Refine is revolutionizing Dubai’s real estate market with its pioneering DaaS concept
Refine, a pioneering real estate development and management company, empowers investors and developers to enter the market confidently. Founded on the game-changing, first-of-its-kind Development as a Service (Daas) concept, Refine offers investors the chance to harness generations of real-estate expertise and the power of Refine’s fully-fledged team and network, eliminating the need to build their infrastructure.
Under the leadership of Thomas Wan, a second-generation entrepreneur and Managing Partner at Refine, the company is not just redefining how investors and developers enter the market, but also achieving significant growth. Since its establishment in 2021, Refine has already achieved a management portfolio in excess of AED 7 billion, a testament to its success and potential.
“Refine is committed to transforming the real estate landscape in Dubai by offering innovative solutions that go beyond traditional development practices,” says founder Thomas Wan. “We create value in ways not seen before, thanks to our unique Development as a Service (DaaS) methodology. Our mission is to deliver exceptional quality for our clients at every stage of their journey with us and to enable investors and end users to enter the real estate market with confidence and peace of mind.”
With an impeccable track record of managing and delivering over AED 10 billion projects, Wan builds on the generational business acumen of a family business with more than 30 years of real estate heritage across China and the UAE.
Refine empowers its clients with a choice of either a monthly subscription or a ‘success fee only’ model, allowing them to select the most suitable option based on their specific requirements. Whether they prefer a ‘full journey’ approach or wish to hand-pick individual components of property development management, such as land acquisition, sales, marketing, or administration, Refine’s models represent true flexibility and cost-effectiveness, putting the control in the hands of the clients.
“Our quality-first approach is reflected in our impressive customer loyalty and retention, with more than 75% of our business represented by repeat clients and referrals,” adds Thomas.
Amongst the latest projects in the Refine portfolio include the recently launched Rixos Downtown Dubai Residences and St. Regis Financial Centre Road Dubai.
