Branded Hilton residences across Dubai and Abu Dhabi
Brief us on Emirates Developments →About
Who Emirates Developments is, in 30 seconds.
Emirates Developments is a developer with projects across two emirates — Dubai and Abu Dhabi. On our platform, the company has two branded-residence listings under the Hilton hospitality banner, both targeting buyers who value the operational infrastructure and brand recognition that a hotel partnership brings to a residential investment.
In Dubai, Hilton Residences Dubai JLT is located in Jumeirah Lake Towers, with a 2027 handover. In Abu Dhabi, Hilton Residences Abu Dhabi Al Raha is situated in Al Rahah, with a 2028 handover. The two projects together represent a cross-emirate branded-residence strategy.
Buyers considering either project should factor in the management structure of branded residences and the typical rental yield dynamics that accompany hotel-linked developments. The JLT location in Dubai offers access to the established business and retail infrastructure of that district; Al Rahah in Abu Dhabi sits in a waterfront zone near Abu Dhabi International Airport.
