Developer Verified by Inside Realty
The story of Ohana Development is not just a chronology of projects or a list of accomplishments. It is a journey that began in Beirut in the 1990s, with a dream to create more than just real estate. Over the years, its ambitions have grown bigger and its horizons broader. The headquarters are now in the UAE, but the philosophy remains the same: to build not square meters, but living spaces — aesthetic and functional, in which the architects put a part of their soul.
Today the name Ohana is known far beyond the Emirates. The company implements projects throughout the Middle East and North Africa. And each of them is the result of careful and well-coordinated work of a team of professionals. The company's portfolio includes residential and commercial buildings, luxury hotels and branded residences. But regardless of the format, what all projects have in common is the highest quality, attention to every detail and a commitment to impeccable style.
One of the secrets of Ohana's success lies in the ability to feel a place. The developer chooses only those locations for its projects, where the architecture can unfold in its entirety. Prestigious areas, coastal zones, developing neighborhoods with great growth potential — all this becomes the backdrop for bright, conceptual solutions. This approach keeps Ohana real estate relevant and attractive to investors.
A true symbol of the company's philosophy is its partnership with Elie Saab. Their joint project — Elie Saab Waterfront on Reem Island in Abu Dhabi — is a symphony of lines, light and space. The architecture of the complex mesmerizes with softness of forms, as if inspired by the movement of water. The interiors, designed in the spirit of Elie Saab, are characterized by refinement, nobility and a finely calibrated sense of restrained luxury. The culmination of the project is a two-level penthouse with its own swimming pool and panoramic views of the waterfront. Everything here — from the private beach to green shady alleys and cozy lounges — is designed so that every moment was filled with comfort and aesthetics.
Another striking example is the project Jacob & Co. Beachfront Living, created in partnership with the legendary jewelry house Jacob & Co. Located in the AlJurf district between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, this complex has become the embodiment of the elevated living philosophy. It is not just a house by the sea, but a space in which every detail — from architecture to infrastructure — emphasizes the idea of life as art. Nothing here is accidental: materials, lines, color, light — everything is checked to the smallest touch. This project is not just an eye-catcher — it sets the tone, aspiring to become a new icon in the world of modern premium real estate.
At the heart of every Ohana endeavor is the idea of balance. Beauty and practicality, style and comfort, interior and exterior — everything must harmonize. This is why the company pays so much attention to the layouts: they are not just convenient, they are intuitive. Spacious living rooms, isolated recreation areas, thoughtful navigation through the house — all this creates a feeling of freedom and coziness. And the choice of materials confirms the high standard: natural stone, precious woods, premium sanitary ware, design elements — every touch speaks for itself.
This consistency, faithfulness to style and attention to detail does not go unnoticed. Investors view Ohana projects as stable assets with high growth potential. Buyers appreciate them for their humanity — for the atmosphere that makes you want to come back again and again. After all, the feeling of “home” is not the meterage or the view from the window. It is silence, in which you can hear yourself, it is a space where you want to stay.
The hotel business is a separate, but no less significant chapter in the history of the company. Each hotel under the Ohana brand is a well-thought-out world where aesthetics and service work in tandem. Here a journey becomes an experience and an experience becomes a memory. Such projects not only beautify the tourism map, but also give a boost to the economy by creating jobs and supporting local businesses. And even in the busiest resort areas Ohana manages to maintain its uniqueness — a corporate style that combines elegance, restraint and warm humanity.
Special attention is paid to people. Ohana believes that quality real estate is born in a dialog with future residents. Therefore, buyers are involved in the process at every stage — from design to handing over the keys. This approach builds trust and strong bonds: many customers return to buy their next home — again with Ohana.
The company's growth is based on the same values that started it all: the pursuit of excellence, openness to innovation and respect for people. In its projects, the developer actively uses modern technologies, sustainable solutions and adapts to the demands of the time. In residential neighborhoods, green areas, places for recreation and walks, water views are created so that urban life organically blends with natural harmony.
Today, Ohana Development continues to grow, strengthening its presence in the Middle East and North Africa markets. Its projects are becoming symbols of style, quality and thoughtful living. Partnerships with Elie Saab and Jacob & Co. — are not just collaborations, but a reflection of the brand's status, which is confidently playing in the top league of luxury real estate. The story of Ohana Development is a journey of transformation: from a local developer to an international company with ambition, vision and a cause that is backed by inspiration and a true passion for the architecture of the future.
