SHARE

Real estate development for Carlos Wakim, CEO of Bloom Holding, goes beyond constructing buildings – it’s about building communities. Bloom Holding puts people at the heart of everything it does. Real estate is a business that often gets consumed by numbers and forecasts, but Bloom Holding does not lose sight of its people. As one of the most prominent luxury real estate developers in the UAE, Bloom Holding creates more than just properties; it conceptualizes and manages entire communities. From schools to hospitality and outdoor spaces – Bloom Holding integrates it all into its developments.

Developing an entire portfolio of homes, hospitality and schools is quite the undertaking. Bloom Holding has mastered it though. The company has completed and delivered more than 5,000 residences in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Another 5,000 are in the pipeline. As far as its hospitality projects go, some of its well-known establishments include the Marriott Downtown, The Abu Dhabi Edition, and Bloom Arjaan by Rotana. Bloom Holding also manages 18 schools and serves more than 21,000 students.

The company’s CEO, Wakim, says that Bloom Holding diversifies within real estate, hospitality, landscape services, education, and facilities management, which allows investors and end-users to take advantage of opportunities within Bloom Holding. Wakim expands on how the company is driven by its customers and plans with longevity in mind when constructing high-ROI projects. However, what matters most to Wakim is quality. As an architect himself, Wakim understands good construction and takes note of every detail when it comes to building Bloom homes. He ensures each residence is built to the highest standards and provides residents with ample space.

This dedication to quality continues with the company’s newest landmark project, Bloom Living. This fully integrated community spans 2.2 million square meters and is located in Abu Dhabi’s Zayed City. The development comprises 4,500 homes, from villas to townhouses and apartments. Wakim highlights how the project appeals to so many different nationalities and generations. In the middle of Bloom Living is the Bloom Living Town Center. It’s a community hub with high-end restaurants, cafes, retail shops, a medical clinic, a wellness center, and a supermarket. The community includes two international schools and places of worship. There’s also a lake with a promenade that goes around it for residents to get outside and socialize.

Staying active outdoors is integral to Bloom Living. The development is filled with parks that flow into each other, along with pools, sports, and recreational facilities. The heart of Bloom Living is the Bloom Living Plaza, a climate-controlled gathering place with a variety of restaurants and coffee shops. It’s the perfect place to spend time with friends and family year-round.

Bloom Living is the latest achievement in the company’s growing list of successes. In the future, Wakim hopes to continue growing the business and expanding beyond the UAE’s borders, but will always keep the trust and quality that the Bloom Holding name stands for.
