Private Dubai developer behind Marina Gate, Peninsula and the region's first Six Senses residences

Select Group is a private developer with a long Dubai record.

Best for: Branded residence buyers · End users in central Dubai · Buyers with funds ready at handover

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.
