Dubai, UAE – 29th May 2025: BNW Developments, one of the most prestigious names in global luxury real estate, has once again cemented its reputation as an exceptional workplace. Earlier this year, the company was recognised by the esteemed Great Place to Work® Institute as one of the ‘Best Workplaces – 2025’. Adding to this milestone, BNW Developments has now earned a second distinction—being ranked #12 on the ‘Best Workplaces in Real Estate – GCC 2025’ list, reinforcing its leadership not just in the industry but in workplace culture as well.
This recognition by Great Place to Work® is a testament to BNW’s consistent commitment to building a high-trust, high-performance environment that empowers individuals to thrive.
BNW Developments has rapidly grown to become a transformative force in the UAE’s real estate landscape, celebrated not only for its luxurious, design-forward developments but also for cultivating a deeply empowering workplace. The company’s forward-thinking policies, entrepreneurial growth environment, and cross-functional leadership mentoring have redefined internal culture in a traditionally transactional industry.

Ankur Aggarwal, Chairman and Founder of BNW Developments, commented on the dual achievement, “Being recognised as a Great Place to Work—and now being ranked among the top workplaces in the real estate sector—means more than just accolades. It’s a reflection of our collective mindset. At BNW, we don’t believe in hierarchies; we believe in hustle, innovation, and ownership. Our team isn’t just made up of employees—they’re entrepreneurs in the making. We’ve built a culture where voices are heard, ideas are nurtured, and each individual is empowered to take bold decisions with the full trust of leadership. For me, mentoring my team is non-negotiable. I see every high-performing professional as a future founder, and I take pride in enabling that journey. These recognitions only strengthen our resolve to build a company that’s not only a benchmark in real estate but also in human potential.”
Vivek Anand Oberoi, Managing Director and Co-founder of BNW Developments, added, “This dual recognition from Great Place to Work® validates what we’ve always believed—that success isn’t just measured in square feet sold, but in lives transformed. At BNW, we invest as deeply in our people as we do in our projects. Every achievement we’ve celebrated, every milestone we’ve crossed, is the result of a team that believes in the mission and in each other. We are incredibly proud of our people-first approach, and these awards reinforce our commitment to building a culture of excellence, integrity, and inspiration.”
As BNW Developments continues to shape the skyline of tomorrow, its impact is being felt far beyond the world of real estate. By institutionalizing values like mentorship, inclusion, and intrapreneurship, the firm stands tall as a beacon of workplace innovation in the GCC and beyond.
