AVENEW Development with Hilton — Dubai, UAE
120 branded furnished apartments above a 150-key Waldorf Astoria hotel on Dubai Islands. Prices, floor plans and the payment plan have not been released — registered buyers receive them first.
The Project
Waldorf Astoria Residences Dubai Islands is a collection of 120 branded, fully furnished apartments forming part of a mixed-use Waldorf Astoria development on Dubai Islands, Dubai. The same scheme includes a 150-key Waldorf Astoria hotel. It is developed by AVENEW Development in partnership with Hilton, which owns the Waldorf Astoria brand, and was announced in January 2026. Owners receive personalised residential services and full access to the hotel's facilities.
The partnership marked AVENEW's first move into luxury hospitality and branded residences, and the arrival of one of the world's most recognised luxury hotel names on the archipelago. It is the developer's second branded residence on Dubai Islands and its sixth development within the community.
The design language is modern coastal — ocean movement and island sand read through the massing, the balconies and the material palette of creams, bronzes and soft blues. Every home faces water.
This collaboration is a direct response to the structural shift in global wealth and the sophisticated demands of the modern buyer.
Rasha Hassan — Managing Partner, AVENEW Development
Since 1893
A name made in New York, kept in forty cities. The Waldorf opened on Fifth Avenue in 1893 and, joined by the Astoria, became the hotel every other hotel measured itself against. More than a century later the brand runs around forty properties worldwide, and the rituals invented in that first building — Peacock Alley, True Waldorf Service — still define what the name promises. That promise is what a branded residence actually buys.
Personal concierge attention, extended from the hotel to the residences — anticipating rather than responding.
The brand's signature lounge, carried from the original Fifth Avenue promenade into every Waldorf Astoria since.
One hundred and twenty homes in total. A deliberately small population for a site and a brand of this weight.
Operated under Hilton — 28 brands, 9,400-plus properties, 144 countries — with the standards that come attached.
The Collection
One hundred and twenty branded homes, handed over fully furnished. Floor-to-ceiling glass, deep sea-facing terraces, open-plan living and kitchens, principal suites with en-suite bathrooms and walk-in dressing. Finishes run to a coastal palette of creams, bronzes and soft blues. Floor plates, sizes and pricing are released to registered buyers first.
Living, dining and kitchen read as one volume, opening through full-height glass onto a sea-facing terrace. Furnished and styled to the Waldorf Astoria specification before you receive the keys.
Register InterestGenerous principal bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and walk-in dressing, set away from the entertaining side of the plan. Textured wall panelling, bronze detailing, water on waking.
Register InterestStone-clad islands, integrated appliances and concealed storage, specified as part of the furnished handover. The upper-floor homes are configured individually and released privately.
Register InterestPrices & Payment
Starting prices, unit sizes, the payment plan and the handover date for Waldorf Astoria Residences Dubai Islands have not been publicly released. AVENEW Development issues them to registered buyers first, through its own channels and authorised sales representatives. Everything below states what is confirmed and what is not — we publish no estimated figures in place of official ones.
Not yet released
No official price list has been issued. Any AED figure currently circulating for this project is an estimate produced by a third party, not a developer price. The list is released to registered buyers before general marketing.
Not yet released
The construction-linked payment schedule, the booking deposit and any post-handover component are all unconfirmed. Dubai off-plan purchases are made through a RERA-registered escrow account for the project — confirm the escrow details before transferring any funds.
Not yet released
The residences are confirmed at 120 units delivered fully furnished, but the bedroom mix, individual layouts and built-up areas have not been published. Floor plates are issued with the price list.
Not yet released
No completion date has been announced for either the residences or the 150-key hotel. The partnership itself was announced in January 2026.
Register once and you receive the price list, floor plans, payment plan and brochure on the day they are issued — not a follow-up call asking what your budget is.

The hotel is downstairs, and it is yours. Residents have full access to the hotel's facilities alongside services reserved for owners — a spa, a fitness studio, an outdoor pool with its own lounge, a kids' pool and club, and four dining venues including a rooftop restaurant, a signature bar and Peacock Alley. Every facility below is drawn from the developer's own announcement, not estimated.
Gallery
Indicative interiors and exteriors released ahead of the official launch. Final specification, layouts and finishes are confirmed by the developer at the point of sale.
Location
Waldorf Astoria Residences Dubai Islands is located on Dubai Islands, the master-planned archipelago off the Deira coast of Dubai, roughly 15 minutes by car from Dubai International Airport. The masterplan covers five islands with more than 20 km of beachfront, over 80 hotels and resorts, marinas and golf, delivered under the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. It is new coastline that happens to sit next to the oldest part of the city, rather than an hour beyond it.
Drive times are indicative and vary with traffic.
The Case
Nothing here is a guarantee — off-plan property carries risk and returns are not assured. These are simply the reasons this particular address is drawing attention before a price list exists.
The first Waldorf Astoria branded residence on Dubai Islands, at a total count small enough that first release and resale stock are genuinely limited.
Delivered furnished with hotel facilities and residential services attached — the shortest path from handover to occupation or to letting.
Branded residences in Dubai have consistently transacted above comparable unbranded stock nearby. Past pricing is not a promise of future pricing.
Dubai Islands is a designated freehold area, with title registered at the Dubai Land Department. Confirm tenure on your own sales documents.

AVENEW Development, a Dubai-based developer, in partnership with Hilton, which owns the Waldorf Astoria brand. The partnership was announced in January 2026. It is AVENEW's second branded residence on Dubai Islands and its sixth development within the community.
There are 120 residences, described by the developer as premium furnished apartments. The adjoining hotel has 150 guest rooms and suites.
On Dubai Islands, the master-planned archipelago off the Deira coast of Dubai, UAE. The masterplan spans five islands with more than 20 km of beachfront and over 80 planned hotels and resorts, delivered under the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. Dubai International Airport is roughly 15 minutes away by car.
Starting prices, unit sizes, the payment plan and the handover date have not been publicly released. They are issued to registered buyers first, through the developer and its authorised sales representatives. Register above and you will receive them the day they are published — we do not publish estimates in their place.
The announcement confirms a rooftop restaurant, an all-day dining venue, a specialty restaurant, a signature bar, Peacock Alley, an outdoor pool with a pool lounge, a kids' pool and kids' club, a fitness studio and a spa. Residential facilities and services sit alongside these.
Dubai Islands is a designated freehold area, so eligible UAE and international buyers can own with full ownership rights, subject to Dubai property law and the developer's terms. A qualifying purchase may also support a UAE residence visa application — check the current thresholds with a licensed advisor, as they change.
Dubai International Airport is roughly 15 minutes by car, Deira around 10, Downtown Dubai and the Burj Khalifa around 20, Palm Jumeirah around 20 and Dubai Marina around 25. Times are indicative and vary with traffic.
No completion or handover date has been announced for either the 120 residences or the 150-key hotel. The AVENEW and Hilton partnership itself was announced in January 2026. Treat any specific handover year you see quoted elsewhere as an estimate rather than a developer commitment.
Floor plans, unit sizes and the project brochure are released alongside the price list and go to registered buyers first. The bedroom mix has not been published — the confirmed figure is 120 residences delivered fully furnished. Register and you will receive the full set on the day it is issued.
Service charges have not been published. Branded residences generally carry higher annual service charges than unbranded stock, because the fee covers hotel-operated services and facilities. Ask for the projected figure in writing before you reserve, and check it against the Dubai Land Department's published service charge index for the community.
No rental programme, rental guarantee or projected yield has been announced for this project. Branded residences in Dubai have historically transacted and let at a premium to comparable unbranded stock nearby, but past performance is not a forecast and nothing on this page is investment advice. Any yield figure quoted to you at this stage is an estimate.
Reservation cannot open until the developer issues prices and the payment plan. When it does, the usual Dubai off-plan sequence applies: unit selection, a reservation form, a booking deposit paid into the project's RERA-registered escrow account, then the sales and purchase agreement and Oqood registration with the Dubai Land Department. Confirm the escrow account details directly before transferring funds.
