A Landmark Master Community in Dubai South
UK’s Largest Real Estate Roadshow Begins with a Historic Debut
14 June 2025 – Manchester, UK
BT Properties, the international development arm of Asia’s largest private real estate group Bahria Town, has officially launched its flagship UAE project WAADA in Manchester. The event, hosted at the prestigious Royal Nawab, marked the beginning of what is now being recognized as the biggest real estate roadshow in UK history.
Attended by a distinguished audience including Baron Nazir Ahmed, MP Mohammed Afzal Khan, and Deputy Mayor of Manchester Shaukat Ali, the event witnessed an overwhelming turnout from the British Pakistani community, business leaders, investors, and real estate professionals.
Following its grand unveiling in Dubai at the Grand Hyatt, WAADA’s UK introduction brings this visionary project directly to the British market, providing early access for investors to engage with one of Dubai’s most strategically located and thoughtfully designed master communities.
About WAADA
Set in Dubai South, adjacent to the Expo 2020 legacy site and just minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport, WAADA is a next-generation community aligned with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan.
Meaning “promise” in Urdu, WAADA represents a bold commitment to quality, sustainability, and long-term value.
The masterplan includes:
- Mid-rise residences, townhouses, skyline apartments, and signature mansions
- International schools and wellness centres
- Retail boulevards, lagoons, and green mobility pathways
- Abundant parks and walkable, family-friendly neighborhoods
A Legacy Built on Trust
With over 30 years of transformative development across Pakistan — in Lahore, Islamabad, and Karachi — BT Properties now brings its unparalleled experience, scale, and credibility to the UAE.
WAADA is not just a project; it’s the next chapter in a legacy of building cities, uplifting lives, and redefining what modern living can be.
Leadership Perspective
The launch presentation in Manchester was led by Global Sales Head Mr. Shahid Qureshi and Managing Director Mr. Salman Qureshi, who introduced the full WAADA masterplan to a packed audience of investors, advisors, and community figures.
An official message from Chairman and Founder Malik Riaz Hussain was also shared:
“For over 30 years, I have believed that the true measure of success is not what we build, but who we uplift. Bahria Town was never just a real estate venture — it was a mission to transform lives and restore dignity. As this legacy expands into Dubai through BT Properties and WAADA, our purpose remains unchanged: to build not just structures, but futures.”
Ahmed Ali Riaz Malik, Group CEO of BT Properties, added:
“WAADA reflects our most advanced thinking in design, livability, and strategic planning. We are proud to bring this promise to Dubai and share it with our valued audiences in the UK.”
Join the Journey
The Manchester event also offered a full visual and interactive experience of WAADA’s masterplan, allowing attendees to register early expressions of interest. With Phase 1 already generating immense interest, UK investors and families are invited to take part in this visionary community from the ground up.
