LIV Developers
Where Luxury Meets the Waterfront. Boutique Living Redefined.
Dubai's Premier Master Developer
LIV Developers is one of Dubai’s most distinctive boutique luxury real estate brands, specialising exclusively in premium waterfront residences. Founded in 2000, the company’s principals have been residents of Dubai since 1991 and bring decades of high-end real estate experience from New York and Los Angeles to the UAE market. LIV’s first Dubai project, LIV Residence — a 27-storey tower in Dubai Marina — was launched in 2018 and delivered on schedule in May 2020, setting the tone for the brand’s reputation for quality and punctual delivery. Since then, LIV has expanded its portfolio across some of Dubai’s most coveted waterfront addresses, including LIV LUX, LIV Marina, LIV Waterside, LIV Maritime, and the newly launched LIV Oceanside at Dubai Islands. With nearly AED 2.3 billion worth of homes due for delivery within 12 months and a new ultra-prime project pipeline exceeding AED 2 billion, LIV Developers continues to redefine boutique waterfront living in Dubai. Every LIV project is defined by its location-first philosophy — delivering panoramic water views, architectural distinction, and resort-style amenities across Dubai Marina, Dubai Maritime City, and Dubai Islands.
LIV Developers Achievements
LIV Residence — The Debut Landmark
LIV Residence is the developer's inaugural Dubai project and flagship completed asset — a 27-storey luxury tower in Dubai Marina designed by NAGA Architects with interiors by MWM Studios. Delivered on time in May 2020, the 179-unit building set the standard for LIV's quality-first approach, with 70% of apartments offering unobstructed waterfront views.
Exclusive Waterfront Locations
Every LIV project is sited at one of Dubai's premier waterfront addresses. The developer has strategically focused on Dubai Marina, Dubai Maritime City, and Dubai Islands — three of the emirate's most sought-after coastal zones — ensuring each residence benefits from sea views, marina access, and premium lifestyle proximity.
Boutique Scale, Ultra-Prime Finish
Unlike large-scale volume developers, LIV operates as a true boutique developer — prioritising architectural quality, bespoke interior specifications, and curated amenity programming over mass output. Each tower is individually conceived and positioned at the ultra-prime end of the market, featuring signature duplexes, sky penthouses, and private-pool residences.
AED 2.3 Billion Delivery Pipeline
As of late 2025, LIV Developers has announced a delivery pipeline of nearly AED 2.3 billion in residential homes — comprising 640 apartments across active projects — with an additional ultra-prime development pipeline exceeding AED 2 billion. This trajectory positions LIV as one of Dubai's fastest-growing boutique luxury brands.

Frequently Asked Questions About LIV Developers
Common questions about investing in LIV Developers developments
LIV Developers is a Dubai-based boutique luxury real estate developer specialising in premium waterfront residences. Founded in 2000, the company is led by CEO Latif Habib and Director Ishan Khwaja — both long-term Dubai residents since 1991 — and has built its reputation on delivering quality, location-first developments across Dubai Marina, Maritime City, and Dubai Islands.
LIV Developers was founded in 2000. The company’s principals had been active in high-end real estate in Los Angeles and New York prior to entering the Dubai market, and have been based in the UAE since 1991. LIV launched its first Dubai project in 2018.
LIV Developers is headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The company focuses exclusively on the Dubai real estate market, with projects in Dubai Marina, Dubai Maritime City, and Dubai Islands.
LIV Developers specialises in luxury waterfront apartments, duplex residences, signature penthouses, and waterfront villas. Their portfolio is exclusively positioned at the upper end of the market, featuring panoramic sea and marina views, high-end finishes, and resort-style amenities. Projects include mid-rise and high-rise residential towers in Dubai’s prime coastal zones.
LIV Developers has three completed projects: LIV Residence (Dubai Marina, delivered May 2020) — a 27-storey, 179-unit tower designed by NAGA Architects; LIV LUX (Dubai Marina, topped out and due December 2026); and LIV Marina (Dubai Marina, a 44-storey tower). LIV Maritime, LIV Waterside, and LIV Oceanside at Dubai Islands are currently active in various stages of development.
LIV Oceanside is LIV Developers’ latest project, located on Dubai Islands — a premier new coastal destination in Dubai. The wellness-focused luxury residential tower is scheduled for completion in November 2027 and features unobstructed sea views from every residence, private pools on signature penthouses and duplexes, and direct proximity to a waterfront golf course and marina.
LIV Developers focuses on three key waterfront districts in Dubai: Dubai Marina (LIV Residence, LIV LUX, LIV Marina, LIV Waterside), Dubai Maritime City (LIV Maritime), and Dubai Islands (LIV Oceanside). The developer has historically also explored Business Bay, Emirates Hills, Pearl Jumeirah, and Jebel Ali for future expansion.
LIV Developers has an established track record of on-time delivery — notably with LIV Residence, which was handed over in May 2020 as scheduled. As a boutique developer, LIV maintains tighter quality control than high-volume developers, with a focus on premium finishes and waterfront positioning. With a AED 2.3 billion delivery pipeline active in late 2025, the company demonstrates strong financial momentum. Buyers should review individual project payment plans and RERA registration as standard due diligence.
LIV Developers’ active projects as of 2025 include LIV Waterside (Dubai Marina), LIV Maritime (Dubai Maritime City), LIV LUX (nearing completion, due December 2026), and the newly launched LIV Oceanside (Dubai Islands, due November 2027). The developer also has a new ultra-prime pipeline valued at over AED 2 billion being advanced.
LIV Developers offers flexible off-plan payment structures across its projects. Plans vary by development, and typically include an initial down payment upon booking, staged construction installments, and a balance due on handover. Buyers are advised to contact LIV directly or consult a registered agent for current plan details on specific projects.
LIV Developers has delivered hundreds of units across its completed projects in Dubai Marina. As of late 2025, the company has announced that 640 apartments across its active portfolio are due for delivery within 12 months, with a total residential pipeline value of approximately AED 2.3 billion. LIV operates as a boutique developer, so delivery volumes are intentionally smaller and more curated than large-scale developers.
LIV Developers, DAMAC, and Emaar each serve different market segments. LIV is a boutique developer with a narrow, ultra-premium waterfront focus — smaller in scale but highly curated. DAMAC operates at a much larger scale with thousands of units annually, branded residences, and master-planned communities. Emaar is one of Dubai’s largest developers, responsible for iconic infrastructure like Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina itself. LIV appeals to buyers seeking exclusive, location-specific boutique residences rather than large community living.
