Completed Dubai buildings include The Torch, No. 9, Botanica, The Point, Yacht Bay, Studio One, Bay Central, Marina Tower, West Avenue Tower, The Residences at Marina Gate, Jumeirah Living Business Bay, 15 Northside, Residence 110 and The Hive in Studio City. Under construction are Six Senses Residences Dubai Marina, The Edge in Business Bay, and Nautica One and Two in Dubai Maritime City.
The output is premium residential, with commercial, hospitality and retail alongside it. Homes run from studios at Residence 110 through one and two-bedroom apartments at Nautica and the Artistry towers, up to four-bedroom penthouses, duplex sky mansions and five-bedroom triplex sky mansions at Six Senses Residences Dubai Marina.
The company also builds branded residences, working with Six Senses on both Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina and with Jumeirah at Marina Gate and Business Bay. On the hospitality side it opened the first Six Senses hotel in the UAE with ESIC, bought the Radisson Blu in Dubai Media City for USD 54.5 million in 2025, and partnered with Fairmont on Cheshire The Mere in the United Kingdom.
Yes, the company builds communities rather than standalone towers alone. Peninsula in Business Bay is its master waterfront community, made up of Peninsula One through Five plus The Plaza, The Offices, Jumeirah Living Business Bay and its own community mall. Sales across Peninsula completed in May 2025 at a reported USD 1.9 billion.
The other three registered communities are Mushrif Village, Six Senses The Palm Resort on the West Crescent of Palm Jumeirah, and the Peninsula Two Community Mall. Six Senses Residences The Palm was completed in July 2026, with homeowner handovers under way.
Plans vary by project rather than following one house structure. Six Senses Residences Dubai Marina and Nautica Two run 20/20/60, with 60% falling at handover. Artistry One uses 20/30/50 and Artistry Two a straight 50/50. Six Senses Residences The Palm used 5/35/60, opening at 5% down.
Residence 110 in Business Bay carried a 10/90 plan, the lightest entry of the group at 10% on booking. On service charges, Six Senses Residences Dubai Marina is estimated at AED 34 to AED 38 per square foot.

Both developers are building branded residences in Dubai Marina for handover in 2029, each with an international hotel operator attached. Select Group brings a portfolio of 30 Dubai projects and a delivery history running back to 2002, at a higher entry price. ABA Group is working on a single Dubai building at a lower entry point, with 35% of the price payable after handover against 60% due at completion on the Select Group plan.
The delivery record is the strongest argument. More than 10,000 homes have been handed over since 2002, and the company has taken on work that another developer left unfinished. Buying the stalled Pentominium site and restarting it as Six Senses Residences Dubai Marina is the clearest example of that.
The commercial record supports it. Peninsula sold out in full, Six Senses Residences The Palm completed and moved to handover, and Artistry Two came to market on the back of demand for Artistry One. Dubai Marina, where much of the portfolio sits, has recorded average sale price growth of 13.7% year on year across 2,554 transactions in the past twelve months.
Price is the main constraint for a buyer. Entry at the current launches starts at AED 2,300,000 in Dubai Design District and AED 5,760,000 in Dubai Marina, which puts this developer well above the mid-market. Several of the ready projects are also sold out, so the cheaper stock is only available on resale.
- Buyers who want a proven developer, with over 10,000 homes delivered since 2002 and fourteen completed Dubai buildings.
- Buyers of branded residences, through the Six Senses and Jumeirah partnerships on Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina and Business Bay.
- Buyers who want waterfront addresses, since the portfolio concentrates on Dubai Marina, Business Bay, Palm Jumeirah and Maritime City.
- Buyers who want handover-weighted terms, with 60% due at completion on the 20/20/60 plans.
- Buyers looking for a lower entry into the group, starting at AED 2,300,000 at Artistry One Residences in Dubai Design District.
- Buyers under AED 2 million, as current launches start above that figure.
- Buyers who want villas or townhouses, since the Dubai portfolio is apartments and mixed-use towers.
- Buyers who need to move in immediately, with the Dubai Marina and Design District projects running to 2029.
- Buyers who want suburban or family-community living, as the land sits in dense waterfront and city-centre districts.
- Buyers who cannot fund a large handover payment, which reaches 60% on several plans.
