UAE developer launches $65m J188 wellness-led residential project in Dubai

UAE developer AD Global Real Estate has launched J188, its latest residential development in Dubai, as demand grows for wellbeing-led urban living across the emirate.

Valued at AED240m ($65.3m), the project incorporates neuroarchitecture elements and is designed to create a serene living environment while supporting active, lifestyle-driven residents.

The launch follows the successful sell-out of the developer’s earlier residential project, 171 Garden Heights, and coincides with the introduction of JAD 288, a three-building community in Jumeirah Garden City.

With the addition of J188, the value of JAD Global’s Dubai real estate investment portfolio now exceeds AED1bn ($272m), underscoring the developer’s expansion in one of the region’s most competitive residential markets.

Located in Al Jaddaf, J188 is a 13-storey residential building offering one- and two-bedroom freehold apartments.

Homes are designed around wellness, comfort and everyday functionality, with views across Dubai Creek and Downtown Dubai, and strong connectivity to major transport links and key destinations.

The development places emphasis on value-oriented, wellbeing-led design, featuring a curated range of lifestyle amenities.

• Fitness and wellness facilities
• A padel court
• Co-working spaces
• Landscaped gardens
• Family-focused areas

Residences are designed to prioritise privacy and long-term liveability, reflecting a human-centric approach to urban development.

Mohammed Al Sheikh, JAD Global CEO, said: “J188 marks the next phase of JAD Global’s expansion as we continue to broaden our residential portfolio in Dubai, one of the fastest growing real estate investment destinations in the world.

“Institutional investor backing for this project highlights confidence in our business model and our ability to deliver, while J188 itself represents our continued focus on well-designed, well-connected residential spaces that respond to how people want to live.”

J188 offers freehold ownership for all nationalities, with potential eligibility for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa, subject to applicable requirements. Buyers will also benefit from a 50/50 flexible payment plan, designed to support accessible ownership throughout the construction period.

Completion of the project is anticipated in Q2 2028, positioning J188 as a long-term residential and investment proposition within Dubai’s evolving wellness-focused real estate landscape.
