Over the years, AQUA Properties has established itself as a renowned, award-winning real estate company.

Navigating a Dynamic Market
AQUA Properties has adeptly navigated the dynamic real estate market in Dubai through a multifaceted approach. They have developed a diverse portfolio that includes residential, commercial, off plan properties, and in-house projects, allowing them to cater to various market segments and mitigate risks associated with reliance on any single sector. Technology has been the foundation of their strategy, with the integration of strong online marketing efforts enhancing both efficiency and customer engagement. Regular market research is another key aspect of their adaptability, enabling them to stay abreast of the latest trends and demands, thus making informed decisions that align with market conditions.
As the CEO of AQUA Properties, Paul takes great pride in AQUA Properties’ transformative rebranding initiative, which has significantly elevated its market position. He has led the team to achieve recognition such as being named three times to Forbes’ list of Top Real Estate Companies in the Arab World and winning the Gulf Real Estate Award twice.
Moreover, he has played a pivotal role in expanding the organizational footprint and enhancing AQUA Properties’ operational efficiency.
“From a single-office operation with 38 personnel, we have grown to establish four strategically located offices, employing a diverse workforce of over 200 professionals from 42 distinct cultural backgrounds,” shares Paul.
A Client-First Approach
AQUA Properties places a strong emphasis on a client-centric approach, which helps in building long-term, trusting relationships. They also partnered with reputable developers allowing AQUA to offer exclusive properties and advantageous deals. Lastly and most importantly, they invest significantly in the continuous development of their team, ensuring that everyone is well-trained and up-to-date with industry advancements, which in turn naturally enhances the quality of service they provide to clients.
AQUA Properties ensures quick responses to client inquiries through a combination of specialized expertise and strategic operational practices. Each team member is highly specialized in specific domains and locations within the real estate market, such as residential sales, commercial leasing, property management, and off plan. For several years, they have proven that deep specialization enables them to promptly and accurately address client inquiries with comprehensive knowledge and understanding.
The company employs streamlined communication channels both internally and externally, ensuring inquiries are swiftly routed to the appropriate specialist. Having their own CRM system, custom-built and managed by their in-house team of developers, allows AQUA Properties to tailor it precisely to their needs and helps facilitate efficient tracking of client interactions and timely follow-up. Plus, their four offices across Dubai — three of which are open every day — enhance client engagement, ensuring accessibility and convenience.
Personalized Services
AQUA Properties distinguish themselves through tailored services that cater to the specific needs of buyers, sellers, renters, and landlords. For buyers, they offer access to a diverse range of residential and commercial properties, facilitated by expert advice on market trends and investment opportunities.
Sellers benefit from comprehensive property marketing campaigns and accurate property appraisals, ensuring optimal market positioning and efficient transactions. Renters, on the other hand, receive personalized assistance throughout the tenancy process while landlords are given the option for property management services that include maintenance, DEWA connection, and tenant management.
AQUA Properties also offers end-to-end property services including Property Management, Development Management, and Off Plan Sales, ensuring properties are efficiently operated, maintained, and developed from start to finish. “Through these comprehensive services, we enhance property value, optimize investment returns, and provide early access and customization opportunities through off plan projects, making AQUA Properties a versatile choice for both investors and developers seeking personalized and profitable real estate solutions,” adds Paul.
The People Behind the Success
AQUA Properties has achieved remarkable milestones over nearly two decades – they have sold over 10,000 properties and rented out 15,000. Integral to AQUA Properties’ success are their RERA-certified agents, who ensure high standards of professionalism and service quality. These agents undergo rigorous training and certification processes mandated by the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) in Dubai. Their in-depth market knowledge and adherence to regulatory standards ensure that clients receive accurate, reliable, and transparent services, thereby building trust and credibility essential for maintaining AQUA Properties’ reputation for excellence and reliability in the real estate sector.
In-tune with Changes
The real estate industry is constantly evolving, and in the next five years, several emerging trends are expected to shape its future. One key trend is the growing focus on tourism, which means an increased demand for both short-term and long-term rentals. At AQUA Properties, the core team has already established a strong presence in the long-term rental market, leveraging its extensive experience to offer personalized services. For short-term rentals, it has introduced “Locations”, AQUA Properties’ own holiday homes model, which provides luxurious and convenient accommodations for tourists.
Another significant trend is the shifting landscape of Dubai, highlighted by Dubai’s massive plans for Al Maktoum International Airport, Dubai South, and The Oasis by Emaar. AQUA Properties have recently opened their fourth office in Dubai, and their second waterfront branch at Port de La Mer. To stay ahead of this trend, AQUA Properties ensure that they are aligning their growth with Dubai’s futuristic approach. Their strategic plan includes expanding their office locations across Dubai’s prime areas, ensuring they are well-positioned to serve the growing number of investors and tourists, especially in this part of Dubai.
“Additionally, Dubai is becoming less centralized, with fully established communities emerging beyond the traditional hotspots of Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina. These new pockets of communities indicate Dubai’s continuous evolution. By adapting to these changes and expanding our presence in these growing areas, we aim to meet the diverse needs of both residents and tourists, further solidifying our position as a leading real estate destination,” adds Paul.
Future Ready
Looking ahead, AQUA Properties envisions a future built on their humble beginnings in Dubai. Their goals over the next 5 years are bold yet achievable considering where they are now: to further their position as a leader in both real estate development and brokerage sectors.
“We will continue to deliver pioneering projects that set new benchmarks for excellence, modern community living, and sustainability. With upcoming developments on Sheikh Zayed Road and in two other prime Dubai communities, we aim to reshape the industry and exceed client expectations. AQUA Properties is steadfast in our mission to redefine the real estate experience with customized service and expertise,” concludes Paul.
