Cheval Collection makes branded residences debut with Cheval Residences Dubai Islands | News
Cheval Collection, the award-winning UK-based luxury hospitality company, has moved into the branded residential sector with Cheval Residences Dubai Islands.
The exclusive beachfront property – Cheval’s third in Dubai and fifth in the Middle East – marks a crucial milestone in the company’s regional expansion plan, which includes further growth in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf markets.
The project is a three-way partnership between Cheval Collection, Dubai-based AVENEW Development and Wadeen Developers, with expected completion in 2029.
Mohammed Alawadhi, Managing Director of Cheval Collection, said: “Our expansion into the branded residential sector is a natural progression for Cheval Collection, which has already firmly established itself as a global leader in luxury serviced apartments. Cheval Residences Dubai Islands, our first coastal property in the Middle East, will become the flagship of the islands’ residential offering, setting new standards for high-end living in the UAE and reinforcing our commitment to sustainable growth in the region.
“Cheval Residences Dubai Islands will appeal to end-users and long-term investors seeking stable, experience-based real estate assets in this fast-growing waterfront destination. We are delighted to add this unique property to our ever-expanding portfolio in the Middle East, and are proud to play an ongoing role in the growth and success of the region’s real estate, tourism and hospitality sectors,” he added.
Cheval Residences Dubai Islands will include 99 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and a range of fitness and leisure facilities. The launch comes amid strong demand for serviced living in the UAE – and the wider region – with investors and guests looking for full-service hotel operations with the comfort and privacy of long-term residential living.
The property’s architecture is managed by Cheval Collection to bring internationally recognized standards in service-oriented hospitality, long-stay management and guest experience to the Dubai Islands. The architecture of the property will prioritize spatial harmony, natural light and a strong connection with the surrounding beachside environment.
Cheval Collection already operates the award-winning Cheval Maison – Dubai The Palm and Cheval Maison – Expo City Dubai, which opened in 2023 and 2025 respectively. The company also has two properties under development in Riyadh, KSA: Cheval Ladun Living, which will open in 2027, and Cheval Maison – Sulaymaniyah, which will be completed in 2028.
The new partnership for Cheval Residences Dubai Islands brings together Cheval Collection’s renowned track record in premier hotel apartments, AVENEW’s lifestyle-based development approach and Wadeen Developers’ expertise in delivering high-end residential assets, creating a long-term residential property that combines high-end hospitality standards with the comfort and functionality of private living.
Rasha Hassan, Managing Partner of AVENEW Development, commented: “Global lifestyle patterns are changing and real estate must evolve with it. This project reflects the shared belief between AVENEW and Wadeen that the future lies in lifestyle-driven assets, not just standalone buildings. By working with Cheval Collection, we can deliver a globally recognized standard of service while creating a development with lasting value for residents and investors alike.”
Mohammed Al-Mannai, CEO and Founder of Wadeen Developers, said: “At Wadeen Developers, we don’t just build properties – we create an exceptional lifestyle defined by innovation, elegance and purpose. Our flagship project in Dubai Islands is a bold expression of this vision, where sophisticated waterfront living meets world-class amenities, smart technologies and sustainable design to create an unparalleled living experience.
“This project represents a transformational milestone in Wadeen’s journey – a powerful step in Dubai’s dynamic real estate landscape. Backed by our successful legacy in Qatar, we are bringing fresh investment thinking and forward-looking concepts to one of the world’s most competitive markets. In partnership with AVENEW Development and Cheval Collection, we are setting new benchmarks for modern living in Dubai.”
