FAO Real Estate achieves WiredScore and SmartScore pre-certified at The Mews, Riyadh
 

FAO Real Estate, a development company specialised in building residential and commercial projects and creating promising investment opportunities, achieved WiredScore and SmartScore pre-certifications for its mixed-use project, The Mews.
The WiredScore certification is the global digital connectivity rating scheme, while the SmartScore certification delivers an industry definition for smart buildings and provides a framework to implement them. It is closely aligned with international real estate bodies including the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.
John Hilliard, Middle East Lead, WiredScore, commented, “The Middle East is an incredibly dynamic market. Its visionary government strategies tackle the key issues of our time with an unparalleled pace of innovation. We are delighted to see our client, FAO Real Estate,
participating in this movement. Through their WiredScore and SmartScore certifications, they are showing their commitment to providing a first-class building experience for future generations.”
Abdulaziz Alhamzah added,“By achieving WiredScore and SmartScore pre-certification designations, FAO Real Estate has demonstrated its commitment to future-proofing The Mews for years to come in an ever increasingly competitive real estate landscape. By placing digital
connectivity and inspirational user experience at the heart of their strategy, FAO Real Estate is demonstrating its attention to creating a first-class mixed-used environment for its tenants and visitors and to impacting the dynamism of our cities for the better. Smart buildings will play a key
role in creating more attractive, efficient and sustainable workplaces that allow individual productivity to flourish and where people can meet and collaborate.”

Rohan Chandavarkar, Associate Digital Delivery, AESG, commented, “We commend FAO Real Estate for their leadership in aiming to deliver and operate efficient, sustainable and smart built assets and set new standards thus redefining the future of the built
environment.”
