Dubai:Dubai South and the UK-based luxury hospitality company Cheval Collection have signed an agreement to launch Cheval South Bay, a new residential and luxury hospitality project. This development aims to expand the offerings in Dubai South, a major urban master development focused on aviation, logistics, and real estate.

According to Emirates News Agency, the project will introduce first-of-its-kind luxury serviced apartments and branded residences in the area. Scheduled to open in 2030, Cheval South Bay will feature 193 units, including 98 serviced hotel apartments and 95 branded residences.

The signing ceremony took place at Dubai South headquarters, attended by Nabil Al Kindi, Group CEO of Dubai South, and Mohammed Alawadhi, CEO of Cheval Collection, along with senior executives from both organizations. Al Kindi highlighted the significance of this agreement as part of Dubai South's expansion into hospitality, emphasizing Cheval Collection's role as a renowned international operator enhancing the residential offering.

Alawadhi noted that the Middle East is a crucial area for their expansion, and establishing Cheval South Bay in Dubai represents a significant milestone in their regional growth. The development will be situated at South Bay, a waterfront community in Dubai South's Residential District, featuring a kilometre-long lagoon and direct connection to South Bay Mall.

This project marks Cheval Collection's fourth property in the UAE and its sixth in the Middle East, bringing their regional portfolio to over 800 units, with further expansion planned.
