United Arab Emirates – ORA Developers has marked noteworthy progress on Bayn, its flagship coastal community in Ghantoot, by starting enabling works on the 4.8-million-square-metre development and opening new sales centers in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

ORA Developers awarded an AED 142 million enabling works contract to NMDC. This marks the construction commencement and enables ORA to progress toward vertical construction for Phase 1 scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026. At peak activity, more than 5,000 professionals and workers are expected to be on site, reflecting the scale of the project.

Alongside construction progress, ORA Developers has opened Signature showrooms in Al Qana in Abu Dhabi and Jumeirah in Dubai. Designed with clear visitor journeys and defined zones, these showrooms allow guests to explore Bayn’s design language, masterplan, and lifestyle vision through a curated and engaging presentation. Reflecting ORA’s human-centric philosophy, the spaces provide an elevated experience that introduces the essence and character of Bayn without relying solely on traditional renders or static displays.

Amr Abdel Moneim, Chief Technical Officer at ORA Developers, said:

“Breaking ground marks a significant milestone that brings Bayn closer to reality. It follows a comprehensive period of planning, design development, and site investigations that ensured we began construction on solid foundations. Awarding the enabling works contract to NMDC provides us with the technical expertise and disciplined delivery needed as we move toward vertical construction. Our new Signature showrooms in Abu Dhabi and Dubai introduce customers to Bayn’s design and vision through a clear, curated experience that reflects the project’s character and ORA’s human-centric philosophy.”

Phase 1 includes approximately 805 villas and townhouses, offering 10 distinct typologies, with a selection of 3-8 bedrooms residences spread across four gated clusters, and is planned to start delivery by December 2028.

Since its launch in May 2025, Bayn has established itself as one of the UAE’s most anticipated new coastal destinations. Strategically located between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the project blends low-density residential living with resort-style amenities, a vibrant marina, sports facilities, and interconnected waterfront promenades.
