LEGACY BUILT

FUTURE FOCUSED.

MBAL is a century-strong force transforming legacy into leadership.

Our history is a foundation, but our future is what define us.

In 1924, Mostafa bin Abdullatif expanded his business operations by setting up a new office in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. A humble beginning that turned into a successful business mainly due to the vision of our pioneers for Dubai to become an important hub for trading routes between the Gulf States, India, and Europe. Today, the company has transformed into a foundation with close to 100 registered family members. Our shareholders' contribution to the company is an important factor for our success. The more we grow, the stronger we become. Our Board of Directors steers the group to the right direction and are guardians of shareholders' rights.

Sustainability & Dubai 2040

Building for Tomorrow, Designed Around People.

Sustainability is often defined as the ability for something to last over time. In our modern world, the conversation around sustainability has largely focused on environmental concerns—greener buildings, reduced emissions, and the preservation of natural resources. But true sustainability goes beyond architecture or environmental policy. It is about people. At its core, sustainability aims to ensure that future generations can enjoy long, healthy, and meaningful lives. And this philosophy lies at the heart of the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan.

Why do we build energy-efficient towers or protect our oceans from pollution? It is not just to comply with environmental standards or gain international recognition. We do it because we recognize that a clean environment—air, water, land—is essential for human well-being. A sustainable building is not only one that consumes less energy but one that enhances the health and comfort of its occupants. A sustainable ocean is not merely about biodiversity, but about sustaining the livelihoods of fishing communities, the economy, and food security for millions. In essence, we want our cities and ecosystems to be sustainable so that people can be sustainable—physically, emotionally, and economically

This human-centric approach to sustainability is what makes the Dubai 2040 Vision so compelling. The plan reimagines Dubai not just as a global city of infrastructure and innovation, but as a city that prioritizes the happiness, health, and well-being of its residents. It aims to double the amount of green and recreational space, enhance mobility, protect heritage areas, and ensure equitable access to services across communities. By placing people at the center of its long-term vision, Dubai is acknowledging that sustainable development is not about things—it is about lives.

The Dubai 2040 Vision recognizes that cities are living ecosystems. They must nurture both their natural surroundings and their human inhabitants. It is a vision that understands that sustainable buildings are important, but only because they contribute to sustainable lives. It understands that cleaner oceans matter because they support sustainable futures. And it understands that happy, healthy people are the ultimate measure of any city’s success.

In conclusion, sustainability is not a box to be checked or a trend to be followed. It is a commitment to making life better and longer for everyone. Dubai’s 2040 Vision shows that when cities invest in the sustainability of their environment, infrastructure, and culture, they are ultimately investing in the sustainability of their people.
