Samana Developers, a real estate developer based in Dubai, ranked as the 7th largest developer in the city, has announced a strategic partnership with the Dubai Land Department (DLD). This collaboration aims to enhance women’s leadership and participation in the property development industry, reflecting a shared commitment to creating a more inclusive and balanced sector.
At the heart of this partnership lies the ‘She Pioneers’ initiative, a programme designed to empower Emirati and resident women across all facets of the real estate value chain. The initiative seeks to cultivate confident female investors, influential decision-makers, and dynamic professionals who can drive the industry forward. This aligns closely with Dubai’s broader vision to promote gender equality and nurture female talent within key economic sectors. Samana Developers plans to roll out a variety of targeted programmes under this initiative. These include mentorship opportunities pairing experienced leaders with emerging female professionals, networking events aimed at building a strong community, specialised training for women real estate agents, and bespoke investment packages to support female entrepreneurs in property ownership.
Majida Ali Rashid, CEO of the Real Estate Development Sector at Dubai Land Department, expressed her support for the collaboration: “Our strategic collaboration with Samana Developers is deeply valued, as it places women’s encouragement at the heart of its mission. This initiative aligns seamlessly with our broader vision to foster a supportive ecosystem in which women can thrive and actively contribute to the growth of the real estate sector—an essential pillar of Dubai’s economy. Ultimately, it reflects the emirate’s visionary leadership in championing gender parity and unlocking the full potential of female talent across all sectors.”
Echoing this sentiment, Urusa Imran, Director of Business Development at Samana Developers, stated: “At Samana Developers, where women currently make up 48% of our workforce, we believe that enabling women is essential to the advancement of any modern society. This partnership with the Dubai Land Department is a significant step forward in translating that belief into measurable impact. We are confident in the power of women to lead transformative change and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of real estate in Dubai.”
This alliance is more than just a partnership; it represents a foundational step towards lasting, inclusive growth in Dubai’s real estate sector. By pooling their resources and aligning their goals, Samana Developers and DLD are setting the stage for meaningful change that will strengthen Dubai’s reputation as a global leader in progressive urban development.
As the ‘She Pioneers’ initiative gathers pace, it is set to unlock new opportunities for women to invest, lead, and innovate within the industry. Together, these organisations are not only advancing gender equality but also shaping a more diverse and resilient property market that will benefit generations to come.
