Select Group
Dubai's premier independent developer — Marina Gate, Six Senses Residences, and The Peninsula Business Bay.
Select Group has quietly built one of Dubai's most consistent track records — delivering Marina Gate (Dubai Marina's most prestigious private development), The Peninsula in Business Bay, and the ultra-luxury Six Senses Residences on Palm Jumeirah.
About Select Group
Select Group was founded in 2002 and has operated with a clear discipline: fewer projects, better locations, higher quality. The company deliberately targets premium waterfront sites and develops them with specifications that exceed market standard — creating buildings that compete with the best, not the most affordable.
The Marina Gate trilogy (three towers in Dubai Marina) is Select Group's most recognised achievement — buildings that are consistently ranked among Dubai Marina's most desirable addresses for both residents and investors. The specifications: stone lobbies, premium fixtures, marina walk frontage, and professional building management that maintains standards post-delivery.
The Peninsula in Business Bay is Select Group's most ambitious project by scale — five towers on the Business Bay canal waterfront, creating a mini-community with canal promenade, multiple pool levels, retail podium, and comprehensive lifestyle amenities. The canal frontage positioning provides a location premium that comparable inland Business Bay towers cannot replicate.
Six Senses Residences on Palm Jumeirah is Select Group's entry into ultra-luxury. Six Senses is the world's leading wellness hospitality brand — operating Soneva Fushi, Six Senses Douro Valley, and similar ultra-prestigious properties globally. Their first Dubai residential project on the Palm crescent represents a globally unique wellness-focused ultra-luxury product.

Investment Case for Select Group
Select Group delivers Emaar-level quality without the Emaar price premium — premium positioning at mid-premium pricing. Marina Gate properties in the secondary market offer strong yield (7–8%) from established rental demand, with lower vacancy than comparable Marina towers due to the building quality and management. The Peninsula provides the best current entry point: Business Bay canal waterfront at AED 900K+, with Emaar-quality specifications from a developer with proven delivery. Six Senses is for UHNW investors seeking wellness-branded ultra-luxury at a lower price than Omniyat but with equivalent brand prestige in the wellness segment.

Select Group — Property Developer FAQs
Yes — Select Group has one of the strongest delivery records of any private developer in Dubai. All Marina Gate towers and previous projects were delivered within acceptable timelines. The company's focused approach (fewer, better projects) enables tighter quality and schedule control than high-volume developers.
The Peninsula Business Bay offers the best current value — canal waterfront positioning at AED 900K+ with premium specifications. For ultra-luxury, Six Senses Residences on Palm Jumeirah is a globally unique product. For secondary market purchases, Marina Gate II and III offer proven rental performance and strong building management.
Six Senses is the world's leading wellness hospitality brand (think Soneva Fushi, Six Senses Douro Valley). Their Palm Jumeirah residences provide owners access to Six Senses spa, wellness programming, longevity treatments, and resort-standard services within their own home. It is the most complete wellness-lifestyle residential product in Dubai.
Select Group typically offers 60/40 structures with some post-handover elements for The Peninsula. Six Senses Residences have bespoke payment structures given their ultra-luxury positioning. Contact our advisors for current specific structures.
Select Group properties are slightly less liquid than Emaar (smaller brand recognition, smaller agent network familiarity) but still have strong secondary market activity — particularly Marina Gate which is well-known to Marina specialists. The quality premium is recognised by experienced Dubai investors, supporting above-market resale prices.
