Buying from Durar Group
What to check before you reserve, and what they do well.
What to check before you buy
- Masa Residence was scheduled to complete in the second quarter of 2026. We found no public confirmation of completion as of November 2026. Ask for the current construction status and any revised date in writing.
- Basic facts about the group, including when it was founded, are presented inconsistently across sources, and much of the coverage is sponsored. It publishes no financial statements.
- It has several Al Marjan Island projects under way at once, all exposed to the same market and the same Wynn resort timetable.
- Designer branding adds to price and usually to service charges. Compare price per square foot with unbranded buildings on the island before paying a premium.
- Projects are often carried out with partners or landowners. Check which legal entity is the registered developer for the specific project.
What Durar Group does well
- Has built in Dubai before entering Ras Al Khaimah: J One in Business Bay and Jasmine Lane at Jumeirah Golf Estates are cited as earlier projects.
- Works with established design names (YOO Inspired by Starck, Missoni, Elie Saab), which helps differentiate its apartments in a crowded Al Marjan Island market.
- Appointed Christie's International Real Estate as exclusive sales partner for Masa Residence, an agency with a reputation to protect.
About Durar Group
Durar is a privately held, Dubai-based developer and investment company chaired by Ibrahim Al Habib. Accounts of its origins differ. Sponsored coverage of the group describes roots in Saudi Arabia going back more than 90 years, while Christie's International Real Estate, its sales partner in Ras Al Khaimah, gives 2009 as the year of establishment. We have left the founding year out. It publishes no accounts, and it often works in partnership with landowners and other regional groups, among them Ali & Sons of Abu Dhabi and RKM Group.
Its earlier Dubai work includes J One, a mixed-use project on the Dubai Canal in Business Bay, and Jasmine Lane by Elie Saab at Jumeirah Golf Estates. Since 2023 its attention has turned to Ras Al Khaimah, where it has several projects on Al Marjan Island, each with a design brand attached: Masa Residence with YOO Inspired by Starck, and Moonstone and Trio Isle with Missoni.
Masa Residence is the project on which its record in the emirate will be judged. Launched in October 2023 with an estimated sales value of AED 700 million, it comprises about 395 apartments and eight villas, sold through Christie's as exclusive agent. At launch its completion was scheduled for the second quarter of 2026. That date has passed, and as of November 2026 we could not find a public announcement that the building has been completed or handed over.
We found no published standard payment plan. Terms should be confirmed for each project, along with the escrow account details registered with the Ras Al Khaimah or Dubai authorities.
Durar Group: questions buyers ask
Is Durar Group a reliable developer?
Durar has earlier Dubai projects to its name, but it is private, discloses little, and its first Ras Al Khaimah project, Masa Residence, had a completion target of the second quarter of 2026 that we could not confirm was met. Verify the status of the specific building.
Where does Durar Group build?
In Dubai, where its projects include J One in Business Bay and Jasmine Lane at Jumeirah Golf Estates, and in Ras Al Khaimah, where it has Masa Residence, Moonstone and Trio Isle on Al Marjan Island.
When will Masa Residence be completed?
At launch in late 2023 the developer scheduled completion for the second quarter of 2026. We found no public confirmation of completion as of November 2026, so ask the developer or its agent for the current date.
