A UAE-based developer with hospitality collaborations

CITYVIEW Developments is active in residential, commercial and hospitality property. Its current Dubai office is in Business Bay, and its published development approach brings together design, wellness and hospitality partners.

Current Dubai portfolio

Hyde Residences in Dubai Hills is a branded collaboration with Ennismore and Accor. CITYVIEW's current project page lists 235 residences and Q1 2027 as the planned completion period.

In Motor City, CITYVIEW published Velos Residence as a 408-residence project in July 2025. Its current portfolio also names Mövenpick Residences in Motor City, with Q4 2028 as the planned completion period. The two names remain separate in this profile, alongside planned branded projects in Meydan and Downtown Dubai.

How CITYVIEW differs from other Dubai developers

CITYVIEW Developments builds on two Dubai sites and licenses a hotel name for each. Both projects publish a unit count, a completion quarter, a starting price and the Approved by DLD mark. The portfolio is young: the DLD developer number was recorded in December 2023 and nothing has been handed over.

Both residential brands are licensed, not owned
Hyde belongs to Ennismore and Mövenpick to Accor. The Hyde Residences Dubai Hills project site states that Cityview LLC is solely responsible for the ownership, development and operation of the project, and that the Hyde name is used under a limited, non-exclusive licence from AH New Lifestyle Middle East FZE.
Two projects, two price levels
Hyde Residences Dubai Hills starts at AED 1.8M for one- to three-bedroom apartments. Mövenpick Residences Motor City starts at AED 795,777 for a furnished studio of 341 sq ft.
The Motor City tower was launched under a different name
The July 2025 release names it Velos Residence, a G+2P+30 tower of 408 units. The current Mövenpick Residences page gives the same Motor City site and the same 408 residences, and carries the Velos launch in its own media list. Property Finder still lists the two separately.
Each project runs through its own company
Propsearch records City View Urban Real Estate Development against Mövenpick Residences Motor City, and City View Prime Real Estate Development against the planned Sofitel-branded project.
Wellness and construction partners are named
The About page names WHOOP and Technogym for wellness, LaCasa for architecture, Morganti and Gulf Modern Contracting for construction, Bishop Design for interiors and Refine among project partners.
Two further projects are published as plans only
Meydan branded offices and residences, and Downtown branded residences, are both carried on the portfolio as Coming soon with completion TBD.
