About Amwaj Development

• Emad Saleh, Founder and Chairman
• Murad Saleh, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer
• Aida F. El Shahabi, Chief Operating Officer
• Hassan Hijazi, Chief Financial Officer

All four were named at the Starlight Park launch in April 2024 and again at the June 2025 milestone ceremonies. Murad Saleh handles most public commentary and has given interviews to Economy Middle East and Gulf News.

The delivery team named at the Starlight Park groundbreaking and the 2025 milestone ceremonies is worth knowing, because it is one of the few ways to check a young developer independently.

• Emsquare Engineering Consultants, engineering consultant
• Sumer Contracting Company, main contractor
• Accurex Project Management, project management
• Morganti GCC, project director representation at groundbreaking
• Green Gardenia Landscaping, sister company handling landscaping
• Zed Capital Real Estate, official sales partner for Starlight Park

Amwaj Development builds freehold residential apartment communities. The unit mix runs from one bedroom apartments up to four bedroom apartments and duplexes at the newest project. Gate Eleven carries the only on-site retail component in the portfolio, which includes a restaurant, pharmacy, cafe, market, nail studio, barber shop and wellness centre.

No project to date is a tower. Starlight Park is four buildings of five floors. Gate Eleven is four buildings of six floors. Kaia on Dubai Islands is two buildings totalling 128 units. Murad Saleh has stated the aim is to rework Dubai’s mid-market segment with better design, top-tier amenities and delivery on time.

Features that repeat across the portfolio:

• Smart home systems
• EV charging and assigned parking
• Rooftop amenity decks with pools, yoga and cinema or jacuzzi zones
• Kids’ play areas, art studios and creative clubs
• Fitness beyond a standard gym, including boxing studios and padel tennis
• Italian ELBA appliance packages fitted as standard at Starlight Park

Four points separate Amwaj from the wave of new Dubai developers that launched between 2023 and 2025.

Construction Has Consistently Run Ahead of Schedule

Starlight Park topped out across all four buildings at 44 percent overall progress in June 2025, ahead of its Q2 2026 target. It reached the 50 percent milestone in July 2025, 15 months after market entry, with the first apartment already fully finished. The developer reported 95 percent completion in early 2026.

Confirmed Sell-Out Record

Starlight Park and The Cube Residences both recorded sell-outs by June 2025. Gate Eleven was 85 percent sold at its March 2026 groundbreaking, and the developer reported 90 percent sold shortly after.

Mid-Market Pricing with Higher Specification

Starlight Park launched from AED 988,000 with Italian appliances, built-in TV consoles and integrated cabinetry as standard. Kaia carries snow rooms, an AI gym and a full spa. That combination is unusual at this entry price in Dubai.

Named Third-Party Recognition

Fastest Growing Real Estate Developer of the Year 2025 from International Business Magazine, and a place among the top GCC real estate developers per Construction Week.

The company has invested over AED 500 million in its first two years and targets AED 1 billion by 2026. Starlight Park and The Cube Residences together carry a combined value above AED 400 million. The stated pipeline is more than 2.5 million square feet of residential space by 2026.

The original 2024 targets were over 1.5 million square feet of planned projects by end of 2024 and over 2 million square feet under construction by 2025. Both were passed.

Three of four projects are in District 11 of Mohammed Bin Rashid City and Meydan, along the Al Ain Road corridor. The fourth is on Island A of Dubai Islands. All four are in designated freehold zones, so foreign nationals and expats can buy with full ownership rights.

Buyers who want mid market entry pricing with specification closer to the luxury tier. Families looking at Meydan District 11 for Downtown proximity and airport access. Off plan investors who want a construction record they can check against dated press reports rather than a first launch with nothing behind it. NRI and overseas buyers who need freehold title.
