E jadah, an integrated realestate solutions provider, caters to residential, retail, commercial, hospitality and mixed use developments. With such versatility in operations, the firm believes they have made a strong foundation in FM industry.

Giving a background of Ejadah’s operations, Tarek Nizameddin, sr. executive director at Ejadah Asset Management Group, says that the firm is divided into three main verticals called Idama, Arkan and Shabaka. He explains: “Idama is the FM arm that provides facility management services ranging from soft services to hard services. Arkan is the security arm of the firm that provides total security solutions such as manguard services, security systems, car park management, etc. And the third vertical Shabaka, is the unit services arm that is similar to Idama. Idama will operate in the building common, while Shabaka will service an apartment or a unit. If Idama is B2B, Shabaka is B2C.”

Ejadah Asset Management Group is in fact a subsidiary of Dubai Properties Group which delivers holistic real estate solutions that meet the needs of investors, businesses, residents and visitors.
