Bloom

Bloom Holding is a dynamic Abu Dhabi–based developer, launched in 2008 by National Holding. It has grown into a vertically integrated urban lifestyle firm—combining real estate, education, hospitality, landscaping, and facility management under one roof . With over 5,000 homes delivered and 20,000 units in the pipeline, the company is known for building holistic communities thoughtfully woven with schools, hotels, green spaces, and essential services.

What truly differentiates Bloom is its full-service ecosystem approach, offering residents convenience and longevity—mixing living, learning, leisure, and lifestyle. The firm’s hospitality arm features prominent brands like Marriott and Rotana, including the region’s first Marriott EDITION in Abu Dhabi.On the education front, Bloom Education oversees some 20 schools and a nursery network serving more than 21,000 students, including the Brighton College campuses and charter schools. Bloom Holding has earned numerous honors: in 2024 it secured three Arabian Property Awards and was ranked among the top 50 GCC developers; in 2025 it was named “Leading Community Development Company – UAE” by Global Economics.

Internationally, Bloom is expanding beyond the UAE—into the U.S. (Minnesota), Egypt (a K–12 school in Cairo), and Spain (a luxury residential JV in Marbella).

Its CEO, Carlos Wakim (joined 2021), brings over 25 years of experience across Emaar, Zabeel, TDIC, and Saudi’s AMAALA. He holds a Master’s in Architecture and has been featured in Forbes and Construction Week’s Power 150 rankings.In essence, Bloom Holding stands out as more than a developer—it is a creator of integrated, community-centric environments, recognized for sustainability, innovation, and seamless living.
