STAMN launches prime residential development on Dubai Islands
The mid-rise development features 63 residences, from one-bed luxury apartments through to exclusive four-bed townhouses.
Designed by Horizon, Nautis takes inspiration from the waves of the surrounding Arabian Gulf, and will have a range of amenities, including an elegant infinity pool and sundeck, trendy gym, yoga studio, cosy reading garden, and social barbecue facilities.
Speaking at the launch, CEO Zheng Jian said: "We're privileged to launch Nautis Residences on the incredible Dubai Islands, which we believe is a master development that will rival the Palm Jumeirah for popularity in the coming years. Nautis is elegantly designed and we anticipate strong demand for this limited collection of residences."
Dubai Islands is a master development designed by Nakheel, the creators of the Palm Jumeirah, which connects five islands with more than 60 km of waterfront and 20 km of beaches.
It is being positioned in the same bracket as the UAE's other iconic island real estate projects, underlining strong future potential.
"Overall, Dubai Islands represents robust value for money in terms of price per square foot, especially given its proximity to Dubai Downtown, tourist attractions and international airports," remarked Jian.
"With world-class dining destinations, yacht marinas and championship golf courses on the doorstep, investors are quickly realising the potential for capital appreciation," he added.
Nautis will have a ground floor lobby, two parking levels and eight residential floors. It will be located on a prime plot near to the upcoming Dubai Islands Mall on the closest island to Dubai mainland (Island A) and served by interconnecting bridges.
In close proximity, there will be a range of community spaces including retail, leisure, dining, entertainment, hotels and resorts, marinas, education (schools) and healthcare (hospital) facilities, said Jian.
"There will also be a separate children's play zone and kids pool to appeal to family buyers," he stated.
STAMN, he said, was rapidly becoming an influential developer in Dubai, with more than AED250 million ($70 million) invested, three projects under development and a fourth to be announced later in 2025.
Nautis Residences will range from AED1.74 million to more than AED6.6 million, representing an average price per sq ft of AED2,300. Comparably, off-plan projects on Palm Jumeirah are valued at an average AED5,809 per sq ft, demonstrating clear room for an uplift in valuations as Dubai Islands becomes more established.
By Q4 2027, when Nautis residents will be able to move in, many of the biggest projects and destinations on Dubai Islands will also be completed. Sales are now live, with prospective investors also able to benefit from a 40/60 handover payment plan, he added. -TradeArabia News Service

Dubai is becoming Crypto's new playground as Singapore tightens regulations
Dubai is fast emerging as a magnet for global cryptocurrency players as regulatory tightening in Singapore prompts a new wave of digital asset firms to relocate to more business-friendly jurisdictions. A growing number of exchanges, including Bitget and Bybit, are actively exploring Dubai and Hong Kong as alternative hubs after Singapore introduced sweeping new restrictions on overseas crypto activity. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) announced last month that all crypto service providers incorporated in the city-state and serving international clients must obtain a Digital-Token Service Provider licence by June 30, 2025. Those who fail to comply could face fines of up to SGD 250,000 (Dh734,500) and three years in prison. With no grace period or exemptions for smaller players, the directive has triggered what industry insiders are calling a "crypto exodus." 'This is effectively a moratorium on fresh licences, hence the migration,' said Vikram R Singh, CEO of blockchain consultancy Antier, which recently expanded its operations to IFZA (International Free Zone Authority) in Dubai. 'Singapore is tightening the screws, while Dubai is opening the door wider.' The UAE's approach to digital assets offers a stark contrast. Over the past three years, the country has developed a comprehensive regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies, earning the confidence of global players seeking predictability, innovation, and favourable tax regimes. According to global compliance consultancy Sumsub, the UAE attracted crypto investments worth more than $30 billion in 2024 alone, marking a new regional high. A major draw for both individual investors and companies is the UAE's tax structure. There is no income or capital gains tax on crypto profits for individuals, while corporate entities operating from free zones can reduce the newly introduced 9 per cent federal corporate tax to virtually zero if their revenues are generated outside the country. Moreover, unlike many jurisdictions where regulatory oversight is centralised, the UAE offers multiple regulatory options. While federal authorities oversee crypto activities on the mainland, independent frameworks are administered by free-zone regulators in Dubai, the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), and IFZA. 'This multi-regulator environment allows founders to pick the oversight that best fits their business model,' Singh said, describing the UAE as 'possibly the most pragmatic and adaptive crypto jurisdiction in the world right now.' Dubai's credentials as a crypto hub received a major boost in April when TOKEN2049, the world's largest crypto event, attracted nearly 15,000 delegates from more than 4,000 companies. The event showcased the emirate's growing influence in the blockchain and digital finance space, supported by strong public-private collaboration. Notably, local capital is also backing infrastructure to support the industry's growth. Emirates NBD's Liv digital bank and Abu Dhabi's MGX fund are jointly funding the development of a 30-storey 'Crypto Tower' in the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), which will house crypto startups, accelerators, and venture firms. Dubai regulators are also taking steps to prepare the financial system for the next wave of digital transformation. The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) recently issued fresh guidance on tokenised securities and real-world assets, a move seen as paving the way for greater institutional adoption. Singh said Antier is already collaborating with UAE partners to launch marketplaces for tokenised assets, aligned with the country's digital economy strategy. 'Dubai's proactive stance perfectly matches our infrastructure for real-world asset tokenisation and digital asset trading,' Singh said. 'As tokenisation reshapes global finance, we intend to provide the bridge between traditional markets and Web3.' Experts believe that Singapore's clampdown will only accelerate Dubai's ascent in the crypto ecosystem. Already home to major players like Binance, and OKX, Dubai continues to position itself as a global centre for blockchain innovation, digital finance, and tokenised markets. What sets the emirate apart is its balance of regulatory clarity and entrepreneurial freedom. While ensuring robust compliance mechanisms, Dubai encourages experimentation and growth through regulatory sandboxes and innovation-friendly policies. The Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), launched in 2022, has been central in creating a structured yet welcoming ecosystem for digital asset firms. As more global crypto firms seek regulatory certainty and operational efficiency, Dubai's blend of infrastructure, investment climate, and strategic geographic location is proving to be an irresistible combination. With Singapore tightening its regulatory perimeter and other jurisdictions still catching up, Dubai appears poised to solidify its position as the world's next crypto capital.

UAE Air Taxi Frontier Takes Off in Dubai and Abu Dhabi
Arabian Post Staff -Dubai Dubai and Abu Dhabi have emerged as epicentres of a pioneering surge in electric air taxi trials, with two leading US firms—Joby Aviation and Archer Aviation—making significant strides toward establishing urban air mobility networks in the Emirates. Both pilots mark landmark achievements in eVTOL technology, underscoring the UAE's ambition to lead the field by the mid-2020s. Joby Aviation achieved a milestone in Dubai by completing its first manned transition flights. The aircraft executed full vertical take‑off, horizontal cruising and vertical landing sequences, signalling readiness for commercial operations as early as 2026. With a range reaching 160 km and cruise speeds up to 320 km/h, these flights demonstrate capability to transform journeys such as those between Dubai International Airport and Palm Jumeirah—cutting travel time from 45 minutes by road to around 12 minutes by air. Joby's entry follows a six-year exclusivity agreement with Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority, aligned with infrastructure build-out including a vertiport at DXB. ADVERTISEMENT Almost simultaneously in Abu Dhabi, Archer Aviation conducted its inaugural test flight of the Midnight eVTOL at Al Bateen Executive Airport. The design, a carbon‑fibre‑skinned craft powered by multiple independent motors and battery packs, was evaluated under extreme climate conditions—high temperatures, humidity and dust—to validate UAE‑specific operational readiness. Emirati authorities, including personnel from the General Civil Aviation Authority, Abu Dhabi Investment Office and Abu Dhabi Airports, observed the flight, reinforcing the regulatory support behind the project. Archer is impressively backed by institutional investors and strategic partnerships, having raised nearly US$2 billion, including funding from Stellantis, United Airlines and Abu Dhabi's 2 Point Zero, positioning it well to deploy a 'Launch Edition' fleet of air taxis in Abu Dhabi in early 2026. Its Midnight aircraft can accommodate one pilot and four passengers, reach speeds of up to 240 km/h, and recharge rapidly between Flights. Dubai and Abu Dhabi's dual-hosting of these test flights underscores a competitive yet complementary approach to cultivating the UAE as a global urban air mobility hub. Joby holds exclusive Dubai rights, while Archer has pledged infrastructure investment in Abu Dhabi, including converting facilities like the Cruise Terminal helipad into dual-use vertiports. Both firms enjoy the government‑backed Smart and Autonomous Systems Council and its SAVI cluster as key enablers. Challenges persist: both operations require final regulatory approvals, sustainable vertiport rollout, and demonstration of consistent performance under harsh environmental conditions. Financial markets have already factored in execution risks; for example, Morgan Stanley moderated its price target for Joby amid aerospace supply-chain pressures. Yet ambitions remain bold. Joby is advancing FAA certification and aims to launch in other global markets, such as New York and Los Angeles, once Dubai begins operations. Meanwhile, Archer is linking global playbooks, forming networks with United Airlines and gearing for Olympic deployment in Los Angeles. As both eVTOL manufacturers drive testing deeper into summer, UAE regulators are working in parallel to issue flight clearances. Joby's vertiport in Dubai is set for Q1 2026 completion, while Aviation Authorities in both emirates coordinate type certifications. The nation's progressive embrace of air taxis represents a strategic leap in sustainable urban transit. Quiet, electric, zero-emission profiles align with broader UAE clean‑tech objectives. With ambitions to integrate these vehicles into daily commutes, airport shuttles and even rescue missions, policymakers are betting on airborne mobility becoming a normalised, accessible element of future transport regimes.
