SmartCrowd launches Flip: A game-changing way to invest in Dubai's multi-million dirham property renovations
Revolutionary fractional investment model opens Dubai's lucrative property flipping market to everyday investors Dubai, UAE: SmartCrowd — the Middle East's first regulated real estate crowdfunding platform — has officially launched Flip, opening doors for everyday investors to participate in high-end property flips through fractional ownership. Much more than just another real estate investment product, Flip is proven, powerful, and now accessible. With four successful Flip projects already completed and sold, SmartCrowd is inviting more investors to take part in a market previously reserved for high-net-worth individuals. Traditional property flipping often requires millions in upfront capital, deep industry expertise, and access to top-tier contractors, designers, and project managers. SmartCrowd has eliminated those barriers, enabling investors to co-invest in renovation projects valued up to AED 35M+, without the stress of managing the process themselves. Flip is already delivering incredible results. In just 10 days, SmartCrowd's latest Flip project in Dubai Hills — valued at AED 16.2M — secured over 50% funding, demonstrating the immense demand for these exclusive opportunities. SmartCrowd handles everything end-to-end — from sourcing undervalued properties in prime locations to overseeing the execution of high-quality renovations and reselling for maximum returns, typically within nine to 18 months. Investors simply choose a project, invest fractionally, and share in the profits upon resale. SmartCrowd's Flip model has already funded 10 projects worth over AED 200M, with four successful exits generating over AED 90M in value from AED 63M invested. With an average investor return of 28% over 15 months, Flip is setting a new benchmark in real estate investment efficiency. 'Most people don't realise they can invest in large-scale property renovations without millions in the bank,' said Riz Ahmed, CEO of SmartCrowd. 'Flip brings a rare opportunity to everyday investors — one that's already working and delivering results. We're making elite real estate flipping possible for more people than ever before. People use the phrase game-changing a lot, but Flip really is.' Dubai's soaring real estate market has seen a surge in demand for modern, move-in-ready homes, particularly in communities like Dubai Hills Estate, Jumeirah Golf Estates, Jumeirah Islands, Al Barari, and The Palm. Flip capitalises on this trend, transforming overlooked properties into premium assets that command high resale value. With limited access and strong investor demand, Flip opportunities don't stay open for long — giving investors a rare chance to be part of something exclusive, lucrative, and backed by a strong track record. About SmartCrowd: SmartCrowd is the MENA region's first regulated real estate investment platform, licensed by the DFSA and registered with the DIFC. As a pioneer in fractional property ownership in Dubai, SmartCrowd opens the door for global investors to access prime real estate through a secure, transparent, and regulated framework. Whether through long-term rental income or short-term renovation strategies, SmartCrowd empowers individuals to grow their wealth in UAE real estate with confidence.

H&H, one of the pioneers in Dubai's real estate market with bespoke turnkey developments, expands the group's flagship Eden House brand with the launch of its Eden House Za'abeel project in DIFC, Dubai. Eden House Za'abeel, conceptualised by DXB Lab and Tristan Auer, represents a pivotal new phase in the brand's growth strategy, and demonstrates its commitment to exceptional design and craftsmanship. The latest launch highlights the Eden House portfolio's expansion and resounding success in Dubai's upscale real estate market, particularly within the highly popular DIFC district's limited residential offerings. The project features a curated collection of high-end apartments, consisting of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, along with a limited number of penthouses featuring spacious layouts, exquisite finishes, and a wrap-around balcony. The development prioritises wellness and comfort with its diverse range of wellness amenities, such as a wellness courtyard, indoor wellness lounge, fitness facility, movement studio, spa suite with a sauna and steam room. Additionally, the project promotes a sense of community with its residents' lounge, multiple courtyards, food and beverage venues, café, outdoor and indoor swimming pools, and a business suite, among other offerings and amenities. Miltos Bosinis, CEO of H&H , commented, 'The launch of Eden House Za'abeel in DIFC reflects our commitment to excellence through exceptional design and meticulous craftsmanship. Our latest addition to the Eden House portfolio, located between Za'abeel and DIFC, is an extension of the brand's growing property portfolio in Dubai. With easy access to global financial institutions, fine dining, retail outlets, and other cultural attractions, the project functions as an integral hub for the local community. We also commend the shared vision of DXB Lab and Tristan Auer, whose collaboration refined the structure into an ideal setting that offers residents a serene and sophisticated living experience.' Centrally located in the DIFC district, the development's main entrance on the Za'abeel side ensures easy access while offering a unique setting that prioritises serenity, privacy, and a welcome escape from the city's bustle. This project reflects the DNA of Eden House, seamlessly blending with the vibrance of DIFC to create a living environment that is both tranquil and dynamic for its residents. The design develops with elegant, curvilinear gestures that blend in with the surroundings, taking inspiration from the site's native Ghaf groves, which became part of the landscape scheme of this development. This is reflected in the carefully considered design elements — from the textured concrete façade and cascading greenery to the rhythmic grid of balconies with elegantly curved handrails — all contributing to a striking balance between urban sophistication and simplicity. The interiors, envisioned by Tristan Auer, extend this combination of design and nature, harmonising bold forms with softer ornamental details. H&H has been at the forefront of Dubai's real estate industry, delivering high-end, sophisticated developments encompassing a vast portfolio of branded residences, hospitality, commercial, and retail projects. Eden House is testimony to H&H's vision of redefining modern living through projects that adhere to the highest standards of excellence, backed by contemporary design. With its latest launch in DIFC, H&H reaffirms its commitment to developing spaces that maximise value and enhance the quality of life for its residents.
