UK-based 5th Street has expanded into the Middle East, establishing a strategic presence in Dubai – one of the world’s most dynamic real estate markets.
Established in 2020, 5th Street is a technology consultancy firm specialised in the implementation of real estate systems, with a focus on Yardi. US-headquartered Yardi is one of the world’s leading providers of property management software, used by hundreds of real estate clients worldwide.
5th Street supports real estate groups with the design and implementation of Yardi, as well as with optimisation, training and support services. 5th Street also has a data offering, focused on data governance and business intelligence related to Yardi.
Commenting on the expansion into the Middle East, Managing Director Matthew Burnham said, “This is a natural step in our growth strategy. As one of the most exciting real estate technology markets on the planet, the region presents immense opportunities. We are excited to partner with regional businesses to maximise the value they are getting from their real estate technology investment and position 5th Street as the go-to Yardi partner in the market.”
Carla Jarkas Finnegan, Regional Lead for the Middle East at 5th Street added, “As the Middle East real estate sector continues to evolve, we see tremendous opportunities to drive digital transformation through expert Yardi solutions. Our goal is to empower businesses with smarter, more efficient technology to maximise their potential.”
According to Finnegan, 5th Street will bring to the region a unique mix of global best practice with an understanding of the local market dynamics and regulatory landscape, ensuring clients receive high-quality services that drive long-term success.

Meanwhile, for Yardi, the move means that its clients can now receive support from one of its trusted implementation partners across Europe and North America.
“We are excited to see 5th Street expanding its operations to the Middle East, bringing its Yardi expertise to this dynamic market. As a long-term member of the Yardi Consulting Network, 5th Street continues to play a key role in helping businesses maximise the value of their real estate technology,” said Neal Gemassmer, Vice President and General Manager of International at Yardi.
