News DeskDubai, UAE – Canadian smart building leader 1VALET Corp has officially announced its expansion into the United Arab Emirates, aiming to capture a significant share of the rapidly growing regional property technology (PropTech) market. The firm is set to introduce its proprietary hardware and operating software solution across the seven emirates, promising to transform multi-residential units into “smart profit centres.”
The move comes as the UAE sharpens its focus on technology and innovation, aligning perfectly with the global smart home market, which is projected to reach approximately $162.27 billion in value by 2025 and continue significant growth beyond 2030. This growth is largely fuelled by millennial homebuyers who prioritise convenience, security, and energy efficiency.
1VALET’s solution is engineered not just for residents but specifically to enhance the portfolios of real estate developers and asset managers. The company asserts that its platform enables multi-residential units to be sold and rented faster and at higher multiples, significantly increasing asset value.
“By turning buildings into smart profit centers, we deliver developers new revenue opportunities, give managers powerful tools for efficiency, and offer residents unmatched user experience with remote control capability, convenience and sustainability,” stated Jean-Pierre Poulin, Founder and President of 1VALET.
Poulin emphasised that the company offers a complete, integrated ecosystem spanning from the curb to the apartment unit. This includes its family of entry consoles, a robust resident engagement app, and key integrations with third-party hardware and IoT devices.
“We don’t just digitise buildings — we create ecosystems,” he added. “Our platform unifies access control, resident engagement, and building operations into one seamless experience that drives both convenience and profitability. 1VALET is redefining smart living in Dubai — transforming a building’s DNA into intelligent communities.”
Latif Habib, Partner at 1VALET, highlighted the tangible benefits for residents, focusing on security and day-to-day convenience.
“From secure deliveries and smart access to real-time communication with building management, residents enjoy the convenience of having the luxury to book amenities, services on the spot, and achieve peace of mind every day,” Habib explained. He also stressed the firm’s commitment to regional compliance, noting that the system is built with end-to-end encryption, local data residency compliance, and strict adherence to Dubai’s privacy regulations, ensuring that “security is non-negotiable for us.”
The technology’s focus on optimising resources in real-time is also positioned as a key contributor to the UAE’s sustainability agenda by reducing waste and promoting energy efficiency across potentially nearly a million homes.
