Hayaat unveils Isolana Residences on Dubai Islands
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 launched Isolana Residences, its new flagship residential tower project on Dubai Islands.
Built at a cost of AED135 million, this project is yet another major milestone to the group's international multi-billion AED development portfolio, the group said.
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 sq ft. The 71 units comprise a mix of 39 one-, 22 two- and 6 three-bedroom homes, as well as four lavish penthouses on the top floor.
Carrying the signature design of Ashai Design's world-renowned architect 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, 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, Afzaal Hussain, a real estate veteran with over 15 years of experience in senior leadership roles in the industry, said: '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.'
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. He said: '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 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, Mohammed Ikhlaq, Chairman of Hayaat Group and the visionary behind Villa Oasi, emphasised that it will 'creatively raise the bar in combining excellence with quality and will truly be an unparallelled luxury offering in Dubai'. – TradeArabia News Service

e& accelerates 5G-Advanced evolution with world record 600Mbps uplink
e& UAE, the flagship telecom arm of e&, has set a new world record for connectivity by achieving an Uplink (UL) speed of 600Mbps on a live 5G network, a landmark in the 5G-Advanced evolution. This significant achievement was made possible by aggregating FR1 bands at 2100MHz and C-band, paired with Uplink 3Tx (three transmit antennas) on a commercial Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) at a live 5G site, fully compliant with 3GPP Release 17 standards. This record-breaking uplink speed is a cornerstone of 5G-Advanced, empowering uplink-biased applications with unmatched performance. By mastering FR1 band aggregation and cutting-edge uplink technology, e& UAE has set a global standard for 5G excellence. Abdulrahman Al Humaidan, Vice President/Fixed Access Network, e& UAE, said: 'e& UAE's world-record 600Mbps uplink speed is a strategic move forward, stimulating the global tech landscape with a new era of hyper-fast, uplink-driven digital innovation. This isn't just a technological breakthrough, it's a launchpad for businesses and individuals to reshape the digital world, cementing the UAE as a global tech leader.' Transforming enterprise and consumer connectivity The 600Mbps uplink speed unlocks a transformative wave of connectivity, fuelling uplink-intensive applications for businesses and individuals. Enterprises can enhance operations, with smart factories and logistics hubs uploading massive sensor data in real time to power AI-driven automation and predictive analytics. In addition, cloud-hosted collaboration is enhanced, supporting instant uploads for 3D modelling, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) workflows, enabling cutting-edge innovation. Uplink-biased applications like live video analytics for smart cities and real-time drone surveillance will thrive, allowing instant data uploads for critical decision-making. For consumers, this breakthrough will redefine digital life, empowering content creators to upload 8K videos and immersive live streams to platforms like YouTube or TikTok in seconds. With this augmentation of uplink speeds, gamers will be able to enjoy lag-free cloud connectivity, while smart homes will operate with efficiency, uploading high-definition footage and IoT data instantly. Uplink-heavy applications like virtual event hosting and user-generated AR content creation will flourish, making every interaction faster, richer, and more engaging. Anchored in 3GPP Release 17, this world-record leverages advanced features like enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) to deliver next-level connectivity. By setting the global benchmark for FR1 uplink speeds, e& UAE is accelerating the 5G-Advanced evolution, driving smarter, scalable, and energy-efficient networks. This groundbreaking deployment on a commercial CPE and live 5G site showcases e& UAE's ability to turn vision into reality. With optimised FR1 2100MHz and C-band with Uplink 3Tx, e& UAE has set a foundation for 5G's future, driving a hyper-connected world of infinite possibilities. With this transformative solution, e& will be poised to empower consumer and enterprises soon once such CPEs become widely available.
