The Rating rewards measures adopted
during the design development of the
project that meet the intent and
requirements of each credit.
Pearl Design Rating
It recognizes the additional
marketing value and branding a Pearl
Rating will afford a development in its
early sale or lease phase.
Pearl Design Rating
valid only until construction is complete,
and requires that all collateral, branding
and
communication materials identify the
project as a Pearl Design Rated project.
Pearl Design Rating
The Rating ensures that the commitments
made for the Design Rating
have been achieved.
Pearl Construction Rating
It requires that all collateral, branding and
communication materials
identify the project as a Pearl Construction
Rated project.
Pearl Construction Rating
The Rating assesses the built-in features
and operational performance of
an existing building and ensures the
building is operating sustainably.
Pearl Operational Rating

achieved a minimum of ___years after
construction completion and when the
building has reached a minimum
occupancy of ___%.?
a) 2 years, 80%
b) 3 years, 85%

has been introduced by the UPC to
provide a streamlined process for
reviewing development proposals.
The Development Review Process
The Development Review Process
comprises four steps:
Enquiry (Meeting),
Pre-Concept Stage,
Concept Planning Review and
Detailed Planning Review.
The UPC uses DR process for two main
purposes:
1. To ensure development proposals
comply with the Emirate's urban planning
policies (e.g. land uses, densities,
Estidama); and
2. To coordinate the review and approval
of development applications by external
government agencies.
The Pearl Building Rating System is
designed to address the following uses of
buildings, their sites and
associated facilities:
General,
Office,
Retail,
Multi-Residential,
School,
Mixed Use
this applies to all building uses and covers
the common requirements. Within
individual credits,
exemptions or differing requirements may
be specified for the following building uses:
General
this applies to offices and associated
spaces (meeting rooms, reception/waiting
areas, staff
facilities, server rooms etc).
Office
this applies to display and sale of goods,
food retail (supermarkets, convenience
stores), food
preparation (restaurants, cafs,
takeaways) and service providers (banks,
post offices, travel agencies). This
category also includes shopping centres,
department stores and retail parks. It does
not include isolated single use warehouse-
type retail developments.
Retail
this applies to multi-family residential
developments. All villas must be assessed
using the Pearl Villa Rating System.
Multi-Residential
this applies to primary schools, secondary
schools, sixth form colleges and further
and higher education/vocational colleges
and institutions.
School
this applies to combinations of two or
more of the above usage categories.
Where relevant,
individual credit calculations should be
based on an area-weighted average.
Mixed Use
each building seeking to achieve a Pearl
Rating will be assessed separately.
For campus style projects
It is
envisaged that the communal external
areas will be assessed using the ____.
PCRS - Pearl Community Rating System,
submission should be made at the end of
the construction documentation stage
The Design Rating
submission should be made on completion
of construction (this includes completion of
commissioning and IAQ management
where relevant).
