Waldorf Astoria Residences Dubai Islands will comprise 120 branded residences, delivering an exclusive collection of premium furnished apartments. Owners will benefit from personalized services and amenities that ensure comfort, convenience and privacy, in addition to full access to the hotel’s facilities.
The signing marks a significant scaling of AVENEW’s exclusive portfolio, representing its second branded residence on Dubai Islands and its sixth overall development within the master-planned waterfront community. The move strategically capitalises on Dubai’s established global leadership in the luxury hospitality and branded residential sector.
The branded residence segment has grown from a niche market into a leading global asset class. By introducing Waldorf Astoria Residences to Dubai Islands, AVENEW Development combines its forward-looking vision with the appeal of one of the region’s most highly anticipated coastal destinations. This strategic alignment delivers a distinctive residential offering, creating communities that inspire progress, enhance lifestyles, and endure for generations.
