Dubai real estate: Imtiaz launches $272m The Symphony with Zaha Hadid Architects in major Meydan project

Dubai-based real estate developer Imtiaz Developments has launched The Symphony by Imtiaz, a AED1bn ($272m) mixed-use landmark designed in collaboration with globally acclaimed Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA).

Positioned as the company’s most ambitious undertaking within its AED3bn ($816m) Meydan portfolio, the project introduces a new architectural statement to one of Dubai’s most in-demand districts.

Rising over a 4,234 sqm plot, the development blends ultra-luxury residences, retail spaces and office units through a design that fuses cultural heritage with ZHA’s distinctive futurism.

Inspired by traditional UAE crafts such as Sadu weaving and Talli embroidery, The Symphony translates their geometric intricacy into fluid, contemporary forms.

The result, according to the developer, is a sculptural structure that appears both forward-looking and rooted in the region’s artistic identity.

Residences start from AED2m ($544,000), with penthouses reaching up to AED20m ($5.4m), positioning The Symphony at the top tier of Meydan’s luxury market.

Masih Imtiaz, CEO of Imtiaz Developments, said: “The launch of The Symphony marks far more than the unveiling of a new development — it marks the beginning of a legacy. Collaborating with Zaha Hadid Architects has allowed us to push the boundaries of what luxury living can be in Dubai.

“The Symphony sets a new benchmark for design-led living — a pivotal statement for Meydan and for our next chapter as a developer.”

Gianluca Racana, Director at Zaha Hadid Architects, highlighted the alignment between the project and Dubai’s innovation-driven ethos. “Dubai thrives on innovation, and The Symphony reflects that spirit by combining advanced design with cultural depth,” he explained. “It creates a contemporary living environment that resonates with the future of urban life.”

The Symphony was unveiled during a major launch event at Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena attended by partners, investors and industry leaders, and headlined by Imtiaz’s brand ambassador, global superstar Hrithik Roshan.

The partnership with Zaha Hadid Architects had been formalised earlier during a signing ceremony at ZHA’s global headquarters in London.

With the design now revealed, construction is scheduled to begin in Q1 2026 with completion targeted for Q2 2029. Imtiaz expects strong global interest from high-net-worth individuals and design-focused investors seeking an iconic residential address in Dubai.
