Read our full verdict

It says it has launched 32 projects and delivered 16 (July 2026). Its recent small and mid-sized buildings were handed over early: Pearlz, Gemz and Opalz all completed ahead of schedule. The bigger test is now under way. Sixteen projects are under construction, including two towers of more than 100 floors, and some high-rises such as Viewz and Fashionz are running behind their original dates. Entry prices are low for each area, but the payment plans leave a large balance due at or after handover. Buyers should check the escrow record and construction progress for the specific project before committing.

Before you buy, check

A large share of the price falls due at or after handover, so buyers need cash or a mortgage ready at that point.
Viewz in JLT had an original registry estimate of June 2026 but was 57% built at 30 September 2026 by the developer's own figure.
Fashionz in JVT was launched with a Q3 2026 handover and later guided to January 2027, yet it was 47% built at 30 September 2026.
