Introduction
An Exclusive Look into the Future of Downtown Dubai
Imagine waking up, pulling open your curtains, and seeing a pristine island being constructed right in the heart of Downtown Dubai. That’s exactly what’s happening right now near the Marina, and it’s a sight to behold. Omniyat, a name synonymous with ultra-luxurious developments, has been transforming this area for years.
They’ve already brought us iconic projects like Lana and Inara, and now they’re taking things to a whole new level—literally building a beach and an island in the middle of Downtown.
Here’s a video on the same topic by our Co-Founder, Kevin McKenzie.
Omniyat’s Vision for Downtown
For those unfamiliar with Omniyat, their developments are not for the average investor. They specialize in creating ultra-luxurious residential and commercial spaces, catering to an elite clientele. The starting price for their projects reflects this exclusivity, and this latest island project is no exception.
Currently, the minimum price for a unit on this island is set at 20 million AED, and these are no ordinary apartments. The units are massive, starting at 4,000 to 6,000 square feet, making the price tag quite reasonable for what you’re getting. On the commercial side, office spaces are expected to start at around 40 million AED, underscoring the premium nature of this development.
The Beach That Wasn’t There Yesterday
One of the most striking aspects of this project is the beach being constructed as we speak. It’s not just an idea anymore; it’s happening. Today, I watched as trucks and cranes worked tirelessly to pour sand into the water, creating a brand-new coastline for the island. If you’ve seen Palm Jumeirah or other man-made islands in Dubai, you know this city doesn’t shy away from ambitious projects. This beach will be exclusively for residents and visitors to Omniyat’s facilities, adding another layer of luxury to this already jaw-dropping development.

Rapid Progress: A Signature of Dubai
Construction timelines in Dubai operate at a speed that’s hard to believe unless you see it for yourself. A few days ago, this project was in its initial stages. Now, just one week later, the progress is astonishing. The small island that initially emerged has tripled in size. The amount of work completed in such a short time is a testament to the efficiency and ambition of Dubai’s construction teams.
Even the workers on-site predict the beach will be completed within a month. While that might seem overly optimistic, based on what I’ve seen, it’s entirely possible. Personally, I think it might take closer to three months to finish everything, but even that timeline is incredibly fast for a project of this scale.
Why This Project Matters
So, why should you care about this new island? For starters, it’s another example of how Dubai continually pushes the boundaries of urban development. Projects like this are redefining what’s possible in real estate and urban planning. More importantly, they’re creating opportunities for investors to own a piece of something truly extraordinary.
The high price points reflect not just the exclusivity but also the potential for long-term returns. Properties in Downtown Dubai have consistently appreciated in value, and with the added allure of a private beach and ultra-luxurious facilities, this project is poised to become one of the most sought-after addresses in the city.

The Future of Downtown Dubai
In just a few weeks, the skyline of Downtown Dubai will look completely different. This new island will stand as a testament to Dubai’s commitment to innovation and luxury. For investors, this is an opportunity to be part of something groundbreaking.
If you’re considering purchasing property in Dubai, whether it’s off-plan or ready-to-move-in, this project should definitely be on your radar. Omniyat’s reputation for delivering world-class developments means you’re not just buying a home; you’re investing in a lifestyle.
