International Holding Company-backed developer founded 2025 — branded hotel residences across Abu Dhabi and Dubai
Brief us on Royal Development Company →Royal Development Company is a UAE-based real estate developer founded in 2025, operating as part of Emirates Stallions Group, which in turn belongs to the International Holding Company. The parent group describes operations in more than 20 countries across the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
The seven tracked projects are split between Abu Dhabi and Dubai. On Reem Island in Abu Dhabi, the portfolio includes Rotana Residences South Tower (targeting 2028), Seamont Autograph Collection Residences 1 (targeting 2028), and the newly launched Radisson Residences Tower 3 (targeting 2027). On Yas Island, Stellar by Elie Saab targets 2028. In Dubai, Jumeirah Residence on Al Maryah Island carries a 2030 target, and Dubai Hills is also listed as a portfolio address.
Multiple branded partnerships — Rotana, Autograph Collection (Marriott), Radisson, and Elie Saab — are a defining feature of the Royal Development portfolio. Each brand brings a distinct management and service-charge structure.
Royal Development Company was founded in 2025, making it among the most recently established developers in this batch. The group's backing through Emirates Stallions Group and International Holding Company provides institutional depth, but the developer's own execution history is minimal. Buyers should scrutinise project-level escrow compliance and construction progress carefully.
