Read our full verdict

Its finished buildings, such as The Opus, One at Palm Jumeirah and The Lana, are well known and use architects such as Zaha Hadid Architects and Foster + Partners. The company reported record 2025 revenue of AED 4.1 billion and says every launched project is fully funded. The delivery record is mixed. Older towers finished years late, The Lana Residences was handed over about three months after its Q4 2023 target, and AVA at Palm Jumeirah had passed its June 2026 registered date at 95.93% complete in August 2026. Handover payments of 40 to 50% are common, and Fitch placed its BB- rating on negative watch in March 2026.

What Omniyat does well

  • Completed buildings such as The Opus, One at Palm Jumeirah and The Lana can be visited, so buyers can judge build quality in person.
  • Projects are small, for example 17 homes at AVA and 38 at Vela, which limits the number of competing units at resale.
  • Omniyat Holdings reported revenue of AED 4.1 billion, net profit of AED 1.2 billion and cash of AED 4.7 billion for 2025 in audited results published in February 2026.

Resale data is thin because Omniyat buildings have few units and trade rarely. Registered sales at One at Palm Jumeirah between January and April 2026 ranged from AED 6,941 to AED 10,993 per sq ft, well above the Palm Jumeirah apartment average of AED 3,441 in Q1 2026. At The Opus, a one-bedroom apartment sold in July 2026 at about AED 3,330 per sq ft, while asking prices were AED 4,590 to 5,548. Building-level price change and yield figures are not published. With so few sales, one unusual deal can move the averages, so treat every figure as a guide only.

FAQs

Questions about Omniyat

Is Omniyat a reliable developer?

Omniyat builds a small number of very expensive homes and offices, mostly on Palm Jumeirah and at Marasi Bay in Business Bay. We rate its delivery record as "Mixed": The Lana about 3 months late (2024); The Opus and One at Palm Jumeirah years late.

Who owns Omniyat?

Omniyat is a private company founded in Dubai in 2005 by Mahdi Amjad, who is its executive chairman. It is not listed on a stock exchange, but it has issued sukuk listed on Nasdaq Dubai and in London.

How is Omniyat related to Beyond Developments?

Beyond is the sister brand launched by Omniyat Group in 2024, aimed at a lower price point than Omniyat. It has its own page on this site.

Does Omniyat deliver on time?

The record is mixed. The Lana Residences was handed over about three months after its Q4 2023 target, while The Opus and One at Palm Jumeirah finished years after their first dates.

Has AVA at Palm Jumeirah been handed over?

We found no handover announcement as of October 2026. Land Department data showed it 95.93% complete at an inspection on 26 August 2026, after a registered completion date of June 2026.

What do Omniyat homes cost?

Portal listings in October 2026 show homes from about AED 29 million at Vela Viento and AED 43 to 44 million at Ela and The Alba Residences. Anwa Aria in Dubai Maritime City is the exception, with studios from about AED 827,000 on resale.

What payment plans does Omniyat offer?

Listings show 5/55/40 at The Alba Residences and Vela Viento, 5/45/50 at Orla and Lumena, and 25/35/40 at Ela. The largest single payment is usually due at handover.

Is Omniyat financially sound?

Omniyat Holdings reported 2025 revenue of AED 4.1 billion, net profit of AED 1.2 billion and cash of AED 4.7 billion. Fitch rates it BB- and placed the rating on negative watch in March 2026, and the company has USD 1.5 billion of sukuk due between 2028 and 2031.

What is Dorchester Collection's role?

Dorchester Collection is a hotel operator that runs services and amenities at several Omniyat buildings, including One at Palm Jumeirah, The Lana, Orla, Vela and The Alba. It is not the developer.

Does Omniyat sell offices?

Yes. Lumena, Lumena Alta and Enara are office towers in Business Bay and Marasi Bay with handover dates between 2028 and 2030. The company reported AED 7.1 billion of sales across the two Lumena towers in 2025.

Where does Omniyat build?

Most projects are on Palm Jumeirah and at Marasi Bay in Business Bay, with Anwa and Anwa Aria in Dubai Maritime City. The group has also announced a masterplan on Marjan Beach in Ras Al Khaimah.
