Setting a new benchmark for coastal luxury, Bonds Avenue offers contemporary
waterfront living in the heart of Dubai Islands, as the emirate celebrates a record
breaking year in real estate transactions.
Amirah Developments, a Dubai-based real estate developer, today unveils its maiden project, Bonds Avenue, a high-quality residential development poised to redefine luxury living on the newly master-planned Dubai Islands. The announcement comes as the UAE's real estate asset value exceeds Dh2.5 trillion in recent time.
Bonds Avenue is a testament to architectural excellence and sustainable living. The development features a curated selection of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, grand four-bedroom penthouses, and expansive three-bedroom townhouses and triplexes within the same complex. Each residence is meticulously designed with organic, flowing forms that break free from conventional design norms, offering residents an extraordinary living experience that prioritises exclusivity and sophistication.
With unit sizes ranging from 810 to 4,416 square feet, and starting prices from Dh1.63 million to Dh9.95 million, each home is crafted to deliver spacious layouts, elegant finishes, and an elevated lifestyle experience. Whether it's the comfort of a one-bedroom residence or the grandeur of a waterfront penthouse, Bonds Avenue caters to discerning buyers seeking architectural sophistication, panoramic views, and premium quality in the heart of Dubai Islands.
Its location on Dubai Islands offers the best waterfront living with unlimited view of the Arabian Gulf that is just a ten-minute drive from Dubai International Airport and a few minutes away from some of the best tourism attractions of Dubai – Dubai Creek, the Gold Souq and Dubai Islands itself when the development is complete with a large shopping mall, a marina, beachfront promenade, and the Night Souq, etc.
Strategically located on Dubai Islands, Bonds Avenue offers unparalleled accessibility as well as the best waterfront living with unlimited view of the Arabian Gulf, being just minutes away from key landmarks such as the Gold Souq Metro Station, ten minutes away from Dubai International Airport, Downtown Dubai, and Business Bay. The development is well-connected via major highways and public transport options, ensuring residents have easy access to top attractions, schools, hospitals, shopping centres, and entertainment hubs.
Residents will enjoy panoramic views of over 21 kilometres of pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters, perfect for yachting and water sports. The community is enriched with world-class hospitality in luxurious resorts and embraces a sustainable lifestyle with eco-friendly infrastructure and green spaces.
Amirah Developments offers a flexible 60/40 payment plan to accommodate investors and homeowners: 20 percent on booking, 40 per cent during construction in scheduled instalments, and 40 per cent on completion in January 2027. This plan aligns with the growing demand for premium properties in Dubai, where off-plan sales have surged by 41 per cent in the first half of 2024, reflecting robust investor confidence.
Bonds Avenue is more than a development — it's a vision brought to life. At Amirah, we set out to create not just homes, but legacies. This project reflects our commitment to building with integrity, elegance, and future-forward thinking. Dubai Islands offers the ideal canvas for a community that is both immersive and iconic. We're not just building structures — we're crafting extraordinary experiences,' Mr. Muhammad Yousuf Jafrani, Founder and Chairman of Amirah Developments, says.
'Every home in Bonds Avenue has carefully been crafted to offer maximum living space. It is a luxury property that offers modern and contemporary design that is offered at an affordable price to the buyers and investors,' he further adds.
Dubai's real estate sector continues to display remarkable resilience and growth. According to the Dubai Land Department, property transactions in 2024 reached a historic high, surpassing Dh893 billion across 331,300 deals. Residential units remain in strong demand, with waterfront and luxury segments witnessing accelerated growth due to the city's reputation as a global investment hub and lifestyle destination.
The luxury real estate market in Dubai has experienced a year-on-year increase of over 40 per cent, driven by high-net-worth individuals, international investors, and end-users seeking long-term value. With limited coastal inventory and increasing global appeal, projects like Bonds Avenue are positioned to become prime assets in both local and international portfolios.

Built on the pillars of quality, innovation, and excellence, Amirah is committed to reshaping urban living through sustainable, luxurious, and thoughtfully curated communities.

UAE SMEs show steady optimism despite economic headwinds, says RAKBANK SME Confidence Index 2025
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, June, 2025 – RAKBANK has released its latest SME Confidence Index, highlighting a promising outlook for the UAE's Small & Medium Enterprise (SME) sector. Based on insights from over 1,200 UAE-based SMEs collected between October and December 2024, the report – done in partnership with RFI Global – reveals an SME Confidence Index score of 57. Measured against a base score of 50, the findings reflect a stable and optimistic sentiment against a dynamic economic environment. The 2025 findings illustrate that UAE SMEs continue to build on the momentum of the resilience demonstrated in recent years. Despite a marginal drop in the overall Index score by 4 points from 61 in 2023 to 57 in 2024, the findings show that optimism remains steady, with over two-thirds (68%) of SMEs viewing the future business environment as favourable, and more than 60% reporting revenue growth over the past two years. While challenges persist, including rising operational costs, corporate tax implementation, and high borrowing costs, the overall trajectory signals adaptability and optimism among SMEs in navigating the evolving business landscape. Raheel Ahmed, Group Chief Executive Officer of RAKBANK, commented on the findings, saying: 'This has been a milestone month for RAKBANK's Business Banking Group, reinforcing our commitment to the UAE's dynamic SME sector. We first launched the RAKBANK RFI SME Confidence Index in 2024, providing timely insights into SME sentiment, challenges, and growth outlook across the country. RAKBANK has also been named the UAE's Best Bank for SMEs at the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2025, a recognition of our continued focus on enabling business success. In a further boost to the SME ecosystem, RAKBANK and Emirates Development Bank announced a strategic AED 1 billion co-financing partnership during the 'Make it in the Emirates' forum, held under the patronage of the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology. Small and medium enterprises are the backbone of every thriving economy, and in the UAE, they play a central role in driving diversification and sustainable development. At RAKBANK, we continue to reinforce our commitment to be a trusted partner on their journey, providing the insights, tools and support they need to grow their businesses and contribute to the wider economy.' Key highlights: The report showcases several trends shaping the SME sector in 2025. Consumer & Retail Services remain the highest-performing sector, driven by a continued rise in consumer spending and successful adoption of new business channels. The report also highlights how SMEs across industries are prioritising product innovation and market expansion as key strategies for growth in a competitive landscape. While Consumer & Retail Services SMEs achieved a sector confidence score of 60, Construction & Manufacturing (57), Transport (57), and Trading (58) remained steady in confidence, while Public Services and Professional Services saw more notable declines to 56, largely due to increased costs and lower confidence in debt servicing. Key takeaways include: Overall confidence remains above baseline: While the Index score decreased slightly to 57 from 61 in 2024, it still signals positive sentiment across the board. Revenue growth continues: More than 3 in 5 SMEs reported an increase in annual revenue over the last two financial years. SMEs with revenue up to AED 30 million posted the highest confidence score at 58, while larger SMEs (AED 30-100 million) dipped to 55. Rising costs present challenges: Over two-thirds of SMEs experienced higher operational costs, while only 39% expressed confidence in meeting debt obligations, down from last year. Digital adoption is on the rise: 22% of SMEs now sell their products or services online, and 45% use digital banking channels monthly. Sustainability is gaining attention: 55% of SMEs are either on or planning to begin a sustainability journey, with 1 in 3 citing it as a short-term business objective. Meeting challenges head-on: While UAE SMEs remain optimistic, they are also navigating barriers such as increased costs of doing business, rising demand for credit, competitive pressures, and adapting to the corporate tax regime introduced in 2024. To address these issues, many SMEs are investing ambitiously in technology, operational efficiencies, and sustainability strategies aimed at long-term growth. The report further emphasises the role of financial partners in this equation, with SMEs citing tailored banking solutions as a key support system. This finding underscores RAKBANK's continued mission to empower UAE SMEs with innovative financial products, relevant market data, and strategic guidance. What's especially encouraging from the survey, is the sector's forward-looking mindset. We're seeing increased focus on entering new markets, investing in talent, and modernising payment infrastructure. At RAKBANK, we see our role as a partner in that journey, providing not just financial solutions but also the advisory support needed to help them grow with confidence.
