Hado by Beyond
The first residential project in Beyond's Siora beachfront district on Dubai Islands: three 21-storey towers of 678 one- to four-bedroom homes, with remaining stock in the second tower from AED 2.2 million and completion in 2029.
What works
- Part of a planned beachfront district with 6 km of beach and more than 70% open green space.
- Backed by Omniyat Group, which has completed landmark Dubai buildings.
- Developer stock in Tower B across one- to four-bedroom types in November 2026.
What to weigh
- Beyond has not yet completed a building under its own name.
- Phase 1 is sold out on Property Finder; only Tower B stock remains, so the choice of floors and outlooks is narrower.
- 50% is due on handover, so the buyer needs cash or a mortgage in 2029.
The Meriva Collection
Ellington's first hospitality-led scheme: five beachfront residential buildings, signature residences and a hotel on Dubai Islands, with apartments from AED 2.7 million and completion listed for mid-2030.
What works
- Direct beach access on Dubai Islands, with an on-site hotel planned at the centre of the scheme
- Wide mix, from one-bedroom apartments to penthouses and signature residences with private pools
- Large shared amenities, including a 2 km jogging track and indoor and outdoor pools
What to weigh
- Completion is listed for June 2030, a long wait for an off-plan buyer
- Dubai Islands has a heavy pipeline of beachfront launches due around the same time
- The hotel operator had not been named in Ellington's announcement
