In a world where sustainability and luxury often seem at odds, One Za’abeel serves as an example of how eco-friendly practices can enhance, rather than diminish, a luxurious lifestyle. Developed by the Investment Corporation of Dubai with the architects at Nikken Sekkei, this iconic landmark sets new benchmarks for sustainability in urban development.

One Za’abeel’s commitment to sustainability is evident in every facet of its design and operation. The development incorporates a range of eco-friendly features designed to increase energy efficiency and reduce waste. Electric vehicle charge points, a condensate water collection system from AC units for irrigation, and a unique façade system to reduce heat gains are just a few of the sustainable initiatives in place.

One Za’abeel’s efforts to conserve energy and water, use green materials and prioritise user health and well-being earned it the prestigious LEED Gold certification in December 2023. Additionally, the development was named ‘Sustainable Residential Development’ and a ‘Five Star Winner’ for ‘Sustainable Commercial Development of the Year’ at the 2023 MENA International Property Awards.

Achieving such high standards of sustainability requires collaboration with experts in the field. WSP ME, the sustainability consultant for One Za’abeel, played a crucial role in integrating sustainable practices into the development. Its expertise ensures that One Za’abeel not only meets, but exceeds international standards for eco-friendly design and operation.

One Za’abeel’s approach to energy management is both comprehensive and forward-thinking. The installation of an extensive electricity and cooling metering network allows for the measurement and management of 100% of energy consumption. This system enables the continuous monitoring and optimisation of energy use, ensuring that the development remains efficient and sustainable over the long term.

At One Za’abeel, sustainability does not come at the expense of luxury. The development’s hospitality offerings, such as the One&Only urban resort and the SIRO wellness hotel, incorporate sustainable practices while providing an unparalleled level of comfort and style. From personalised nutrition plans and state-of-the-art recovery treatments to breathtaking views and first-class amenities, One Za’abeel proves that luxury and eco-friendliness can coexist beautifully.

One Za’abeel stands as a shining example of how sustainable development can elevate standards of living while protecting the environment. Its innovative design, commitment to sustainability and luxurious offerings set a new benchmark for mixed-use developments worldwide. As Dubai continues to grow and evolve, One Za’abeel remains a symbol of the city’s forward-thinking approach and its dedication to a greener, more sustainable future.
