Who they are
The Imtiaz name traces back to 1993, when it began in Dubai as a construction, engineering and project-management business. Imtiaz Developments, the dedicated real-estate development arm most buyers mean when they say “Imtiaz” today, was established separately in 2014, per independent reporting — the same two-step pattern seen at several other Dubai developers, where an older group name and a newer, purpose-built development company share a founder but not a founding date. Imtiaz Developments is led by CEO Masih Ullah Imtiaz, who has run the company for over a decade. It reports 40+ active projects, over AED 10 billion in cumulative sales, and is ranked among Dubai's top 10 developers by sales volume and top 4 by number of project launches. Over 2,000 residential units have been completed since the company's inception, and it positions itself as a design-led developer of fully furnished, smart-home residences. Its single biggest push is Dubai Islands, where it describes itself as the largest private developer, with 15 projects underway there plus a 16th, Sea Cliff — and where it delivered Beach Walk by Imtiaz, reportedly the first completed residential project on Dubai Islands, in March 2026.
The rest of the portfolio: JVC, Dubailand and beyond
Outside Dubai Islands, Imtiaz's portfolio also includes Westwood and Westwood Grande (Al Furjan and Jumeirah Village Circle), Pearl House and Pearl House II (JVC), Cove Edition (Dubailand), and RAW District, a mixed-use development with homes, offices and retail on Sheikh Zayed Road — alongside Kore, covered in its own section above. Westwood Grande reportedly achieved an early handover ahead of its original date — consistent with the company's own on-time-delivery claims, though we haven't independently verified every handover date ourselves.
What we've verified directly, versus what's public reporting
As with every developer profile on this site, Imtiaz's company history and the project-level details above are drawn from independent reporting — Gulf Business, Gulf News, Property Weekly, industry speaker-bio and award coverage, and, for Kore specifically, Imtiaz's own social-media marketing (which is also where the tower photo above comes from), a marketing flyer, and two independent listing portals (Binayah, PropertyFinder) — not fabricated or assumed. Where those sources disagree with each other on a figure (Kore's unit sizes, 2-bedroom price, payment plan and handover date), we've flagged it rather than silently picking one — the payment-plan structure in particular has three genuinely different versions across our sources. We haven't been sent current pricing, floor plans or brochures directly from Imtiaz or a channel partner for any project on this page, so none of the figures above should be read as a live, bookable price. We also couldn't independently confirm Imtiaz Developments' own website domain from a source we could verify, so we haven't linked to one here — ask us and we'll confirm Imtiaz's current contact details directly.
