UAE: Master-planned development Dubai South has signed an agreement with Cheval Collection to launch a serviced apartment and branded residence project.
Scheduled to open in 2030, the project will comprise 98 serviced hotel apartments, ranging from studios to three-bedroom units, and 95 one-to-three-bedroom branded residences.
Furnished apartments and residences will come with fully equipped kitchens and private balconies. Amenities at the pet-friendly property will include a swimming pool, gym, residents’ lounge and dining venues.
The project will be located at South Bay, a waterfront community in Dubai South’s Residential District, which features a kilometre-long lagoon and connection to the South Bay Mall.
Nabil Al Kindi, group CEO of Dubai South, said: “Our agreement with Cheval Collection marks an important step in Dubai South’s expansion into hospitality developments, bringing a renowned, experienced international operator to our growing residential offering. As Dubai South continues to develop, hospitality will play an increasingly important role in serving the growing needs of the vibrant businesses ecosystem and visitors to the community. Cheval South Bay will support this growth while strengthening Dubai South’s appeal as an integrated master development.”
Mohammed Alawadhi, CEO, Cheval Collection, said: “Cheval Collection is firmly established as a global leader in luxury accommodation, including serviced hotel apartments and now branded residences, too. The Middle East is pivotal to our expansion, and the addition of Cheval South Bay in Dubai marks a major milestone in our continued growth in the region. This stunning new complex bears all the hallmarks of any Cheval property: a convenient location, beautiful residences, great amenities and impeccable service, which all add up to unrivalled standards of living where residents have the luxury of time, space and attention – be they long term guests, short-stayers or owners of their own Cheval branded home.”
