Gulf Network
Ascot Racecourse has today announced a landmark partnership with BEYOND Developments, a pioneering real estate brand born in Dubai. The collaboration sees BEYOND become the Official Real Estate Partner of Ascot and Royal Ascot across all 26 race days, including the globally renowned Royal Ascot in June. This partnership represents a convergence of legacies - on one side, the enduring heritage of Ascot, a symbol of British tradition; on the other, BEYOND, established in Dubai, a city where the love for horses runs deep and equestrianism is an integral part of its cultural fabric.
Felicity Barnard, CEO, Ascot Racecourse, said: 'We are thrilled to welcome BEYOND as an Official Partner. It's very much a natural fit for both brands, with our focus on quality and luxury. We're excited to work with BEYOND across our global network and on our race days throughout the year, and I'm sure that racegoers will be impressed by their activation at Royal Ascot.'
Adil Taqi, Chief Executive Officer of BEYOND Developments, added: 'It is an honour to join the Ascot family as an Official Partner. This collaboration represents our commitment to connecting cultures through vision, heritage, and thoughtfulness. Horses have long symbolised grace, strength, and forward motion, values deeply embedded in the culture of the UAE, and echoed in how we approach progress and bold expression. In many ways, this partnership is a reflection of shared ideals shaped by legacy and driven by purpose.'
Guided by Dubai's bold vision and shaped by commitment to exceptional waterfront living, BEYOND, brings a fresh perspective to Ascot, one that blends refined design with a lifestyle shaped by clarity, creativity, and connection to place. At Royal Ascot 2025, BEYOND will offer racegoers a glimpse into the evolving landscape of modern living in the UAE, where coastline, lifestyle experiences, human connections, innovation, modern architecture, nature and community come together in harmony.
BEYOND, a new venture under the OMNIYAT Group, represents the next evolution in Dubai's real estate landscape, committed to creating spaces that go beyond living, offering experiences that inspire, connect, and elevate the everyday.
Royal Ascot 2025, taking place from Tuesday 17 to Saturday 21 June, remains one of the most anticipated events on the international racing and social calendar, welcoming over 300,000 racegoers and reaching a global audience of more than 650 million households.

Aldar Achieves AED 3.5 Billion in First‑Week Fahid Island Sales
Aldar has secured over AED 3.5 billion in sales during the initial launch week of its Fahid Beach Residences and The Beach House on Fahid Island, underscoring strong demand for the developer's new coastal wellness vision. Sales encompass a mix of 1- to 4‑bedroom apartments, townhouses and penthouses, with prices starting from around AED 3 million for residential units, and represent a pivotal milestone for the island's debut as Abu Dhabi's first wellness‑focused coastal destination. The weekend launch saw committed buyers who value coastal living, wellness‑driven design, and access to a super‑premium British curriculum, with Kings College School Wimbledon integrated within the broader masterplan. Expatriate residents and overseas investors accounted for 67 percent of total sales. The top nationalities included people from the UAE, Russia, the UK and China—a testament to Fahid Island's growing international credibility as a lifestyle investment hub. Aldar's CEO, Jonathan Emery, noted that a significant share of buyers are first‑time customers of Aldar, with a marked representation of younger demographics; 42 percent are under the age of 45. ADVERTISEMENT Fahid Island spans a prime location between Yas Island and Saadiyat Island, featuring an 11 km coastline set within pristine mangrove forests. The development is backed by a gross development value exceeding AED 40 billion and is being positioned as the world's first 'Fitwel‑certified island'. Designed to prioritise wellness, it includes amenities such as 24‑hour gyms, luxury spas, social kitchens, pet spas, and direct waterfront access. Analysts view the strong launch sales as reflective of Abu Dhabi's upward trend in real estate investment. June is shaping up as one of the capital's most active months, fuelled by Fahid Island's launch and concurrent high‑end projects such as the Bulgari branded residences. The performance on Fahid Island suggests a shift: younger, wellness‑oriented buyers are engaging with luxury markets, a departure from the traditionally older investor base. Closer examination reveals further trends: 67 percent of buyers are new to Aldar's portfolio, indicating the island's appeal to a fresh and diverse audience. The project's proximity—five minutes from Yas Island, 15 minutes from Abu Dhabi International Airport and Saadiyat—is a key draw, alongside the island's positioning as a lifestyle destination offering a blend of culture, community and environmental immersion. Fahid Island's commitment to sustainability, wellness and education adds to its allure. The British curriculum school, part of Aldar's integrated planning, caters to global families intent on combining luxurious living with holistic wellbeing. Meanwhile, its Fitwel designation reinforces the emphasis on health‑centric built environments. The sales mix at launch highlights both investment and lifestyle motivations. Properties span multiple price bands and formats—apartments, townhomes, penthouses—offering price thresholds from AED 3 million upwards. This diversity widens appeal to both investors and end‑users seeking premium coastal residences. Abu Dhabi's property market is experiencing a resurgence in interest from international investors. Fahid Island's launch dovetails with broader market momentum, positioning the city as a global real estate hotspot. Its emphasis on wellness, youth engagement, and quality education aligns with shifting consumer values across the Gulf region. Moving ahead, Aldar anticipates sustained engagement from both domestic and international buyers. Jonathan Emery commented that ahead of subsequent phases, the developer expects Fahid Island's profile to strengthen on the global stage and continue drawing affluent individuals seeking health‑oriented, culture‑rich coastal communities.
