DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, 28th November 2025:  The Property Finder Awards 2025 returned to the Armani Hotel, Burj Khalifa last night. It united the UAE’s most influential real estate leaders for an evening dedicated to celebrating excellence across the industry, under the theme, A Night of Icons.

Agency leaders, top agents, developers, proptech innovators, government, media and influencers from across the UAE gathered to honour those who continue to raise the bar in one of the region’s most competitive real estate markets.

From the moment MC Nimi Mehta, renowned TV and radio host took to the stage, the evening came alive. Abz Ali, a celebrated Emirati comedian, delivered a high-energy performance that had the audience laughing throughout, while a surprise aerial dance troupe gave a breathtaking performance that captivated everyone in attendance.

A highlight of the evening was an exclusive performance from the cast of Once Upon a Time in Dubai, the UAE’s first original musical, followed by a standout set from superstar Craig David that electrified the room.

“When we launched the Property Finder Awards, our intention was simple: to shine a light on the people who elevate this industry every single day,” said Michael Lahyani, Founder and CEO of Property Finder. “What we saw again this year is the UAE market at its best. The Property Finder Award 2025 winners represent the standard our industry is moving towards, and we’re proud to stand behind the talent that is shaping the future of real estate in this country and helping us to change living for good in the region together.”
