Arista breaks ground on commercial development in Al Furjan
Arista Properties, a boutique real estate developer in Dubai, has officially broken ground on HQ, its flagship commercial development in Al Furjan project that is scheduled for handover in Q4 2027.
Designed by John R Harris, Dubai's master planners and architects of the iconic Dubai World Trade Centre, HQ was sold out even before Dubai witnessed the project in the market. With 48 Grade A offices across seven floors and an entire floor dedicated to amenities, this Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certified building is a boutique commercial development offering Fortune 500 level services.
Sajal Garg, Co-founder of Arista Properties, said, "Breaking ground on HQ is more than a construction milestone. It reflects our conviction in the UAE's future and celebrates an over-subscribed commercial development that is already making its mark in the boutique office segment. We have always been committed to a long-term vision in the UAE and will continue investing in projects that contribute to the country's evolving urban landscape while creating enduring value for businesses and investors.
"Alongside the ground-breaking of HQ, Arista Properties has also announced HQ Elite, an elevated concept boutique office, offering a premium collection of suites. Developed in response to growing demand for more refined and efficient commercial spaces, HQ Elite will introduce a new tier of office ownership for businesses, entrepreneurs, and investors seeking exclusivity beyond convention.
"HQ was always envisioned as more than a commercial development. It was designed to redefine the modern workplace. With HQ Elite, we are taking that vision even further by creating a selective collection of office spaces for businesses that require distinction, along with exceptional quality and Grade A commercial standards. HQ Elite represents our most refined commercial offering to date,” said Mudit Jain, Co-founder of Arista Properties.
With HQ, Arista is one of the first developers to introduce a dedicated premium office development in Al Furjan, contributing to the area's evolution into a vibrant mixed-use destination where businesses can thrive alongside established residential communities.
The development also reflects a broader shift in the UAE's commercial real estate landscape. As business activity expands beyond traditional central business districts, emerging micro-markets are increasingly becoming self-sustaining commercial hubs. The future of work is no longer defined solely by working from home or commuting to the city centre, but by working closer to where people live. This evolution is driving demand for thoughtfully designed, high-quality office spaces within thriving neighbourhoods such as Al Furjan, Jumeirah Village Circle, Jumeirah Lakes Towers and other fast-growing communities, bringing workplaces closer to talent, clients, and everyday life.
Arista has also shared development progress of its residential project Wadi Villas, which is on track for handover later this year. Construction has reached nearly 70 percent completion, with close to 20 percent additional construction completed over the past three months, underscoring the developer's ability to execute consistently and maintain project timelines without interruption.
