Palm Jumeirah is one of the most successful real estate investment stories in the world. Known for record-breaking sales, luxury beachfront living, and high ROI. But what most investors don't know about is that there's a new opportunity launching now with price per square feet well below the surrounding five-star properties. This is Passo by Beyond, the latest beachfront development by the award-winning team behind Dubai's most buzzworthy waterfront launches and operating under Omniyat, one of the most trusted luxury developers in the UAE with strong potential for capital appreciation, short-term rental income, and access to private beachfront living in one of the most iconic neighborhoods on the planet. This is the opportunity global investors have been waiting for. Let's join Ahmed and Arshi inside the sales center for a full breakdown.
Hi Gigi. As per your request for your viewers, I'm currently here at Beyond Sales Center with of course the one and only RC, the sales director, who will actually go through for our viewers and tell us what's the scope.
Please let our viewers know why is this project by Beyond and not in Marina City. Why is this one so unique? Take over please.
Of course. Hello GG viewers. I'm so happy to have you guys here. So let's start first with the main factor which is the location. So what I'm going to cover in this video is the address, the project itself, and of course the experience that every investor or an end user will get in this project.
Going to the address, once we decided to take Beyond on the next level, we decided to choose one of the most iconic locations, I would say, in the world, because Palm Jumeirah is a world known island. Exactly. So we decided to enter Palm Jumeirah and not only enter Palm Jumeirah but enter the luxury sector of Palm Jumeirah, which is the Crescent on the Palm. Now the area that we have, we have decided to go for is the West Palm, which again, it's more private, more exclusive, and this plot is basically one of the last plots, I would say, in the West of the Palm.
So having that said, I always say that any island, any project, any location is only going to be built once. Be part of it while you can. So we already mentioned the location, the prime location that it holds. It's home to one of the most luxurious projects in Dubai. One of the most luxurious villas are located in this beautiful location in the Palm, and the designated plots that we have for this is basically in between the Kempinski hotel and the Eight Residences. So we have a huge plot in that sector with 250 meters of private beach and we're having basically two legs now.
So, Arshi, for our viewers and investors, I'm assuming that majority of the investors who are not interested in, for example, the Marina City because still the infrastructure is still long away. So anyone who's looking for a community, a fully established community with the infrastructure available, would definitely look into Palm Jumeirah and this particular project of yours.
Definitely. Now the advantages that you have in Palm Jumeirah, as you said, Ahmed, is that it's an established community. It's already mature. So you have the beautiful Royal Atlantis. You have the Atlantis Hotel. You have the One and Only Palm. You have like there are many, many interesting projects. You have the beautiful community of the 32 Carat villas. You have the Zumba Sarai Hotel. Many five-star hotels and there's no need to introduce it. It's already established a history and a name for itself.
Having that, people who enter this sector, it's basically different. Marina City is more of a newly established community. It's still on the ground. It's not in the stage that Palm is today. But in this area, once the project is completed, you have all the surroundings already working out for you and you do not need to wait for the next building and the building next to it to be done. That's why the price ranges are also different.
Excellent. Tell us more about the project right here.
The project. So when you come to the project, your journey actually begins on the main entrance, right? So this sector that you see is part that goes into the basement parking. This building, I can say, is one of the tallest, among the tallest buildings in Palm Jumeirah, because in Palm Jumeirah the allowance to have a tower is like G plus 7 or G plus 8. What we have accomplished here is G plus 14. So you have a beautiful 15 story building which comes in two towers. We have Tower A which is Avita and Tower B which is Bella. So once you enter, as you can see, Ahmed, there are two art piazzas that have an entrance to one community which we do have a glass pavilion under that.
So these glass pavilions are a point guard. You can have your guests there. There are double height story areas, glass houses, I would say, that you can have. We have libraries there. We have coffee sectors where you can enjoy club houses. We have lounges there. So we have different sectors of pavilion.
So Arshi, let me, I'm sorry to cut you off, but are these both towers both residential or is one of them going to be a hotel? Is this?
They are residential.
With a hotel concept?
Both of them are. Both of them will be residential with a hotel concept.
Yeah. So we're basically designing these two buildings to give you the experience of a hotel. Because when it comes to the experience that we're providing in these two beautiful towers, you have every box that you want to check when it comes to resort style living.
There we go. Okay. So here we have the entrance points and one of the important factors again at Palm is that I have so much to cover for you in these two buildings. One of the other important factors is that we have units starting from one to six bedrooms. So the one bedrooms, two bedrooms, three bedroom, they're all spread around the building.
Now for the way that these two towers are positioned, they basically get open views from each side. Our philosophy always at Beyond is that when we design a specific building, we do it in a way not to have any alarms.
Oh, obstructed views. Correct.
We're basically positioning them in a way, in an angle. For the first, all, when it comes to the sun path diagram, which units get the majority of the sunlight during the day. We look into very small details about every single tower in order to have one of the most successful project styles. So basically every apartment will come with its own view over here. No waste of space. No obstruction. Excellent. What else would the clients want?
Even when it comes to ground floor units, which we are providing a wellness collection. It's a mixture of one and two beds with their own private pool with their own private access to the community, which we will go to the other side of the building and I'll surprise you.
So we have a lot of pavilions dedicated to the facilities of the community. For example, one sector of the tower. Now the two main pavilions that we have is the wellness pavilion and the kids pavilion, which we have. The wellness pavilion is next to Tower A, which is Avita. Now, as you can see throughout the landscaping and the model that we have here, it's surrounded by landscaping and aquascaping. So you have your own dedicated pools for the wellness area. The units that you see down below, they are a mix of one and two beds with their own private swimming pool as well.
And if you follow me over here, you have the 250 meters of private beach access which is usable by all the residents.
250 meters. Wow.
250 meters. Even when it comes to our swimming pool, it's, I would say, one of the biggest lengths of swimming pool in Palm Jumeirah. Now, as you can see over here, we have six exclusive beach mansions which are having their own private basement, their own private lobby, their own private covered up parking space where you can take your own elevator and come to the unit.
So you have an exclusive entrance to your own, what do you call it? Would you call them mansion or?
Yeah, the mansions, the beach mansions.
What does this remind you of?
A yacht, a boat.
There we go. All right. So that's what the concept is. I see.
It's inspired by the yacht marina living. We had this idea that while you are at the beach at your own villa, you feel you're at your boat at the same time. So this is something very unique. And these are three level, plus two, plus two.
And you also have a basement.
And a basement underground. Okay, that's where you would park your car and be able to have access to it. Excellent. Wow.
So the basement basically has an elevator and a lobby which takes you. Yeah. And the parking space that is also in the basement is going to be covered up. So your car will be out of view to everyone else.
The built up area. What kind of sizes are we talking here?
11,000.
Wow. 11,000 built up area. Nice.
So after these six exclusive mansions, we also have penthouses. We have five penthouses, which we have two in this tower, two in the other tower, and one in the middle. So we have five exclusive penthouses of four and five beds with their own private swimming pool. Even the penthouses will have their own private lobby, their own exclusive elevator, which take them directly to their unit. The rest of the towers, then you see on both sides, they're a mix of two bedrooms, three bedrooms. We do have another interesting collection which is the elite collection. In the elite collection, again, we have from one bedroom types of units up to the four bedroom type.
Why are you calling it the elite?
It is an elite size of a unit. But like, what do we define as luxury? Basically, size. This is one of the most important things for us apart from the design and exclusivity and all. So the main thing which is the size. We have even one bedroom up to like 1,500, 1,600 square feet. So we include them as part of the elite unit and also the units that sometimes come on the corner.
Corner unit.
We call them the elite type. They have kind of a dual exposure. Now, an interesting thing about this building is that it's floor-to-ceiling glass. Right.
Okay. How many meters are we talking about?
3.2 meters.
So again, we are going beyond expectations having very high ceilings. And now the same thing goes for both towers.
And Arshi, I did also notice by looking at your floor plans that your apartments had actually one of the cleanest cut layouts. No wasted areas. Because majority of the projects that I've seen in Palm that have launched, I always wondered how would the landlord actually furnish this apartment, but looking at your layouts, I realized they were beautifully cut as far as not wasting any space.
Exactly. Now, one of the things about the building when you look at it, it's basically inspired by nature and crafted by the sea. So looking at the shape of the tower, it gives you the impression of canyons that change. So as you go higher, the number of the units gets more limited and they get more exclusive.
Now, one interesting thing about this project which you can actually differentiate it with other projects in Palm is that they are giving you one bedroom units surrounding every angle. So you have all types of views when it comes to one bedroom. And usually, when it comes to some exclusive projects, developers do not tend to have one. But what we're providing here for one bedroom units is something limited, nicely designed, very spacious. Every single room will have their own en suite. It's a smart home system. You have high-end kitchen appliances, and we're trying to take every single detail.
So, basically, the kitchen will be fully fitted. Okay. Guess what? The rest of the apartment will not be furnished.
Exactly. You have to double the price, of course, and majority of the people actually do prefer to furnish it based on their own taste.
So looking at it, it is an investor product. It is an end user product. And Palm itself, you know, we always say a community gets 100% developed when there are no more empty plots for it. We still do have empty plots. So even for investors, if they invest at this time, and especially looking at the project as an off-time project, it still has that growth, you know? Like, let's be honest. The first investors who came to Palm Jumeirah was a piece of sand.
Exactly.
But again, they are going to make capital appreciation, not as much as the first.
True. True. Now the other thing I've noticed is that your amenities are spread out in the entire area. Tell me, what is it that I see on top of the buildings?
Okay. So on the 14th level of this project, we have a 360 degree view with the swim area and spa. Where you have a view of everywhere basically, I can say. You have the view of the blue waters. The Dubai Eye. The Address. Palm Jumeirah from the front side. You have a view of the Royal Atlantis. Atlantis retail. The skyline of Dubai. Every major location in the Marina. You will have a view of that.
On the other sector, we have a landscaping area, like more of a zen garden, perhaps.
Yeah, some kind of.
Because you do have the wellness section over here in this particular tower.
And so both of these side, like relaxation areas, let's say, for the residences. That's the rooftop gardening.
Nice. One important thing is on the 13th level of every single tower. Like from one side, now that we have the spa on the top floor of this tower, we have dedicated a designated area on the 13th floor of this tower also with a concept of a cool pool towards like the blue waters where you can see it here, right? This is something I guess you miss? So it's basically on this section over there, which again is your residence there. And the similar type that you have on the 30th floor here. On the other side, again, you have a landscaping area where you have a private cinema.
Nice section. Are we talking about an outdoor cinema?
No, indoor.
Indoor cinema.
Outdoor landscaping relaxation. Now we do have a spa as well in the building where you can have your own masseuse come and massage you. It's a spa sector for residents, and you have everything on the follow-up.
Another question. You mentioned that the project will have its own spa.
Yeah.
What other facilities are you providing here as far as commercial goes? Retail? Are we going to have? That's no retail. We do not entertain. First of all, like, we do not sell retail. We don't do it, even when it comes to Maritime City project. Why? Because when we create something, we want to have full control in order to have people keep the quality.
Keep the quality. Yes.
We do not want any kind of business, any third party to enter. It's us and us only.
And we don't want them to ruin the vibe that Beyond wants to offer it. We want to keep it exclusive. We want to keep that resort side living alive and we don't want to go mess it up.
I agree 100%. It's one of the biggest issues that I do realize that takes away that exclusivity, the elegance from a project is when a third party comes and opens up a supermarket, for example, a small convenience store.
Exactly. So that's a great differentiator. We want to keep the quality of the building on a very high end. That's why we're not doing it on this section.
This is actually a fun factor. Here is where we spoil the kids in order to grow with luxury.
Wow, that's a fancy looking kids play area.
Actually, this kids playing area for the viewers as well, if they want to see in details. It's a kids play area that is outside. We have dedicated an outdoor and indoor kids playing area with climbing rocks that we have in the outdoor section, slides, and some waterfall features that we have here. So once you buy this, you have to have a very expensive future for your kids.
Indeed. Indeed. Now Arshi, what about the gymnasium?
We do have the other sector.
Okay.
So the wellness center is a gym, a yoga studio, everything. It contains everything.
Correct. So in total, how many swimming pools are we talking about within the community all together?
Well, we have one on the rooftop. We have one on the, over here, we have like the kids pool. We have the lounge in the middle that keeps coming lower and lower. So basically, when you look at the ground floor here, it is filled with water. So basically, the entire water feature that we're looking at is usable. It is swimming pool. That excellent. It is a swimming pool. The swimming pool over there, you have on the rooftop. You have on the 13th level at the spa area. And next to the gym, also, you do have one. And then I see that you have private cabanas over there as well for clients.
Beautiful. Excellent.
So you have it all. I would say you have a library, dedicated library, in the glass pavilion which you have in both buildings, and it's a really high-end living experience.
Excellent. And now the one bedroom sizes are starting from what?
Starting from 850 plus.
Okay. And the two bedroom size?
The two bedrooms from 1,200, 1,300. It goes all the way to 3,000 square feet.
Wow. The sizes are very diverse. You have different types of sizes in all types of units. I think you guys have been trying to be as flexible as possible to let every sort of investor be able to afford to invest in here. That might explain it. There are all types of units surrounding the building with beautiful ocean views, the sea view and all types of units that you can basically enjoy. The penthouses, the three bed, two bedrooms, they basically are on the front side. And also, we do have two bedrooms surrounding in the middle, surrounding on the edges.
The good thing about it, Ahmed, that it's mentioned, is that the distance between now we are launching Tower A, but the distance from Tower B to the building next to it, which is Eight Residences, is around like 75 meters. So you have a proper distancing which gives every single angle of that unit to also have a view towards the front. And when it comes to Tower A, which we're launching now, the building next to it is the Kempinski. So the Kempinski hotel. This sector, if you can see, we have positioned some villas. You have the Kempinski villas, which are luxurious.
And obviously, that controls the obstruction as well. Excellent. They do not get blocked. They will not be congested and be blocking any other apartment. That's beautiful. That's music to not just my ears but to our investors as well.
Now I know Beyond is very well known with your payment plan.
Yes.
So Maritime was a huge success for us because of your payment plan. So what is the payment plan over here?
We are having a 6, 4, 2 payment plan.
Fantastic.
Which it is similar to Maritime but it's a different timeline of completion. So the project is going to be completed in Q3 2029. The payment plan is: you pay 10% plus 4% Land Department registration fee in the beginning, 10% after a month, and then every 6 months 5%.
5%. Wow. That works up to completion time 40%.
Excellent. Well, Arshi, I think you pretty much covered every aspect into the project.
Thank you, as always, Gigi. I hope you are pleased. And of course, our viewers definitely are pleased.
