Solaya beachfront homes in Jumeirah 1 Dubai

In the Jumeirah 1 neighborhood of Dubai, Dubai Holding Investments and Brookfield Properties have unveiled Solaya, a new residential development featuring 234 high-end beachfront homes. This marks the latest collaboration between the two developers, combining their track records in luxury and strategic urban projects.

Dubai Holding Investments serves as the investment arm of Dubai Holding, a multinational conglomerate operating in over 30 countries. This project covers an area of about 40 acres, and the development will include nine towers under the Meraas brand of Dubai Holding Real Estate.

Features & Home Types at Solaya

Solaya offers a diverse mix of residential units, ranging from two- to five-bedroom apartments, duplex homes with outdoor living spaces, 18 garden houses with internal courtyards, and penthouses with private pools and expansive terraces.

The architecture was designed by Foster + Partners, with interior design by 1508 London. Homes feature high ceilings, open floor plans, and sweeping views of both the Dubai skyline and the Arabian Gulf.

Residents will enjoy a variety of premium amenities: a spa, fitness center, private movie theater, food and meeting areas, and an exclusive residents’ lounge.

Vision, Strategy & Statements

According to Omar Karim, CEO of Dubai Holding Investments, Solaya reflects the company’s emphasis on global partnerships designed for lasting impact. Khalid Al Malik, CEO of Dubai Holding Real Estate, noted that Solaya is a response to rising demand for homes that emphasize connection to nature and wellness.

Rob Devereux, CEO of Brookfield Properties, described Solaya as a “rare opportunity” to experience beachfront living in the heart of Dubai, suggesting that this kind of offering is seldom available in such a prime location.

What This Means for Real Estate in Dubai & Beyond

Solaya represents a strategic move in Dubai’s Real Estate landscape, blending luxury living and prime waterfront location. This development could set a benchmark for future coastal projects in the UAE and beyond.
