Dubai’s luxury real estate sector continues its expansion with Shamal Holding’s announcement of The Dubai Beach EDITION, a transformative beachfront development at Dubai Harbour that introduces the Middle East’s first EDITION Branded Residences and the brand’s first beachfront resort in the UAE.
The project, developed by H&H and designed by internationally acclaimed architecture firm RSHP (Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners), represents a significant milestone in the emirate’s seafront living offerings. The development will feature 165 private residences across four low-rise pavilions, alongside a 185-room hotel and suite property.
Residential specifications and amenities
The residences will range from two to four-bedroom homes, spanning 1,450 to 3,770 square feet, designed to reflect EDITION’s hallmark style of understated luxury and intuitive living. Residents will enjoy exclusive beach access, panoramic views of Dubai Harbour, the shoreline, and the city skyline.
The development will offer curated amenities including private beaches, landscaped gardens, infinity pools, lounges, art spaces, restaurants, co-working areas, and a wellness club featuring spa facilities, gym, and treatment rooms. Resident-only areas will ensure privacy and exclusivity for homeowners.
Adjacent to the residences, The Dubai Beach EDITION hotel will offer dining, social, and wellness experiences designed to complement the brand’s ethos of creativity, craftsmanship, and contemporary hospitality.
Developer perspectives and market positioning
Abdulla Binhabtoor, CEO of Shamal Holding, commented on the development’s significance:
“Dubai’s luxury real estate and hospitality sectors continue to set global benchmarks. The Dubai Beach EDITION is not just another addition to the market, it elevates it. It embodies our vision to shape Dubai Harbour into a global benchmark for seafront living, combining authenticity, design excellence, and enduring value.”
Miltos Bossinis, CEO of H&H, added:
“The Dubai Beach EDITION represents a new chapter in Dubai’s luxury landscape, where modern design meets coastal serenity. We are proud to bring this project to life, blending EDITION’s timeless hospitality with Dubai’s dynamic spirit to create an iconic address.”
Sales and timeline
A dedicated sales centre for The Residences at The Dubai Beach EDITION has opened in Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), offering exclusive previews and early registration opportunities for prospective buyers. The project is scheduled for completion in 2029.
The announcement underscores Dubai Harbour’s growing prominence as a premier mixed-use waterfront destination, complementing the emirate’s wider strategy to strengthen its position as a global luxury real estate hub. The EDITION brand’s entry into the Middle East residential market marks a significant expansion of Marriott International’s luxury portfolio in the region.
