Ohana Development, the UAE’s premier real estate developer of luxury properties, has officially unveiled its most exclusive project yet—Jacob & Co. Beachfront Living by Ohana. The launch was celebrated in spectacular fashion at Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental, Abu Dhabi, on 12th May 2025, in the presence of Husein Salem, CEO of Ohana Development, and Jacob Arabo, Chairman and Creative Director of Jacob & Co.
This AED 4.7 billion (USD $1.3 billion) coastal marvel is located in the serene stretch of Al Jurf, perfectly situated between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. With direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road, the development offers seamless connectivity to major UAE hubs including Abu Dhabi International Airport, Palm Jebel Ali, and Al Maktoum International Airport.
At the heart of this visionary collaboration lies a deep reverence for artistry, natural beauty, and elevated living. The development will feature 457 meticulously designed residences, including seaview apartments, private villas, expansive penthouses, and the ultra-exclusive Sky Mansions and Beachfront Mansions. Penthouses start from AED 22 million and feature sweeping 180-degree views, while Sky Mansions—starting at AED 77 million—boast 360-degree vistas, dedicated elevators, and rooftop privacy.
For those who seek serenity and space, the project offers customisable 3- to 6-bedroom villas and mansions with private pools, tranquil reserve views, or canal-front settings. The Beachfront Mansions crown the collection, each home oriented to embrace panoramic sea views and designed to an unrivalled standard of coastal elegance.
Husein Salem, CEO of Ohana Development, describes the project as “a sanctuary along the coast” that redefines beachfront luxury in the UAE. “We are crafting a destination,” he said, “where curated experiences, timeless elegance, and natural tranquillity converge.”
Jacob Arabo, the visionary behind Jacob & Co., shared, “This is our tribute to coastal artistry. Jacob & Co. Beachfront Living by Ohana merges visionary design, craftsmanship, and the sea’s allure to create truly extraordinary homes.”
One of the development’s centrepieces is the Jacob & Co. Social Club, the world’s first branded residential social space by the Maison. Amenities include a seafront cigar lounge, executive business centre, private meeting suites, and the exclusive Jacob & Co. Residents Club, featuring a curated watch gallery and rotating art exhibits. Residents are welcomed into a grand atrium lobby anchored by a 10-meter-wide Jacob & Co. ceiling timepiece—the largest of its kind globally, replacing the traditional chandelier with a symbol of precision and artistry.
Completing the experience is the world’s first Jacob & Co. Beach Club, a dynamic culinary destination with fine dining, beachside restaurants, and curated experiences designed to embody the spirit of seaside celebration.
Nature is a constant presence, with the development nestled amid a protected reserve of native flora and fauna. Architecturally, curved façades mimic the ebb and flow of the sea, with structural elements subtly forming the letters ‘J’ and ‘C’—a respectful nod to Jacob & Co.’s signature.
Scheduled for completion by Q2 2028, Jacob & Co. Beachfront Living by Ohana is set to become a global reference in branded luxury beachfront residences—uniting design, craft, and coastal living in a way never seen before in the region.
Ohana Development’s growing portfolio includes projects such as Ohana by the Sea in Al Jurf, ELIE SAAB Waterfront by Ohana on Reem Island, and residential communities in Lebanon including Ohana Villas and Ohana Hills.
