Where Diamond Developers builds

Dubai Marina Dubai Marina Dubai Marina is one of Dubai’s earliest and largest large-scale waterfront developments. Built around a stunning 3.5 km man-made canal, this fully established freehold community is home to more than 200 residential towers, including some of the city’s tallest and most recognizable skyscrapers. The area consists almost entirely of apartments—ranging from studios to expansive four-bedroom units and penthouses—with a select number of podium-level villas. It serves as both a premium residential neighborhood and a high-activity urban district, accommodating over 70,000 residents alongside a constant flow of visitors, tourists, and professionals from nearby business hubs like Dubai Internet City. Development Milestones: 1999: Masterplan commissioned. Emaar Properties appointed global design firm HOK to design a masterplan inspired by Vancouver’s Concord Pacific Place. 2003: Construction begins. Work started on land reclaimed from the Persian Gulf, including the excavation of the defining 3.5 km canal. 2008 – 2010: District infrastructure expands with the opening of Dubai Marina Mall (140+ stores) and the Red Line Metro station. 2012 – 2013: Iconic skyscrapers complete, including Princess Tower (the world’s tallest residential building at the time, at 414m) and the distinctive 90-degree twisting Cayan Tower. 2017: The world’s longest urban zipline, XLine, launches above the Marina. 2024: The resident population officially surpasses 70,000, progressing toward a planned capacity of up to 120,000. AED 1.40m Area median AED 2,787 per sq. ft. Muscat Muscat Muscat is the capital of Oman and the country’s main urban and commercial centre. It stretches for about 90 km along the Gulf of Oman coastline, with the Al Hajar Mountains on the inland side. At the end of 2025, Muscat Governorate had a population of around 1.53 million. Expatriates account for about 61%, with strong communities in areas such as Al Khuwair, Madinat Sultan Qaboos, Qurum, and Al Mouj. Muscat is known for its calm environment and low crime levels, and it is often ranked among the most liveable cities in the Gulf. AED 1.25m Area median Dubailand Dubailand Dubailand is one of the largest districts in Dubai and was originally designed as an entertainment center, combining recreational projects and large residential areas. The initial development was launched back in 2003 by Tatweer, a subsidiary of Dubai Holding with the cost of the implementation estimated at AED 236.2 billion. According to the original plan, Dubailand was supposed to occupy an area of 2,992,367 095 sq. ft and include 45 main developments and 200 subsidiary projects. The development of the area was heavily affected by the economic downturn with the development being suspended in 2008 and the construction only resuming in 2013. The tourist infrastructure of Dubailand is divided into six thematic zones (worlds), each of which features its own projects on a smaller scale: – Attractions & Experience World – Downtown – Eco-Tourism World – Sports and Outdoor World – Themed Leisure and Vacation World – Retail and Entertainment World During the construction not all Dubailand projects were completed according to the original plan. Some of them turned out to be so popular that they were separated from the area and promoted as individual communities, like Dubai Sports City, Dubai Motor City, and Arabian Ranches. The same trend is reflected in residential areas such as Mudon and Silicon Oasis. As of 2015, around AED 202B was invested in the development of Dubailand. But even with such impressive funding, the execution of a number of projects, such as Pharaohs Theme Park or Six Water Parks had to be abandoned, as well as other developments, such as Legoland and DreamWorks Studio Theme Park which were moved to other areas. AED 1.38m Area median AED 1,599 per sq. ft. Umm Fannain Umm Fannain Umm Fannain (often spelled Um Fanain) operates strictly as a highly strategic locality inside Sharjah—absolutely not Ajman, despite hugging the Ajman border. Positioned near the colossal Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), it has secured global notoriety as the definitive home of Sharjah Sustainable City. This astonishing AED 2 billion mega-joint-venture (executed between Shurooq and Diamond Developers) dominates 7.2 million sq ft. It is a radically green, ultra-secure gated master community forcefully delivering 1,250 smart-tech, solar-powered luxury villas (ranging from 3 to 5 bedrooms) phased over four violent drops. It commands a lightning-fast 10-minute commute to Sharjah International Airport. AED 1.64m Area median Al Furjan Al Furjan Al Furjan is a developing area located in the Jebel Ali District between Sheikh Zayed Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. It covers an area of 560 hectares. The main developer of the project is Nakheel. Al Furjan includes 4,000 apartments, villas, townhouses, hotels, and commercial spaces. The area offers a friendly community environment. Units are arranged in small clusters that are connected by promenades and parks. The surrounding landscaped area features 30 park areas and walking paths. AED 703k Area median AED 1,592 per sq. ft. Yas Island Yas Island Yas Island is Abu Dhabi’s premier leisure and entertainment destination, master-developed by Aldar Properties. It is famously home to Ferrari World, Yas Waterworld, Warner Bros. World, SeaWorld, the Yas Marina Circuit (Formula 1 venue), and Yas Mall—the emirate’s largest. The residential sector, a designated freehold zone open to all nationalities, features sought-after communities like Yas Acres (villas) and Water’s Edge (waterfront apartments). Supported by top schools like SABIS and West Yas Academy, and located just 10 minutes from Zayed International Airport, Yas Island is the ultimate choice for families, investors, and lifestyle buyers seeking a vibrant resort-style community. AED 1.82m Area median AED 2,218 per sq. ft. Dubai Investment Park (DIP) Dubai Investment Park (DIP) Dubai Investment Park (DIP) is a colossal mixed-use master development spanning an incredible 2,300 hectares. Established in 1997 by Dubai Investments PJSC and structurally divided into DIP 1 and DIP 2, it seamlessly integrates robust industrial and commercial zones with diverse residential neighbourhoods. Renowned for its immense affordability and highly practical infrastructure, it is strategically located near the Jebel Ali Port, Expo City, and Al Maktoum International Airport. Residential offerings range from high-yield apartments to premium villas. The district’s crown jewel is the Green Community, a highly sought-after, gated low-rise enclave offering serene, lakeside family living. AED 1.30m Area median AED 1,663 per sq. ft. Arjan Arjan Arjan is a new district located at the intersection of Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Umm Suqeim Road near Al Barsha South, which is part of the larger Dubailand area. The main developer of the project is Dubai Properties Group. Arjan features residential complexes, commercial buildings, entertainment facilities, and retail stores, and it is located within a short distance of Dubai Miracle Garden and Dubai Butterfly Garden. Arjan offers predominantly low-rise buildings, and the streets are free of noise and heavy traffic. It is an ideal area for families. AED 621k Area median AED 1,592 per sq. ft.
