Al Ghurair Development has launched its freehold residential portfolio with The Weave in Jumeirah Village Circle, marking the evolution of Al Ghurair’s real estate division.
The development was designed in collaboration with Australian architect Joe Adsett on his first project in the Middle East. The first phase has sold out following its launch.
Al Ghurair Development was established to create residential ecosystems that combine functionality, quality and design. The division represents the next generation of real estate development for the family, combining innovation with understanding of Dubai‘s lifestyle.

“Al Ghurair Development marks a new phase in our family’s history and builds on decades of experience while reflecting how Dubai continues to evolve. Over the years, we have delivered large-scale residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects that have contributed significantly to the city’s growth. Our experience spans the development and management of over 20,000 units, as well as nearly 1,000 hotel and serviced units, and these learnings continue to guide how we plan and build today for tomorrow,” Sultan Al Ghurair, CEO of Al Ghurair Development said in a statement.
The company’s experience spans the development and management of over 20,000 units, as well as nearly 1,000 hotel and serviced units.
“The Weave is the first development under our premium division, reflecting that direction. Every decision, from collaborating with an international architect and integrating the practicalities of the living space with aesthetic design, has been guided by our purpose and planned for long-term value. The response to its launch has been exceptional, with the first release sold out and positive feedback from buyers on the layouts and overall product. It reinforces our belief in the demand for homes that combine careful planning with lasting quality,” he added.
Pipeline includes development near Al Barari
The Weave represents the beginning of a residential pipeline under Al Ghurair Development. The next project is planned near Al Barari and The Wilds, with a fourth development scheduled for launch in 2026. The company is advancing masterplans designed as integrated developments.
Since its founding in 1960, Al Ghurair has contributed to the UAE’s development. The company pioneered the nation’s first shopping mall and mixed-use concept, private bank, and insurance company.
It has contributed to infrastructure projects including the Dubai Metro and architectural projects including the façade glazing of the Burj Khalifa.
The company has built operations across sectors including Food, Mobility, Infrastructure, and Property Management. Al Ghurair Collection, the division’s super-prime residential brand, launched Wedyan in Dubai, marking the company’s entry into the city’s residential segment.
Focus on reliability and value
“The launch of Al Ghurair Development and The Weave is a natural progression in our company’s growth. It builds on our long-standing role in delivering projects that support Dubai’s economic and social development. Through this division, we are extending our experience in real estate to communities by offering reliability, longevity and value. Our focus remains on contributing meaningfully to the city’s evolution while upholding the principles of trust, quality and integrity that define the Al Ghurair name,” John Iossifidis, Group CEO of Al Ghurair added.
The Weave combines architecture, living spaces and amenities within a community setting. The building’s façade draws inspiration from ‘safafa’, the weaving of palm fronds, reinterpreted in a form that adds movement and texture. Balconies and angled lines animate the exterior.
“The Weave was inspired by the ancient artistry of Middle Eastern weaving, a craft that speaks of connection, continuity, and culture. Our vision was to translate that tradition into architecture, creating a dialogue between heritage and modernity. Every curve and pattern in the building reflects the movement and rhythm of woven fabric, while the spaces within are shaped by light, texture, and balance. We believe that residents will feel the strongest connection to this interplay of light and form as well as the rooftop club that is another emotional anchor within The Weave,” Joe Adsett, Director and Architect at Joe Adsett Architects further explained.
“We’ve long admired the architectural ambition of the UAE, a place where innovation and tradition coexist in remarkable ways. Collaborating with Al Ghurair presented the perfect opportunity to contribute something meaningful to that narrative. For us, it represents a milestone – our first step into the Middle East, realised with a partner whose values align with our own pursuit of design excellence,” he added.
Residences are designed with proportions to create ease and balance. One-, two- and three-bedroom apartments range from approximately 700 to 1,800 square feet, with layouts that maximise space, light and circulation. Living areas flow into kitchens.
Bedrooms are designed as retreats, while bathrooms combine design with aesthetic. Palettes, finishes and materials ensure spaces that are refined.

Features include a cinema, barbecue and dining areas, and a lounge for entertainment or co-working.
The Weave places residents at the heart of Dubai’s offerings. With Circle Mall at its doorstep and in proximity to Dubai Hills Mall and Dubai Autodrome, as well as being situated between the city’s two airports, it balances neighbourhood life with connectivity to Dubai’s business areas, such as Dubai Media City and Dubai Internet City, as well as entertainment districts.
