Imtiaz Developments receives prestigious Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Medal for Philanthropy

In a landmark event, His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai conferred the prestigious Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Medal for Philanthropy to Imtiaz Developments. The honour was conferred upon the real estate company’s CEO, Masih Imtiaz, at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI) Year in Review event held on March 18, 2025 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

The award recognises Imtiaz’s outstanding contributions to the UAE’s real estate sector and its pledge to philanthropy and sustainable development. Imtiaz Developments’ recent donation of Dh50 million to the MBRGI’s Father’s Endowment campaign will support the establishment of an endowment building within the education complex operated by Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI) in Dubai Academic City.

Revenues from the endowment building will contribute to the campaign’s mission of improving healthcare in impoverished communities. This includes developing hospitals, providing essential medical equipment and medications, expanding capacity, and upgrading operating rooms. These efforts will create sustainable opportunities to enhance the quality of life for those in need.

Commenting on this distinguished accolade, Masih Imtiaz stated:

"Receiving this esteemed recognition from His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum is a defining moment in my journey. This recognition is not just a personal milestone but a reflection of our collective responsibility to contribute to the UAE’s vision and global humanitarian efforts. Giving back is an integral part of our values at Imtiaz Developments, and we remain dedicated to initiatives that uplift communities and create a lasting positive impact."

"Dubai has been the foundation of my aspirations and success. Under the visionary leadership of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad, the emirate has evolved into the world’s most dynamic and forward-thinking city — an unparalleled hub of innovation, excellence, and opportunity. It is a profound honour to contribute to this journey, building world-class developments while upholding the values of generosity, sustainability, and community empowerment. This recognition strengthens my commitment to continue supporting initiatives that enrich lives and drive positive change."

At its core, Imtiaz Developments is not just about building remarkable properties, it is about building a better future for communities. This philosophy extends beyond real estate, with Masih Imtiaz and the Imtiaz Group actively engaging in humanitarian initiatives that create lasting social impact.

Recognising the transformative power of education, Imtiaz Developments has been a strong advocate for access to quality learning. Through generous contributions, the company has helped fund the construction and development of schools in Africa, ensuring that underprivileged children have the opportunity to build brighter futures.

Imtiaz has also been at the forefront of disaster relief and community aid initiatives, making significant donations to support flood relief efforts in Dubai. These contributions have directly impacted affected families, providing them with essential resources, shelter, and assistance during times of crisis.

In alignment with its sustainability vision, Imtiaz Developments has partnered with the Emirates Environmental Group to drive reforestation efforts. For every unit built, the company commits to planting 2,000 trees, reinforcing its dedication to environmental conservation and sustainability.
