What LIV Developers does

LIV Developers is a Dubai-based private real estate developer founded in 2015 that builds and sells ultra-luxury boutique waterfront residential properties in Dubai's prime coastal micro-markets — Dubai Marina, Dubai Maritime City, and Dubai Islands. The company's portfolio spans six projects: two completed towers (LIV Residence, a G+27 boutique building; and LIV Marina, a G+44 flagship completed ahead of schedule in May 2025); LIV LUX, a G+47 ultra-luxury tower topping out at 50 floors in July 2025 with a flagship AED 75 million (USD 20.4 million) SuperLux penthouse; LIV Maritime, a 242-unit Dubai Maritime City development that sold out in a single quarter; LIV Waterside, a gated community of signature villas and duplex penthouses; and LIV Oceanside, a 110+ home wellness-focused tower launched in December 2025 on Dubai Islands with November 2027 target completion. Unit pricing ranges from approximately AED 4 million for a two-bedroom residence to AED 75 million for flagship penthouses, with the AED 3.8 billion total pipeline including AED 2.3 billion of homes scheduled for handover over the next 12 months.

The product is differentiated at the design and finishes layer — architecture by Atkins (Burj Al Arab, Dubai Opera) for LIV LUX, interiors by MWM Studios (5-star hospitality pedigree) for LIV Residence, premium European specifications (Miele, Gaggenau, Villeroy & Boch, Axor, Bang & Olufsen, Grohe), 3-meter floor-to-ceiling glass corners, and select-unit smart home controls — paired with a 'LIV Lifestyle' amenity and programming concept integrating wellness spaces, curated fitness, and chef-hosted dining. Construction is executed by CRCC (China Railway Construction Corporation), the world's third-largest contractor, which delivered nine floors in a single month at LIV Marina.

Commercially, LIV Developers operates a direct-sales model with no third-party brokers, selling off-plan through a single Dubai Marina sales office (Suite 905, Marina Plaza) to ultra-high-net-worth individuals and international real estate investors, with European buyers described as the strongest demand pool and growing interest from North and South America. Revenue is recognized at handover under a one-time license model with delivery typically 2-3 years after purchase; furniture packages and fit-out services provide an ancillary professional-services revenue stream. The company is led by Director Ishan Khwaja, has 11-50 employees, and has announced expansion plans into Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah. No institutional capital, parent company, or external ownership is disclosed.
