Hayaat Developments unveils Isolana Residences on Dubai Islands
Dubai, UAE: Hayaat Developments, an innovative and trusted bespoke luxury developer and the real estate arm of the Hayaat Group - a UAE-based principal investment firm, has officially launched Isolana Residences, its new flagship residential tower project on Dubai Islands, built at a value of AED 135 million, adding yet another major milestone to the group's international multi-billion AED development portfolio.
Isolana Residences is a bespoke project occupying one of the most coveted, prominent corner plots within the entire Dubai Islands community, with a total gross floor area of approximately 100,000 square feet. The 71 units comprise a mix of 39 one-, 22 two- and 6 three-bedroom homes, as well as 4 lavish penthouses on the top floor.
Carrying the signature design of Ashai Design's world-renowned L.A.-based architect Mr. Tony Ashai, who has designed several key projects across the UAE, including the JW Mariott Marquis Hotel on Marjan Island and Reem Hills in Abu Dhabi, Isolana Residences is set to be a one-of-a-kind, well-thought-through architectural marvel that will add unique value to Dubai's luxury real estate landscape. Commenting on the project's distinctive 'dancing balconies' design, Mr. Ashai said: 'Isolana was designed to be in keeping with the resort-like ambiance of the island, with a novel overlapping feel of its balconies. The ingenuity of its design is one that won't be replicated on the island again and will firmly stand as an aesthetic pinnacle of originality.'
Isolana Residences also distinguishes itself with its indoor courtyard concept, as well as its wide plethora of resort-inspired amenities, including its 55-meter-long infinity swimming pool, zen garden, resident club lounge, padel court, and indoor and outdoor children's play areas. Investors can also opt for their very own, private plunge pools.
Co-founder and CEO of Hayaat Developments, Mr. Afzaal Hussain, a real estate veteran with over 15 years of experience in senior leadership roles in the industry, is proud to lead the company in its journey of crafting and delivering premium living experiences in the UAE. 'At Hayaat, we're not just building properties. We're crafting quality experiences that merge innovation, sustainability and design excellence. Isolana is our latest stride in this mission of ours – we are now eagerly turning it from its concept into a reality for all those who will call it their home, in an ambitious, yet holistically well-planned timeline', he says.
Mr. Shahid Nawaz, who leads sales and marketing at Hayaat Developments, has seen an overwhelmingly positive response from the market since the project's initial soft launch at the International Property Show this year, saying: 'The substantial volume of both local and international inquiries and serious interest we've received so far is a testament to the strong demand for a product that doesn't compromise on quality. We strive to be a trailblazer in this regard and look forward to gradually launching this exceptional project's units for sales.'
'Isolana will deliver a truly resident-centric, modern living offering that fosters a sense of belonging and community, in line with the UAE's celebration of 2025 as the 'Year of Community', as announced by His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE', added Mr. Shahzaib Elahi, Co-founder and Executive Director of Hayaat Developments.
Hayaat Developments is now also gearing up for its next launch – its trophy project located in the neighbourhood of the exclusive Al Barari community on Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E 311), Villa Oasi. With full details on the project yet to be released in the coming months, Mr. Mohammed Ikhlaq, Chairman of Hayaat Group and the visionary behind Villa Oasi emphasized that it will 'creatively raise the bar in combining excellence with quality and will truly be an unparallelled luxury offering in Dubai'.

MMG was launched at the World Out of Home Organization (WOO) Annual Congress in Mexico City, and simultaneously it lit up the world through a global takeover across key DOOH media, illuminating cities and screens worldwide with its bold presence. The move reflects the global expansion of Multiply Group, the $7.2 billion holding company, which is part of IHC, the most valuable holding company in the Middle East with a market cap of over $240 billion. The newly consolidated group will serve as a launchpad to capture regional and international opportunities arising in the media sector through MMG portfolio businesses. MMG will drive performance and innovation across the OOH media sector, reshaping the UAE's media landscape through scale, AI, and strategic partnerships. To achieve its mission, MMG will invest in high-potential media assets, catalyse growth with innovation and create synergies across its portfolio through strategic investments. Jawad Hassan, Head of Media and Communications Vertical at Multiply Group, said: 'For several years, Multiply Group's ambitious growth strategy for the media sector has taken us from an integrated portfolio of three industry leaders to a media powerhouse with vast potential to redefine the entire regional media landscape in ways that will bring immediate impact and long-term value for clients.

MMG is engineered to be agile, data-led, and deeply integrated, enabling our clients to engage audiences with greater relevance, responsiveness, and resonance than ever before. This is more than media — it's momentum.' The launch of MMG follows a recent strategic agreement between Multiply Group's media vertical and Al Arabia, Arabian Contracting Services Company (Al Arabia) to create a joint venture (JV) to invest in the global out-of-home (OOH) advertising sector. Multiply Group, also announced a recent Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Saudi Media Company (SMC) – with these two strategic moves underscoring the global expansion potential of Multiply's portfolio brands.
