What Omniyat does
Omniyat is a Dubai-based ultra-luxury real estate developer founded in 2005 by Mahdi Amjad, operating a portfolio of 18 projects across three master-planned destinations — Palm Jumeirah, Marasi Bay (Burj Khalifa District), and Business Bay. The company develops and sells branded residences, ultra-luxury commercial towers, and mixed-use destinations, with named assets including The Opus, The Lana, ENARA, LUMENA, The Alba, ORLA, Vela, Vela Viento, AVA, and One at Palm Jumeirah. Its product is differentiated by exclusive partnerships with global architectural firms (Zaha Hadid Architects, Foster + Partners, Gensler, GAD, Gilles & Boissier) and a strategic hospitality alliance with Dorchester Collection, which manages hotel services across multiple branded-residence projects.
The underlying technical proposition centers on sustainable, wellness-oriented, and digitally enabled buildings. ENARA achieved the UAE's first triple-Platinum certification (LEED Platinum, WELL Platinum, WiredScore Platinum, SmartScore Platinum), with LUMENA targeting Al Sa'fat Platinum, BREEAM Outstanding, and parallel Platinum pre-certifications. Smart-building infrastructure includes robotic cleaning, voice-command workspaces, biometric security, and integrated connectivity (WiredScore/SmartScore standards). Omniyat also operates Omniyat Atelier, a bespoke design service for individualized client commissions.
The business model is one-time luxury property sales to ultra-high-net-worth individuals and corporate buyers, supplemented by hospitality revenue through Dorchester Collection-managed hotel operations and recurring-style capital markets activity via sukuk financing. FY2025 revenue reached AED 4.1 billion (~USD 1.12 billion) on total group sales of AED 20 billion (USD 5.4 billion) and net profit of AED 1.17 billion — a 150% year-over-year revenue surge. Distribution is direct-to-buyer via project sales galleries (One at Palm Jumeirah, The Alba, The Opus, Marasi Bay), website inquiries, and international luxury showcases such as the Monaco Yacht Show. The company has raised USD 1.5 billion through three sukuk issuances since May 2025 to fund its USD 11.7 billion development pipeline, supported by 12 million sq ft of land bank and a revenue backlog representing over five years of forward revenue visibility.
