Lifestyle destinations more than residential master-plans — Bluewaters, City Walk, La Mer, Port de la Mer, and the central districts that redefined how Dubai is lived in.

Founded in 2007 to build what Dubai didn't yet have.

Chaired by
Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum
since 2020

Meraas was created with a different brief from Dubai's first generation of developers: instead of building new land, redefine the use of land Dubai already had. The result has been a portfolio of urban districts that read more like European city quarters than gated communities — pedestrianised, retail-led, design-coordinated.

Bluewaters Island anchors the western coastline, with the Ain Dubai observation wheel and a coordinated residential, hospitality and retail mix. City Walk re-zoned a stretch of Jumeirah Beach Road into a 10-hectare boulevard quarter. La Mer and Port de la Mer brought waterfront promenade life to Jumeirah’s older shore.

Inland, Madinat Jumeirah Living and Nad Al Sheba Gardens deliver low-density family residential within walking distance of older Dubai institutions. The company joined Dubai Holding in 2020, consolidating its destination-development mandate within the wider group. Current expansion focuses on Dubai Design District residential, City Walk Northline, and the Bvlgari Lighthouse residences off Jumeirah Bay.

“Bluewaters, City Walk, La Mer — Meraas designs the experiences that define modern Dubai.” — Jalili Advisory
