Read our full verdict

It was founded in 2002 and says it has handed over more than 10,000 homes, mostly towers in Dubai Marina and Business Bay. Build quality and branded partners (Six Senses, Jumeirah Living) are its main draw. The record on timing is mixed. Peninsula One was first due in Q4 2024 and was scheduled for handover in July 2025. Six Senses Residences The Palm was first expected in 2024 and completed in mid 2026. Payment plans are back-loaded, with 50% to 60% due on handover, so buyers need funds or a mortgage ready at completion. Prices sit at the premium end, and the company publishes no audited accounts or credit rating. As of October 2026 it has three Dubai projects on sale.

All 5 points in full
  • It has built in Dubai since 2005 and states more than 10,000 units handed over and 24.7 million sq ft of development (company figures, October 2026).
  • It works with established hotel brands, with Six Senses and Jumeirah Living residences completed in Dubai.
  • It sticks to well-known areas: Dubai Marina, Business Bay, Palm Jumeirah and now Dubai Design District.
  • Its payment plans ask for only 40% to 50% before handover, which limits the money at risk during construction.
  • It publishes estimated service charges on its own project pages, which many developers do not do.

Check before you buy

  • Some projects finished later than first stated: Six Senses Residences The Palm was expected in 2024 and completed in mid 2026.
  • Plans are back-loaded, with 50% to 60% of the price due in one payment at handover.
  • Branded towers carry high running costs, with estimated service charges of AED 34 to 38 per sq ft at Six Senses Residences Dubai Marina.

Resale data exists for Select Group's larger completed communities. One market tracker shows Marina Gate at about AED 3,000 per sq ft in Q2 2026, up from about AED 1,700 in Q3 2020, with an average gross yield of 5.6%. Registered medians at Peninsula in Business Bay sat between about AED 2,400 and 2,850 per sq ft during 2026, above the wider Business Bay resale average of AED 2,053 reported for 2025. Peninsula was only handed over in 2025 and 2026, so rental history there is short. All figures come from portals and brokerage trackers, not directly from Dubai Land Department, and should be checked against recent registered sales.
