Dear Investors,
I hope you are all doing well.
Firstly, thank you to everyone who participated in the launches across Saudi Arabia over the past week. The response has been exceptional, and I genuinely appreciate the trust you continue to place in us. There are still a limited number of opportunities available, so if you have been considering getting in touch, now is the right time.
Today, I want to highlight a very special opportunity in Dubai. As many of you know, I believe the lower and lower-mid apartment segment will come under increasing pressure in 2026 due to supply. This year, there are only a handful of projects I would confidently recommend, and I expect to be able to count them on one hand.
The segment that will continue to outperform is the high-end luxury market. This is where we still see genuine value, sustained appreciation, and strong international demand, combined with a lack of live, high-quality stock to adequately service that demand.
Omniyat remains the undisputed leader in Dubai’s high-end real estate sector, and Marasi Bay has firmly established itself as the UHNW location of choice, alongside Palm Jumeirah.
Our approach has always been simple: identify true value. That is where real returns are made, and where long-term relationships built on trust and knowledge are formed. In this instance, we have genuinely hit the jackpot.
Vela Viento.
The jewel in the Marasi Bay crown, Vela Viento, is managed by the world-renowned Dorchester Collection. During the launch phase, we successfully sold multiple apartments, with two-bedroom units averaging between AED 20–25 million and four-bedroom duplexes achieving AED 60–80 million on capital-forward payment terms. The building itself is exceptional in every sense.
Every residence represents the pinnacle of design and luxury, with interiors by Gilles & Boissier. Originally, the top two floors were planned as a single ultra-exclusive full-floor duplex penthouse, valued at approximately AED 258 million, intended to rival Dubai’s all-time penthouse record.
This week, Omniyat made a strategic decision to restructure that offering to appeal to the wider UHNW market rather than only billionaire buyers. As a result, the top floor has now been divided into two penthouses.
The opportunity I am presenting is the absolute top penthouse within the building.
It is a four-bedroom, five-bathroom residence, priced at just AED 40 million. Crucially, for January only, it is available on a highly attractive 30/70 payment plan rather than the standard 60/40 structure. This means only AED 12 million is payable between now and handover in December 2027.
Based on completed RICS valuations and comparable delivered Dorchester residences, this structure alone delivers a projected return of over 100% on capital deployed.
This unit was not available at launch. Quite simply, it did not exist in its current configuration. Had it been released originally, it would have sold immediately to any investor capable of quickly identifying value through floor plans and massing. An absolute top-floor four-bedroom penthouse at AED 40 million, approximately AED 20 million below mid-floor duplex pricing, is a no-brainer from an investment perspective.
For a fully furnished Dorchester-managed penthouse at the very top of Vela Viento, with a completed valuation in excess of AED 58 million, this represents a truly exceptional opportunity.
In off-plan investments, I typically advise holding through to handover to maximise appreciation. However, this unit is fundamentally undervalued. Approximately six months prior to completion, I would recommend positioning it as a true penthouse resale, at which point Dorchester-branded residences historically gain significant traction with end users.
The 30/70 payment plan provides an additional strategic advantage. Future buyers can acquire the unit by paying the original 30% plus appreciation, with the remaining balance financed. This effectively halves the capital required compared to comparable units on a 60/40 structure, giving this penthouse a decisive edge in the resale market.
Between the floor position, pricing, payment terms, branding, and valuation gap, this is one of the strongest luxury off-plan opportunities I have seen in Dubai in recent years.

Overview of Vela Viento
Vela Viento is an ultra-luxury residential development by Omniyat in Marasi Bay, Business Bay, Dubai. The project is designed by Foster + Partners, with interiors by Gilles & Boissier, and will be managed upon completion by the Dorchester Collection, a globally recognised hospitality brand. It comprises two interconnected towers rising approximately 180 metres with a limited collection of 90–95 exclusive residences, including 2- to 4-bedroom apartments, duplexes, and penthouses. The development is positioned as one of Dubai’s most premium waterfront projects, offering panoramic views of Marasi Bay, Downtown Dubai, and the Burj Khalifa. Vela Viento is scheduled for handover in Q3 2027.
Recent Transaction Levels & Pricing
Because Vela Viento is currently off-plan, there have been no traditional secondary-market transactions with resale data yet. Instead, we rely on launch pricing and early trading figures in Dubai’s off-plan market to understand investor interest and implied valuation trends.
Off-plan prices for Vela Viento start from around AED 18.1 million to AED 20 million for the smaller 2-bedroom units, with larger apartments and penthouses priced significantly higher. Typical 2- to 3-bedroom residences are currently marketed from roughly AED 20 million and up, while 3-bedroom units often trade around the mid-20 million dirham range as pricing matures. At the top end, luxury 4-bedroom duplex units can command prices of AED 60 million to nearly AED 80 million, depending on configuration, reflecting their scale and exclusivity.
There are early analytical estimates that, based on similar luxury launches in Dubai, units purchased today could appreciate by an appreciable amount by the time of handover. One example for a 4-bed apartment suggests a potential rise from around AED 24 million at launch to AED 34–35 million at completion, implying a near 20 percent+ gain over the development period if market conditions remain supportive.
