Ora Developers, an international property developer, has unveiled Bayn, a masterplan spanning 4.8 million square metres in Ghantoot. The first phase, slated for handover in 2028, will see the development of 464 residences, spread across four gated clusters, offering 10 distinct typologies, with a selection of three- to five-bedroom villas and townhouses.
As a coastal community, Bayn features 1.2 kilometres of Arabian Gulf beachfront and over seven kilometres of waterfront living, framed by 9,000 residences, including mansions, villas, townhouses, and apartments. The community is further activated by a beach town, lagoons, a marina, a business park, and multiple promenades.
Eng. Naguib Sawiris, Chairman and CEO of Ora Developers, said, “Our vision with Bayn is to create a destination that enhances how people experience time and space. We are bringing together the best of both worlds: the dynamism of city living and the calm of a coastal retreat. By investing in sustainable infrastructure, walkable neighbourhoods, and high-quality amenities, we’re not just building homes—we’re shaping an environment where people can truly flourish. We look forward to seeing Bayn evolve into one of the UAE’s most sought-after addresses—one that enriches every moment.”
More than 55 percent of Bayn’s land area is dedicated to open space, including one million square metres of public parks, landscaped pathways, and outdoor activity zones featuring gyms, padel courts, BBQ areas, and playgrounds. Bayn also hosts an expansive sports club, covering over 100,000 square metres. This facility is designed to cater to both professional athletes and families, offering a comprehensive range of sports and recreational activities. A network of pedestrian, cycling, and running trails connects high-energy social hub such as the marina promenade to quieter enclaves designed for relaxation and wellness. Residents of Phase 1 will enjoy a club house, and a curated mix of F&B and retail experiences.
Furthermore, Bayn embraces the compact-city philosophy, integrating schools, retail, sports, leisure, and wellness facilities, all accessible within 15 minutes.
Bayn’s design is inspired by the site’s natural history. Preliminary insights suggest that the land may have once been shaped by waterways, a concept that has influenced the master plan, reintroducing water as a defining element.
The community is built on principles of responsible development, integrating smart, sustainable solutions at every level. Solar-powered energy systems reduce reliance on traditional power sources. A landscape designed with native greenery enhances the environment while supporting sustainable water use. Smart water and waste management systems enhance environmental efficiency. Building orientations maximise natural light and airflow, reducing cooling demands.
These elements contribute to a lower carbon footprint and an enhanced quality of life, aligning with the UAE’s long-term sustainability agenda.
Strategically located between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, Bayn is offers seamless access to both the emirates, with direct connectivity to Sheikh Maktoum Bin Rashid Road, Al Fayah Road, El Sheikh Zayed Road, and Mohamed Bin Zayed road — placing residents just 35 minutes from Downtown Dubai and 45 minutes from Abu Dhabi’s city centre.
Future infrastructure projects, including the Etihad GCC Railway and airport expansions, further elevate Bayn’s strategic positioning, while its proximity to major developments like Palm Jebel Ali and Dubai South makes it a compelling investment destination.
