Portfolio Deep Dive: Current Projects & Opportunities
Dubai Marina: The Crown Jewel Collection
Marina Gate Trilogy (Ready Stock)
Marina Gate is Select Group’s calling card. The final tower, Jumeirah Living Marina Gate, completed in 2020 with 508 branded residences and 104 serviced apartments. Since launch, these units have delivered rental yields of 6–8% annually, with resale values appreciating 15–20% in the past three years.
Best for: End-users seeking immediate occupancy; investors looking for proven rental yields.
Six Senses Residences Dubai Marina (Under Construction)
A 122-floor icon set to be the world’s tallest residential tower. It will include 251 ultra-luxury residences and 61,000+ sq ft of wellness-focused amenities. Completion is targeted for mid-2028, making it one of Dubai’s most ambitious developments.
Best for: UHNW buyers, long-term capital appreciation seekers, and prestige-driven investors.
Peninsula is Select Group’s most ambitious community-building project. This walkable waterfront neighborhood integrates residential towers, retail promenades, and lifestyle amenities along the Dubai Canal.
Key highlights:
-
Staggered handovers reduce risk for investors
-
Jumeirah Living Business Bay: 82 branded luxury units
-
Strong potential for capital appreciation as Business Bay continues to mature
Best for: Families seeking modern community living; investors preferring diversified exposure through phased delivery.
A wellness-driven luxury development that combines resort amenities with branded residences on one of Dubai’s most prestigious beachfront addresses. Service charges typically range AED 40–60 per sq ft annually, but are balanced by rental rates among the top 5% of Dubai’s market.
Best for: Lifestyle buyers prioritizing exclusivity; international investors seeking trophy assets.
Nautica offers one- and two-bedroom apartments across twin contemporary towers. Positioned at more accessible price points, it’s designed for young professionals and first-time investors who still want Select Group quality.
Best for: Entry-level investors; professionals seeking modern apartments outside traditional Marina stock.

While Emaar builds large-scale master communities and DAMAC focuses on themed volume, Select Group concentrates on premium waterfront developments. This strategy has delivered 23% higher price per square foot compared to non-waterfront equivalents in Dubai Marina and Business Bay.

Fewer budget-friendly options

Higher service charges in branded properties
-
Concentrated exposure to luxury-driven segments

Dubai’s 2040 Master Plan supports new waterfront growth
