Dubai South and UK-based Cheval Collection have signed an agreement to develop Cheval South Bay, a mixed-use hospitality project within the South Bay waterfront community at Dubai South’s Residential District. The property is scheduled to open in 2030.
The development will comprise 98 serviced hotel apartments, ranging from studios to three-bedroom configurations, alongside 95 branded residences spanning one to three bedrooms.
Units will be furnished with high-quality finishes, fully equipped kitchens and private balconies. Shared amenities will include a swimming pool, gym, residents’ lounge and dining outlets. The property is pet-friendly and will have direct access to the planned South Bay Mall.
The agreement was signed at Dubai South’s headquarters by Nabil Al Kindi, Group CEO of Dubai South, and Mohammed Alawadhi, CEO of Cheval Collection.
“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,” Nabil Al Kindi, Group CEO of Dubai South said in a statement.
“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,” Mohammed Alawadhi, CEO, Cheval Collection added.
Cheval South Bay will be the company’s fourth UAE property and sixth in the Middle East. With this addition, Cheval Collection says its regional portfolio exceeds 800 units. Buyers at the branded residences will have access to the Cheval DISCOVERY loyalty programme, run in partnership with the Global Hotel Alliance.
