Leading UAE developer Omniyat has broken ground on its premium project, Vela, Dorchester Collection, Dubai, following its successful launch in June this year.
A serene structure conceptualised by Foster + Partners, with the crafted interiors of Gilles & Boissier, Vela will rise to 150m tall, with over 270,000sq ft spread across 30 floors, housing 38 curated and fully-furnished residences, said a statement from Omniyat.
Reflecting its waterfront location, the structure will feature Omniyat’s signature curves, wraparound terrace pools, and glass façades for seamless indoor-outdoor living.
This announcement complements the luxury developer’s acquisition of Marasi Bay Marina in the Burj Khalifa District in September this year and demonstrates Omniyat’s dedication to delivering elevated living in a newly acquired and reimagined destination, said its top official.
“To be announcing that the groundwork for Vela is already underway, given we only launched it four months ago, is incredible. This moment also marks the beginning of Marasi Bay Marina’s transformation into an elevated destination that pushes the boundaries of conventional luxury,” said Founder & Executive Chairman of Omniyat Mahdi Amjad.
