Do Hotels and Residences

Do Hotels and Residences is a furnished serviced apartment building on Dubai Islands, developed by One Development and scheduled for completion in Q4 2027. The single tower carries 20 residences across one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations, priced from AED 2.19 million.

# The tower and its position on Dubai Islands

Dubai Islands sits off the Deira coastline, a cluster of five reclaimed islands that has attracted significant developer attention over the past two years. The infrastructure connecting the islands to the mainland is established, placing the area within reach of Dubai International Airport at roughly 8.7 kilometres. One Development's building occupies this emerging district at an early stage, before the wider masterplan reaches full density.

Construction has broken ground, with readiness currently at the foundation phase and handover targeted for the fourth quarter of 2027. For buyers accustomed to more mature addresses, the trade-off is clear: the surroundings are still forming, but entry pricing reflects that reality.

# Residences, layouts and finish

The 20 apartments divide across three bedroom categories. One-bedroom units range from approximately 839 sq ft to 1,091 sq ft, priced between AED 2.19 million and AED 3.26 million. Two-bedroom residences run from 1,266 sq ft to 1,653 sq ft, with asking prices spanning AED 3.55 million to AED 5.41 million. Three-bedroom apartments occupy the largest footprints in the building, from 2,062 sq ft to 2,577 sq ft, and are listed between AED 6.12 million and AED 7.9 million.

All units are delivered furnished. The developer specifies equipped kitchens and a smart home system as standard across the building.

The project carries a service charge of AED 20 to 22 per sq ft annually, reflecting the full hospitality-style management the building operates under, including concierge, housekeeping and food and beverage delivery.

# Amenities and the hotel-residence format

The building's amenity programme draws on its hotel-and-residences structure. Residents share access to a spa, jacuzzi, swimming pool, kids' pool, fitness club and sports courts. An all-day dining restaurant operates within the building.

Two recording studios feature in the amenity list. Their presence points to the project's broader positioning around creative and cultural identity, a direction One Development has pursued through the design concept.

# Connections to the wider city

Dubai Islands Beach lies 2.7 kilometres from the building. Hamriya Park sits 5.4 kilometres away, and Reef Mall is reachable at 6.9 kilometres. Downtown Dubai is approximately 19.6 kilometres by road.

The proximity to Dubai International Airport, under nine kilometres, carries practical weight for buyers who use the residence intermittently or intend to place it within a managed rental programme. Frequent travellers in and out of Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 will find the location more convenient than Palm Jumeirah or Dubai Marina.

# Who this project suits and where it sits in the current market

Dubai Islands is not yet a proven address in the way that Business Bay or Jumeirah Beach Residence are. That is the honest framing. Buyers here are making a bet on the long-term build-out of the district, backed by established infrastructure and proximity to the airport corridor.

The format, a small building of 20 fully furnished and serviced residences, suits buyers who want a managed asset rather than an owner-occupied home. The one-bedroom entry price of AED 2.19 million gives access to a hotel-branded product in an emerging coastal location at a figure that sits below comparable branded inventory in more central districts. Three-bedroom buyers spending upwards of AED 6 million are acquiring larger floor plates than the city's mid-market towers typically offer at that price point.

For internationally based buyers seeking a low-maintenance Dubai foothold with rental optionality, the combination of full furnishing, hospitality services and airport proximity makes the proposition reasonably direct.
