ONE Development

ONE Development is a boutique Dubai‑based real estate developer and construction firm founded by Ali Al Gebely, whose vision centers on delivering modern, tech-driven urban living – a mission summed up by their mantra, “Inspired by You.” They design everything from first sketches through final delivery, integrating development, construction, and project-management under one roof.

Their flagship, Laguna Residence, launched in late 2024 as the UAE’s first fully AI-integrated residential community. It features a sandy lagoon, panoramic Dubai skyline views, over 40 high-end amenities, and sold out its first phase in under a month – underlining both local and global investor confidence. That momentum is backed by industry accolades: in 2025, they were named Innovative Real Estate Developer of the Year.
Strategic collaborations broaden their appeal – in early 2025 they appointed Amr Diab, the Arabic music icon, as brand ambassador, and even brought on Kevin O’Leary as a global face. The company operates from offices in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, while also engaging international partners – for instance, targeting Chinese buyers for Laguna Residence.

Key differentiators include a deeply customer-centric approach, seamless AI-driven living, and a vertically integrated model spanning land acquisition to build completion. Founder Ali Al Gebely brings multi-sector expertise (including energy and hospitality) and has quickly elevated the firm’s profile – earning a spot on Construction Week Middle East’s 2025 “Power 150” most influential list.
