Select Group has built its reputation quietly but effectively — delivering a series of premium, design-led waterfront projects that consistently outperform in rental yield and capital appreciation. Unlike high-volume developers who compete on price, Select Group competes on quality and location precision.
Company Background
Founded in 2002, Select Group is one of Dubai’s longer-established private developers. Privately owned, not publicly listed. Key projects span Dubai Marina (Marina Gate trilogy), Business Bay (The Peninsula), and Palm Jumeirah (Six Senses).
Their strategy: fewer projects, better locations, premium execution. Each Select Group project is a statement of quality rather than volume.
Key Projects
Marina Gate (Dubai Marina)
Three towers — Marina Gate I, II, and III — positioned in the heart of Dubai Marina with full Marina Walk connectivity.
What makes them exceptional:
- Prime Marina Walk frontage — direct pedestrian access to marina restaurants and promenade
- Full-floor plates with Marina views from virtually every unit
- Premium specifications: stone finishes, quality kitchens, full-height windows
- Strong building management and service culture
Status: All three towers delivered. Active secondary market.
Price (secondary): 1BR from AED 1.4M, 2BR from AED 2.2M, 3BR from AED 3.5M
Rental yield: 6.5–8% gross. Among Dubai Marina’s top performers.
The Peninsula (Business Bay)
A five-tower master development on the Business Bay waterfront canal. Select Group’s most ambitious project by scale.
What makes it exceptional:
- Direct canal waterfront position — views across Dubai Canal and Downtown
- Extensive lifestyle amenities: pools, gyms, retail podium, landscaped canal-side promenade
- Mix of studios through 4BR options — wide buyer pool
Status: Under construction, phased delivery 2024–2027.
Price: Studios from AED 900K, 1BR from AED 1.4M, 2BR from AED 2.2M
Investment case: Business Bay canal frontage at competitive prices vs equivalent Marina waterfront. Strong appreciation expected as project completes.
Six Senses Residences (Palm Jumeirah)
Select Group’s ultra-luxury flagship — and one of Dubai’s most significant luxury launches in years. Six Senses is the world’s leading wellness hospitality brand; their first Dubai residential project on the Palm Jumeirah crescent.
What makes it exceptional:
- Six Senses brand: world-renowned wellness positioning, global recognition
- Integrated spa, wellness facilities, and Six Senses programming for residents
- Palm Jumeirah crescent views: Arabian Gulf on one side, Palm views on the other
- Limited number of residences — genuine scarcity
Price: From AED 8M for apartments; penthouses AED 30M–80M+
Investment case: Ultra-luxury branded residence in the most globally recognised Dubai address. Six Senses brand drives global buyer pool. Strong capital appreciation thesis.

Delivery reliability: On-time delivery across all completed projects. No significant post-handover complaints on record.
Liquidity: Select Group projects have deep secondary markets — the brand is well-known among Dubai’s agent community and buyers appreciate the quality premium.
