Emirates Developments, one of the UAE’s leading real estate developers specialising in distinctive branded residences, has entered into a landmark agreement with Jumeirah, the global luxury hospitality group and a member of Dubai Holding, to deliver Jumeirah Residences Al Maryah Island in Abu Dhabi.
The collaboration introduces a new benchmark for luxury living in the capital, combining vibrant urban energy with refined, experience-led residential design. By bringing Jumeirah’s internationally recognised standards of hospitality, service and architectural excellence to Al Maryah Island, the development is set to further elevate one of Abu Dhabi’s most prestigious waterfront destinations.
“This partnership with Jumeirah marks a defining milestone for Emirates Developments as an iconic residential address that sets new benchmarks in architectural excellence and premium urban living,” said Tareq Siam, Managing Director at Emirates Developments. “Positioned to elevate the residential landscape of Al Maryah Island, the project further reinforces Abu Dhabi’s standing as a global destination for luxury real estate. Al Maryah Island’s unrivaled location, combined with Jumeirah’s globally renowned brand, aligns seamlessly with our vision to deliver exceptional, future-forward branded residences and a truly elevated standard of luxury living.”
The announcement builds on a strong year for Emirates Developments, which in 2025 unveiled several high-profile real estate projects across the UAE. These include a Hilton-branded residential tower in Dubai’s Jumeirah Lakes Towers, redefining refined urban living, and Stellar by Elie Saab on Yas Island, which introduced couture-inspired elegance to Abu Dhabi. Together, these developments underscore the company’s strategy of delivering high-value, design-led branded residences tailored to a sophisticated global clientele.
“Jumeirah Residences Al Maryah Island represents another step forward in our growth journey,” said Thomas B. Meier, Chief Executive Officer of Jumeirah. “As our second property in Abu Dhabi, it underscores Jumeirah’s strengthened focus on expanding our branded residences offering and reinforces our leadership position in the UAE. This development continues the evolution of our residential portfolio, following the launch of Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab last year and the recent announcements of Jumeirah Asora Bay Hotel and Residences and Jumeirah Residences Emirates Towers in Dubai. Each of these properties is designed to elevate and inspire living well every day, reflecting the future of the Jumeirah brand.”
Strategically located on a combined plot in one of Al Maryah Island’s most sought-after areas, the development will comprise 253 residences, ranging from one- to five-bedroom apartments. Designed to offer an exceptional standard of elegance and comfort, the project places residents at the heart of Abu Dhabi’s premier business, lifestyle and luxury retail destination.
Adjacent to The Galleria Mall and overlooking the canal, Jumeirah Residences Al Maryah Island will benefit from direct access to the promenade, with uninterrupted views across the water, Reem Island and the capital’s distinctive skyline, reinforcing its position as a flagship address in Abu Dhabi’s evolving luxury real estate market.
