Imtiaz Developments is one of the standout names when it comes to waterfront developments in the UAE, reinforcing its commitment to delivering lifestyle-led, design-driven living experiences. At the helm of this growing presence is Masih Imtiaz, the founder and CEO of Imtiaz Developments, who has redefined what it means to lead in the world of boutique luxury real estate in the UAE.
How does Imtiaz Developments differentiate itself in the competitive UAE real estate market?
At Imtiaz, we view development as a craft — not a commodity. Our distinction lies in delivering fully curated, hotel-grade residences that are not only fully furnished but also tailored to the evolving lifestyles of our customers.
What gives us an edge over competition is having our own in-house construction company, which gives us complete end-to-end control over project completion. This ensures not only quality but also consistency and speed. To date, every project delivered by Imtiaz has been handed over ahead of schedule — a track record that speaks to our operational discipline and commitment to our buyers. We don’t just promise on-time delivery; we engineer it into the process.
Another defining edge is our early and strategic focus on Dubai’s waterfront future. Imtiaz is leading the way in the transformation of Dubai Islands, with over 18 developments currently underway in this emerging coastal destination. We’ve offered our customers true first-mover advantage in a district that’s rapidly becoming one of the most coveted residential addresses in the city.
What are some of your flagship projects nearing delivery, and what makes them stand out?
We’re proud to announce that Imtiaz is on track with five early handovers this year, with all projects scheduled to be delivered months ahead of their promised dates — a reflection of our operational efficiency and in-house construction capabilities. We are particularly excited about the upcoming handovers of Westwood Grande II and Pearl House I in the coming few months, located in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), one of the most transacted residential areas in Dubai known for its impressive ROI and high rental yields. These projects are emblematic of our development philosophy: Thoughtful design, functional living, and investor-friendly features.
Beyond JVC, our footprint spans key growth corridors such as Dubailand and Dubai Islands, where we continue to deliver lifestyle-driven communities with long-term investment performance. And looking ahead, we are excited about our entry into Meydan — a district with growing investor interest and strong luxury potential, making it the perfect canvas for the next chapter of iconic Imtiaz developments.
Imtiaz has positioned itself as a leading waterfront developer with back-to-back launches. What are some of your projects that appeal to buyers?
Our emergence as a leading waterfront developer is deeply tied to our strategic focus on Dubai Islands — a destination we identified early for its long-term potential and lifestyle promise. With over 18 developments underway, Imtiaz Developments is proud to be at the forefront of shaping this coastal destination.
One of our landmark projects is Wynwood by Imtiaz, set to be the tallest residential development on Dubai Islands. With a bold, artistic design and vibrant lifestyle amenities, Wynwood brings a fresh, urban energy to the waterfront, overseeing the canal views and ideally located near the newly announced Dubai Islands Bridge, a vital infrastructure upgrade that will transform connectivity.
One of our signature projects is Côtier House, a boutique marina-front project that offers refined elegance, panoramic sea views, and a sense of curated calm — perfect for end-users seeking exclusivity and serenity.
What makes Dubai Islands particularly compelling is its evolving masterplan — low-density beachfront communities, open public spaces, and a vision built around wellness, walkability, and lifestyle. The RTA’s newly awarded contract for an 8-lane bridge, will ensure seamless access to and from the mainland, further enhancing the area’s appeal.
At Imtiaz Developments, we are proud to be contributing to this visionary landscape and look forward to shaping world-class, human-centric communities that define the next era of Dubai’s coastal living.
What advice would you offer to investors looking to enter the Dubai property market?
Start with trust. Always partner with a developer known for transparency, timely delivery, and a clear commitment to value creation. Delays erode not just ROI but confidence.
Secondly, prioritize location. Choose developments in areas poised for long-term growth and lifestyle evolution — places like Meydan, Dubai Islands, or JVC.
Lastly, align your investment with your personal or financial vision. Whether you’re investing for rental income, capital appreciation, or legacy, the best real estate decisions are made when clarity meets opportunity, and when timing meets the right partner.
What’s next on the horizon for Imtiaz Developments?
We’re entering a bold new chapter — one defined by visionary architecture and experiential living. Our upcoming entry into Meydan marks a significant milestone as we expand into one of Dubai’s most prestigious districts. This development will embody our commitment to sculptural design, intelligent living, and a lifestyle tailored for the global elite.
In parallel, we’re continuing to lead the way in waterfront living with several new projects planned across Dubai Islands. These communities are being designed to offer a seamless blend of privacy, panoramic views, and curated experiences — cementing our position at the forefront of Dubai’s next wave of luxury residential destinations.
