CONSUMER NEWS

Dubai South and UK-based luxury hospitality company Cheval Collection have signed an agreement to develop Cheval South Bay, a new serviced apartment and branded residence project within Dubai South’s Residential District, scheduled to open in 2030.

The development will comprise 98 serviced hotel apartments, ranging from studios to three-bedroom units, alongside 95 branded residences offering one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts. The project marks Cheval Collection’s continued expansion in the Middle East and introduces its serviced apartment and branded residence concept to Dubai South.

The agreement was signed at Dubai South headquarters in the presence of Nabil Al Kindi, Group CEO of Dubai South, and Mohammed Alawadhi, CEO of Cheval Collection, alongside senior executives from both companies.

Al Kindi said: “Our agreement with Cheval Collection marks an important step in Dubai South’s expansion into hospitality developments, bringing a renowned, experienced international operator to our growing residential offering. As Dubai South continues to develop, hospitality will play an increasingly important role in serving the growing needs of the vibrant businesses ecosystem and visitors to the community. Cheval South Bay will support this growth while strengthening Dubai South’s appeal as an integrated master development.”

Alawadhi said: “Cheval Collection is firmly established as a global leader in luxury accommodation, including serviced hotel apartments and now branded residences, too. The Middle East is pivotal to our expansion, and the addition of Cheval South Bay in Dubai marks a major milestone in our continued growth in the region. This stunning new complex bears all the hallmarks of any Cheval property: a convenient location, beautiful residences, great amenities and impeccable service, which all add up to unrivalled standards of living where residents have the luxury of time, space and attention – be they long term guests, short-stayers or owners of their own Cheval branded home.”

The project will feature furnished apartments and residences with fully equipped kitchens, private balconies and high-quality finishes. Facilities will include a swimming pool, gym, residents’ lounge and dining outlets. The development will also be pet-friendly.

Waterfront location supports residential and retail offering

Cheval South Bay will be situated within South Bay, a waterfront community at the centre of Dubai South’s Residential District, featuring a one-kilometre lagoon.

The development will also be connected to the planned South Bay Mall, providing residents with access to retail, dining and lifestyle facilities.

The project will become Cheval Collection’s fourth property in the UAE and sixth in the Middle East. With its addition, the company's regional portfolio will exceed 800 units, with further developments in the pipeline.

Buyers of branded residences will also have access to the Cheval DISCOVERY loyalty programme, operated in partnership with Global Hotel Alliance. Benefits include rewards, member privileges and elite status for branded residence purchasers.

The agreement follows Cheval Collection’s recent brand refresh and forms part of its wider regional expansion strategy, while supporting Dubai South’s plans to develop an integrated community combining residential, commercial, hospitality and lifestyle offerings. -TradeArabia News Service
