One Development — Dubai's Signature Developer Creating Singular, Exceptional Residential Addresses

| Attribute | Detail | |---|---| | Headquarters | Dubai, UAE | | Brand Philosophy | One standard — the highest; one commitment — absolute | | Asset Class Focus | Ultra-premium residential, landmark developments | | Primary Markets | Dubai's most prestigious residential corridors | | Design Approach | Singular architectural statements; one-of-a-kind homes | | Regulatory Status | RERA registered, DLD compliant | | Target Buyer | UHNW individuals, family offices, global luxury buyers |

TL;DR: One Development occupies a deliberate position at the singular apex of Dubai's luxury residential market. The developer's name captures its philosophy: one standard — the absolute highest; one level of commitment — unconditional. Every One Development project is conceived as a singular achievement — not one in a portfolio of similar products, but a genuinely individual building where architectural quality, material excellence, and residential experience are pushed to their outer limits. For UHNW investors who refuse to accept "among the best" when "the best" is available, One Development is the answer.

Company Overview — The Singular Standard

One Development's founding conviction is elegantly simple: in a market saturated with developer promises of "luxury" and "premium," the truly exceptional developer distinguishes itself not by what it claims but by what it delivers — and what it delivers is genuinely singular.

The developer builds one building at a time, with the full attention of its development team. Each project is the current singular focus, not one of a portfolio managed by spreadsheet. This discipline of singular attention produces buildings that reflect the obsessive quality control achievable only when leadership is directly, personally invested in every decision — from the architect's first sketch to the last snagging defect cleared before handover.

The "One" Design Philosophy

Every One Development building embodies three "One" principles:

One Architect Each project is designed by a single, internationally recognised architectural practice — not assembled from a catalogue of standard components. The architect maintains creative involvement through all design stages.

One Specification Level There is no tiering of units by specification grade. Every unit receives the same materials, finishes, and smart technology — from the smallest studio to the largest penthouse. "One level" means universal excellence.

One Management Standard Building management is maintained at the same standard on day 1,000 as on day 1. One Development's building management commitment is indefinite, not contractually limited.

Global Ultra-Luxury Buyer Profile

One Development's buyers represent the global UHNW community:

Primary Buyer Origins

| Region | Driver | |---|---| | Russia / CIS | Geopolitical wealth relocation; UAE neutrality | | UK / Europe | Tax efficiency; lifestyle; Golden Visa | | India (top tier) | UAE NRI residency; UAE-India business connections | | GCC (Saudi, Kuwait) | Regional luxury benchmark; holiday lifestyle | | China / SE Asia | Diversification; education hub for children | | USA / Canada | Tax treaty, lifestyle diversification |

For these buyers, a One Development residence is not an investment in the conventional sense — it is a lifestyle asset that may also deliver strong financial returns, but whose primary value is experiential.

Investment Performance — The Ultra-Prime Argument

Ultra-prime properties have historically delivered different but compelling investment returns:

Palm Jumeirah Ultra-Prime Performance (2012–2024)

| Metric | Value | |---|---| | Average Gross Yield | 5.5–6.5% | | Price Growth (2020–24) | +85% | | STR ADR (2BR Palm villa) | AED 3,000–15,000/night | | Transaction volume (>AED 10M) | 500+ annually (2023) | | Foreign buyer share | 88% | | Capital preservation in downturns | Outperformed market by 30%+ |

Ultra-prime properties underperform on yield but outperform on capital preservation and absolute appreciation in Dubai's bull cycles — a trade-off that UHNW buyers rationally accept given their emphasis on capital protection over income generation.

Investment Case — Why One Development?

1. Singular Supply Cannot Be Replicated By building one project at a time, in the most constrained locations available, One Development creates a permanently limited supply of its product. When supply is constrained and demand is global, pricing power is structural.

2. UHNW Demand is Global and Growing The global UHNW population has grown at 8% per year since 2020 — and Dubai has captured a disproportionate share of UHNW relocation. The buyer pool for One Development's product is widening, not narrowing.

3. Architectural Legacy Appreciates Buildings with genuine architectural merit — commissioned from internationally recognised architects, built to standards exceeding any comparable product — appreciate faster and hold value better than generic luxury. Architecture is an appreciating asset within the broader property value.

4. Golden Visa — Enhanced All One Development units qualify for the UAE's 10-year Golden Visa; premium units may qualify for enhanced investment visa categories.

5. Discretion and Privacy One Development's singular focus and ultra-premium positioning attracts a buyer community that values discretion. The developer's strict privacy protocols make it a preferred choice for UHNW buyers for whom confidentiality is a non-negotiable.
