JAD Global: a coherent wellness idea, priced low, and three completion dates nobody has published
A Dubai developer with four published projects between AED 980,288 and AED 1.7 million, a senior board and a consistent design argument. It also has no project records at all on the listing portal, and only one of its four buildings publishes the two terms that decide an off-plan purchase — when you pay, and when you get the keys.

About JAD Global
JAD Global Real Estate Development is a Dubai developer built around a single argument: that wellness — described as mind, body, spirit and wealth — should be the foundation of a building rather than a feature added to it. Every project it publishes is marketed through that idea, most of them with the word “neuroarchitecture” attached.
It is a young company with a senior team. The website leads with “89 years of combined leadership experience” and “20+ major developments completed” — both are claims about the people rather than the company, and neither is itemised anywhere on the site. The board includes Ahmed Saeed Al Raqbani, managing director of East Coast Group and chairman of Fujairah Building Industries, and the chief executive is Mohammad Al Sheikh; the general manager, Omar Subhi, has more than 30 years in real estate and investment.
Four projects, all published, three of them live. JAD288 in Jumeirah Garden City (288 studios to two-bedrooms, from AED 980,288, 60/40, completion Q1 2028), J188 in Al Jaddaf (one- and two-bedrooms from AED 1,196,188, ground broken July 2026), 171 Garden Heights in Jumeirah Garden City (171 homes, launched October 2024, now sold out) and Wadi 645 in Majan (studios to two-bedrooms, co-developed with Greenside Development, listed as limited units).
The listing portal knows the company but not its buildings. JAD Global has a developer page on the portal — with a company description and the same 89-year and 20-project lines — but no project records at all. Every price, plan and date on this site therefore comes from the developer’s own website, and unlike the last two developers we have covered, there is no second source to check it against. That makes the questions on this page more important, not less.
The published numbers do not quite agree with each other. The about page says AED 1 billion under development and AED 1.2 billion under design; the newsroom, five months later, describes a portfolio of approximately AED 2.18 billion. Those can be reconciled if the two buckets are added — but the same newsroom piece lists the company’s active locations as Jumeirah Garden City, Al Jaddaf and Jumeirah Village Circle, while the portal description and the project list say Majan. There is no JVC project published anywhere on JAD’s site.
The documentation is thin where it matters most. Only JAD288 publishes a completion date and a payment plan. J188 publishes prices but no handover and no plan. 171 Garden Heights publishes neither. Wadi 645 publishes neither and no price either. No project publishes floor areas, so no price per square foot can be calculated on any of them, and none publishes a service charge estimate.
The honest read. A serious, well-connected team selling a coherent design idea at the affordable end of the Dubai market, with three of its four projects still missing the two terms that decide an off-plan purchase: when you pay, and when you get the keys. Buy the first project where those are in the contract — JAD288 is the closest — and treat the rest as prices without schedules until the developer issues them.
JAD Global projects on this site
Four on the developer’s own website, each with a page here. None is on the listing portal.
JAD288
From AED 980,288 · 60/40 plan
171 Garden Heights
No price or handover published
Wadi 645
No price, plan or date published
JAD288 is the best documented: 288 studios to two-bedrooms across three buildings, from AED 980,288, 60/40, completion Q1 2028. J188 publishes prices — from AED 1,196,188 — but no handover or plan, on a site that broke ground in July 2026. 171 Garden Heights is sold out with no price, plan or date published. Wadi 645 is a joint venture with Greenside Development and publishes none of the three. Two of the four sit in Jumeirah Garden City, which has no community page on this site yet; J188 is on the Al Jaddaf page and Wadi 645 on the Majan page.
What distinguishes JAD Global
Wellness as the design brief
Every project is built around the same idea – light, air, materials and spatial flow treated as health decisions rather than finishes. It is a real design position, and it makes the buildings easier to compare with each other.
Priced at the accessible end
Studios from AED 980,288 at JAD288 and one-bedrooms from AED 1,196,188 at J188 sit well below the Creek-side average for new build. This is not a luxury developer; it is a volume developer with a premium argument.
A senior board, a young company
The team’s combined experience is the headline on the website, and the board includes the managing director of East Coast Group. What the company itself has completed is not itemised – only 171 Garden Heights is presented as sold out.
Construction has genuinely started
J188 broke ground in July 2026 and JAD288 in March 2026 with Al Safa Contracting appointed as main contractor. Those are dated, checkable milestones, which is more than many launches offer.
Two of four projects are joint ventures or partnerships
Wadi 645 names Greenside Development as co-developer and Deyaar and Harbor Real Estate as partners. That changes who signs your contract and who holds the escrow – ask before you assume JAD is the counterparty.
No completion date on three of four
Only JAD288 publishes a handover quarter. J188, 171 Garden Heights and Wadi 645 publish none, and no project publishes floor areas or a service charge estimate.
Buying a JAD Global home: what to check
When a developer publishes a price but not a schedule, the paperwork is the risk. These are the items to have in writing before you reserve.
The completion date in the sale and purchase agreement, with a delay clause and compensation.
The payment plan with dates and amounts – published for JAD288 only.
A unit schedule with net and gross square footage, so price per foot can be calculated.
Which legal entity is your counterparty, especially on Wadi 645.
The project-specific escrow account and its Dubai Land Department registration.
The current DLD permit and the main contractor’s completion programme.
The service charge estimate per square foot, and what the amenities cost to run.
Whether ‘turnkey furnished’ includes the furniture pack, and at what replacement value.
Where each named amenity physically sits – floor and building.
The metro walk, timed from the building rather than the sales gallery, at 8am.
What is built, under construction and still empty land within 500 metres.
For 171 Garden Heights: that the building was completed, handed over and separately titled.
JAD Global frequently asked questions
Who is JAD Global?
JAD Global Real Estate Development is a Dubai developer focused on residential and mixed-use projects, with four published developments: J188 in Al Jaddaf, JAD288 and 171 Garden Heights in Jumeirah Garden City, and Wadi 645 in Majan. Its chief executive is Mohammad Al Sheikh.
How many projects does JAD Global have on the portal?
None. The listing portal has a JAD Global developer page with a company description, but carries no project records at all – no prices, layouts, plans or handover dates. Everything published here comes from the developer’s own website.
How big is JAD Global?
The company describes 89 years of combined leadership experience and more than 20 completed major developments, and its own figures put the portfolio at about AED 2.18 billion across development and design. The site does not itemise the 20 completed projects, and only 171 Garden Heights is presented as sold out.
Which JAD Global projects have prices?
JAD288 from AED 980,288 for a studio, and J188 from AED 1,196,188 for a one-bedroom and AED 1.7 million for a two-bedroom. 171 Garden Heights and Wadi 645 publish no prices, and 171 Garden Heights is sold out.
Which have a completion date?
Only JAD288, at Q1 2028. J188, 171 Garden Heights and Wadi 645 publish no handover date, and no project publishes floor areas, so price per square foot cannot be calculated on any of them.
What is the payment plan?
JAD288 publishes a 60/40 plan – 60% before handover and 40% at it. J188 refers to ‘a flexible payment plan’ without figures, and the other two publish nothing.
What is Wadi 645’s relationship to JAD Global?
It is a joint project: JAD Global describes it as ‘by Greenside Development and Jad Global’, with Deyaar and Harbor Real Estate named as partners. That makes the contracting entity and escrow arrangement the first questions to ask.
Where does JAD Global build?
Al Jaddaf, Jumeirah Garden City and Majan according to the portal and its project list. Its own newsroom also names Jumeirah Village Circle as an active location, but no JVC project is published on the site.
Are JAD Global homes freehold?
The projects are described as residential developments in freehold districts and the company markets to international buyers, but neither the site nor the portal states the tenure of each unit. Confirm separate title for the specific unit at the Dubai Land Department.
Is JAD Global a good developer to buy from?
The design proposition is coherent and the team is senior, and two projects have dated ground-breakings with a named main contractor. The caution is documentation: three of four projects have no published completion date, none publishes floor areas or service charges, and the portal carries no project records to cross-check against. Buy the contract, not the brochure.
How do I buy through you?
Tell us the project and budget. We will get a dated price list, a unit schedule with square footage, the payment plan and the contract completion date, confirm the contracting entity, escrow and DLD registration, and give you our honest read – including the case against.

Sources and verification. Unit ranges, starting prices, payment plans, amenities, construction milestones, contractor appointments and location claims come from JAD Global’s own website — its four project pages and its newsroom. The company description, the “89 years of combined leadership” and “20+ major developments completed” lines and the AED 1 billion / AED 1.2 billion figures come from the same site and from the listing portal’s developer page. Committed to publication: the listing portal carries no project records for JAD Global, so nothing here has a second source to check it against; only JAD288 publishes a completion date (Q1 2028) and a payment plan (60/40), while J188, 171 Garden Heights and Wadi 645 publish neither; no project publishes floor areas or a service charge estimate; the newsroom’s “approximately AED 2.18 billion” portfolio does not sit neatly with the about page’s AED 1 billion under development plus AED 1.2 billion under design, and its list of active locations names Jumeirah Village Circle where the portal and the project list say Majan; “20+ completed major developments” is not itemised anywhere. Nothing on this page is a valuation or a promise of return.
