Jumeirah Group has unveiled its fourth branded residence in Dubai as part of the area's new Peninsula waterfront development.
Jumeirah Living Residences Business Bay is expected to be complete in the fourth quarter of 2025, and will accompany Jumeirah's other residences in the city — Jumeirah Zabeel Saray Royal Residences, Jumeirah Living World Trade Centre Residences and Jumeirah Living Marina Gate.
The project is being built in partnership with developer Select Group, and will be one of six premium residential towers within the Peninsula development on the edge of Dubai Canal.
Travellers are looking for more than just a hotel room when they come to Dubai, according to Jose Silva, chief executive of the Jumeirah Group.
“Our Jumeirah Living serviced hotel residences at Marina Gate have proven highly popular since opening in 2020, where we have seen a rise in global travellers in search of that ‘home away from home’,” he said.
“We are entering a new dynamic of hospitality where guests are no longer simply a holiday maker, business traveller or staycationer; they are now often all three rolled into one, looking for greater immersion in the local community.”
The 35-storey tower includes 82 premium branded residences, including two, three, four and five-bedroom units, along with a unique full-floor, five-bedroom penthouse located on the top floor.
It will have concierge services, a resident’s lounge, a teenager lounge with gaming amenities and a co-studying area.
Dubai has become a key global centre for branded residences in the past 10 years, according to a recent report from Knight Frank.
“Residential development across the emirate has flourished since 2010 with the Armani Residences Burj Khalifa first in the market. Since then, we have seen an explosion of this asset class with strong demand from HNW [high-net-worth] and UHNW [ultra high-net-worth] buyers from across the globe,” said Dean Foley, head of residential project sales and marketing at Knight Frank Middle East.
“Such has been the rate of expansion that Dubai is now a global leader rivalling Miami and New York for completed and pipeline projects. Over the last 12 months, we have seen launches from Four Seasons, The Ritz-Carlton, St Regis, W and Six Senses, cementing Dubai’s popularity and boosting confidence with hotel operators, developers, owners and buyers.”

ETFs explained
Exhchange traded funds are bought and sold like shares, but operate as index-tracking funds, passively following their chosen indices, such as the S&P 500, FTSE 100 and the FTSE All World, plus a vast range of smaller exchanges and commodities, such as gold, silver, copper sugar, coffee and oil.
ETFs have zero upfront fees and annual charges as low as 0.07 per cent a year, which means you get to keep more of your returns, as actively managed funds can charge as much as 1.5 per cent a year.
There are thousands to choose from, with the five biggest providers BlackRock’s iShares range, Vanguard, State Street Global Advisors SPDR ETFs, Deutsche Bank AWM X-trackers and Invesco PowerShares.
Stuck in a job without a pay rise? Here's what to do
Chris Greaves, the managing director of Hays Gulf Region, says those without a pay rise for an extended period must start asking questions – both of themselves and their employer.
“First, are they happy with that or do they want more?” he says. “Job-seeking is a time-consuming, frustrating and long-winded affair so are they prepared to put themselves through that rigmarole? Before they consider that, they must ask their employer what is happening.”
Most employees bring up pay rise queries at their annual performance appraisal and find out what the company has in store for them from a career perspective.
Those with no formal appraisal system, Mr Greaves says, should ask HR or their line manager for an assessment.
“You want to find out how they value your contribution and where your job could go,” he says. “You’ve got to be brave enough to ask some questions and if you don’t like the answers then you have to develop a strategy or change jobs if you are prepared to go through the job-seeking process.”
For those that do reach the salary negotiation with their current employer, Mr Greaves says there is no point in asking for less than 5 per cent.
“However, this can only really have any chance of success if you can identify where you add value to the business (preferably you can put a monetary value on it), or you can point to a sustained contribution above the call of duty or to other achievements you think your employer will value.”
