ALA Developments has commenced construction on Havencia, a 286-unit residential project located within Dubai Land Residence Complex (DLRC), marking the developer’s second undertaking in the emirate. The project broke ground on October 1, with a ceremony attended by the company’s leadership, investors, brokers, and invited guests.
Scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2028, Havencia will occupy a 34,057-square-foot site and feature studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. The development is targeted at both families and investors, offering a range of amenities alongside convenient access to major road networks, schools, retail outlets, metro stations, and leisure destinations across Dubai.
Notably, Havencia is the first development in DLRC to provide studios that can be converted into one-bedroom units. The communal facilities include a business lounge and library located at the entrance, as well as a podium level featuring a splash pad, butterfly garden with koi pond, and jogging track. Rooftop amenities consist of a gym equipped by Technogym, a golf simulator, barbecue area, open-air cinema, and a party hall. Residences will come equipped with fitted kitchen cabinetry, built-in Siemens appliances, built-in wardrobes, and smart-home technology powered by Alexa.
Chairman Hassan Raza highlighted the project as a significant milestone in ALA Developments’ broader strategy to expand its footprint in the UAE and the wider Middle East real estate market. “Our vision is not only to develop buildings, but to build a strong and trusted real estate development company,” Raza said during the ceremony. He added that over the next five years, he expects the company to evolve into a billion-dollar enterprise managing at least 30 projects across the region.
Havencia follows ALA Developments’ inaugural project, Creek Views at Al Jaddaf Waterfront, which comprises 108 residences including one- and two-bedroom apartments and four-bedroom penthouses. Creek Views is expected to be handed over in the first quarter of 2027.
Founded in 2023, ALA Developments originates from Star Track Group, a conglomerate with operations spanning over 40 countries in the Middle East, Africa, and the CIS region. Their interests cover home appliances, hospitality, and real estate sectors.
The developer has disclosed a pipeline of four additional projects valued at over AED 1 billion, located across Dubai Land Residence Complex, Dubai South, Dubai Industrial City, and Dubai Islands. Further details on these future developments are anticipated at a later date.
The company's leadership team is composed of Chairman Hassan Raza, Head of Consortium Abbas S.Z., and Chief Executive Officer Syed Zaman Abbas. ALA Developments emphasizes a strategy centered on a limited number of design-driven residential projects, with a focus on quality control, regulatory compliance, and timely delivery.
