Omniyat
The developer of Dubai’s record-breaking penthouses — Omniyat commissions architects like Zaha Hadid and sells to a few hundred buyers, not thousands.
What the Developer Is Known For
Omniyat was founded in 2005 by Mahdi Amjad and works exclusively at the top of the Dubai market, treating each building as a commissioned artwork rather than a product line. The portfolio is deliberately small and architect-driven: One Palm on Palm Jumeirah with 94 apartments, The Opus by Zaha Hadid in Business Bay, and The Residences at Dorchester Collection on the Dubai Water Canal. In 2019 the company set a Dubai record when a One Palm penthouse sold for AED 102,000,000.
Commissioned Architecture
Omniyat works with named architects and artists — Zaha Hadid designed The Opus — so each building is a singular commission rather than a repeated template.
Record-Setting Penthouse Sales
A One Palm penthouse sold for AED 102,000,000 in 2019, beating the company’s own AED 73,000,000 record set two years earlier at the top of the Dubai market.
Hotel-Managed Private Residences
Partnerships with the Dorchester Collection and others bring five-star hotel operation into the residences, with more than 1,000 hotel keys under development.
