COLABB Launches Dubai’s Newest Integrated Real Estate Platform

Dubai, UAE – August 26, 2025 - COLABB, a Dubai-based commercial real estate investment and creative development firm, has officially launched, unveiling an integrated real estate platform that unites investment, interior design, and digital strategy under one umbrella.

An Interdisciplinary Approach

COLABB’s model is designed to simplify and enhance the investment journey for both private and institutional investors, enabling them to acquire high-potential commercial and hospitality properties while also benefiting from coordinated design and repositioning strategies.

The firm’s approach moves beyond traditional acquisition to include creative strategy, visual storytelling, and asset enhancement, ensuring properties achieve maximum value and long-term relevance.

“Traditional commercial real estate often leaves investors having to navigate and manage multiple vendors and contractors. This can lead to coordination issues, delays, and less than ideal processes and outcomes. COLABB’s approach integrates the process for investors,” the company noted.

Streamlined for Investors

When clients approach COLABB, they engage with a single, multidisciplinary team that handles the entire investment cycle:

• Market analysis and property sourcing
• Financial and legal support
• Deal execution
• Operational needs such as property matching, lease terms, approvals, and contracts
• Post-acquisition management, including tenant relations and long-term operations

This streamlined process is designed to remove inefficiencies and reduce risks for investors, ensuring projects maintain both strategic and creative cohesion.

Three Core Divisions

COLABB operates through three integrated divisions:

• Invest – for acquisition and financial structuring
• Interior – for creative design and asset transformation
• Digital – for marketing, positioning, and brand storytelling

Together, these pillars ensure clients receive comprehensive consulting services across the entire lifecycle of commercial real estate development — from first acquisition to final positioning in the market.

The firm also supports project consulting, collaborating with architects, contractors, and external partners from the earliest stages of development to ensure cohesion between design, execution, and cultural impact.

Led by Industry Experience

COLABB is led by Founder Olga Sukhanova, who brings over 15 years of commercial real estate experience. Prior to founding the company, Sukhanova executed deals totaling more than USD 300 million in the Moscow City project, Russia’s largest business district.

Building with Purpose

Sukhanova emphasized that COLABB’s mission goes beyond transactions, aiming to reshape how real estate intersects with culture and creativity.

Olga Sukhanova, Founder of COLABB, said:

"We are entering a new era in the UAE market where the focus will shift from scale, speed, and brand names to meaning, aesthetics, and depth. Investors and developers will increasingly seek projects with cultural and emotional resonance where culture, investment, and design work in synergy.”

She added:

"COLABB was born from a desire to build with purpose and connect culture with capital. We want to go beyond transactions and create a platform where real estate, design, investment thinking, and creativity converge to deliver lasting value. We approach every project not as a product, but as a strategic and emotional experience.”

By combining investment expertise with design sensibility and digital innovation, COLABB seeks to redefine how commercial properties are envisioned, executed, and experienced in Dubai. Its integrated platform is intended not just to deliver profitable assets, but also to create projects with lasting cultural relevance.

As the UAE continues to evolve as a global hub for real estate and design-led development, COLABB’s entry marks a significant milestone in the push towards strategic, experience-driven commercial projects.
