About OMNIYAT

Everything started with a dream, and in 2005 that dream had a name. OMNIYAT was founded with a vision to imagine what others believed impossible and bring it to life through artistry, innovation and excellence.

For twenty years that philosophy has shaped how the city looks and how people experience design and space. Every creation begins with one idea, which is to craft living works of art that inspire connection, emotion and meaning. From buildings by Dame Zaha Hadid and Dorchester Collection to addresses that became part of the cultural fabric of Dubai, the company keeps pushing at what refined living can be.

The founder is Mahdi Amjad, still Executive Chairman. He put design and art first from the beginning, which is why the company ended up in large scale collaborations with award winning designers rather than the usual supply chain. Under his leadership OMNIYAT has held to one thing on every project, which is quality and value in the same building, in locations chosen for the long term.

The business is built around pushing at the limits of architecture. OMNIYAT constructs residential, commercial, hospitality and retail space, and treats the four as parts of one lifestyle rather than separate lines of work.

• Residential. Ultra luxury homes, many managed by Dorchester Collection, on Palm Jumeirah and at Marasi Bay in the Burj Khalifa District.
• Commercial. Ultra luxury office towers, a segment entered with ENARA and then LUMENA.
• Hospitality. The Lana, the first Dorchester Collection hotel in the region, and ME Dubai inside The Opus.
• Mixed use. Buildings holding homes, offices, a hotel and dining under one roof, The Opus being the clearest example.
• Master planning. Whole destinations rather than single towers, at Marasi Bay, Dubai Maritime City and Dubai Islands.
• OMNIYAT Atelier. A bespoke service that delivers architectural work shaped around one owner, imagined by you and crafted for you.

OMNIYAT builds with the biggest names in design

The partner list is the reputation. Zaha Hadid Architects designed The Opus in full, inside and out, which makes it the only building of its kind. Foster + Partners shaped Marasi Bay and The Lana. Gilles and Boissier did the interiors at The Lana. Vladimir Djurovic handled landscape at One at Palm Jumeirah. Dorchester Collection runs the service. YODEZEEN sits on the design roster too. These are not badges on a brochure, they are the people who drew the buildings.

OMNIYAT sells out what it launches

LUMENA went on sale on 18 June 2025 and sold out completely, taking the highest total sales value Business Bay has seen at AED 3.4 billion. ENARA had done the same earlier that year, close to fully acquired within months of launch. Together LUMENA and LUMENA Alta reached AED 7.1 billion in sales.

OMNIYAT holds the top of the market

In the ultra luxury segment, meaning transactions above USD 5 million, the company holds a commanding position. That is where it has chosen to compete and that is where it stays.

Every launched project is fully funded to completion, with existing sales covering development costs. The entire USD 11.7 billion pipeline is funded and progressing on schedule.

The Opus has collected 22 awards and nominations. It was designed in its entirety by Dame Zaha Hadid, from the free form void at its core to the interiors, and it remains the only property where she drew both the inside and the outside.

The company describes its achievements as widely recognised, earned by pushing boundaries and setting benchmarks through its architecture. Each project has drawn recognition and the trust of buyers and investors around the world.

The range is narrow by design and deep on detail. Anyone searching for luxury apartments, penthouses or branded residences in Dubai will find these formats:

• Studios. From 372 to 489 sq. ft. at ANWA ARIA, and 436 to 566 sq. ft. at ANWA.
• Simplex residences. One to four bedrooms. At The Opus, one bedroom homes run 804 to 1,152 sq. ft. and two bedroom homes run 1,399 to 2,549 sq. ft.
• Duplexes. Double height homes of two to four bedrooms reached by private lift lobby, with formal dining, laundry, maid's room and show kitchens carrying Gaggenau and Miele appliances.
• Triplexes. Three bedroom homes of 3,571 to 6,151 sq. ft. at The Opus.
• Townhouses. Three and four bedrooms, up to 5,628 sq. ft. at ANWA ARIA, and seven townhouses at The Sterling.
• Lofts. Two level layouts of up to 1,445 sq. ft. at The Sterling.
• Penthouses. The six bedroom penthouses at One at Palm Jumeirah run 21,295 to 29,994 sq. ft. The Opus Penthouse is a four bedroom home of 12,788 sq. ft. delivered by OMNIYAT Atelier.
• Sky Palace. A three storey residence crowning VELA.
• Offices. ENARA holds 34 offices at Marasi Bay. LUMENA rises 48 storeys with a Sky Theatre, an Executive Wellness Suite with Sky Pool and an Executive Club.
• Hotel and hotel residences. The Lana holds 225 rooms and suites. The Lana Residences holds 39 homes in a 32 storey tower. ME Dubai holds 100 rooms across 250,000 sq. ft. inside The Opus.

Homes come with floor to ceiling glazing, open plan layouts, private terraces and, in several cases, private pools. Finishes lean on travertine stone, natural wood, leather and natural light. At ANWA the ceilings reach 3.2 metres, and 6.3 metres in double height areas.

Buyers looking for branded residences in Dubai will find OMNIYAT attached to Dorchester Collection across much of the portfolio. The Alba, AVA, ORLA, ORLA Infinity, VELA, VELA Viento and The Lana Residences all carry the name.

What the branding buys is service. Owners get concierge and personal valet, doorman and porter, a car valet and care service for a private collection, one off dining events and functions, in residence dining, general housekeeping and turndown on request. It is the freedom of a private home with five star hotel service attached.

Palm Jumeirah is where the company put its flagship residential work. One at Palm Jumeirah, completed in 2021, holds 94 homes including three penthouses, with landscape by Vladimir Djurovic and service by Dorchester Collection. Residents get private beach access, an expansive outdoor pool, an indoor vitality pool, a spa, sauna and a private cinema, with floor to ceiling glass giving 360 degree views of the Gulf and the skyline.

ORLA, ORLA Infinity, AVA and The Alba all sit on the same island. AVA is topped out and due to complete in 2026. ORLA has reached full structural completion and opened its first show residence in May 2026, finished in travertine stone and natural wood, with a private pool on the terrace.

For anyone searching for commercial or office property in Business Bay, OMNIYAT has two generations of it. The Binary, completed in 2015, is a pair of connected towers of 21 and 24 storeys designed by Dubarch, with a facade of steel and glass drawn from binary code. It holds 15 retail units and 1,223 parking spaces. Podium Five inside it runs 70,553 sq. ft. with a 59,527 sq. ft. garden terrace wrapping the office through 270 degrees, which the company calls the largest outdoor office space of its kind in Dubai.

LUMENA and LUMENA Alta are the new generation, rising where Business Bay meets Downtown Dubai along Sheikh Zayed Road. LUMENA reaches 48 storeys and sold out at AED 3.4 billion.

Marasi Bay is an ultra luxury waterfront destination in the Burj Khalifa District, and it is the clearest example of what OMNIYAT means by a destination rather than a tower. It holds VELA with 38 residences, VELA Viento with 95, The Lana hotel with 225 rooms, The Lana Residences with 39 homes, ENARA with 34 offices, and Marasi Bay Island.

The island brings the first beach club in the Burj Khalifa District, floating parks, pavilions and private marina access. Around it sit a marina yacht club with private berthing, Sunset Park, a padel court, an art trail, a signature retail pavilion extending into the water, wellness spaces for yoga and meditation, a kids play area with a climbing wall and splash pad, and a private jetty drop off for residents. Dining runs to Dragonfly by Reif Othman and China Tang, with the Michelin starred Riviera by Jean Imbert and Jara by Martin Berasategui inside The Lana, alongside the first Dior Spa in the Middle East.

The OMNIYAT year in 2025

Group sales across OMNIYAT Holdings and BEYOND Properties reached AED 20 billion, which is USD 5.4 billion. OMNIYAT Holdings recorded AED 15.1 billion of that, made up of AED 9.3 billion for projects under the OMNIYAT brand and AED 5.8 billion for BEYOND branded projects booked inside the holding company. BEYOND Properties recorded a further AED 4.8 billion on its own.

Six new projects launched during the year across Dubai Maritime City, Business Bay and Dubai Islands, carrying a combined gross development value of AED 20.8 billion, the highest in the history of the company. The AED 19.6 billion backlog is expected to convert to revenue over the following four years.

The company entered international debt capital markets for the first time on 28 April 2025, pricing a green sukuk that raised USD 500 million. The three year paper drew USD 1.8 billion in orders from regional and international investors. A second issuance of USD 400 million followed in September 2025, taking the year to USD 900 million. In February 2026 the company priced a five year sukuk of USD 600 million at 7.25 percent.

The sukuk certificates are dual listed on Nasdaq Dubai and on the International Securities Market of the London Stock Exchange. Proceeds run through a Green Financing Framework aligned with the Green Bond Principles of the International Capital Market Association, covering energy efficient buildings, renewable energy integration and sustainable resource management. Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, Citi, Dubai Islamic Bank, Emirates NBD Capital, J.P. Morgan, Mashreq and Standard Chartered Bank ran the debut issue.

The development pipeline sits at USD 11.7 billion, fully funded and on schedule, behind a land bank of 12 million sq. ft. of GFA in prime and waterfront locations. The revenue backlog has reached USD 6.1 billion, more than five times the revenue booked in 2025. Sales so far in 2026 stand at USD 729 million. Every project is operational and on track.
