Dubai Marina's Specialist Developer
Select Group was founded in 2002 by Rahail Aslam, who remains the company’s Group CEO. The developer’s first Dubai project, The Torch in Dubai Marina, was the tallest residential tower in the world at its completion in 2011 — an early statement of Select Group’s focus on Dubai Marina and, later, Business Bay as its core operating territory, in contrast to developers pursuing citywide master-planned communities.
The 2014 launch of Marina Gate — a three-tower waterfront complex that has since grown to include Jumeirah Living Marina Gate and premium sub-project The Residences — cemented Select Group’s position as one of Dubai’s leading private developers. Studio One followed as a 31-storey tower targeting young professionals and first-time investors, and the developer has since expanded into hospitality, including the InterContinental Dubai Marina and a growing UK hotel portfolio.
Select Group’s construction quality is widely regarded as among the strongest in the market after Emaar, backed by a strong in-house service-management programme for delivered buildings. For investors, the developer’s concentrated Marina and Business Bay footprint offers deep familiarity with two of Dubai’s most consistently in-demand rental districts, with gross yields typically in the 5.5–7.5% range.
