Founded in 2004 in Dubai, Seven Tides is a privately‑owned luxury real estate developer and holding company known for crafting meticulously planned residential, commercial, resort, hospitality and even educational assets . Over two decades the firm has delivered several landmark developments across Dubai and expanded into London, including the iconic DUKES Hotel in St. James’s, Mayfair, along with high‑end residences and mixed‑use precincts.

The company was founded under the leadership of Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, the chairman of DP World Group, and thereafter has been directed operationally by figures like Ghanim Bin Sulayem as Director of Operations . Seven Tides celebrated its 20th anniversary in July 2024, marking completion of over ten major projects totaling more than 13 million square feet—delivered on time even through major economic challenges like the 2009 credit crunch and the COVID‑19 pandemic.

What distinguishes Seven Tides is its forward‑thinking, partner‑centric and swift approach, emphasizing design excellence, operational resilience, and long‑term client relationships . Its offerings span luxury hospitality brands, residential towers on Palm Jumeirah and Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT), plus a British‑curriculum school—Dubai Heights Academy.
