East & West International Group

What East & West International Group does

East & West International Group (EWIG) is a privately held, Abu Dhabi-headquartered integrated real estate group founded in 1993 that develops, owns, and manages residential, commercial, and labour-accommodation properties across four UAE emirates — Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Al Ain, and Sharjah. The company maintains a portfolio exceeding 30 residential assets (villas, compounds, and high-rise towers), more than 15 commercial assets (office towers, retail spaces, and warehouses), and large-scale worker housing facilities, with the Dusit Thani Complex alone housing 654 residential units and the TWC labour accommodation providing 13,385-person capacity. Operations are supported by a wholly-owned integrated facility management subsidiary (Emirates International Facility Management LLC / EIFM) that delivers 24/7 maintenance, landscaping, and amenity services across the portfolio, and by a customer portal (customerportal.ewp.ae) that enables tenant self-service for enquiries and account management.

EWIG is ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certified and operates under a two-tier governance structure comprising an Executive Board and Risk, Investment, and Audit & Compliance committees. The company is affiliated with DAS Holdings Group through shared email domains ([email protected], [email protected]) and an overlapping subsidiary ecosystem that includes Grove (landscaping) and Tawasul Transport, though no formal parent-company relationship is disclosed.

The business model is built on recurring annual rental revenue across four streams: residential property rentals (12-month tenancy agreements, AED 20,000 to AED 100,000+ depending on unit type and location), commercial property rentals (offices, showrooms, retail, warehouses), labour accommodation rentals (room-based worker housing), and professional facility management services via EIFM. The go-to-market is sales-led: direct office sales in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, a self-serve customer portal, phone/WhatsApp enquiry lines, and a content-marketing blog. Customer segments span individual residential tenants, commercial tenants (including named logos Aramex and Al Raha International School), and employers/contractors sourcing worker housing.
