UAE property developers could increase their profits by more than 10 percent from projects

As the GCC real estate landscape continues to evolve, one company is emerging as a game-changer—quietly, yet powerfully. Kaizen AI, an India-born proptech startup, is redefining the economics and sustainability of large-scale real estate development through Artificial Intelligence (AI).
With over 150 projects optimised across seven countries and US$ 5.4bn in added value, Kaizen AI is rapidly gaining recognition as one of the most impactful players in global proptech — and one to watch closely in the UAE.
In this massive and increasingly competitive landscape, Kaizen AI empowers developers and architects to unlock millions in added value—using advanced AI to optimise space planning, reduce costs, and improve project efficiency without compromising design intent.
Expansion
The company’s expansion into the GCC region, including Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah, Muscat, and Riyadh, marks a new chapter for the firm, whose platform has already delivered an average 10.26 percent increase in project value for leading developers. These results are achieved without altering the architect’s design intent, making Kaizen AI a seamless and scalable solution for design and planning optimisation.
“Our goal is simple: to maximise profitability, enhance sustainability, and help developers and architects make smarter, faster design decisions using AI,” stated Jay Shah, Founder and CEO, Kaizen AI.
“The built environment is one of the largest contributors to climate change and capital expenditure. With Kaizen, we’re enabling stakeholders to build not just more profitably—but more responsibly,” he added.
Speculative valuations
Unlike many AI ventures that rely on speculative valuations and VC capital, Kaizen AI runs on a performance-based, fee-for-service model—charging a percentage of the value it creates. This approach has made even the most traditional real estate players eager adopters.
As the UAE and wider GCC continue to prioritize sustainable development, smart cities, and innovation-led infrastructure, Kaizen AI is poised to become a powerful enabler for the region’s ambitious vision, the press release concluded.
