Dubai, UAE — Itihad Community Management has successfully renewed the WELL Health-Safety Rating renewal in Dubai, a globally recognized certification that verifies health, safety, and resilience standards in communities. This renewal underscores Itihad’s commitment to delivering safe, sustainable, and future-ready environments across the buildings it manages in Dubai.
