Hayaat Developments unveils Isolana Residences on Dubai Islands
The UK-born developer leverages its decades of global expertise to breathe life into the highly sought-after Dubai Islands
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'.

Dubai real estate: PRYPCO Mint launches second tokenised property with investment from just $545
Dubai real est a te investors can buy a share of a AED1.875m ($510,500) home for just AED2,000 ($545) with tokenised property set to hit market this week. platform PRYPCO Mint has unveiled its second tokenised property offering, marking another significant step in the evolution of fractional property ownership in the UAE. Following the success of its inaugural tokenised listing, which was fully funded in less than 24 hours, PRYPCO Mint's new property listing goes live on June 11, further solidifying Dubai's role as a global leader in real estate innovation. Democratising Dubai real estate ownership The latest listing features a one-bedroom apartment in the prestigious Kensington Waters, located in Mohammed Bin Rashid City. Valued at AED1.875m ($510,500), the apartment is offered at a discounted rate of AED1.5m ($408,000), providing investors immediate equity and value. Fractional ownership begins at just AED2,000 ($545), allowing a new generation of investors to enter the premium real estate market through affordable, blockchain-backed investment options. Amira Sajwani, Founder and CEO of PRYPCO, said: 'The incredible response to our first tokenised property proved that investors are ready for a smarter, more accessible way to invest in real estate. 'With our second property, we're continuing to break down traditional barriers and offer high-quality opportunities to a broader, more diverse audience. At PRYPCO, our mission is to democratise property ownership, and this is just the beginning.' This launch follows the success of PRYPCO Mint's first-ever tokenised real estate transaction, which was executed in May 2025. The platform's debut property, a two-bedroom apartment in Business Bay, attracted 224 investors from over 40 nationalities, with an average investment of AED10,714 ($2,920). The listing, priced at AED2.4m ($653,500)—below its Dubai Land Department (DLD) valuation of AED2.89m ($787,000) —was fully funded in under 24 hours, demonstrating strong demand for transparent, technology-driven, and value-oriented real estate products. Regulatory milestone for blockchain-powered real estate A key milestone in the project's development was the issuance of Property Token Ownership Certificates by the Dubai Land Department (DLD) to the first group of investors. This certificate formally acknowledges blockchain-based property ownership, aligning the tokenisation of real estate with Dubai's robust legal and regulatory framework. This move is part of the broader Real Estate Tokenisation project, launched in collaboration with the Dubai Land Department and the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), aiming to institutionalise the emerging asset class within the UAE. The project is built on a secure and scalable blockchain infrastructure powered by Ctrl Alt, which issues ownership tokens via the XRP Ledger. Zand Bank, the platform's official banking partner, ensures financial integration, guaranteeing a seamless investment experience. Targeting tech-savvy investors and millennials PRYPCO Mint is designed to appeal to tech-savvy investors, millennials, and first-time buyers looking for flexible, liquid investment opportunities in the real estate sector. The platform's mobile-first experience reimagines property ownership by transforming what has traditionally been a slow, capital-heavy process into a streamlined, inclusive investment option. Currently available to UAE residents holding valid Emirates IDs, PRYPCO Mint plans to expand its reach to international investors in the next phase, further enhancing Dubai's reputation as a global hub for real estate innovation. The project aims to revolutionise how property is bought and sold, offering a more accessible, digital-first approach to investing in the UAE's dynamic real estate market.
