Hayaat Developments’ strategy is centred on execution, vertical integration and design-led luxury, underpinned by a growing development pipeline. At the forefront of Hayaat Developments’ growing portfolio is celebrity architect Tony Ashai, whose distinctive design language has become closely intertwined with Hayaat Developments’ evolving identity.
Hayaat’s current development pipeline stands at approx. $163.3 million (AED600 million). The collaboration has already taken shape through two residential projects: a bespoke boutique tower on Dubai Islands, representing an investment of $57.1 million (AED210 million), and a 40,000-square-foot ultra-luxury mansion nestled within Al Barari. The mansion is currently off-market and available exclusively through private referral.
Isolana Residences progressed from foundation works into full-scale construction. Piling was completed in April 2026, with the project now approx. 10% complete and handover targeted for Q1 2027. The boutique waterfront tower comprises approx. 100,000 sq ft of gross floor area and around 73 residences.
Across its historical and pipeline portfolio, the group cites approx. $544.6 million (AED2 billio) in GDV. The company has also awarded $68.1 million (AED250 million) in contracts over the past 12 months, while strengthening partnerships with Pallavi Dean from ROAR. Its vertically integrated construction model, through in-house Projenco Construction, brings construction management and delivery oversight under one structure, supporting tighter control over quality, timelines and costs.
Sustainability is another pillar of Hayaat’s approach. Villa Oasi features advanced VRF systems that can cut HVAC energy consumption by up to 40%, alongside solar-assisted hot water and smart irrigation. Its Green Student Village in the UK achieved a BREEAM rating of 95.05%.
With around 80% of Isolana Residences buyers from international markets, Hayaat’s UAE portfolio reflects its global outlook and Dubai’s continued appeal to cross-border investors.
