Omniyat projects in Dubai

Omniyat: background

Omniyat is a Dubai developer of ultra-luxury property. In 2026 it marked twenty years in business. Its website names architecture and design partners including Zaha Hadid, Foster + Partners, Gilles & Boissier, YODEZEEN and Vladimir Djurovic, and the Dorchester Collection as a hotel and residence partner. The company has entered the capital markets with a USD 500 million green sukuk listed on Nasdaq Dubai.

Omniyat projects: residential, commercial and mixed use

• Residential: One at Palm Jumeirah (Dorchester Collection), The Alba Residences and The Alba Resort Residences (Dorchester Collection), Orla and Orla Infinity, AVA at Palm Jumeirah, Vela and Vela Viento, Anwa and Anwa Aria, and The Sterling.
• Mixed use: The Opus by Omniyat, designed by Zaha Hadid, and The Lana.
• Commercial: Lumena by Omniyat, Enara by Omniyat, The Binary and One by Omniyat.

Many sit on Palm Jumeirah or around the Dubai Canal in Business Bay, where Omniyat is building its Marasi Bay destination.

Omniyat branded residences and penthouses: what to ask

Omniyat branded residences and penthouses are bespoke products. Before committing, ask:

• What does the brand or operator agreement cover, for how long, and which services are compulsory?
• How is the service-charge budget built, and what will it be after handover? Request the approved Mollak budget where available.
• What exactly is in the specification schedule, and what can be customised through the developer's atelier service?
• How is the area measured, and how are private terraces and pools treated?

Our guide to understanding service charge budgets explains how to read the numbers.

Omniyat new launch and payment plan

An Omniyat new launch is sold off-plan, usually with a down payment and construction-linked instalments ending at or after completion. Terms are negotiated more often at this price level, so make sure the final schedule is attached to the SPA. The 4% DLD transfer fee applies on top. Confirm project registration and the escrow account on Dubai REST before paying any reservation.

Omniyat review: delivery and who it suits

Omniyat's completed buildings, such as The Opus in Business Bay, are the best guide to its finishing. Visit them, and look up its projects and their status on Dubai REST. At this level, delivery dates for complex towers can move, so read the completion and delay clauses carefully.

Omniyat suits buyers seeking a trophy home or a long-term holding in a prime location. It is not a yield play: running costs are high and the resale market for very large units is thin. Compare with penthouses for sale in Dubai and Emirates Hills vs Palm Jumeirah.
