Looking to elevate your property portfolio in the UAE? From Abu Dhabi’s cultural showcase to Dubai’s architectural marvels, these luxurious developments offer not just exceptional living but compelling investment potential. Explore these ten distinguished projects already capturing investor attention across the Emirates:
1. Vida Residences, Saadiyat Island (Abu Dhabi)
A boutique waterfront retreat in Saadiyat Marina, offering 121 fully furnished 1- to 3-bedroom apartments with sweeping views of the Arabian Gulf and cultural landmarks like the Louvre and Guggenheim.
With ceilings up to 3.2 m, smart-ready homes, and premium amenities (gyms, infinity pool, dog park, retail, concierge services), this project seamlessly blends hospitality with modern coastal luxury.
Investment merits: Starting at ~AED 2M, projected ROI reaches 8–11% by 2025, and 1-bed yields near 6.5%. Historical off-plan value growth hits 20–25%.
2. Binghatti Flare, Jumeirah Village Triangle (Dubai)
An architecturally bold twin-tower development in family-friendly JVT, offering studios to 4-bed apartments, some with private sky pools, along with podium retail and lush communal spaces.
Starting prices from AED 800K for studios, with expected strong rental demand thanks to its strategic location near Dubai Marina, financial hubs, and major highways.
Investor insight: Capital appreciation is forecasted up to 35% with rental ROI around 7%. Binghatti’s reputation for craftsmanship adds credibility, though buyers should review delivery timelines and service history.
3. One River Point by Ellington (Business Bay, Dubai)
A sleek landmark rising above the Dubai Canal, offering studios through 4-bed duplexes (some with private pools) plus penthouses, all with spectacular Burj Khalifa and waterway views.
Anticipated completion in 2027; buyers enjoy flexible payment plans and potential eligibility for the UAE’s 10-year Golden Visa on purchases above AED 2M.
Investment appeal: Ellington’s design-led reputation, waterfront vantage, and high projected returns (~20% annually) make this a standout for high-net-worth investors.
4. Belgravia Gardens by Ellington (Dubailand, Falcon City)
A newly launched project by Ellington offering studios (~AED 750K), 1-beds (~AED 1.1M), 2-beds (~AED 1.5M), and 3-beds (~AED 2.4M) in a community near IMG World, Global Village, and upcoming metro access.
Buyers praise Ellington’s design quality and believe early units hold long-term value. Investors who secured early bookings have reported strong pricing advantages, with handover expected by Q3 2028.
