The client

DAMAC application design.

DAMAC Properties develops luxury homes and is among the leading names doing so in the Middle East, with close to 25,000 delivered and a portfolio of almost 40,000 units in progress. Since 2002 it has built across the Gulf and beyond it — Oman and Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, Jordan and Lebanon, and the United Kingdom.

Its position rests on strategy held over the long term, on execution, and on adopting new technology early — plus partnerships with names such as Versace Home, Fendi CASA and the Trump Organisation.

The challengeWhat the teams actually needed

Leading players in real estate worldwide are investing heavily in technology, and DAMAC wanted everything its agents need available at their fingertips.

Challenge 01Agents as the main asset

What distinguishes the company from other developers is how it supports its agents, so the product had to be built for them.

Challenge 02Everything in one place

Offers, property details, sizes, locations and specifications all had to be reachable without leaving the app.

Challenge 03Both platforms

The product had to run on iOS and Android to cover the whole target audience.

An in-built calculator lets an agent estimate a mortgage for a client automatically rather than working it out separately.

Area 03 · Offers

Feature

A PDF in a few clicks

The Sales Offer Creator generates a PDF file in a handful of clicks, which is where agents were losing time.
