What the Developer Is Known For

Alta is a privately owned Dubai developer founded and led by Abdulla Al Tayer, describing itself as a lifestyle company rather than a housebuilder. Its distinguishing trait is deliberate scarcity: AIRE on Sheikh Zayed Road holds 151 residences including sky homes, duplexes and penthouses, while Mr. C Residences Jumeirah holds just 27 waterfront homes of three to six bedrooms, drawn from the lines of a luxury yacht with an Italian sensibility. The studio works with Arquitectonica, Meyer Davis and the Mr. C brand.

Twenty-Seven Homes on the Water

Mr. C Residences Jumeirah holds only 27 waterfront residences, shaped after a luxury yacht — a scale that makes every unit a corner of the building.

Arquitectonica and Meyer Davis

Alta commissions internationally recognised firms rather than in-house teams, working with Arquitectonica, Meyer Davis and the Mr. C hospitality brand.

Award-Winning Residential Design

Mr. C Residences Jumeirah won Best Luxury Residential Development at the Luxury Lifestyle Awards 2022, the studio’s first international recognition.
