Building Greener: Why Our Partnership with AGSI Is About More Than Steel

At Fakhruddin Properties, sustainability is not a layer we add to a project at the end. It is a decision we make before the first line is drawn. Our latest partnership reflects exactly that thinking.

We have signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Arabian Gulf Steel Industries LLC (AGSI), the UAE’s largest private steel producer and recycler, to integrate Net Zero steel across our future development portfolio. It is a partnership built around a shared belief: that the buildings we construct today should leave a measurably better footprint for tomorrow.

Why this partnership matters

As one of the most widely used materials in construction, steel is central to the industry’s transition toward more sustainable and efficient building practices. Embodied carbon, the emissions locked into the materials of a building before a single resident moves in, is an area that has historically received far less attention than operational energy use. That is beginning to change, and we want to be part of that change in a meaningful, verifiable way.

AGSI produces construction steel from 100% locally sourced recycled raw materials. Their Abu Dhabi facility is verified as carbon-neutral, operating with one of the lowest carbon intensities in the region. When we say we are integrating Net Zero steel into our projects, that is exactly what it means. Not an aspiration. A material specification.

Beyond a supplier relationship

What makes this MoU different from a standard procurement agreement is the depth of the collaboration it establishes. AGSI will be involved at the early design and engineering stages of relevant Fakhruddin developments, ensuring sustainability is integrated from the very beginning of the process. Sustainable materials need to be considered from the concept phase for them to have genuine impact, and that is the framework we are building together.

We are also exploring a closed-loop model, one in which recycled steel materials generated within the Fakhruddin ecosystem feed back into AGSI’s production process, with finished low-carbon steel returning into our projects. This circularity approach reduces waste, improves material traceability, and supports the kind of sustainable lifecycle management that long-term responsible development demands.

Local value chains, national vision

This partnership is also a statement about how we believe the UAE’s sustainable construction ecosystem should develop. By working directly with a local manufacturer committed to decarbonisation, we are strengthening supply chains that serve the country’s Net Zero 2050 agenda from within. It is the kind of developer-manufacturer collaboration that we hope becomes a model for the region.

As Yousuf Fakhruddin, CEO and Managing Partner, Fakhruddin Properties, shared: “The transition to Net Zero construction requires ecosystem collaboration. Through this partnership, we are aligning development strategy with material innovation, ensuring that sustainability is embedded from concept through completion.”

A commitment that compounds

Every decision in a development either adds to or subtracts from its long-term environmental integrity. Choosing who supplies your structural steel, and why, is one of those decisions. We are proud to be making it with a partner that has made net zero not just central to their business strategy, but their entire reason for operating the way they do.

This is what building with intention looks like.

Tréppan redefines residential living in Dubai

The project is poised to set a new benchmark in Dubai’s real estate landscape

DUBAI: Fakhruddin Properties has unveiled Tréppan Living, a forward-thinking residential concept that reimagines the role of the home as a fully integrated ecosystem designed to enhance human wellbeing. Rooted in the pillars of sustainability, wellness, and intelligent technology, Tréppan Living represents a significant evolution in how modern communities are conceived and experienced.

At its core, Tréppan Living introduces a philosophy where living spaces actively support the physical, mental, and emotional health of residents. Advanced air purification systems and dynamic ventilation technologies work seamlessly to maintain superior indoor air quality, while precisely regulated temperature and humidity levels create an environment optimized for rest, recovery, and cognitive performance.

Water quality is equally prioritized, with every residence delivering mineral-rich, alkaline, hydrogenated water directly from the tap—eliminating the need for bottled water and reducing environmental impact. This holistic approach ensures that wellness is not an added feature, but a continuous, lived experience embedded into daily life.

“Our vision with Tréppan Living was simple yet transformative: to create homes that genuinely care for the people who live in them,” said Yousuf Fakhruddin, CEO and Managing Partner of Fakhruddin Properties
“Every detail has been intentionally designed to support wellbeing, from the air residents breathe to the intelligent systems that anticipate their needs.”

Powering this ecosystem is HomeSoul, an AI-driven platform that intuitively manages and personalizes the living environment. By learning from resident behavior and environmental data, the system proactively adjusts comfort settings, enhances energy efficiency, and streamlines everyday interactions—creating a seamless and effortless living experience.

Dubai, 10 February, 2026: Leading sustainability and wellbeing lifestyle developer Fakhruddin Properties has announced the launch of Treppan Living Privé, an exclusive collection of luxury branded residences on Dubai Islands, designed around vitality, longevity, and future-focused living.

Treppan Living Privé is the developer’s third residential launch on Dubai Islands, following the successful delivery of Treppan Living Hatimi and Treppan Living Serenique, further reinforcing Fakhruddin Properties’ position as one of the principal landowners and most active lifestyle developers within the islands masterplan.

Comprising just 65 fully furnished, low-density residences, Treppan Living Privé has been intentionally designed to preserve privacy, calm, and long-term wellbeing. The limited collection includes one-bedroom Privé Executive Suites with a generous footprint starting at 1,028 square feet; two-bedroom Privé Family Suites from 1,617 square feet; and a duo of four-bedroom Privé Signature Penthouses offering an exceptional 3,592-plus square feet of living and entertaining space.

Located just minutes’ walk from the shoreline, all residences enjoy a combination of sea, beach and golf course views, located within a tranquil beachside setting and supported by an intelligent living environment designed to support better sleep, cleaner air, ease of movement, and optimised comfort.

Treppan Living Privé is also the first project introduced following Treppan Living’s recent unveiling of Bollywood actor, producer and entrepreneur John Abraham as the Global Brand Ambassador; whose personal philosophy of discipline, balance, and longevity aligns closely with the wellness-led ethos underpinning the development.

Setting a new benchmark for holistic residential wellness, Treppan Living Privé is the only development on Dubai Islands to feature a comprehensive suite of biohacking therapies integrated directly into the residential experience. These include red light therapy, cryotherapy, floatation therapy, and a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, alongside hot and cold plunge pools, steam and sauna facilities, and dedicated recovery spaces. Together, these clinically supported therapies are designed to enhance energy levels, improve sleep quality, accelerate recovery, and promote long-term vitality as part of everyday living.

Commenting on the launch, Yousuf Fakhruddin, CEO and Managing Partner of Fakhruddin Properties, said: “Treppan Living Privé represents the next evolution of our wellness-driven residential vision on Dubai Islands. This is a deliberately limited, high-privacy community where vitality is supported daily and longevity is considered by design. From advanced recovery therapies and intelligent home systems to curated lifestyle and social spaces, every element has been thoughtfully integrated to support balance, comfort, and quality of life over time.”

Homes at Treppan Living Privé are supported by intelligent systems that quietly manage indoor comfort, air quality, and energy efficiency. Residents benefit from NASA-grade air purification technology, cleaner indoor air, and pure mineralised hydrogenated drinking water available directly within the home, which significantly reduces reliance on plastic bottled water. Intelligent robot delivery systems further enhance convenience, reinforcing the seamless, future-ready living experience.

A carefully curated lifestyle podium anchors the community, featuring The Azure, a water-led destination for movement and restoration with an aqua gym and endless pool, and The Social Pavilion, which includes a stylish clubhouse, working pods, misting majlis, and the signature Greenhouse Café. The Wellness Centre provides indoor and outdoor gyms, yoga and fitness studios, massage rooms, and access to personal training, health, and nutrition consultations, supported by a structured calendar of wellness programming and in-home services.

Family-focused amenities include the Explorer Garden and Kids’ Zone, offering a children’s pool, zip lines, adventure wall, play areas, and sand pit playground, while the rooftop level is designed for relaxation and social connection, with an infinity pool, water loungers, open-air showers, sunbeds, and panoramic roof deck.
