NABNI
An Emirati family developer that waited for the right brand — its Business Bay tower carries Waldorf Astoria, and it says so was the whole point.
What the Developer Is Known For
NABNI Real Estate Development is an Emirati family business led by co-founders Badr Abdulla Alhelo Alsuwaidi as chief executive and Abdulrahman Abdulla Alhelo Alsuwaidi as chairman, with around two decades of local market experience. The house builds for craftsmanship rather than volume — in its own words, not just for the market but from a place of personal pride. The Avenue Residence series in Al Furjan accounts for most of the delivered portfolio, five completed and three in development, and Waldorf Astoria Residences Dubai Business Bay marks its move into branded luxury.
Waldorf Astoria Residences Dubai
NABNI selected Waldorf Astoria for its Business Bay tower, bringing Hilton’s most exclusive brand and its service standards into a private residential address.
A Family Business, Not a Fund
The company is run by two brothers as co-founders, chairman and chief executive, with roughly two decades of local market experience behind it.
Eight Buildings, One Neighbourhood
The Avenue Residence series has built out across Al Furjan over eight phases, five delivered and three in construction, in a single concentrated location.
