Photos and renders of the building and grounds — not of this particular unit.
Layouts and the handover date come from the sales-launch announcement; the date of that announcement is shown next to the prices. It is what the developer claimed at launch, not a registry record — off-plan, phasing and dates get revised. I will send the current ones over WhatsApp.
A residential building in Palm Jumeirah. Developer — Omniyat Properties. Architect — Foster + Partners.
Specifications for Orla by Omniyat as published by the developer — the project is under construction, so there is no Land Department record yet. They describe the whole building, not the individual unit.
Orla by Omniyat is a residential building in Palm Jumeirah, currently under construction.
The developer is Omniyat Properties. The architecture is by Foster + Partners.
The building holds 91 apartments in total. Layouts, according to the sales-launch announcement — 2, 3 and 4 bedrooms.
There is not a single lot in this project in the database right now — it is refreshed every night, and listings here appear and go.
An Omniyat building managed by Dorchester Collection on Palm Jumeirah: 91 residences, each with its own layout, architecture by Foster + Partners. Entry price around $26,000 per square metre — and not a single registered resale by the end of 2024.
Orla is Omniyat's third project under the Dorchester Collection hospitality brand, after One at Palm Jumeirah and a building in Business Bay. It launched in early 2023, designed by Foster + Partners, a firm the developer has worked with before.
The building has 91 residences, and each one is billed as having a unique layout. For a building this size that's not just marketing language but a consequence of its shape: there are almost no repeating floors.
The list of resident amenities is long and tells its own story: bowling, a business centre, cabanas, kids' areas and a children's pool, a cigar room, a cinema, concierge and lounge areas, a fitness centre, an indoor pool, a library, an outdoor dining area, a pet grooming salon, picnic pavilions, a residents-only clubhouse, spa and sauna.
Launch prices here are noticeably higher than at the developer's already-delivered projects — around $26,000 per square metre.
That's the key fact for an investor, and it cuts both ways. On one hand, that price puts the building at the top of the Palm market and screens out casual buyers. On the other, all the future upside is already priced in by the seller, and a quick exit via assignment shouldn't be expected.
The evidence backs this up directly: by the end of 2024, the Land Department's registry showed not a single registered resale in the project. Not because the building is bad, but because at this price level the pool of buyers is very narrow and deals take months.
On the Palm, the spread in outcomes between outwardly similar projects is huge, and it's explained not by brand but by entry price. Buildings where investors entered around $13,000 per square metre showed growth by handover; buildings priced twice as high show zero resales.
The practical rule that follows: before a deal, look not at the project's marketing but at three numbers from the registry — how many resales are registered, how many listings are live at once, and the price per square metre relative to comparable buildings of the same class nearby.
Orla is for a buyer with a long horizon, buying to hold or to pass on to family. It doesn't work as a speculative position, and the data has already shown that.
The building's makeup, number of residences, architect, list of resident amenities, benchmark price per square metre, and the absence of registered resales by the end of 2024 — a project analysis dated 26 September 2024. Resale data is cited with reference to the Land Department's registry.

Orla by Omniyat is still being built. The handover date of a given unit I verify against its contract before the deal.
2-bedroom, 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom, according to the sales-launch announcement. Which sizes are actually free right now depends on what is on the market; I will send the current list.
Palm Jumeirah. The palm-shaped island: villas on the fronds, apartments along the trunk, resorts around the crescent.
No open lots for the building today. I will check the price of the layout you are after in the closed databases and send it with every cost of the deal worked out.
What has been written about the building, its developer and Palm Jumeirah
Business Bay recorded 14 prime transactions in August 2026 against Palm Jumeirah's 10 — while Dubai-wide transaction volume fell 37% year-on-year and value fell 44%. Rental search demand rose 44% over the same period. What these seemingly contradictory numbers actually mean.
Knight Frank counted 219 Dubai home sales above $10m in 2022, 434 in 2023 and a record 435 in 2024 (about $7bn). In the first half of 2023 Dubai overtook New York, Hong Kong and London. How a shortage of supply made Palm Jumeirah the core of the market — the background to 2025–2026.
PASSO on Palm Jumeirah, Arancia Yards in City of Arabia and Soulever in Dubai Maritime City are all built by the same developer, BEYOND, yet each draws a different kind of investor. Why one brand does not mean one buyer profile.
On sales registered with the Dubai Land Department in the year to July 2026, Jumeirah 2 leads at about AED 7 560 per sq ft, followed by Trade Center 2, DIFC, Dubai Harbour and La Mer. The city median is about AED 1 716. How prices compare with rents, and when a costly square foot pays off.
ELA Residences is Omniyat’s ultra-prime scheme on the Palm Jumeirah crescent: Zaha Hadid Architects design, Dorchester Collection service, three- and four-bedroom homes and duplexes. Launched June 2024, under construction since May 2024, entry around AED 43m, handover still Q1 2028.
Knight Frank counted 500 Dubai home sales above US$10m in 2025, worth US$9.05bn, against 30 in 2020. The first half of 2026 added 296 more worth US$5.1bn, a half-year record. Where the money went and why the top of the market held up.
Altrata's Billionaire Census 2026 counts 43 billionaires living in Dubai, joint eighth among world cities with Shenzhen. The UAE has 59 with a combined $201bn. How that shows up in Dubai's AED 100m-plus villa market, and what it does not change for everyone else.
Dubai in 2024: 226 000 transactions worth AED 761bn (+36% and +20%) and 110 000 first-time investors, per the DLD. ValuStrat had prices up 27.5% — villas +31.6%, apartments +23.6%, Jumeirah Islands and Palm Jumeirah villas above 42%. Figures, leading districts and the September 2026 status.
By mid-2026, new-build homes above 1 million rubles per square metre are selling in 14 Moscow districts — four more than a year earlier. In Dubai that same price level remains the preserve of just four addresses: Jumeirah Bay Island, Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Hills and Downtown Dubai.
