Habtoor Grand Residences

Habtoor Grand Residences is a single residential tower developed by Al Habtoor Group within the Jumeirah Beach Residence district, occupying a position directly above the Al Habtoor Grand Resort Hotel on the JBR waterfront. The project comprises 107 apartments across two-bedroom, three-bedroom and four-bedroom configurations, with handover scheduled for March 2027.

# The tower and its position on the JBR waterfront

JBR remains one of Dubai's most legible addresses: a strip of beachfront development where the Arabian Gulf is visible from most elevations and the density of restaurants, retail and public promenade creates an unusually self-contained urban environment. Habtoor Grand Residences sits at the western end of this strip, embedded within an operating five-star hotel. That relationship is structural, not decorative. Residents access a hotel infrastructure that already functions at scale, rather than one assembled speculatively for a residential launch.

Construction progress stood at approximately 29 per cent at the time of listing, with completion targeted in the first quarter of 2027.

The building itself is a single tower, 107 units in total, which keeps the community relatively contained by JBR standards. Scale matters here: smaller unit counts tend to mean quieter lobbies, more consistent service standards, and a building culture that does not feel transient.

# Residences, layouts and floor areas

Apartments range from around 2,100 sq ft at the entry point to over 4,250 sq ft for the largest standard four-bedroom units, with a handful of significantly larger four-bedroom formats extending beyond 6,800 sq ft and one configuration reaching just under 8,000 sq ft. Two-bedroom apartments cluster between 2,100 and 2,323 sq ft, which positions them well above the Dubai market average for the bedroom count. These are not compact pied-à-terre units.

Three-bedroom residences run from roughly 3,134 to 3,358 sq ft. Four-bedroom apartments begin at 4,115 sq ft and extend through several distinct configurations, suggesting floor-plate variation across the building rather than a single repeated plan.

All residences are delivered semi-furnished. Kitchens are equipped. Pricing opens at AED 10.22 million for a two-bedroom and reaches AED 23.22 million for the upper end of the standard four-bedroom range, with the larger penthouse-scale units listed separately at significantly higher figures.

Service charges are set at AED 16 per sq ft per annum.

# Amenities drawn from the hotel platform

The amenities list reflects the hotel context. A rooftop infinity pool overlooks the water. The building also includes a gymnasium, steam room, sauna, Jacuzzi and a full spa facility. Multiple restaurants and bars operate within the property, as does an outdoor tennis court and a children's play area.

The practical implication is that residents use hotel-grade infrastructure without the staffing and maintenance burden that a purely residential development of this size would struggle to sustain at the same level.

# A JBR address and what it connects to

JBR's geography is straightforward. The beach is direct. The Marina Walk and Dubai Marina itself are within walking distance. Bluewaters Island and its retail and dining offer sit immediately to the west, connected via a pedestrian bridge. The Palm Jumeirah is visible from upper floors and accessible within minutes by road.

Sheikh Zayed Road is a short drive from the district's access points, which places Downtown Dubai, DIFC and Dubai International Airport within reasonable commuting range. Dubai Marina Metro station provides an alternative to road travel.

For buyers arriving regularly by air, Al Maktoum International Airport to the south will, once operational at scale, reduce travel times further from this part of the city.

# Who this building suits and where it sits in the market

Habtoor Grand Residences targets a buyer who values a managed, hotel-integrated lifestyle over the autonomy of a standalone residential building. The floor areas are generous by any comparison, which makes the two- and three-bedroom units attractive to buyers who would consider a four-bedroom elsewhere in Dubai but prefer fewer rooms with more space per room.

The AED 10 million entry point, combined with the JBR address and the Al Habtoor Group's track record as one of Dubai's more established private conglomerates, positions this as a considered mid-to-upper tier purchase rather than a speculative off-plan bet. Buyers from the UK and Europe familiar with branded residences in Alpine or Mediterranean resort markets will find the model recognisable. GCC buyers with existing relationships with the Al Habtoor brand will likely need little introduction to what the group delivers. At 107 units, the building will not define the JBR skyline, but for those inside it, that may prove to be the point.
