AVENEW Development

What AVENEW Development does

AVENEW Development is a Dubai-based boutique off-plan residential property developer founded in 2024 by Rasha Hassan. The company designs, develops, and sells residential projects across Dubai's emerging growth corridors — primarily Dubai Islands, Dubai South, and Motor City — targeting both end-user luxury buyers and international investors seeking UAE freehold property, including through Golden Visa-eligible purchases above AED 2M. Its portfolio spans 677+ confirmed residential units across six projects (Rena, Silena, Lia, Shoaq, and Cheval Residences on Dubai Islands; AVENEW 888 MODO in Dubai South), plus a commercial joint venture (One District) in Motor City. The unit mix ranges from 1-bedroom apartments to townhouses, duplexes, and penthouses, with starting prices from AED 800K to over AED 2.5M. Revenue is generated through direct off-plan unit sales on staged payment plans — typically 10% at booking, 40% during construction, and 50% on handover — backed by RERA approvals and escrow-protected buyer payments, with revenue recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis.

The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer: AVENEW sells exclusively through its website (avenewdevelopment.ae), 800-AVENEW hotline, dedicated property consultants, and international roadshows in Beijing, London, and Moscow, without intermediary agents. The company has layered a branded residences strategy atop its core residential portfolio through partnerships with Marriott International (St. Regis Dubai Islands), Hilton (Waldorf Astoria Dubai Islands — 150 hotel rooms plus 120 branded residences), and Cheval Collection (99 serviced residences with Wadeen Developers), enabling entry into the luxury serviced-living segment at premium price points. Leadership includes former Emaar Properties CEO Issam Galadari as Managing Partner alongside founder Rasha Hassan, lending institutional credibility.

Strategically, AVENEW has executed three major expansions within roughly six months: commercial real estate (Motor City JV with Kora Properties/APPCORP Holding), branded residences (Marriott, Hilton, Cheval), and Dubai South mass-market positioning (AVENEW 888 MODO at AED 1.3B GDV). Construction is contracted to Al Tamayoz Contracting (Rena) and Al Masaood National General Contracting (AVENEW 888). Recognition includes Top 100 Real Estate Developers of 2025 and Top 100 Luxury Residences 2025 (Rena) from Luxury Lifestyle Awards. No external equity funding, PE/VC backing, or parent company is disclosed; the company operates as an independent, founder-led LLC (AVENEW Real Estate Development LLC) with headcount reported at 1001-5000 (likely inclusive of project and contractor workforces).
