Dubai​, October​ 7​,  2026:The Supreme Committee for Urban Planning, in coordination with​ Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and Dubai​  Municipality, has launched a new visual identity and enhanced​  addressing system for areas across the Emirate of Dubai. The initiative

includes the installation and replacement of area identification signs,​  internal street name signs, and house number plates, featuring unified
designs and colours that reflect the geographic characteristics of each​ area.
Developed through a specialist consultant in wayfinding and addressing​ design, the new system will help facilitate the identification of locations​ and improve accessibility, while enhancing the visual appeal of streets,
residential neighbourhoods, and commercial districts.
The launch forms part of efforts to establish an integrated and clear​ addressing system that keeps pace with Dubai’s rapid urban
development. Going beyond its traditional wayfinding role, the new system​ is designed to become an integral component of the visual identity of​ Dubai’s areas, while contributing to the enhancement of streets and road​ facilities and highlighting the geographic and urban characteristics that​ distinguish communities across the emirate.

The implementation plan covers 186 areas distributed across 19​ sectors throughout Dubai, under a phased programme that will begin in
the fourth quarter of 2026 and continue through 2030. The first phase of​ the project will commence this year and will include the installation and​ replacement of more than 2,000 signs across five areas: Za’abeel 1,​ Za’abeel 2, Nad Al Sheba, Al Khawaneej 1, and Nazwa, in accordance​ with the approved visual identity for each area.
The new visual identity incorporates five colours specifically designed to​ reflect the character and geographic features of Dubai’s various areas,​ providing each with a distinctive visual signature while maintaining a clear​ and consistent addressing system across the emirate. The selected​ colours have been carefully aligned with the nature of each area. For​ example, blue represents areas located close to the sea, while gold​ symbolises areas characterised by a desert environment, reflecting the​ diversity of Dubai’s landscapes and urban fabric.
The new identity encompasses sector and area identification signs,​ internal street name signs, and house number plates, with designs and
colour schemes developed to achieve visual integration across all​ components of the addressing system. Future project deliverables will
extend the identity to bus stops, smart applications, and area map boards.​ 
In addition, QR codes will be introduced to provide information about​  sectors and areas, the meanings behind street and area names, points of​ interest, and other relevant location-related content.
In coordination with Dubai Municipality, RTA has established a set of​ criteria to determine implementation priorities across the emirate. These
include urban growth and population density, the vibrancy and centrality of​ areas, the presence of residential and tourist attractions, and the
proportion of streets that have not yet been formally addressed. This​ approach ensures that project implementation aligns with urban
development trends and the needs of residents across Dubai.
As part of the continued rollout of the new addressing identity, RTA has​ coordinated with Dubai Municipality to complete and approve the final
designs for house number plates. These plates will feature each​ property's Makani number and corresponding QR Code, with colours
harmonised with those of the new addressing signs to enhance visual​  integration, reinforce a unified identity, and further facilitate location
identification.

Dubai, October 7, 2026: Hazza Zaal, CEO of Al Barari and Founder of Elemental Developments, has launched Elemental 78, a completed boutique residential development that brings nature-led design and resort-style amenities to Jumeirah Garden City.
Featuring a limited collection of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, Elemental 78 carries the philosophy behind Al Barari into an urban setting. Climbing greenery, mature planting and thoughtfully landscaped spaces connect residents with nature throughout the building, shaping an environment centred on comfort, wellbeing and everyday living.
A defining feature of the development is its collection of resort-style amenities. The rooftop swimming pool and private cabanas create a setting for relaxation above the city, complemented by a miniature garden, viewing deck and dedicated yoga space. A Technogym-equipped gym supports daily fitness, while landscaped lounges and a koi pond bring moments of calm to the shared spaces.
Designed for families, couples and individuals alike, the development also features indoor and outdoor children’s play areas and a family barbecue area equipped with digital screens and cooling provisions. Together, these spaces make leisure, movement and time with loved ones part of life at home.
The residences extend this attention to detail through considered layouts, refined finishes and carefully selected materials. With construction complete and show apartments open, prospective buyers can experience the homes, amenities and surrounding environment firsthand.
Located in the heart of Dubai, Elemental 78 places residents approximately nine minutes from City Walk, five minutes from J1 Beach, five minutes from Downtown Dubai and 15 minutes from Dubai International Airport.
Speaking about the launch, Hazza Zaal, Founder of Elemental Developments and CEO of Al Barari, said:
“As cities grow, access to nature becomes increasingly important to how people live and feel. At Elemental 78, greenery has shaped the development from the outset, influencing the architecture, shared spaces and everyday residential experience. The ambition is to carry the philosophy behind Al Barari into the city, creating homes that bring nature, comfort and thoughtful design closer to daily life.”
He added:
“Jumeirah Garden City is an area that is very dear to me. It offers a central location with close connections to some of Dubai’s most established destinations. With Elemental 78, we wanted to complement that connectivity with a sense of retreat at home. From the rooftop pool and cabanas to the gardens and spaces for gathering, every amenity has been considered around how people spend their time and what makes that time meaningful.”
As Elemental Developments’ first ready-to-move-in project, Elemental 78 marks a significant milestone for the company and provides a tangible expression of its approach to residential development. Its completion at launch allows homeowners and investors to assess the finished project and experience the quality of its design and execution directly.

The launch marks a strategic step in the Group’s Dubai expansion, establishing its presence in an emerging destination where waterfront landscapes, green spaces and access to the city are shaping a new residential community.

Verso introduces a quieter, greener perspective on Dubai, where an active, social lifestyle sits comfortably alongside moments of retreat. Époque takes its inspiration from the enduring qualities of classic design, bringing understated elegance and a more intimate residential setting to the same destination. Together, the projects offer buyers a choice of homes with individual identities and a shared emphasis on everyday comfort.

Andrea Nucera, Group Managing Director of Reportage, said: “Our debut in Meydan Horizon marks a significant step in expanding Reportage’s presence in Dubai. We see long-term potential in a destination that brings together connectivity, green spaces and waterfront living. By introducing Verso and Époque together, we are establishing our presence with two distinct residential concepts that respond to different buyer priorities. This reflects our approach to growth: choosing locations with a clear role in the city’s future and developing homes whose character and everyday appeal support lasting value for residents and investors.”

Verso: A Different Pace of City Living

Verso’s “The Other Side” concept explores a different relationship with city living, where proximity to Dubai’s energy is balanced by the freedom to step away from its intensity. It reflects the idea that a connected urban lifestyle can also offer open surroundings, time outdoors and room to slow down. For residents, this means a home that accommodates both an active, social life and the need for privacy and retreat.

A padel court, gymnasium and large swimming pool support an active routine, while a yoga area, landscaped spaces and shaded seating offer places to unwind. Children’s play areas, a splash pad and a dedicated children’s pool create opportunities for family time, while foosball and table tennis provide opportunities for informal recreation and social connection. A retail area and 192 private parking spaces add everyday convenience.

Set on a 2,487 sq.m plot, Verso comprises 174 residences, including 113 one-bedroom apartments, 59 two-bedroom apartments and two four-bedroom residences. Its range of homes accommodates different household needs, from a first home to a larger family residence. The development comprises two basement levels, a ground floor, two podium levels and 15 upper floors.

Époque: Contemporary Living with Enduring Character

Époque is a premium residential development shaped by its “Remain Classic” philosophy, bringing together refined architecture, thoughtful composition and understated elegance. Its approach to classic design is rooted in qualities that retain their relevance beyond passing trends, creating homes that grow more familiar with time while preserving their distinctive character.

Set on a 1,732 sq. m plot, Époque is a mixed-use tower comprising 60 residences, including 15 one-bedroom apartments and 45 two-bedroom apartments. The residences combine everyday comfort with enduring design within a more intimate residential setting. The development comprises two basement levels, a ground floor, one podium level and six upper floors.

The premium living experience extends to a considered collection of lifestyle and wellness facilities. A residents’ lounge provides a setting for company and conversation, while a large swimming pool and gymnasium support recreation and wellbeing. Landscaped areas, shaded seating and a promenade offer places to enjoy a gentler pace outdoors, complemented by lagoon views. A dedicated children’s pool, splash pad and children’s play areas cater to younger residents, while foosball and table tennis provide additional leisure options. A retail area and 67 private parking spaces support everyday convenience.

Two Distinct Identities, One Strategic Destination

Verso and Époque offer residents access to Meydan Horizon’s wider community amenities, including crystal lagoons, a canal, a boardwalk and a central park, creating opportunities for outdoor recreation and time by the water.

The location also keeps daily destinations within reach. Both projects are approximately 10 minutes by car from Dubai Design District and Dubai Creek Harbour, and approximately 15 minutes from Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport. Nearby schools and Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary add to the balance of urban convenience and access to nature.

The joint launch offers homebuyers and investors a range of residential options within this evolving destination, while establishing Reportage’s presence in a strategic location for its continued growth in Dubai.
