Jubail Island

What Jubail Island does

Jubail Island is the operating brand of Jubail Island Investment Company (JIIC), a privately-held Abu Dhabi real estate developer executing an AED 15 billion (~USD 4.1 billion) master-planned luxury community across 4,000 hectares of mangrove forest and coastal estuary between Yas Island and Saadiyat Island. The project is developed and managed by LEAD Development and is solely financed by Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB) from inception through completion. The build comprises six bespoke village communities (Marfaa Al Jubail, Nad Al Dhabi, Souk Al Jubail, Ain Al Maha, Seef Al Jubail, and Bada Al Jubail) delivering roughly 854 villas, 303 townhouses, 465 apartments, 164 land plots, and ultra-luxury mansion typologies, targeting more than 10,000 residents at completion in 2027.

The core product stack spans luxury residential real estate (one-time sales of villas, townhouses, apartments, and mansions), the Jubail Mangrove Park (Abu Dhabi's first self-contained educational, nature, and leisure destination with boardwalk, kayaking, electric dragon boat, yoga, and scenic EV tours priced AED 10-175), Marsa Al Jubail marina (premium berths for vessels 6-45 meters plus yacht club and concierge), ADREA equestrian arts (cultural destination), schools (Gordonstoun School and Redwood Center of Excellence), and retail/F&B leasing at Souk Al Jubail anchored by Spinneys. Underlying technology includes a proprietary iOS/Android mobile app, interactive digital mapping, virtual 360-degree property tours, an online activity booking platform, and UAE Pass-based single sign-on.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid mix: one-time luxury property sales (primary), recurring retail and commercial leasing at Souk Al Jubail, subscription-based marina berths and yacht services, and per-visitor transaction fees from Mangrove Park activities. Customer segments are high-net-worth individuals and families (primary, residential buyers), nature and wellness enthusiasts (park visitors), families with children (driven by school anchors), yacht owners (marina), and corporate/MICE clients (events including COP 28-adjacent programming). Distribution is sales-led for property and marina, self-serve online for park activities, and physical storefront for retail leasing.
