Imtiaz Developments has acquired a strategic development plot in Downtown Jebel Ali, marking a further expansion of its presence in Dubai. The site is planned for a mixed-use project with an estimated development value of AED 2bn ($544m).
The acquisition comes as Dubai continues to advance large-scale infrastructure and urban development initiatives across its southern corridor. Downtown Jebel Ali forms part of this broader expansion, with increasing attention from developers seeking to position projects within emerging districts.
Downtown Jebel Ali gains momentum as a growth corridor
The newly acquired plot is located within the Downtown Jebel Ali master development area, which is being shaped as one of Dubai’s key growth zones. The location offers connectivity to major destinations, including Palm Jebel Ali and Al Maktoum International Airport.
Palm Jebel Ali is being developed as a waterfront destination, while the expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport is expected to strengthen the area’s role within global aviation and logistics networks.
Details of the mixed-use development planned
Imtiaz Developments intends to deliver a large-scale mixed-use project on the site. The proposed development will integrate residential, hospitality, lifestyle and community-focused elements, in line with the company’s design-led approach.
The project adds to the developer’s growing portfolio across Dubai, which includes developments in Dubai Islands, Dubailand and Meydan. Several new project launches are also expected during the year.
Developer cites long-term confidence in Dubai’s real estate market
Masih Imtiaz, CEO of Imtiaz Developments, stated that the acquisition reflects a long-term commitment to Dubai’s development trajectory.
“Dubai has once again demonstrated its resilience and strength in navigating challenges. The leadership, infrastructure, and long-term vision of this city have proven that Dubai is built not only for growth, but also for stability during uncertain times,” he said.
“Our decision to acquire a strategic development plot in Downtown Jebel Ali reflects our strong confidence in Dubai’s real estate market. We firmly believe that Dubai will continue to evolve and emerge even stronger, and we are proud to contribute to that journey.”
As Dubai continues to extend its urban footprint across the corridor connecting Dubai Marina, Expo City Dubai, Jebel Ali Port, Palm Jebel Ali and Al Maktoum International Airport, Downtown Jebel Ali is emerging as part of this wider development landscape.
