Casagrand Commences Construction on Casagrand Hermina at Dubai Islands, on Track for Q2 2028 Completion
Casagrand Marks International Debut with Construction Start at Dubai Islands
Casagrand has officially commenced construction work on Casagrand HERMINA at Dubai Islands, marking a significant milestone in the delivery of its debut residential development in the UAE. The project remains on track for Q2 2028 completion.
Project Overview
Casagrand HERMINA comprises 131 residences, with prices starting from AED 1.92 million and a 60/40 payment plan. The development will comprise 1, 2, 3 and 4-bedroom apartments, designed by Casagrand's in-house architectural team. Residences on every floor are thoughtfully spaced to ensure enhanced privacy, quieter corridors, and a boutique sense of exclusivity.
The architectural approach emphasises connection to waterfront surroundings. The project features open-water views and sweeping vistas across the Dubai and Sharjah skylines, with double-height balconies framing panoramic views of the waterfront, Burj Khalifa, and the Creek.
Location and Market Context
Dubai Islands continues to strengthen its position as a key growth corridor, supported by major infrastructure investment, improving connectivity, and rising demand for waterfront communities. The development sits within a major coastal district backed by government vision and investment, supported by the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan.
The area boasts 21km of Blue Flag-certified beaches, major infrastructure upgrades, including an eight-lane bridge to Downtown Dubai by 2026, and a planned Metro link. Dubai Islands is located in the northeastern part of Dubai, off the coast of Deira, positioned less than 25 minutes from Dubai International Airport and Downtown Dubai.
Development Scale and Investment
The project is valued at AED 420 million and marks Casagrand's expansion into the Middle East. Casagrand plans over 6 million square feet of development in the UAE with the investment in Dubai Islands, signalling a broader regional strategy beyond this first project.
Investor Response and Market Momentum
Investor activity around Casagrand HERMINA remains highly active, with increasing participation from high-net-worth individuals and seasoned investors who are prioritising capital appreciation and portfolio quality over short-term positioning. A growing share of demand is coming from international buyers across the US, Canada, Europe, and Russia, underscoring the global depth of confidence in Dubai's residential market.
A clear trend emerging is the rise in bulk acquisitions, with investors securing multiple units as part of long-term portfolio strategies, reflecting confidence in both the asset and Dubai's fundamentals.
