Abstract

The architect is the heart of the investment process. Consulting is a science and an art that only those who possess high taste, experience, and knowledge of the integrated elements that lead to the success of investment complexes. The research problem is the lack of comprehensive studies on integrating enabling strategies for residential investment projects. The research objective is to present a clear vision of integration in enabling residential investment complexes with utilitarian, aesthetic, and symbolic indicators. Accordingly, the hypothesis is that the strategy of allowing the housing unit and the housing complex is integrated for the success of enabling investment housing complexes. Achieving this required the construction of a theoretical framework consisting of two terms (the strategy of enabling the housing unit and the strategy of enabling the housing complex), which were employed in the practical study. For the residents, the study reached many conclusions and recommendations, including the success of the strategies for the two projects and the weakness of some vocabulary, including the symbolic, aesthetic, and utilitarian needs.
