Sunset Bay Grand by Imtiaz at Dubai Islands

Imtiaz Sunset Bay Grand is a 98-unit mid-rise residence on the Dubai Islands, one of more than 40 active and completed projects Imtiaz Developments currently holds across Dubai. Imtiaz, founded in 1993 and headquartered in Dubai, operates a fully integrated model: design, construction, joinery, aluminum and glass, property management, and after-sales services are all managed in-house. That integration is the reason the company delivered Pearl House I and Pearl House II (Jumeirah Village Circle) ahead of schedule in 2025. Pearl House II was handed over three months early in October 2025. The developer holds DLD registration number 1129 and reports an AED 10 billion pipeline across Dubai Islands, JVC, Dubailand, and Meydan. For an off-plan buyer evaluating construction risk, the delivery record is the credential that matters.

The building rises across ground, two podium levels, ten residential floors, and a rooftop, a compact mid-rise that delivers 98 units in total. Configurations run from 1-bedroom apartments from 840 sq.ft through 2-bedroom apartments to approximately 1,600 sq.ft, and 3-bedroom duplexes reaching up to 2,951  sq.ft. Every residence features an open-plan layout, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a private balcony facing the sea or the island landscape. Interiors are fully furnished at handover. Smart-home integration, premium stone surfaces, and branded fittings are included in the unit price, not extras. For short-term rental investors, a furnished turnkey product on a beachfront island reduces the post-handover preparation timeline from months to days.

Dubai Islands spans five islands with 21 km of Blue Flag-certified beachfront - a coastal infrastructure figure that compares with established European coastal destinations, rather than the emerging-market rhetoric of a speculative land reclamation. Three hotels were already operating on the islands as of mid-2025: Hotel RIU (800 keys), Centara Mirage (607 keys), and Park Regis (159 keys), with the master plan targeting up to 80 hotels at full build-out. In H1 2025, Dubai Islands recorded AED 6.1 billion in property sales across approximately 2,600 transactions - a market confirmation, not a projection. The Al Shindagha Corridor upgrade has improved connectivity to the mainland. Sunset Bay Grand sits within walking distance of the waterfront promenade, the Waterfront Market, and the Al Mamzar Beach Park corridor.

Average off-plan pricing on Dubai Islands reached AED 2,340 per square foot at mid-2025 (up from AED 2,162 in late 2024  a 7% quarterly gain). Sunset Bay Grand's 1BR entry at AED 2.39M on 845 sq ft implies approximately AED 2,309 per square foot at the base tier, an entry that captures the district average before the hotel cluster and metro extension fully arrive. For comparison, Palm Jumeirah trades at AED 3,500–4,500 per square foot; Dubai Harbour at AED 3,200+. Rental yields on Dubai Islands are currently tracking at 7–9% gross, sustained by short-term rental demand from operating hotels and by the island's 21 km of beach, which draws tourism traffic. Units priced at AED 2 million and above qualify the buyer for the UAE 10-year Golden Visa, which extends to spouse and children. The UAE retains a 0% capital gains tax and a 0% income tax on rental returns. Vikas Taneja, BRN 82127: 'Dubai Islands has three operating hotels, an active beachfront promenade, and AED 6.1 billion in H1 2025 sales. That's not a speculative bet anymore, that's a market forming.'

Sunset Bay Grand follows a 60/40 payment structure: 20% on booking, 40% across construction milestones through to Q4 2027, and the final 40% on handover. That structure means buyers pay the majority of the purchase price (60%) during the construction window, with the largest single payment at the point of possession rather than upfront. For investors deploying capital across multiple positions, this structure reduces the cash-flow burden per project. The 20% booking fee confirms the unit, locks the price, and initiates the Sale and Purchase Agreement. Imtiaz's escrow account governs every milestone. Pearl House II's three-month-early handover in October 2025 is the most recent data point on the developer's construction discipline.

Most residential towers launching on the Dubai Islands carry 200 to 500 units. Sunset Bay Grand has 98. That density difference is not incidental  it has a direct impact on short-term rental occupancy rates, communal amenity exclusivity, and long-term resale premiums. In established Dubai short-term rental data, boutique buildings of under 100 units in beachfront or waterfront locations consistently outperform larger towers on average daily rate and occupancy, because rental platforms like Airbnb and booking operators prefer properties where supply is structurally limited. The rooftop infinity pool and wellness deck at Sunset Bay Grand are shared among 98 households, not 400.
