Jacob and Co Beachfront Living

Jacob & Co Beachfront Living is a residential development by Ohana Developments situated in Ghadeer Al Tayr, on the coastal stretch between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Comprising 160 residences across three buildings, the project is branded in collaboration with the Swiss-born jewellery and watchmaking house Jacob & Co., and carries an expected completion of Q2 2028.

# Three buildings on a coastal border

Ghadeer Al Tayr sits within the Al Jurf corridor, a low-density coastal zone positioned along the Emirates coast where Abu Dhabi's territorial boundary meets Dubai. The area is characterised by relatively modest built density, natural reserves, and a shoreline that has so far attracted a limited number of residential schemes. Jurf Beach lies 240 metres from the development.

The three-building format keeps the project at a restrained scale, 160 units in total, which is notable in a market where beachfront towers frequently exceed that count within a single structure. Architecture draws on the Jacob & Co. design partnership, though specific façade materials and structural heights are not disclosed in available documentation.

# Residences from studios to six-bedroom homes

The range is broad. Studios start from approximately 549 sq ft and are priced from AED 1.72 million. One-bedroom apartments run from just over 1,000 sq ft to around 1,840 sq ft, with pricing from AED 3.04 million. Two-bedroom layouts occupy 1,420 sq ft to roughly 2,280 sq ft, and three-bedroom residences extend up to approximately 3,068 sq ft, with some units in that category priced above AED 14 million.

The upper end of the collection moves into significant territory. Four-bedroom residences reach 8,352 sq ft, priced from AED 8.35 million to AED 24.95 million depending on configuration. Five-bedroom units span 3,519 sq ft to 5,166 sq ft, priced from AED 10.95 million. At the apex sit six-bedroom residences, the largest recorded at 23,196 sq ft, with asking prices up to AED 82.5 million.

All units are delivered unfurnished. Service charges are set at AED 7.5 per sq ft.

# What the amenity programme covers

The Jacob & Co. brand shapes several of the communal facilities directly. A dedicated Jacob & Co. Residents Club and a Jacob & Co. Beach Club anchor the social programme. Beyond those, the building includes a seafront cigar lounge, a gourmet restaurant, a specialty bar, and an artisan bakery and café.

Wellness provision covers a spa and wellness area, a fitness centre with specialist studios, and a botanical garden courtyard. A business centre with meeting suites, luxury retail spaces, a family lounge, a kids' club, and salon and lounge spaces complete the ground-level offering.

# Position relative to the coast and key infrastructure

The proximity to Jurf Beach at 240 metres is the most immediate locational asset. Al Jurf Gardens Phase 2 (Kayan) sits less than a kilometre away, suggesting an emerging residential cluster in the area rather than an isolated plot.

Al Maktoum International Airport is approximately 52 kilometres distant, which places the development further from central Dubai than most buyers accustomed to DIFC or Downtown benchmarks will expect. That distance is partly the point: the corridor trades urban proximity for coastal quiet and lower density. Alsamha School is 20.4 kilometres away, a consideration for families assessing daily routines.

# Who this project is positioned for

The pricing architecture tells a clear story. The lower end, studios from AED 1.72 million and one-bedrooms from just over AED 3 million, is accessible relative to comparable branded residences in central Dubai. The upper end, with four-bedroom configurations exceeding AED 24 million and six-bedroom homes approaching AED 82.5 million, targets buyers seeking scale and privacy that the city's central districts cannot provide at any price.

The Jacob & Co. co-branding will resonate most with buyers already familiar with the watchmaker's positioning in the very-high-net-worth segment: buyers from Geneva, Hong Kong, Riyadh and London who regard brand provenance as a proxy for quality and resale legibility. For that buyer, the distance from Dubai's commercial core is not a deterrent. The coastal setting, the low building count, and the six-bedroom scale are, collectively, the product.
