The world’s largest metaverse developer comes to Dubai

LandVault, the largest builder in the metaverse, is expanding its presence to the MENA region.

LandVault, the world’s largest metaverse developer, will open an office in Dubai and begin operations later this month. The move is part of the company’s strategy to expand its presence within the MENA region and to tap into the expanding web3.0 ecosystem within the region while creating new opportunities for the company’s clients. To date, LandVault has built over 100 million square feet of virtual experiences for a wide, diverse range of clients, including Mastercard, Hershey’s, Standard Chartered, World of Women, and more. 

LandVault, like many companies operating in the online or metaverse sphere, sees the MENA region as a land of opportunity. The government’s Dubai Metaverse Strategy aims to turn the Emirate into one of the world’s top 10 metaverse economies, attracting more than 1,000 companies in the fields of blockchain and web3 and supporting more than 40,000 related jobs by 2030. By positioning itself within this global hub, LandVault aims to extend access to the metaverse further.  

Alongside its development activities, LandVault also intends to offer a range of services to the UAE’s real estate industry. The company’s technology will allow developers and real estate companies to showcase their projects in a way that was never possible, providing a more immersive and interactive experience for potential buyers. The hope is that developers and real estate companies will be able to reach a wider audience, including those who are not able to physically visit properties. LandVault believes that virtual tours and showrooms can provide a more accurate representation of a property, reducing the need for physical visits and saving time and resources.

“We are excited to open our office in Dubai and to be a part of the vibrant tech community in the UAE,” said Sam Huber, CEO of LandVault. “The MENA region is a key market for us, and we believe that our presence in Dubai will allow us to assist the region and explore new opportunities. We are also excited about the potential for the metaverse in the real estate industry in the UAE. We look forward to working with developers and real estate companies to showcase their properties in a new and innovative way.”
