1VALET Corp, a Canadian leader in smart building solutions, is making its way into the UAE with plans to reshape urban living across the seven emirates. Its advanced platform combines proprietary hardware with building management software to create a comprehensive urban ecosystem that maximises convenience, reduces waste, and opens new revenue streams for developers and property managers. This expansion aims to impact nearly a million homes, transforming how people live in the UAE.
The timing of 1VALET’s entrance into the market is notable, with the global smart home sector poised to reach a value of around $162.27 billion by 2025, according to various industry reports. This growth is expected to accelerate in the years ahead, fuelled by rising demand from Millennial homebuyers who prioritise convenience, security, and energy efficiency. In this context, the UAE, with its increasing focus on technological innovation in all areas of life and business, presents an ideal environment for 1VALET’s solutions.
Value for Developers and Property Managers
1VALET’s platform provides a significant advantage for developers and asset managers. By integrating its system, multi-residential units can be sold and rented more quickly and at higher values. The platform’s ability to differentiate properties and add value to portfolios makes it an attractive proposition for those in the property development sector.
Jean-Pierre Poulin, the Founder and President of 1VALET, highlighted the platform’s value: “By turning buildings into smart profit centres, 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.”
1VALET’s offerings include a suite of features designed to enhance daily living. Its family of entry consoles, resident app, and integrations with third-party hardware and IoT devices combine to create an experience that merges convenience with sustainability. Poulin emphasised that 1VALET doesn’t merely digitise buildings but transforms them into intelligent communities, delivering seamless integration of access control, resident engagement, and building operations.
A Step Towards Sustainability
The platform also aligns with Dubai’s sustainability agenda by helping reduce waste and optimise resource use in real-time. As Latif Habib, Partner at 1VALET, explained: “From secure deliveries and smart access to real-time communication with building management, residents enjoy the convenience of booking amenities and services on the spot, achieving peace of mind every day.”
Data security is also a top priority for 1VALET. The system ensures full end-to-end encryption, complies with local data residency regulations, and adheres strictly to Dubai’s privacy laws, making security a core aspect of its offering.
With this comprehensive solution, 1VALET is set to redefine the smart living experience in Dubai, providing developers, property managers, and residents with the tools they need for a connected, efficient, and sustainable lifestyle.
