Emirates Developments has officially unveiled Jumeirah Residences Al Maryah Island, a landmark branded residential project developed in partnership with global luxury hospitality brand Jumeirah, marking a major step forward in Abu Dhabi’s vision for design-led, waterfront living. Launched at a high-profile event at Louvre Abu Dhabi on January 28, 2026, the announcement drew more than 700 guests and even featured global icon Katy Perry performing that night.
Located on Al Maryah Island, Jumeirah Residences Al Maryah Island sets a new benchmark for ultra-luxury residential living in the UAE. The development brings together world-class architecture, hospitality-driven services and a highly private residential environment, all within a culturally significant urban setting.
The project will comprise 253 one- to five-bedroom apartments, offering an elevated lifestyle in the heart of the capital. Positioned adjacent to The Galleria Mall and overlooking the waterfront canal, residents will enjoy direct promenade access alongside uninterrupted views of Reem Island and Abu Dhabi’s skyline. Each residence is designed to balance upscale community living with the exclusivity and refinement expected of a Jumeirah-branded address.
Conceived and delivered by Emirates Developments, the project reflects a long-term, developer-led vision aligned with Abu Dhabi’s ambition to be a global hub for culture, innovation and quality of life. From site selection to architectural design and lifestyle programming, every element has been curated to ensure enduring residential value. Partnering with Jumeirah brings the brand’s renowned hospitality, service excellence, and international reputation to a purpose-built residential context in the capital.
Architecturally, Jumeirah Residences Al Maryah Island is designed by Killa Design, led by acclaimed architect Shaun Killa. Rising from the waterfront as an amber-hued sculptural tower, the building features flowing curves, bold vertical lines and a dynamic façade that shifts with the light. Floating terraces, sky gardens and an elevated pool redefine vertical waterfront living, adding a striking new icon to Abu Dhabi’s skyline.
Scheduled to open in 2031, the residences will offer expansive private terraces, light-filled interiors and premium natural finishes. Residents will benefit from Jumeirah’s signature services, including concierge support, personalised wellness experiences and private dining, seamlessly extending luxury hospitality into everyday life.
