Al Ghurair has introduced Al Ghurair Collection, the super-prime residential portfolio of Al Ghurair Development, the freehold real estate division of the company.
Created to represent the pinnacle of Al Ghurair’s six-decade legacy, the Collection makes its debut with Wedyan, a landmark waterfront residence along Dubai Canal. Designed by world-renowned architect Kengo Kuma, in his first project in the UAE, Wedyan delivers on Al Ghurair Collection’s commitment to originality and craftsmanship to create something never seen before in Dubai.
Al Ghurair Collection is positioned as the most exclusive expression of Al Ghurair Development, reserved for residences of rare character in sought-after locations. Anchored in Al Ghurair’s track record in contributing to the evolution of Dubai, the company has active interests in banking, development, foods and mobility. The Al Ghurair family established the region’s first shopping mall and mixed-use concept in 1981, the first private insurance company in 1975 and the first private bank in 1967. The company has also been involved in major infrastructure projects such as Dubai Metro and the façade glazing of Burj Khalifa. To date, Al Ghurair has built and managed more than 20,000 residential and commercial units in Dubai, alongside nearly 1,000 hotel rooms and serviced units.
The launch of Wedyan comes as demand for ultra-luxury property in Dubai reaches unprecedented levels. In the first half of 2025, the city recorded AED 431bn in transactions, a 25 per cent increase year-on-year, with sales of homes above AED 10M growing more than fourfold in recent years. This market evolution reflects the interest discerning families from around the world have in making Dubai their permanent home.
