ABA Group is a UAE-based real estate development company founded by Ahmed Butti Almuhairi, with over 20 years of construction and premium property expertise accumulated in the UAE before launching its debut residential developer project in 2024. The company is DLD-licensed with an active RERA registration for its flagship Kempinski Marina Residences project, verifiable through the Dubai REST App. ABA Group's in-house construction capability, built over two decades, provides quality control and delivery reliability that developers relying on external contractors cannot match. The group is headquartered in Dubai with its development activity focused on Dubai Marina.
ABA Group's debut and flagship development is Kempinski Marina Residences in Dubai Marina, a 453-unit premium tower developed in partnership with Kempinski Hotels, founded in 1897 and one of the world's oldest luxury hotel brands. The project delivers one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, sky villas, penthouses, and duplexes ranging from 1,132 to 1,817 square feet. Distinctive design features include vertical gardens, staggered outdoor terraces, and private plunge pools for each residence. Amenities include infinity pools, wellness studios, a private cinema, basketball and paddle courts, co-working spaces, and children's play areas, with handover targeted for Q4 2028.
Kempinski Marina Residences launched in 2024 and immediately attracted premium pricing and strong early investor interest, validating the branded-residence model in Dubai Marina. Dubai Marina's standard gross yields of 5 to 7 percent rise significantly under Kempinski's hotel management framework, which enables short-term rental licensing targeting 9 to 12 percent gross yields. The AED 2.5 million entry price for one-bedroom units reflects the premium positioning appropriate to a Kempinski-managed waterfront address. ABA Group's 20-year construction heritage underpins buyer confidence in the project's delivery capability ahead of its Q4 2028 handover.
ABA Group targets ultra-high-net-worth buyers, GCC and European lifestyle investors, and premium branded-residence investors seeking Kempinski hotel-quality management guaranteed from Day 1 of ownership. The project's short-term rental eligibility under Kempinski management gives investors the flexibility to target 9 to 12 percent gross yields in Dubai Marina's strong serviced apartment market. The 1897-heritage Kempinski brand provides global recognition that immediately elevates both the living experience and the asset's marketability to future buyers. All project registrations and escrow accounts are verifiable through the Dubai REST App.
ABA Group's unique advantage is the combination of 20 years of in-house UAE construction expertise with the unparalleled brand assurance of Kempinski Hotels, creating a branded-residence investment where both the build quality and the operational management are guaranteed by organisations with multi-decade track records. Future ABA Group developments will continue to explore global hospitality brand partnerships, building on the Kempinski platform to expand within Dubai's branded luxury residential segment. The group's construction-first background ensures each future project benefits from the same quality control advantage that defines Kempinski Marina Residences.
