Al Ghurair Development, the evolution of Al Ghurair’s real estate arm, has unveiled The Weave in Jumeirah Village Circle, marking the debut of its premium freehold residential portfolio. Designed in collaboration with award-winning Australian architect Joe Adsett—his first project in the Middle East—the launch highlights Al Ghurair’s continued contribution to Dubai’s urban landscape and reinforces its reputation as one of the region’s most trusted developers.
Guided by the group’s purpose, ‘In pursuit of better’, Al Ghurair Development was established to create residential ecosystems that blend functionality, quality, and design. Representing the next generation of real estate development for the family, the division merges innovation with an in-depth understanding of Dubai’s modern lifestyle. The Weave is the first project to bring this vision to life, balancing distinctive architecture with practicality. The strong market response—its first phase already sold out—reflects growing demand for homes that combine thoughtful design with lasting value.
Sultan Al Ghurair, CEO of Al Ghurair Development, said: “Al Ghurair Development marks a new phase in our family’s history and builds on decades of experience while reflecting how Dubai continues to evolve. Over the years, we have delivered large-scale residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects that have contributed significantly to the city’s growth. Our experience spans the development and management of over 20,000 units, as well as nearly 1,000 hotel and serviced units, and these learnings continue to guide how we plan and build today for tomorrow. The Weave is the first development under our premium division, reflecting that direction. Every decision, from collaborating with an international architect and integrating the practicalities of the living space with aesthetic design, has been guided by our purpose and planned for long-term value. The response to its launch has been exceptional, with the first release sold out and positive feedback from buyers on the layouts and overall product. It reinforces our belief in the demand for homes that combine careful planning with lasting quality.”
The Weave is the first in a strong pipeline of residential developments from Al Ghurair Development, with the next project planned near Al Barari and The Wilds, and a fourth development expected to launch in 2026. The company is also advancing large-scale masterplans that integrate residential, commercial, and leisure spaces—underscoring its long-term commitment to creating well-designed, enduring communities across Dubai.
Since its founding in 1960, Al Ghurair has played a defining role in shaping the UAE’s development—from pioneering the nation’s first shopping mall and mixed-use complex to contributing to infrastructure projects such as the Dubai Metro and the façade glazing of the Burj Khalifa. With a portfolio spanning food, mobility, infrastructure, and property management, this six-decade legacy continues to shape Al Ghurair Development’s approach to sustainable urban design. Recently, its super-prime residential brand, Al Ghurair Collection, launched Wedyan in Dubai, marking its entry into the city’s luxury housing segment.
John Iossifidis, group CEO of Al Ghurair, said: “The launch of Al Ghurair Development and The Weave is a natural progression in our company’s growth. It builds on our long-standing role in delivering projects that support Dubai’s economic and social development. Through this division, we are extending our experience in real estate to communities by offering reliability, longevity and value. Our focus remains on contributing meaningfully to the city’s evolution while upholding the principles of trust, quality and integrity that define the Al Ghurair name.”
The Weave: Design inspired by tradition
The Weave draws inspiration from safafa, the traditional weaving of palm fronds, reinterpreted in a modern architectural language that brings texture and movement to the façade. Sculptural balconies and angled lines animate the exterior, creating distinct perspectives for each residence while maintaining architectural harmony.
Joe Adsett, director and architect at Joe Adsett Architects, said: “The Weave was inspired by the ancient artistry of Middle Eastern weaving, a craft that speaks of connection, continuity, and culture. Our vision was to translate that tradition into architecture, creating a dialogue between heritage and modernity. Every curve and pattern in the building reflects the movement and rhythm of woven fabric, while the spaces within are shaped by light, texture, and balance. We believe that residents will feel the strongest connection to this interplay of light and form as well as the rooftop club that is another emotional anchor within The Weave.”
Inside, the apartments—ranging from one to three bedrooms (700–1,800 sq ft)—are designed with open layouts, flowing living spaces, and a refined, neutral aesthetic. Each residence balances form and function, with natural light, tactile finishes, and durable materials offering timeless comfort.
Residents will have access to a private rooftop club featuring wellness, leisure, and social amenities, including a pool, jacuzzis, ice bath, yoga and fitness studios, sauna and steam room, private cinema, dining areas, and a social lounge. Every space has been designed to foster well-being and connection, transforming daily routines into moments of renewal.
Centrally located in Jumeirah Village Circle, The Weave places residents within easy reach of Circle Mall, Dubai Hills Mall, Dubai Autodrome, and both international airports, while offering direct access to key business hubs such as Dubai Media City and Dubai Internet City.
Al Ghurair Development’s new sales centre at Mashreq HQ Tower in Downtown Dubai is now open for clients and partners to explore The Weave, which is expected to be completed in 2028.
