Gulf House Real Estate's Olaia Residences offers luxury waterfront living
Gulf House Real Estate, a premier luxury real estate developer in Dubai, has launched its signature development, Olaia Residences, an exclusive residential project set in the heart of Palm Jumeirah – one of the world's most iconic destinations.
Leading UAE brokerage firm Metropolitan Premium Properties is the exclusive sales and marketing partner for the project.
Located on Dubai's most prestigious address, Olaia captures the very essence of luxury waterfront living, boasting panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf, Dubai skyline and private beach access. State-of-the-art amenities include indoor and outdoor pools (rooftop), a wellness centre, a mini-golf, 24/7 security and concierge services.
'Olaia is more than just a residence; it's a living statement, a symbol of elevated living and personal distinction,' says Mohammed Mana Sultan Aballala, Founder and Chairman of Gulf House Real Estate. 'At Gulf House, we believe exceptional living goes beyond aesthetics, which means our developments are designed to deliver personalised service, attention to detail and a seamless experience from purchase through to post-handover care.'
Blending architectural brilliance with refined elegance, Olaia Residences offers a limited collection of bespoke duplexes and luxury apartments, crafted to deliver an extraordinary lifestyle where opulence meets serenity. The collection of uniquely designed homes, created for discerning buyers who seek individuality and prestige, boasts a sophisticated design with floor-to-ceiling glass and expansive terraces showcasing uninterrupted views.
Palm Jumeirah is synonymous with luxury and grandeur and Olaia Residences is the newest crown jewel within this globally recognised community. Olaia will become a destination where everyday life feels like an escape—where breathtaking sunrises and evenings by the sea become a daily ritual.
Investment opportunity
'From an investment perspective, the Palm Jumeirah community is among the most popular and high-performing in Dubai and it has already helped sell 20 per cent of the project prior to launch,' says Maria Karmalova, Head of Exclusive Sales at Metropolitan Premium Properties. 'There is a limited availability of new luxury developments on Palm Jumeirah, strong rental demand from high-net-worth tenants as well as excellent resale potential thanks to its central location and prestigious surroundings.'
The residences will consist of one- to three-bedroom apartments and three- to five-bedroom duplexes with the price of a one-bedroom unit starting at Dh3.2 million and the initial price for a duplex at Dh11 million. There are 18 duplexes on the top floor, with private pool, and 16 on the ground floor with sizes ranging from 2,200 square feet up to 4,000 square feet.
The available payment plan is 50/50 with a 10 per cent booking fee. Handover of the project is expected in the fourth quarter of 2027.
Olaia Residences is situated on Al Ittihad Park, 1.1 million square feet of green oasis where visitors can take relaxing strolls, have a picnic, jog on a 3.2km track, do yoga or exercise amidst beautiful greenery and a picturesque setting. Olaia is also next to The Palm Monorail, the only public transportation system on the Palm that lets its users explore key destinations such as the Golden Mile Galleria, Al Ittihad Park, Nakheel Mall and Atlantis Aquaventure. The Monorail also connects residents within minutes to the vibrant city centre, providing easy access to five-star hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants, designer boutiques and premier leisure destinations.
Gulf House Real Estate is a forward-thinking real estate developer renowned for redefining the landscape of luxury living in the UAE. With a focus on innovation, craftsmanship and lifestyle-centric design, the developer is committed to creating timeless properties that reflect the aspirations of a new generation of homeowners.

Dubai: Gold prices rise to Dh392, recover in early trade after big drop
Gold prices increased at the opening of the markets in Dubai on Tuesday after losing over Dh11 in yesterday's session. At 9am on Tuesday, the 24 karat traded at Dh392, recovering some of the losses recorded yesterday. Among the other variants, 22 karat, 21 karat and 18 karat were trading at Dh362.75, Dh348 and Dh298.25 per gram, respectively. Spot gold was trading at $3,258.43 per ounce, up 1 per cent. Precious metal plunged yesterday after the US and China announced a trade deal, prompting investors to move away from the safe haven commodity. Analysts said positive trade developments reduced demand for safe-haven assets. US-China trade tensions showed signs of easing following a major breakthrough in talks held in Switzerland. The two countries agreed to temporarily suspend tariffs. The 90-day pause provided further relief to global markets. 'There is some value-buying happening on gold at current levels which is helping to prop up the price, despite the generally better outlook for global growth with the US and China on better terms. The consolidation move in the dollar has allowed the gold price to make a mild push higher," said Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade. Traders await the US Consumer Price Index report which is due today for fresh signals on the US Federal Reserve's monetary policy trajectory. The market is expecting a 55-basis-point rate cut this year by the Fed, starting September. 'If the inflation data happened to produce a downside miss this could take some momentum away from the US dollar, which could see gold make forward progress," Waterer said.

Dubai: Gold prices plunge further, losing over Dh11 per gram
Gold prices plunged further on Monday afternoon, taking the day's drop to over Dh11 per gram. The Dubai Jewellery Group data showed 24-karat trading at Dh389 per gram, down from Dh400.5 per gram at the close of the markets over the weekend. It was trading at Dh395.25 per gram when markets opened at 9am UAE time. Similarly, 22-karat, 21-karat and 18-karat slipped to Dh360, Dh345.25 and Dh295.75 per gram, respectively. Spot gold fell to $3,234 per ounce, down 2.7 per cent, at 5pm UAE time as the precious metal lost its appeal as a safe haven due to US-China temporarily agreeing to slash tariffs in order to defuse trade war. Vijay Valecha, chief investment officer of Century Financial, said gold's Friday rally was short-lived as prices stuck to intraday losses through the Asian session on Monday, and the latest optimism over a US-China trade deal undermined demand for traditional safe-haven assets. 'The US and China will temporarily lower tariffs on each other's products… in a move to cool trade tensions and give the world's two largest economies three more months to resolve their differences,' he said. The combined 145 per cent US levies on most Chinese imports will be reduced to 30 per cent including the rate tied to fentanyl by May 14, while the 125 per cent Chinese duties on US goods will drop to 10 per cent, according to the statement and officials in a briefing Monday. 'This, along with the Federal Reserve's pause on rate cuts, assisted the US dollar to stand firm near a multi-week top, exerting pressure on the commodity.' On the geopolitical front, Valecha added that risks have shown tentative signs of easing. Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to hold direct talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on May 15, without preconditions. Meanwhile, Hamas announced plans to release Edan Alexander, the last known American hostage held in Gaza, and confirmed it will engage in direct discussions with the US aimed at achieving a ceasefire and resuming humanitarian aid. 'Looking ahead, the spotlight shifts to upcoming US inflation data and a key speech from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Thursday. These events are likely to offer fresh insights into the Fed's monetary policy path and could play a pivotal role in shaping gold's trajectory in the near term,' added Valecha. He added that the yellow metal could test the psychological $3,200 level, followed by the $3,163 level. Resistance can be seen at $3,300, and any recovery above this level can solidify bullish momentum.

Dubai: MGM tower set to open in 2027, says CEO
The construction of the MGM tower in Dubai is in full swing and is set to open in 2027, said William Hornbuckle, CEO and President of MGM Resorts International. 'The building is due to be completed in the third quarter of 2027. We're literally up on the fifth floor of the MGM tower as we speak. It's an exciting project, a truly interesting resort with all kinds of features. Hopefully we'll get to add gaming,' Hornbuckle said during the first quarter earnings call. The US-based hotel and gaming operator said last month that it has 'a non-gaming management agreement with Wasl Hospitality to bring the Bellagio, Aria, and MGM Grand brands to Dubai". In 2017, Dubai-based Wasl Hospitality and Leisure signed an agreement with MGM Hospitality to advise on the development of a premier destination resort in Dubai and to operate the resort when completed. The 26-acre prime beachfront development would feature an MGM Hotel, MGM Residences and a Bellagio Hotel, marking the debut of the MGM and Bellagio brand names in the Middle East region, the US company had said in a statement at the time of agreement. Last month, a high-level MGM team, including chairman Paul Salem, visited Dubai and met Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, First Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Finance of the UAE. William said the key mission to visit Dubai was to discuss opportunities that MGM could bring to the UAE, especially Dubai and to update the government about 'opportunities that we could bring to the UAE and Dubai specifically". Although MGM struck a non-gaming management agreement in Dubai, the UAE gaming market will reach $3-$5 billion (Dh11 to Dh18.35 billion) over the years. The multi-billion dollar Wynn Al Marjan — coming up in Ras Al Khaimah — is the first integrated gaming resort coming in the Middle East. It received a licence in October last year from the UAE regulator — General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA). Construction work on Wynn Al Marjan is underway at a fast pace with one floor per week. It is scheduled to open in early 2027.
