Dubai Holding partners with Select Group for Luxury projects

Dubai Holding has entered into a strategic development agreement with Select Group and its joint venture partner, Emirates Strategic Investments Company (ESIC). The collaboration will see the creation of high-end residential and hospitality projects across two of the emirate’s most sought-after destinations, Palm Jebel Ali and Dubai Design District (d3).

Expanding Dubai’s Iconic Waterfront Vision

This partnership represents Dubai Holding’s first land sale transaction on Palm Jebel Ali, highlighting the company’s evolving strategy of engaging premium third-party developers in its master-planned communities. The deal underlines Dubai Holding’s ongoing commitment to enhancing the city’s appeal as a world-leading waterfront hub.

Select Group, known for delivering award-winning projects, will spearhead the design and development of luxury beachfront residences and hotels on Palm Jebel Ali, as well as a new mixed-use development in d3. Both locations align with Dubai’s long-term growth ambitions under the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan and the D33 Economic Agenda.

Leadership Comments on the Strategic Alliance

Khalid Al Malik, CEO of Dubai Holding Real Estate, stated that the agreement supports the leadership’s vision of creating a future-ready Dubai by partnering with renowned industry players. He emphasized that the developments will add value to Dubai’s premium real estate market and further elevate its global standing as a destination for upscale living and tourism.

Rahail Aslam, Chairman of Select Group, expressed pride in collaborating with Dubai Holding, describing the joint projects as a natural extension of Select Group’s track record of delivering high-quality, waterfront-centric developments. He added that the projects align with the company’s commitment to long-term value, architectural distinction, and sustainable design.

Palm Jebel Ali: Redefining Coastal Living

Palm Jebel Ali is poised to become one of Dubai’s most significant residential and lifestyle communities, spanning over 13.4 kilometers and offering more than 90 kilometers of pristine beachfront. It will comprise mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods with expansive sea views and is positioned to serve a new generation of residents seeking coastal luxury.

d3: Creative Living Meets Urban Innovation

In Dubai Design District, the new development will build on the area’s global reputation as a creative hub. Home to leading design, fashion, and art institutions, d3 will now benefit from expanded residential, commercial, and leisure offerings that reinforce its identity as a dynamic, live-work-play community.

Design and planning for both developments are underway, with masterplans and timelines to be announced in the near future. The partnership represents a major milestone in Dubai Holding’s strategic evolution, ensuring its real estate portfolio meets the growing demand for quality urban living in the emirate.
