Binghatti establishes Malaysia as gateway to Dubai projects

Binghatti, a leading property developer based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has officially designated Malaysia as its Southeast Asia investment hub to drive regional interest in its expanding portfolio of premium residential developments in Dubai.

With a development portfolio exceeding AED50 billion (approx. RM58 billion) of more than 80 projects, and over 11,000 residential units delivered across Dubai, Binghatti brings a proven track record of architectural innovation and execution to international markets.

This move comes amid sustained momentum in Dubai’s real estate sector, which recorded transactions worth over AED 431 billion (approx. RM 498 billion) in the first half of 2025—a 25% year-on-year increase. Foreign demand for real estate, strengthened bilateral and multilateral ties, and the UAE’s safe haven status continue to fuel rapid growth in housing prices and rental rates, while contributing to ample domestic liquidity.

As the appointed hub, Malaysia will serve as a launchpad for investor engagement across Southeast Asia, with a specific focus on reaching Malaysian and regional buyers through dedicated previews, advisory services and after-sales support. This strategic move builds on Malaysia’s strong appetite for international real estate—driven by a growing base of high-net-worth individuals, with its ultra-high-net-worth population projected to grow by 35% over the next five years, one of the fastest growth rates in Asia. Its well-developed financial infrastructure facilitates seamless cross-border transactions, while direct flight connectivity to Dubai further strengthens Malaysia’s role as a gateway for regional investors seeking access to tax-friendly and high-growth markets like the UAE.

The initiative spotlights Binghatti’s latest off-plan development, Aquarise—an ultra-luxury waterfront tower currently under construction and scheduled for handover between late 2026 and mid-2027. Featuring sculptural, water-inspired architecture, smart-home technology, and resort-style amenities, Aquarise is located in Business Bay, one of Dubai’s most sought-after districts known for its proximity to Downtown Dubai, the Burj Khalifa, and the Dubai Canal. Units start from AED1 million (approx. RM1.16 million). Other developments, including Skyhall and Skyrise, are also underway, further expanding Binghatti’s portfolio and offering a range of premium residential investment opportunities.

“Our presence in Malaysia marks the next chapter in Binghatti’s global investment platform—bringing world-class Dubai real estate closer to Southeast Asian investors,” said Lucky Zhang, Sales Manager of Binghatti. “With Swan Knights and Skylink as our partners, this alliance reflects our shared commitment to delivering a seamless investment experience—rooted in trust, design excellence, and long-term value.”

Binghatti is renowned for its architectural distinction and global partnerships, having launched several record-breaking branded residences—including the Bugatti Residences, Mercedes-Benz Places, and Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co. Residences, set to become the world’s tallest branded residential tower. Investor engagement activities will commence in the coming months, including exclusive previews, briefings, and personalised consultations for interested buyers.
