Welcome to the Modern Buildings Summit – a gathering where concrete meets cool, glass gets greener, and the only limit is how high (and sustainable) we can build.

So, What’s the Buzz All About?
Ras Al Khaimah is shedding its quiet reputation and flexing its architectural muscles. It’s fast becoming the UAE’s dark horse in modern development—stacking up commercial towers, dreamy beachfront residences, and entertainment hubs with a style that screams “future, but make it fabulous.” And Sharjah’s not lagging either. With smart cities, green zones, and Zaha Hadid-designed wowfactors, the emirate is going from traditional to techie real quick.
But hey, it’s not just about building more – it’s about building better. That’s where the Modern Buildings Summit swoops in, superhero-cape style.
What’s on the Blueprint?
This isn’t your average hard-hats-and-cement affair. We’re diving deep into:
- Sustainability and Green Buildings: Because hugging trees is cool, but building smarter is cooler.
- Smart Building Tech: Buildings that think? Yes, please.
- Retrofitting & Modernization: Giving grandma buildings a sleek Gen Z glow-up.
- EV Charging & Parking: Because your Tesla needs somewhere to chill too.
- Urban Landscaping & Public Realms: Parks, paths, and places you’ll actually want to hang out in.
- Lighting, Facades, HVAC, and more buzzwords: Basically, all the nuts and bolts of future cities.
The Stars of the Skyline – RAK Edition
Think beachfront bliss meets architectural brilliance:
- Fortune Bay Residences – Luxe living starting at AED 2.5M.
- The Astera – With Aston Martin interiors. Yes, that Aston Martin. Starts at AED 1.8M.
- La Mer by Elie Saab – High fashion meets high-rises.
- Playa Del Sol – Under construction, overachieving.
- Sora Beach Residences – Premium pads from AED 2.8M.
- Wynn Al Marjan Island Resort – The UAE’s first legal gaming license, because RAK is rolling the dice on luxury.
Oh, and did we mention RAK is retrofitting 3,000 buildings by 2040? That’s not a facelift; that’s a full-blown energy-efficient revolution.
Sharjah’s Not Sitting Still Either…
- Al Mamsha Hamsa – 420 units of sleek, smart living.
- Blue Beach & View Island – Sea views + green parks = yes please.
- Aljada – The future downtown of Sharjah with everything from malls to museums.
