Summary
SPONSORED What if the next property boom isn’t about sustainability at all, but regeneration — buildings that give back more than they take? In this episode of AB Majlis, Tala Michel Issa, Chief Reporter at Arabian Business, sits down with Alex Zagrebleny, founder and CEO of R.Evolution, the developer behind Dubai’s ambitious EYWA “Tree of Life” project. Zagrebleny explains why he believes “sustainability isn’t enough,” outlining his Generation 5.0 vision: homes that purify air and water, shield residents from EMF exposure, and even host hydroponic farms capable of producing up to 20 tonnes of vegetables a year. He also makes the hard-nosed financial case, arguing that a modest 5% construction premium can lift a building’s valuation by around 15%. From ancient Vedic design principles to 16-tonne crystal energy cores, this conversation explores how wellness, technology and solid economics might reshape the Gulf’s property market.
