Location: 2010

Hayaat Group was invited by the University of Bradford to develop The Green, an ambitious 1,026-bed on-campus sustainable residential complex. The result was the UK’s largest single-phase development of bed spaces ever attempted, completed in a record timeline of just 84 weeks following the purchase of more than 20 acres of land in Bradford City Centre by the group. The project was delivered on a very tight budget, and on time, despite an economic downturn that brought many of the UK’s major developments to a halt.

The Green remains a flagship project for the Hayaat Group, winning multiple awards for building sustainability, and, ensuring our status as a key player in the £750million development of the Learning Quarter in Bradford City Centre, in partnership with Bradford Council. Among its many accolades, The Green was the first multi-residential building in the UK to achieve the BREEAM sustainability assessor “outstanding” rating, as well as the body’s highest ever score of 95.05%. It is now seen as the benchmark in sustainable construction.

 

Hayaat Group owns an extensive and diversified property portfolio of more than 70 properties. Present across the globe including UAE, England, Turkey, and Pakistan, the group has assets in world class projects in London, Abu Dhabi and Dubai. We actively deploy, manage and maintain these properties for enhanced yields and capital growth.

Showcase: Mulitani and QSS; expat housing and support services
Location: Pemba and Tete, Mozambique
Location: 2011

Hayaat Group's early identification of East Africa’s rise led to its investment in Mozambique. The frontier market was emerging as a key mining and exploration destination that attracted major companies and expats from across the globe. The group zeroed-in on a unique opportunity to develop corporate housing and lifecycle support services for expat professionals in the region, entering into a joint venture with an Africa-focused fund, to develop and manage premium compounds in two locations: Pemba and Tete.

We developed an on-ground presence, negotiated land acquisition, designed, funded, developed and managed the developments. The two large serviced accommodation compounds, which feature luxury apartments, were built to superior South African construction standards, with onsite catering, restaurants, swimming pools and bars. Hayaat Group attracted high profile multinational tenants, including Barlow World, Halliburton and Anadarko, and, managed the properties until exit.
