Omniyat Group has announced the construction of ultra-luxury hospitality brand Dorchester Collection’s first property in the Middle East is well on schedule, with works expected to be completed by end of 2020. The project was first launched by the company at its exquisite gala dinner held under the DIFC gates in March last year.

For this bespoke project, Omniyat and Dorchester Collection are working with some of the biggest names in the architecture and design sector, including Foster and Partners and Gilles & Boissier. The highly anticipated development includes a residential component comprising of 39 exclusive signature apartments expected to be ready for invite-only viewing later this year. In addition to the construction of its first property in the region, Dorchester Collection will also manage One at Palm Jumeirah, Omniyat’s ultra-luxurious residential tower located on Palm Jumeirah and home to the most expensive penthouse in Dubai, sold for AED 102 million.

Mahdi Amjad, CEO and Executive Chairman of Omniyat said, “This partnership with Dorchester Collection has been a monumental milestone for Omniyat. Our curated partnership with world-renowned designers and architects will showcase a signature experience that combines great hospitality with exceptional design in Dubai’s most prestigious address on the banks of Dubai Canal. This project is a testament to our commitment in bringing the best in class to Dubai’s ever-expanding Skyline.”

Christopher Cowdray, CEO of Dorchester Collection said, “We are delighted with the construction progress of our first hotel in the UAE. We look forward to welcoming it to our collection of landmark hotels and bringing Dorchester Collection’s world-famous standards of hospitality, care and attention to detail to guests from across the region and beyond.”
