Bass Ackermann arrived in Dubai in 2012, as a bright-eyed 20-something, ready to change the world. Ten years in the real estate game made him realize that if he was going to change anything he should start with Dubai’s rental accommodation.
His thinking was simple: where we live should enhance our lifestyle, not inhibit it. The way we live today needs to meet the aspirations of our generation which means conscious choices, flexibility, keeping it simple with the freedom to move.
Sounds obvious doesn’t it, but the best ideas usually do. Anyway, HIVE is Bass’ philosophy brought to life.

Frankly HIVE would be just another great idea waiting to happen if it wasn’t for A.R.M. Holding.
Patron of the arts and culture, a force for change and an enabler of new ventures focused on investments and collaborations with social impact, A.R.M. Holding has been instrumental in bringing HIVE to life.
We liked the HIVE concept from the get go. Uber, Spotify and Netflix changed the way we think about mobility, music and movies. HIVE is going to do the same for the way we think about apartment living.
