Rakeen - A fresh approach to development

Rakeen – an Arabic word that means ‘central pillar’ or ‘trustworthy support’ – commenced operations on 19th April 2006, in a royal decree by His Highness Sheikh Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, as the land master-planner and developer to be responsible for RAK’s property development.

Rakeen a significant number of ambitious developments underway for Ras Al Khaimah – from man-made islands to offshore financial districts and from spa resorts to new urban developments – to facilitate the emirate’s transition to an international commercial capital and cultural landmark.

Rakeen has a diversified international development portfolio and has been investing robustly in emerging markets around the region.

As a guiding principle, every project that we embark on is founded on the belief that we have an overriding responsibility to preserve the heritage and social values of the people as well as the beauty of our countryside, and the environment at large.

Rakeen is committed to designing and building structures which are sympathetic to their surroundings and which preserve or add to the natural habitat wherever possible.

Rakeens core values are Sustainability, Responsibility and Prosperity.

Not every idea survives the test of time. At Rakeen, we study projects meticulously to ensure financial viability and future prosperity before we start drawing plans.

State-of-the-art construction methods and durable materials are used in all our developments for longevity of our constructions. In addition, we keep production costs down without lowering the standard of services, making the properties more accessible for the developer, manager and the end-consumer.

Implementation of initiatives that reduce environmental impact, such as on-site sewerage amenities and chiller plants, are instrumental in each development.

Rakeen uses all necessary precautionary measures to ensure the preservation and enrichment of social and cultural values, fortification of heritage legacies and protection of the environment. We do not build at the cost of the environment.

From a developers and end-user perspective, we fulfill our responsibility by providing all amenities and making sure all infrastructural requirements are considered prior to the commencement of projects. We proudly and transparently stand behind all our projects throughout their life cycles, committing to quality at all times.

Financial success is a strong motivating factor behind all Rakeen endeavors. Its not just Rakeen’s prosperity under consideration. We strive to create challenging and rewarding prospects for the people of RAK by encouraging their involvement, consultation and participation at all times.

Our local, regional and international projects are avenues via which all parties can thrive and flourish. These opportunities will create and encourage employment, business development, additional self-contained communities, integrated nationalities and more.

Rakeen’s plans for Ras Al Khaimah developments provide a major opportunity for developers, investors and especially, the people of RAK.
