IMKAN and Saal.ai Partner to Revolutionize UAE Real Estate with AI

IMKAN Properties, a leading global master developer based in Abu Dhabi, has entered into a strategic partnership with Saal.ai, a national leader in Artificial Intelligence and Big Data technologies. The collaboration, announced at the "Make it in the Emirates" (MIITE) event held from May 19 to 22, 2025, aims to revolutionize the UAE's real estate sector by integrating advanced AI and digital technologies across IMKAN's value chain.

The partnership is set to deliver smarter, faster, and more sustainable living experiences by deploying cutting-edge digital solutions. These technologies will empower developers to design more intelligently, streamline operations, and make faster, evidence-based decisions—all aligned with the UAE’s broader vision for technological leadership and sustainable growth.

By leveraging Saal.ai’s advanced platforms, IMKAN plans to enhance design optimization, improve operational efficiency, and offer hyper-personalized customer engagement. This approach enables the delivery of future-ready living environments equipped with Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities and smart infrastructure, paving the way for next-generation communities. Notably, IMKAN becomes the first real estate developer in the region to employ this advanced technology for compliance automation, ensuring consistency in regulatory compliance, eliminating manual bottlenecks, and enhancing project delivery timelines.

Engineer Suwaidan Al Dhaheri, CEO of IMKAN Properties, commented on the partnership:

“This forward-thinking partnership demonstrates how technology can drive real, measurable impact in our sector. By leveraging the power of AI and data, we are not only optimizing delivery timelines and costs and reducing human error, but we are also ensuring that our developments set new benchmarks for quality, compliance, and future readiness.”

Vikraman Poduval, CEO of Saal.ai, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration:

“As the UAE continues to lead the region in digital transformation and AI innovation, we are proud to be partnering with IMKAN to empower the Future of Intelligence Living. We at Saal are passionate about capitalizing on technology for the greater good; this partnership exemplifies our solutions to optimizing the real estate development cycle and project costs while preparing for the Internet of Things and future-ready smart homes.”
