Dubai's AI-first developer.
The newest name on our roster — built around a single bet: that AI-integrated living, not square footage alone, is what the next decade of buyers will actually value.
AI-integrated living as the core product
The newest name on our roster, One Development is a boutique developer built around a single bet: that AI-integrated living — not square footage alone — is what the next decade of buyers will actually value.
Its flagship, Laguna Residence in City of Arabia, carries an estimated AED 2.3 billion development value, and its expansion into Abu Dhabi's Al Reem Island includes a rooftop built for electric vertical take-off aircraft (eVTOL) — a first for a residential tower in the region.
It's a genuinely young company, and we treat it as one: worth watching closely as a developer pushing into new territory, rather than a long track record to lean on.
One Development doesn't have the decades-long delivery record of names like Emaar or Nakheel. We recommend it to buyers who understand and accept that risk profile in exchange for early access to a differentiated, technology-led product.
Four reasons this name is on our radar
A clear, differentiated thesis — AI-integrated living as the core product, not a marketing add-on.
Laguna Residence, its flagship in City of Arabia, carries an estimated AED 2.3 billion development value.
Al Reem Island expansion includes the region's first eVTOL-ready residential rooftop.
Still an early-stage developer — we recommend it with that context clearly attached, not as a long-track-record name.
Technology-forward towers, not masterplans
Its focus is AI-integrated residential towers built around smart building systems and next-generation infrastructure like eVTOL access, targeting buyers specifically drawn to technology-forward living rather than a traditional masterplan community.
