COLABB, a Dubai-based commercial real estate investment and creative development firm, has announced its official launch.
COLABB is an interdisciplinary real estate platform that combines investment, interior design, and digital strategy under one umbrella. COLABB helps private and institutional investors acquire high-potential and future-defining commercial and hospitality properties by integrating acquisition, design, and execution.
The firm follows an integrative approach to real estate where each area complements the others: investment decisions are followed by creative strategy and visual storytelling, while renovation and repositioning increase the value of assets and projects.
COLABB is led by founder Olga Sukhanova who brings over 15 years of commercial real estate experience. Prior to founding COLABB, Sukhanova executed deals totaling over $300 million in the Moscow City project, Russia’s largest business district.

“The firm also assists with project consulting, bringing in architects, contractors, and partners from the beginning of the project phase. COLABB is more than just square footage and transactions, cultural impact is equally important to every project. COLABB was born from a desire to build with purpose and connect culture with capital. We want to go beyond transactions and create a platform where real estate, design, investment thinking, and creativity converge to deliver lasting value. We approach every project not as a product, but as a strategic and emotional experience.”
According to COLABB, traditional commercial real estate often leaves investors having to navigate and manage multiple vendors and contractors. This can lead to coordination issues, delays, and less than ideal processes and outcomes. COLABB’s approach integrates the process for investors.
COLABB handles everything from market analysis to property sourcing and selection, financial and legal support, and deal execution. For clients needing operational office spaces, the team handles property matching, lease terms, approvals, and contracts. After purchase or development, COLABB handles long-term management, operations, and tenant relations.
The firm operates through three integrated divisions: Invest, Interior, and Digital. This setup ensures that clients receive coordinated consulting services across all aspects of commercial real estate development, from the first acquisition to the final positioning and marketing.
