Al Dhana Real Estate Development

Al Dhana Real Estate Development is the property arm of a UAE group that has worked in infrastructure since 1998, founded and chaired by Abdulla Alafari and led by chief executive Ahmed Al Mansouri. The group makes its own building materials through Al Dhana Industries — UPVC piping and steel structures — and carries that into construction, so the same company is behind the material and the build. Its first registered development is Celestara Residences, a 20-storey tower of studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments in Jumeirah Village Circle.

THE TRACK RECORD

Al Dhana Real Estate Development's record.

A construction group that moved into development. The wider Al Dhana business started in 1998 in infrastructure and water systems, expanded into construction in 2001, and added Al Dhana Industries in 2008 to manufacture UPVC piping and steel structures. The residential arm is new, so its record is in the group's earlier work rather than in delivered apartments — but it means the developer controls the supply chain behind its own buildings, which is unusual at this size.

Delivery record

Celestara Residences is the company's first registered development and has not been delivered yet. Construction began in May 2025 and the Dubai Land Department records the project as number 3572, with 121 units across 20 floors and a completion date of 19 May 2028. Buyer funds are held in an escrow account at Al Maryah Community Bank. The most recent RERA site inspection, in March 2026, put construction at 3.14% complete. A second development, Azure Bay Residences, has been announced but is not yet on the DLD register.

GOOD TO KNOW

Common questions about Al Dhana Real Estate Development.

Who is Al Dhana Real Estate Development?+

A Dubai developer registered with the Dubai Land Department as Aldhana Real Estate Development L.L.C (register no. 2014). It is the property arm of a UAE group that has worked in infrastructure since 1998, founded and chaired by Abdulla Alafari, with Ahmed Al Mansouri as chief executive.

What has Al Dhana built so far?+

One registered project, still under construction. Celestara Residences in Jumeirah Village Circle broke ground in May 2025 and the Dubai Land Department gives it a completion date of May 2028. There is no finished building to visit yet, so the DLD registration and the escrow account are what a buyer can check.

Where does Al Dhana build?+

In Dubai. Celestara Residences sits in Jumeirah Village Circle, which the DLD records under its cadastral name Al Barsha South Fourth.

What makes Al Dhana different?+

It manufactures what it builds with. Al Dhana Industries, the group's factory arm since 2008, produces UPVC piping and steel structures, so the developer owns the supply chain behind its own towers rather than buying it in.
