A 40-storey Zaha Hadid Architects tower at Meydan Horizon, MBR City
The Symphony is a 40-storey mixed-use tower at Meydan Horizon in Mohammed Bin Rashid City, Dubai, developed by Imtiaz Developments and designed in collaboration with Zaha Hadid Architects - the Pritzker Prize-winning practice founded by the late Dame Zaha Hadid. It is the first residential collaboration between Imtiaz and Zaha Hadid Architects, and one of a small number of buildings in Dubai to carry the studio's authorship at a residential scale.
The building's defining gesture is a sculptural exoskeleton: a rhythmic lattice of cantilevered frames that wraps the tower, deepening into planted sky terraces and a crowned summit of rooftop pools and gardens. Rather than a flat curtain wall, the facade is articulated as a series of stacked, offset volumes that give every residence a generous outdoor room and an oblique line of sight toward Downtown Dubai and the Ras Al Khor wetlands. The interiors - fully furnished and delivered branded - are conceived as a continuous material language of warm stone, fluted timber, and bronze, carried from the double-height lobbies through to the private residences.
The tower stands within Meydan Horizon, a master-planned waterfront district organised around four crystal lagoons, a 2-kilometre canal, and a 4-kilometre promenade, set directly against the protected expanse of the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. The neighbours here are not amenities but permanence arguments: a Ramsar-protected flamingo sanctuary that cannot be built on, and a contiguous waterfront masterplan held by a single master developer. This is not simply an apartment in a new district. It is an authored building on a protected horizon that the city has committed to keeping open.
The experience of The Symphony is defined by the depth of its outdoor space. Where most Dubai towers offer a shallow balcony, the exoskeleton here creates fully proportioned terraces - outdoor rooms framed by the building's structure, planted and shaded, that extend the living area into the open air and toward the skyline. Light enters through floor-to-ceiling glazing on every elevation, and the offset geometry of the facade means no two residences read the same view in quite the same way.
Inside, the branded interior is restrained rather than decorative: a palette of pale stone, chevron and herringbone timber floors, fluted joinery, and bronze detailing that lets the architecture and the view remain the subject. Kitchens are integrated and open-plan; primary suites are organised around glass-walled bathrooms with freestanding tubs set against the city; duplex residences are connected by sculptural spiral stairs beneath double-height glazing. The intent is a home that feels calm and complete on delivery, not a shell to be finished.
The result is a tower that treats the threshold between inside and outside as the primary luxury - a building you live across, not merely within.
The Symphony occupies a positioning gap that is structurally difficult to reproduce. First, architectural authorship: Zaha Hadid Architects has completed very few residential buildings in Dubai, and a tower carrying the studio's design language is a finite category rather than a repeatable product. Second, location irreversibility: the building faces the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, a Ramsar-protected wetland that cannot be developed, guaranteeing the open horizon in perpetuity. Third, master-plan permanence: Meydan Horizon is a single-developer waterfront district of lagoons and promenades whose infrastructure is already committed, not speculative. Fourth, product scarcity: fully furnished, branded residences with usable outdoor terraces and direct Golden Visa eligibility sit at the intersection of several buyer requirements at once.
This is not simply a branded tower. It is an authored building on a protected horizon - a combination the market cannot easily manufacture again.
The Symphony is positioned where three durable Dubai dynamics intersect: sustained international demand for freehold product, a structural premium for design-led and branded residences, and a supply-constrained waterfront address. Meydan and MBR City have absorbed strong off-plan demand on the strength of their proximity to Downtown and Ras Al Khor, and the protected sanctuary frontage limits the volume of comparable open-horizon inventory that can ever be delivered here.
Ownership is freehold and open to all nationalities, with the AED 2,000,000 entry price meeting the threshold for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa. Dubai levies no annual property tax and no capital gains tax; registration is subject to the standard 4% Dubai Land Department fee. The 60/40 construction-to-handover payment structure spreads capital commitment across the build period to a Q2 2029 completion. No specific return projections are implied.
Imtiaz Developments is a Dubai-based developer with a portfolio exceeding AED 10 billion and more than 2,000 delivered homes, operating a fully integrated model that keeps design, construction, joinery, aluminium and glass, and property management in-house. The company has built a reputation for delivery discipline, with the large majority of its projects completing on or ahead of schedule. The Symphony, an approximately AED 1 billion development, is Imtiaz's first collaboration with Zaha Hadid Architects, pairing the developer's in-house delivery capability with one of the world's most recognised architectural practices.
The Zaha Hadid Architects partnership is a design authorship at the level of the building itself - its structure, massing, and facade - rather than a surface branding arrangement.

Meydan Horizon is a master-planned waterfront district within Mohammed Bin Rashid City, set in the Bu Kadra area at the edge of the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary - a Ramsar-protected wetland known for its resident flamingo population. Developed by the Meydan Group, the district is organised around four crystal lagoons, a 2-kilometre canal, and a 4-kilometre waterfront promenade linking parks, retail, and leisure zones. Its position at the intersection of the Ras Al Khor Road and Dubai-Al Ain Road places it within a short drive of Downtown Dubai while preserving an open, protected horizon that more central districts cannot offer.
The appeal of Meydan Horizon is the balance it strikes: a waterfront, low-density character set against a protected nature reserve, within minutes of the city's primary retail, business, and aviation infrastructure. For buyers who want proximity to Downtown without its density - and a view that is guaranteed to remain open - the district occupies an unusual middle ground in the Dubai market.
The Symphony is designed in collaboration with Zaha Hadid Architects, the Pritzker Prize-winning practice, and is Imtiaz Developments' first residential project with the studio. Its defining feature is a sculptural cantilevered exoskeleton that turns conventional balconies into deep, planted outdoor rooms and crowns the tower with rooftop pools and gardens. Unlike a licensed brand applied to a standard building, this is architectural authorship at the level of the structure, massing, and facade. Very few residential towers in Dubai carry Zaha Hadid Architects' design language, which makes it a finite rather than repeatable category.
The Symphony sits in Meydan Horizon, a master-planned waterfront district in the Bu Kadra area of Mohammed Bin Rashid City, directly beside the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary. The sanctuary is a Ramsar-protected wetland that cannot be developed, which guarantees an open horizon in perpetuity - a rare assurance in a fast-building city. The district itself is organised around four crystal lagoons, a 2 km canal, and a 4 km promenade. Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa, and The Dubai Mall are each roughly 15 minutes away, with Dubai International Airport about 20 minutes by road.
The residential collection includes Master 1-Bedroom Suites, 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom apartments, and exclusive 4-bedroom duplex penthouses, with interior areas from approximately 650 sqft to 4,244 sqft. The tower contains 290 residences in total, alongside 84 Grade A offices and 7 retail units. All homes are delivered fully furnished with branded interiors, floor-to-ceiling glazing, open-plan layouts, and smart-home systems. Detailed floor plans and unit-specific availability are provided on request.
The Symphony is freehold under UAE property law and available to all nationalities, individuals and corporate entities. With a starting price of AED 2,000,000, the entry-level residences meet the threshold for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa, which extends residency to the owner and qualifying family members. Registration is subject to the standard 4% Dubai Land Department fee. Dubai levies no annual property tax and no capital gains tax on residential property.
The project is offered on a 60/40 payment plan - 60% across the construction period and 40% on handover - with completion anticipated in the second quarter of 2029. This structure spreads the capital commitment across the build rather than concentrating it at purchase. Exact milestone schedules and any prevailing launch incentives should be confirmed directly, as availability and terms can change between release phases.
The amenity programme spans wellness, leisure, and work. It includes adult and children's swimming pools, a fully equipped gym and a separate outdoor gym, a yoga studio, and a sauna and steam suite, along with an observatory deck, clubhouse, library, residents' lounge and bar, and a padel court. Outdoor zones include landscaped gardens, BBQ areas, fire pits, cabanas, sun decks, and lagoon-view terraces. As a mixed-use building, it also incorporates Grade A office floors and curated retail, alongside multipurpose gathering and co-working spaces.

Imtiaz runs a fully integrated model, keeping design, construction, joinery, aluminium and glass, and property management in-house, and has a track record of completing the majority of its projects on or ahead of schedule. The Symphony, an approximately AED 1 billion development, is the company's first collaboration with Zaha Hadid Architects.
