Dubai South Partners with Cheval Collection to Develop 193-Unit Luxury Project at South Bay
Cheval South Bay will introduce serviced hotel apartments and branded residences to Dubai South, with the development scheduled to welcome its first residents and guests in 2030.
Dubai South is expanding its residential and hospitality portfolio through a new partnership with international luxury hospitality operator Cheval Collection. The two companies have signed an agreement to develop Cheval South Bay, a 193-unit project designed to bring serviced accommodation and branded residential living to the growing master development.
The project is scheduled to open in 2030 and will comprise 98 serviced hotel apartments and 95 branded residences. It will introduce Cheval Collection's hospitality offering to South Bay, strengthening the range of residential and accommodation options available within Dubai South.
The agreement was signed at Dubai South's headquarters in the presence of senior representatives from both organisations, including Nabil Al Kindi, Group Chief Executive Officer of Dubai South, and Mohammed Alawadhi, Chief Executive Officer of Cheval Collection.
Al Kindi described the partnership as an important development in Dubai South's expansion into the hospitality sector. He said bringing an established international operator into the community would support the area's growing residential offering and help strengthen its position as an integrated master development.
Alawadhi also highlighted the importance of the Middle East to Cheval Collection's regional expansion strategy. He said the addition of Cheval South Bay represents another milestone in the company's plans to grow its presence in the region.
Waterfront Location Within South Bay
Cheval South Bay will be situated within South Bay, a premium waterfront community in the Residential District of Dubai South. The neighbourhood features a lagoon extending approximately one kilometre and offers residents access to a range of community facilities.
The development will also be connected to South Bay Mall, providing convenient access to retail and lifestyle amenities. Its location within the waterfront community is expected to add another hospitality and residential option to Dubai South's expanding property landscape.
Cheval Collection Strengthens Its UAE Presence
The new project follows Cheval Collection's recent brand refresh and represents the company's fourth property in the UAE and sixth across the wider Middle East.
With Cheval South Bay added to its regional portfolio, the hospitality group's presence in the Middle East is expected to exceed 800 units, with further developments in the pipeline.
Another Step in Dubai South's Development
Dubai South continues to broaden its offering beyond its established aviation and logistics activities, with residential communities and hospitality developments forming part of its wider master-development strategy.
The Cheval South Bay agreement adds an international hospitality operator to this expansion and introduces a combination of serviced apartments and branded residences to the South Bay community.
With 193 planned units and an expected opening in 2030, the project will contribute to the area's long-term development as Dubai South continues to build out its residential and lifestyle destinations.
