Imtiaz Developments: Dubai Islands' largest private developer

Tracing back to a 1993 construction business and relaunched as a dedicated developer in 2014, Imtiaz Developments has become the largest private developer on Dubai Islands — 15 projects there and counting — and the team behind The Symphony, designed with Zaha Hadid Architects, in Meydan.

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.

Featured project: The Symphony

The Symphony is Imtiaz's project in Meydan, designed in collaboration with Zaha Hadid Architects — a notable departure from the company's more typical mid-rise residential towers, and one of the more architecturally distinctive names in its current portfolio. We haven't been sent pricing, floor plans or a brochure directly from Imtiaz or a channel partner for this project, so we can't give sourced pricing, unit mix or a handover date here — ask us and we'll check current details with Imtiaz directly.

Featured project: Dubai Islands: Sunset Bay, Wynwood & Beach Walk

Dubai Islands is where Imtiaz has concentrated most of its recent growth. Sunset Bay Collection, a five-project, roughly Dhs700 million waterfront cluster, broke ground in April 2025 with Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan as brand ambassador. Wynwood by Imtiaz is positioned as the tallest residential tower planned for Dubai Islands, and Côtier House is described as a boutique, marina-front project in the same district. Beach Walk by Imtiaz, delivered in March 2026, is reported as the first completed residential project on Dubai Islands — a genuine delivery milestone rather than just a launch announcement.

Featured project: Kore by Imtiaz

Kore by Imtiaz, tower exterior render — from Imtiaz's own social-media marketing

Kore is a 17-storey, fully furnished apartment tower in Dubailand Residence Complex (DLRC), off Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road — marketed on proximity to GEMS schools and views over DLRC's villa communities. Imtiaz's own social-media marketing confirms expressions of interest (EOIs) are open, with EOI deposits of AED 50,000 for a studio, AED 80,000 for a 1-bedroom, and AED 100,000 for a 2-bedroom. Studio, 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments start from AED 679,000 for a roughly 406–409 sq ft studio; a 1-bedroom starts from AED 1.1 million (669 sq ft per Imtiaz's own marketing, or up to ~689 sq ft on one listing portal), and a 1,406 sq ft 2-bedroom starts from AED 1.55 million, with one listing portal showing a slightly higher AED 1.6 million. Payment-plan terms are where our sources genuinely disagree: Imtiaz's own marketing describes a 50/50 plan and a separate 60/40 structure paid over 3 years post-handover, while the listing portals we'd previously checked describe two different instalment schedules entirely (20% down with 30% during construction across 6 instalments and 50% on handover, or 20% down with 35% during construction across 5 instalments, 5% on handover and 40% post-handover) — we're showing all of them rather than guessing which is current, so confirm the live plan before quoting one to a client. Handover is now reported as Q4 2028 by both Imtiaz's own marketing and a listing portal, though a second portal still lists it as “to be announced,” so treat the date as likely rather than guaranteed. Imtiaz's own marketing lists Kore's amenities in detail, in three groups: fitness (a RAW Theory fitness centre with Technogym intelligent equipment and 50 performance-curated gym machines, an outdoor gym, functional training facilities, a social padel court, and a staircase fitness feature called “The Hike”), pools (a 41-metre adults' leisure pool, a wellness pool, a rooftop kids' pool, a sunset deck, an outdoor shower area, and a shallow water feature), and nature (an interactive sensory garden, an edible garden, a climate-comfort garden, and garden co-working pods) — plus red light therapy and a sauna rounding out the wellness offering. This level of detail matches and sharpens what we'd already gathered from listing portals, rather than contradicting it.

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.

Common questions

Imtiaz Developments — FAQ

By scale, yes, with the usual caveats that apply to any developer. Imtiaz reports 40+ active projects, over AED 10 billion in cumulative sales, and over 2,000 residential units completed, and is ranked among Dubai's top 10 developers by sales volume. As with any developer, check a specific project's registration, escrow status and construction progress individually rather than relying on the company's overall track record alone.

Being the largest private developer on Dubai Islands, where it has 15 projects underway plus a 16th (Sea Cliff), and for fully furnished, design-led, smart-home residences more broadly. Its best-known individual project is probably The Symphony in Meydan, designed in collaboration with Zaha Hadid Architects.

The Imtiaz name traces back to 1993, when it began as a construction, engineering and project-management business in Dubai. Imtiaz Developments, the dedicated real-estate development arm most buyers mean today, was established later — in 2014, per independent reporting — under CEO Masih Ullah Imtiaz, who has led it for over a decade.

Kore is a 17-storey fully furnished apartment tower in Dubailand Residence Complex (DLRC), with studios from AED 679,000. It's currently at expression-of-interest stage, with EOI deposits reported at AED 50,000 for a studio, AED 80,000 for a 1-bedroom, and AED 100,000 for a 2-bedroom, and a handover now reported as Q4 2028 by two sources — though pricing, sizes and especially the payment plan still vary between the sources we've checked, so none of them should be treated as final. Ask us and we'll confirm the current terms directly with Imtiaz.
