PASSO: Beyond Developments’ Bold Waterfront Vision

A Landmark Move for the Developer

In a decisive step beyond its established footprint, Beyond Developments has announced PASSO — a striking new residential destination on the western arc of Palm Jumeirah. Unlike previous projects tied to Dubai Maritime City, this venture represents the company’s first signature development in a different setting, signalling a clear intention to diversify its portfolio and presence.

Architecture That Blends Art and Living

The masterplan introduces two sculpted high-rise buildings, named Avita and Bella, rising above a vibrant waterfront setting. Together, they will house 625 residences, including one-, two-, and four-bedroom apartments, as well as expansive penthouses with five bedrooms. Six exclusive beachfront mansions will line the shore, offering private access to the sand and sea. Each home is designed with generous layouts, refined materials, and an emphasis on natural light.

Delivery Timeline and Lifestyle Vision

Construction is set to complete in the third quarter of 2029. More than a collection of buildings, PASSO is envisioned as a connected community that balances luxury with livability. Beyond Developments has positioned the project to attract discerning buyers seeking a refined coastal lifestyle, underpinned by an architectural statement that will remain relevant for decades.

Leadership’s Design Philosophy

Adil Taqi, CEO of Beyond Developments, described PASSO as a fusion of three guiding principles: The Address, The Landmark, and The Experience. He highlighted that exceptional design is not merely about reshaping a skyline — it should also evoke emotion, strengthen social bonds, and create lasting memories. The site’s prime position on Palm Jumeirah’s West Crescent was chosen for its prestige, panoramic views, and direct connection to the sea.

Curated Collections and Amenities

PASSO will offer three bespoke residential collections: Wellness, Elite, and Signature. These will be complemented by lifestyle-driven facilities tailored to different needs and ages:

  • A shaded central piazza for community gatherings
  • A 260 sqm wellness pavilion for fitness and relaxation
  • A Montessori-inspired children’s pavilion
  • Cascading swimming pools integrated into landscaped terraces
  • 250 m of private white-sand beachfront
  • Rooftop gardens with panoramic seating areas
  • A 360-degree infinity pool overlooking both the shoreline and Dubai’s skyline

Through its thoughtful design and elevated amenities, PASSO seeks to redefine what it means to live by the water in Dubai — blending contemporary architecture with an enduring sense of place.
