Talal M. Al Gaddah, CEO, Keturah luxury brand, says developers in Dubai now have a key role to play in supporting the initiative by creating the homes and environments that make life better.

 The Dubai Longevity Authority has been established to develop the emirate as the world's leading hub for regulated longevity, wellness and advanced healthcare, and open up channels for investment in the sector.

 "This is exactly the kind of institutional commitment that sets Dubai apart,” said Al Gaddah. “A dedicated government body with a clear mandate to lead the world in longevity and wellness sends a message that resonates well beyond the healthcare sector. Developers in Dubai now have a framework to align with and a standard to meet. The residents who will live in the communities we are creating today deserve homes that reflect the same ambition the new authority represents; homes that make life better, and allow people to thrive."

 Keturah has two luxury residential communities under development in Dubai which place wellness and healthy living at the heart of their design, construction and the everyday experience of the people who will call them home.

 The Ritz-Carlton Residences at Keturah Resort, on the shores of Dubai Creek adjacent to the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, will be the Middle East's first fully wellness-certified resort.

 With creek-side mansions, apartments, a Ritz-Carlton boutique hotel and a standalone wellness centre, the resort is certified by Delos, the US-based wellness real estate and technology firm, and the International WELL Building Institute.
