USEFUL INFORMATION
Dubai Holding is the strategic investment and development conglomerate directly owned by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum — established in 2004 as the primary vehicle for Dubai's most ambitious, most strategically consequential, and most globally impactful investment and development initiatives across real estate, hospitality, technology, media, and urban destination creation. The group's founding mandate was as bold and as consequential as the city it serves: to create the businesses, the destinations, the communities, and the global brand partnerships that would accelerate Dubai's transformation from a regional trading hub into the world's most dynamic, most globally connected, and most aspirationally desirable city — and to do so with the speed, ambition, quality, and creative vision that befits a city whose ruler has always dreamed bigger, built faster, and delivered more spectacularly than anyone in the world thought possible. Dubai Holding has delivered on that mandate with extraordinary consistency, creativity, and commercial success — building a portfolio of businesses and assets that are collectively worth hundreds of billions of dirhams, that employ tens of thousands of people, that attract millions of annual visitors, and that have permanently and irreversibly enhanced Dubai's global reputation, economic competitiveness, and quality of life in ways that no other corporate entity in the UAE's history has matched or approached.
The group's real estate portfolio alone — managed through Dubai Properties, Meraas, and TECOM Group — encompasses some of the most iconic, most globally recognized, and most investment-significant residential communities, lifestyle destinations, and urban districts in the entire Middle East: Jumeirah Beach Residence, Business Bay, Mudon, Villanova, Serena, La Vie, Marasi Business Bay, City Walk, Bluewaters Island, La Mer, Port de La Mer, Bvlgari Residences on Jumeirah Bay Island, Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City, Dubai Design District (d3), and a growing pipeline of new communities and destinations that will further extend Dubai Holding's extraordinary contribution to Dubai's urban fabric and residential investment landscape. The group's hospitality portfolio — anchored by the legendary Jumeirah Group — encompasses the iconic Burj Al Arab, the most recognized luxury hotel brand in the world, alongside a global collection of ultra-luxury urban and resort hotels across the UAE, UK, Maldives, and a growing number of international markets. Dubai Holding's technology and innovation portfolio — anchored by TECOM Group — encompasses Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City, Dubai Knowledge Park, Dubai Design District, and a collection of free zone and innovation ecosystem assets that house over 7,500 companies and 100,000+ knowledge economy professionals — creating the talent, the innovation, and the economic dynamism that makes Dubai's residential communities richer, its rental demand stronger, and its investment fundamentals more powerful with every passing year.
In 2026, Dubai Holding is delivering the most ambitious and most exciting chapter of its development story — expanding its residential portfolio through new Dubai Properties and Meraas community launches, growing its hospitality footprint through new Jumeirah Group hotel openings, deepening its technology ecosystem through new TECOM Group free zone developments, and launching new mixed-use destinations and urban experiences that continue to raise the global standard for what a world-class city can aspire to create, deliver, and celebrate.

1. The Acres — Meraas, Dubailand
The Acres is Dubai Holding Real Estate's most anticipated and most rapidly selling villa community of 2025–2026 — a nature-first luxury villa masterplan in Dubailand offering an extraordinary collection of standalone villas surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, meandering waterways, and an extraordinary central park of breathtaking green quality. The Acres sold out multiple phases within hours of each launch — a reflection of the extraordinary market confidence in Dubai Holding Real Estate's brand, delivery capability, and the compelling investment fundamentals of this beautifully conceived nature-immersive villa community.
Property Types & Pricing:
3-bedroom standalone villas — from AED 5.5 million
4-bedroom standalone villas — from AED 6.5 million
5-bedroom standalone villas — from AED 9 million
Plot sizes: 6,000–15,000 sq ft
BUA: 4,500–10,000 sq ft
Key Features:
60,000 sq m of lush tropical landscaping and nature trails
Crystal lagoon and waterway network throughout the community
Central park with farmers market, outdoor cinema, and community pavilions
Cycling and jogging tracks winding through natural landscape
Community retail center, fitness facilities, and swimming pools
Direct connectivity to Al Ain Road and Emirates Road corridors
Location: Dubailand — adjacent to Arabian Ranches 3 and the Emaar South corridor
Handover: 2027–2028
Payment Plan: 80/20 — 80% during construction, 20% on handover
Investment Potential: The Acres represents one of the most compelling luxury villa investment propositions in the current Dubai market — combining Dubai Holding Real Estate's government-backed brand premium, a genuine nature-first community concept that is entirely unique in the Dubai villa landscape, and a rapidly appreciating Dubailand location that has consistently delivered double-digit annual capital appreciation as the broader Dubai south and Dubailand corridor matures toward its full community potential. Comparable Dubai Holding villa communities — Mudon and Serena — have appreciated 40–60% since their original launch pricing — and The Acres, with its significantly more premium design concept, more generous landscaping, and more nature-immersive community identity, is positioned to deliver an appreciation trajectory that exceeds these already impressive benchmarks. Gross rental yields of 4–6% on strong absolute villa rental values are expected at community maturity — with 4-bedroom villas projected to achieve annual rents of AED 280,000–380,000 and 5-bedroom villas projected at AED 380,000–520,000.
2. Port de La Mer — Active Phases, Jumeirah
Port de La Mer is Dubai Holding Real Estate's most romantic and most architecturally distinctive residential community — a Mediterranean marina masterplan on the La Mer peninsula in Jumeirah that has established itself as one of Dubai's most coveted and most consistently in-demand luxury waterfront residential addresses. Multiple active construction phases continue to offer new waterfront apartment inventory across the community's beautifully conceived Mediterranean marina setting — giving investors ongoing access to one of Dubai's most irreplaceable waterfront addresses at pricing that reflects the community's continued development trajectory toward full maturity.

Payment Plan: 60/40 — 60% during construction, 40% on handover — select phases
Investment Potential: Port de La Mer is one of Dubai Holding Real Estate's most consistently performing and most investment-defensible residential communities — delivering gross rental yields of 5–7% alongside annual capital appreciation of 8–12% across multiple market cycles. The community's combination of absolute Arabian Gulf waterfront scarcity — the La Mer peninsula's total residential capacity is fixed and finite — La Mer beach lifestyle access, working marina premium, and the broader Jumeirah location premium creates an investment proposition of extraordinary defensibility and enduring value. 1-bedroom waterfront apartments generate annual rents of AED 100,000–140,000. 2-bedroom waterfront apartments generate AED 160,000–220,000. 3-bedroom penthouses and sky villas generate AED 280,000–450,000+ annually — reflecting the absolute premium rental demand commanded by this extraordinary waterfront address.

Location: City Walk, Jumeirah — Sheikh Zayed Road corridor
Handover: Phase-dependent — 2025–2027
Payment Plan: 50/50 — 50% during construction, 50% on handover
Investment Potential: City Walk Residences consistently deliver gross rental yields of 6–7% — among the strongest yield performances of any Jumeirah address — driven by the extraordinary retail and lifestyle vitality of City Walk, the neighborhood's exceptional walkability and urban convenience, and the strong and growing demand from Dubai's large professional and expatriate population for genuinely urban and lifestyle-complete residential addresses in well-connected Jumeirah locations. Studios generate annual rents of AED 75,000–95,000. 1-bedroom apartments generate AED 110,000–145,000. 2-bedroom apartments generate AED 165,000–210,000.

4. Bluewaters Residences — Select Availability
Bluewaters Residences on the extraordinary Bluewaters Island — home to Ain Dubai, the world's largest observation wheel — offer the world's most uniquely positioned and most visually dramatic luxury residential address.

2-bedroom luxury apartments — from AED 3.8 million
3-bedroom luxury apartments — from AED 5.5 million
4-bedroom luxury apartments — from AED 8 million
3-bedroom townhouses — from AED 7 million
4-bedroom townhouses — from AED 9.5 million
Key Features:
Unobstructed views of Ain Dubai — the world's largest and most spectacular observation wheel
Direct access to Bluewaters Island's premium retail, restaurant, and entertainment promenade
Panoramic Arabian Gulf, JBR beachfront, and Dubai Marina skyline views
Private beach access, swimming pools, and world-class fitness facilities
Direct pedestrian bridge connection to JBR and The Beach at JBR
Proximity to Caesars Resort Bluewaters Dubai and Ain Dubai's tourism ecosystem
Island exclusivity — a fixed and finite residential community with no further development capacity
Location: Bluewaters Island — off JBR shoreline, adjacent to Dubai Marina
Investment Potential: Bluewaters Residences deliver gross rental yields of 5–6% alongside the strongest long-term capital appreciation of any Dubai Holding Real Estate residential community — driven by the absolute island scarcity premium, Ain Dubai's extraordinary global tourism draw, and the genuinely unique and irreplaceable residential lifestyle that living on a private island adjacent to the world's largest observation wheel creates. 1-bedroom apartments generate annual rents of AED 130,000–165,000. 2-bedroom apartments generate AED 185,000–240,000. Bluewaters Residences have appreciated 45–65% since original launch pricing — with further appreciation expected as the island community matures, Ain Dubai's global tourism draw deepens, and the absolute scarcity of Bluewaters residential inventory increasingly constrains supply against growing demand.
5. Nikki Beach Residences — Pearl Jumeira
Nikki Beach Residences are Dubai Holding Real Estate's extraordinary resort-branded residential offering — combining the legendary Nikki Beach lifestyle of music, gastronomy, fashion, and art in a spectacularly designed beachfront resort setting with the investment security, residential permanence, and property ownership rights of a Dubai freehold real estate investment.

Resort-managed rental program available for investment owners
Stunning Arabian Gulf and Dubai skyline views
24-hour concierge, housekeeping, and full resort service
Location: Pearl Jumeira, Dubai — private beachfront island community
Handover: 2026–2027
Payment Plan: 60/40 — available on select units
Investment Potential: Nikki Beach Residences deliver one of Dubai's most compelling branded residence investment propositions — combining the world's most famous beach club brand with a genuinely exclusive Pearl Jumeira beachfront address and a resort-managed rental program that generates strong short-term rental income from the resort's large and globally diverse guest and visitor base. Gross rental yields of 5–7% are projected at community maturity — with the Nikki Beach brand premium driving measurable rental rate premiums of 20–30% above non-branded comparable properties within the same Pearl Jumeira community. 1-bedroom resort residences are projected to generate annual rents of AED 160,000–200,000 through the resort rental program. 2-bedroom residences: AED 240,000–300,000 annually.

Handover: 2025–2027 depending on phase
Payment Plan: 70/30 — 70% during construction, 30% on handover
Investment Potential: Villanova is one of Dubai's most consistently in-demand and most investment-sound family villa and townhouse communities — delivering gross rental yields of 5–7% for townhouses and 4–6% for villas alongside annual capital appreciation of 8–12% as the broader Dubailand corridor continues to mature. 3-bedroom townhouses generate annual rents of AED 100,000–130,000. 4-bedroom townhouses generate AED 130,000–165,000. 5-bedroom villas generate AED 175,000–220,000.

4-bedroom villas — from AED 3.2 million

Dubai Holding Real Estate is the unified residential development arm of Dubai Holding — the strategic investment conglomerate directly and wholly owned by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. Formed through the consolidation of Dubai Properties and Meraas under a single real estate development entity, Dubai Holding Real Estate manages one of the most diverse, most prestigious, and most geographically significant residential portfolios in the Middle East — spanning luxury waterfront communities, Mediterranean marina neighborhoods, urban lifestyle residences, nature-inspired villa masterplans, and ultra-premium branded residences across Dubai's most coveted addresses. What makes Dubai Holding Real Estate fundamentally different from every other developer in the UAE is the combination of four qualities that no private developer can replicate: direct government ownership providing the highest possible investment security; an extraordinary lifestyle destination ecosystem — City Walk, Bluewaters Island, La Mer, The Beach at JBR, Bvlgari Resort — that creates a permanent and compounding residential investment premium; a 20,000+ unit delivery track record proving quality and reliability at scale; and a community portfolio spanning every price point from AED 1.1 million City Walk studios to AED 100 million+ Bvlgari Island mansions — making Dubai Holding Real Estate the most comprehensively capable and most investment-defensible developer choice in the UAE market in 2026.
Dubai Holding Real Estate is wholly owned by Dubai Holding — which is itself directly and wholly owned by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. This direct government ownership — at the highest possible level of UAE leadership — provides investors with the ultimate financial backstop, delivery guarantee, and long-term investment protection available in the Dubai real estate market. No privately owned developer in the UAE can offer equivalent ownership-level security — making every Dubai Holding Real Estate investment one of the most government-protected and most structurally secure real estate propositions available to buyers and investors anywhere in the world.
