Wedyan, Al Ghurair Collection, Dubai

Al Ghurair Collection, the super-prime residential portfolio of Al Ghurair Development, have recently announced the launch of Wedyan, a landmark waterfront residence along the Dubai Canal. Designed by world-renowned architect Kengo Kuma in his first project in the UAE, the anticipated completion of Wedyan is in 2030, and will include a total of 149 homes, primed to be a new residential landmark and legacy investment for globally minded individuals.

The collaboration between Kengo Kuma and Al Ghurair Collection is underlined by a mutual respect and understanding of the value of design. The residences will include specialised features for art collectors, including windows with bespoke tinting to protect artworks from Dubai’s intense year-round sunlight, as well as extra-large elevators engineered to accommodate the seamless transport of sculptures, antiques, and other sizable collectables into residents’ homes. Standalone Japanese teahouse-inspired pavilions have also been designed on select residences’ balconies, for flexible use as yoga studios, recording spaces, or private offices. A highly exclusive development, Wedyan’s truly innovative USPs are tailored towards those who call Dubai home, and amongst them, collectors and connoisseurs who value design and art immensely while prioritising discretion, intuitive design and wellbeing.

Red Sea Residences, The Red Sea, Saudi Arabia

Effective from January 2026, Saudi Arabia has introduced a change in property law for foreign real estate ownership that will allow non-Saudis to own property in Saudi Arabia. This is a timely moment for the Red Sea Residences, set along Saudi Arabia’s spectacular western coastline, as a pioneering destination defined by regeneration, craftsmanship, and world-class resort living. 

Across the islands of Shura, Laheq and Ummahat, a portfolio has been formed that balances privacy, place and lifestyle. The residences are designed by the globally acclaimed architecture studio Foster + Partners, with homeowners enjoying access to curated cultural, wellness and lifestyle experiences, including Shura Links, Saudi Arabia’s first island golf course.

Shura Island is the beating heart of The Red Sea destination, bringing together luxury resorts, residences and leisure offerings with world-class hospitality, adventure and relaxation across one extraordinary setting. Above all, life here is designed with both environmental and personal security in mind. The entire destination is powered by renewable energy, and every residence is set within a protected, master-planned community that safeguards its unique ecosystems and the long-term value of its homes. For homeowners, this offers peace of mind in a community built for longevity, where the natural world is preserved, and the integrity of the destination will be maintained for generations to come.
