Who ABA Group is, in 30 seconds.
ABA Group is a Dubai-based construction and development company led by Ahmed Butti Almuhairi and Saeed Ahmed Butti Ahmed Almuhairi. The founders are recognised figures in the UAE real estate industry, and their company's work spans residential, commercial, and industrial segments — from marina-front residences to logistics facilities across the emirate.
The group's residential portfolio carries notable brand associations. Its current off-plan offering on the Dubai market is the Kempinski Dubai Marina Residences, a branded project in Dubai Marina scheduled for handover in 2029.
ABA Group's commercial and industrial track record includes ABA Avenue, warehouses in Al Quoz, and complexes across Al Qusais, Ras Al Khor, Umm Ramool, and Sharjah, demonstrating a broad operational footprint beyond purely residential development.
For buyers evaluating the Kempinski Dubai Marina Residences, the Kempinski hotel management association adds a hospitality-grade service layer to the residential proposition. Our team recommends verifying current construction progress and payment plan terms directly before committing.
