Overview
Wedyan is a 46-storey ultra-prime residential tower planned on the Dubai Canal in Business Bay. It is the first project of the Al Ghurair Collection, the super-prime portfolio of Al Ghurair Development, and the first building in the UAE designed by the Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. The name means 'valleys': the layered, planted facade is meant to recall desert dunes and wadis rather than the glass-and-steel skyline around it. The developer describes 149 residences of three to five bedrooms, two full-floor penthouses and a three-storey sky villa, with more than 65,000 sq ft of amenity space spread over named levels (The Oasis, The Shore, The Valley, The Cave and The Mountain), a climate-controlled car stacker and Japanese teahouse-inspired pavilions attached to selected homes. Dubai Land Department registered the project (no. 4071) in September 2025 with a planned start in March 2026 and planned completion in September 2029; at the latest inspection on 26 August 2026 the registered progress was still 0%, so this is an off-plan project, not a finished building. The developer shows a starting price of AED 26 million and a 60/40 payment plan; brokers quote handover dates from Q3 2029 to Q1 2030, which is not confirmed by the developer. All images on this page are developer renders. No resale sales or rent contracts exist yet.

Expert analysis
Mr Amlak's reading of the sources listed on this page. It is not a rating or an opinion of the Dubai Land Department.
Strengths
Wedyan brings a Kengo Kuma design to Dubai Canal: a facade unlike the glass towers around it, about 4 minutes' drive to Burj Khalifa and a Business Bay metro station roughly 1 km away, a very large amenity programme and big 3-5 bedroom homes.
Based on: developer page, DLD, geo distancesWeaknesses
A starting price of AED 26M targets only ultra-prime buyers. The unit count is small, the plan is published only as '60/40' and the developer has not published a handover date.
Based on: developer pageInvestment opportunities
It is the first project of a new brand and nothing is built, so no registered sales exist yet to compare price per sq ft. Once the first DLD transactions appear, real prices can be compared with the Business Bay median. No return is implied.
Based on: DLD open data shows no registered Wedyan rowsInvestment risks
Off-plan risks: DLD still records 0% progress, sources differ on handover (September 2029 vs. Q1 2030), and service charges are unknown. Price and payment plan should be confirmed directly with the developer.
Based on: DLD progress rows, broker listingsMarket reading
Business Bay is central Dubai beside the canal and Downtown. Wedyan has no registered price per sq ft, rent or transaction yet; only the developer's starting price (AED 26M) exists, which can be read against the area's monthly median shown on this page.
Based on: DLD open data, developer pageConclusion
Wedyan is an off-plan, ultra-prime, low-unit-count project on Dubai Canal. Its identity (DLD no. 4071, developer, architect) is confirmed, but construction has not started and price, plan and handover need confirmation from the developer. No profit or price growth is implied.
