Eng. Amer Khansaheb is a visionary leader at the helm of Union Properties PJSC (UP), one of the UAE’s largest and most respected Real Estate development companies, with a distinguished legacy in delivering premium landmark projects across Dubai. With a legacy built over more than three decades, Union Properties has delivered some of the city’s most iconic destinations—MotorCity, Green Community, Uptown Mirdiff, Index Tower, and the Ritz-Carlton DIFC.
Khansaheb’s leadership has ushered in a period of transformation for Union Properties, resulting in record operational profitability and renewed investor confidence. In 2024, the company recorded annual revenues of AED 528.7 million, a clear indicator of its strong operational performance and successful market positioning. This financial resilience reflects not just business acumen, but also a deep understanding of evolving market demands and the importance of adaptive, forward-thinking development.
Central to this new era is Takaya, the company’s flagship mixed-use project launched in 2024 in Motor City. Valued at AED 2 billion and spread across 436,175 square feet, Takaya is a statement of intent. It is designed with tomorrow in mind, incorporating sustainable insulation materials, automated utility systems, and EV charging stations, setting a new benchmark for smart urban living in Dubai.
With two new developments on the horizon, collectively valued at AED 4 billion, the company is advancing a broader AED 6 billion strategic expansion plan. Beyond his role at Union Properties, Khansaheb also serves as Director of Khansaheb Investment, a family-owned business group that has grown into a market leader under his guidance since 2012. His leadership across both entities is underpinned by a strong educational foundation, a Bachelor of Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the American University of Beirut, and a Master of Science in Project Management from the British University of Dubai, in addition to being a Chartered Financial Analyst.
Khansaheb’s multidisciplinary experience spans real estate development, construction management, investment strategy, and financial analysis. As the UAE advances toward Vision 2030, Union Properties, with Khansaheb at the helm, is poised to play a vital role in building a diversified, forward-looking economy.
