The UAE developer behind Laguna Residence in Dubailand, DO Hotels & Residences on Dubai Islands and ONE Residence on Al Reem Island, part of ONE International Holding.
ONE Development is building three projects in the UAE, each with a single, clear idea. In Dubailand, Laguna Residence sets a crystal lagoon on the podium between two 45-storey towers. On Dubai Islands, DO Hotels & Residences, made with the singer Amr Diab, is a hotel by the beach whose residences you can own. On Al Reem Island in Abu Dhabi, ONE Residence is a 31-storey tower with a roof planned as a landing pad for electric air taxis.
ONE Development is the real estate arm of ONE International Holding, a family group founded by Alaa Al Din Al Gebely and Hala Salah El Din and now led by the second generation under Ali Al Gebely, its founder and chairman. Amr Kandeel is group chief executive of ONE Development. The company sells from showrooms on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai and at the St. Regis on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, and builds in New Cairo as well as the Emirates. Every project carries its resident app, which runs smart-home controls, amenity bookings, building services and concierge from one place.
ONE Development is a young developer: its first UAE homes are due to be handed over from the fourth quarter of 2027, so its record is one of launches and construction rather than completed buildings. That is the point to weigh. In Dubai, off-plan payments are made into a registered escrow account and released against construction progress, and we check each project's registration before you pay. The payment plans are generous, with 40 to 50% of the price due at handover, which limits what you pay before the building is finished.
Laguna Residence is the accessible one, with studios from AED 700,000 and a shared world of pools and lawns. DO Dubai Islands is for the sea and the service of a hotel, from AED 1,050,000. ONE Residence is for a family home in an established part of Abu Dhabi, with simplexes and duplexes up to four bedrooms. Tell us how you mean to use the home, and we will set the three side by side, with the full cost of each.
