emirate’s diversified economy, investor-friendly regulations, and growing population reflect an increasing demand for a new kind of modern, urban-beachfront community with Mina as its vibrant heart,” Al Zaabi said in a statement.
Chief executive Sameh Muhtadi said the company’s performance was supported by new residential launches, hotel announcements, and international interest in Ras Al Khaimah.
