About SOL Properties

SOL Properties is the development arm of the Bhatia group, the family business behind Bhatia General Contracting Company (BGCC), which was established in 1975. That origin matters more than most developer backstories: SOL builds through its own contracting business, which reports more than 250 delivered developments, a workforce of over 10,000 and fifty years of construction across residential, hospitality, commercial and government work. The developer’s own positioning is ultra-luxury rather than volume. Its current pipeline runs from a mixed-use tower on Sheikh Zayed Road to townhouses in JVC, a Business Bay residential tower, beachfront apartments on Palm Jumeirah and a Fairmont-branded tower in Downtown Dubai. Alongside the residential work, the group has delivered hotels under Radisson and EDITION brands — unusual breadth for a developer of its size.

Where SOL Properties builds

SOL concentrates on established Dubai addresses rather than new master-planned districts.

  • Sheikh Zayed Road — SOL Luxe, a mixed-use tower combining residences and business space.
  • Downtown Dubai — Fairmont Residences Solara Tower, beside Burj Khalifa, Dubai Opera and The Dubai Mall.
  • Business Bay — SOL Bay, the group’s Business Bay residential tower, from AED 2M.
  • Jumeirah Village Circle — SOL Terra Casa (four-bedroom townhouses) and SOL Terra Gardens, both in District 11.
  • Jumeirah Village Triangle — SOL Levante, a wellness-led building with 50,000 sq ft of amenities.
  • Palm Jumeirah — Ocean House beachfront apartments, plus the Radisson Beach Resort.

How to read the portfolio

Two of the current projects are branded — Fairmont in Downtown, Radisson on the Palm — and the rest are SOL’s own label. The branded buildings carry hotel service standards and hotel-level service charges; the own-label ones compete on size, specification and address.

What distinguishes SOL Properties

Construction in-house

BGCC, the contracting business behind SOL, has been building since 1975 and reports more than 250 completed developments. A developer that builds its own towers has fewer places to hide when a handover slips.

Hospitality experience

SOL has delivered hotel projects, including the Radisson Beach Resort on Palm Jumeirah and The Dubai EDITION, and now sells Fairmont-branded residences. Branded buildings are judged on service standards, not just finishes.

A small, high-value pipeline

This is not a volume developer. The portfolio is a handful of buildings, each positioned as ultra-luxury — which usually means larger units, higher service charges and a narrower buyer pool.

Prime addresses rather than new districts

Downtown, Business Bay, Palm Jumeirah, Sheikh Zayed Road and JVC: SOL buys into established locations rather than gambling on new masterplans.

Buying a SOL Properties home: what to check

An ultra-luxury developer still has to be checked like any other. These are the items we verify before a client reserves.

The contractual handover date for the specific building, and the delay clause that backs it.
Whether the brand agreement is signed and for how long — a Fairmont name on a brochure is not the same as a Fairmont management contract.
The service charge estimate. Branded and ultra-luxury buildings run materially above the Dubai average.
Escrow account and DLD project registration before any booking payment.
For completed buildings, the actual service charge history and the resale record.
Price per square foot against comparable buildings in the same district — SOL prices at the top of its markets.
Who is actually building it. BGCC’s role should be visible in the contract, not just the marketing.

SOL Properties frequently asked questions

Who is SOL Properties?

The Dubai development arm of the Bhatia group, continuing the work of Bhatia General Contracting Company, which was established in 1975 and reports more than 250 delivered developments.

Is SOL Properties the same company as Bhatia General Contracting?

They are part of the same group. BGCC is the contracting business; SOL Properties develops and sells the residential, hospitality and mixed-use projects, building on BGCC’s construction record.

What projects does SOL Properties have in Dubai?

SOL Luxe on Sheikh Zayed Road, Fairmont Residences Solara Tower in Downtown Dubai, SOL Bay in Business Bay, Ocean House on Palm Jumeirah, SOL Levante in JVT, SOL Terra Casa and SOL Terra Gardens in JVC, and SOL Park — plus hotel projects including the Radisson Beach Resort Palm Jumeirah and The Dubai EDITION.

How much do SOL Properties apartments cost?

The developer publishes SOL Bay apartments from AED 2 million. Pricing for the other projects is released per building and per unit, so we confirm the current price list with the developer rather than quote launch figures.

Does SOL Properties build branded residences?

Yes. Fairmont Residences Solara Tower is branded by Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, part of Accor, and the group has delivered Radisson and EDITION hotel projects.

What should I check before buying a SOL Properties home?

The handover date and delay clause, the service charge estimate, escrow and DLD registration, and — for branded buildings — whether the management agreement is actually signed and how long it runs.
