Island D, Dubai Islands

Island D is the island of Nakheel's five-island Dubai Islands that OMNIYAT Group acquired in 2025 and holds through its residential brand BEYOND Developments. It sits off the Deira coast within 10 km of Dubai International Airport and 15 km of Downtown Dubai, with freehold tenure like the rest of Dubai Islands.

OMNIYAT Group, founded in Dubai in 2005 by Mahdi Amjad and known for The Opus, The Lana and the Dorchester Collection residences on Palm Jumeirah, owns the island and develops through BEYOND Developments, its residential brand launched in 2024 under CEO Adil Taqi. Nakheel, part of Dubai Holding, remains the master developer of Dubai Islands as a whole.

The group's first Dubai Islands release is on Island B, where BEYOND unveiled the SIORA masterplan on 11 December 2025 and launched the HADO towers, 678 residences with handover in Q3 2029, on 30 December 2025. Island B is the reference for how the group builds on Dubai Islands.

My expectation as an advisor, drawn from the owner's record, is an ultra-luxury hotel with branded residences in the OMNIYAT line and luxury beachfront residences in the BEYOND line. OMNIYAT's hospitality partner elsewhere is Dorchester Collection, which operates The Lana in Dubai and will operate The Alba on Palm Jumeirah, an AED 7 billion or approximately USD 1.91 billion hotel and residences project opening in 2028.

Dubai Land Department records show about AED 18.8 billion, approximately USD 5.12 billion, of residential sales across 5,035 transactions on Dubai Islands in the twelve months to 28 September 2026, with a median price of AED 2,840 or approximately USD 773 per square foot in the first seven months of 2026. BEYOND's HADO on Island B opened from AED 2.2 million, approximately USD 599,047, for a one bedroom. Island D pricing is available on request.

Access is across the Infinity Bridge from Deira. Nakheel's timings put Dubai International Airport at 20 minutes, Downtown Dubai at 24 minutes, Business Bay at 33 minutes and Gold Souq Metro on the Green Line at 10 minutes. A 1,425 metre bridge from Bur Dubai, contracted at AED 786 million or approximately USD 214 million in April 2025, is under construction, and dedicated bridges between the islands are planned.

Dubai Islands is sold as freehold to all nationalities, and Island D follows the same tenure. A property with a Dubai Land Department registered value of AED 2,000,000 or more, approximately USD 544,588, qualifies the owner for the 10 year UAE Golden Visa; OMNIYAT and BEYOND entry prices elsewhere sit above that threshold.

OMNIYAT Group reported AED 20 billion, approximately USD 5.45 billion, of sales in 2025, total assets of AED 21.3 billion or approximately USD 5.80 billion, and a launched portfolio with a gross development value of USD 11.7 billion, approximately AED 43.0 billion, described as fully funded with 2.3 times sales-to-cost cover and more than AED 5.3 billion, approximately USD 1.44 billion, of liquidity at the end of 2025.

The expectations on this page are an advisor's reading of the owner's record, not developer statements. Service charge rates for Dubai Islands are not yet filed with Mollak, the Bur Dubai bridge opening date is unconfirmed, and schools and clinics are currently off the islands in Deira.

Off-plan units in Dubai are reserved and purchased remotely, with signing handled electronically or through a power of attorney. Accepted payment roads are bank transfer, manager's cheque, cash and crypto, and every payment is made into the project's DLD-registered escrow account, never to an individual. The 4 percent Dubai Land Department transfer fee applies on top of the price.
