Renaissance Residences
The first Renaissance branded residences in the United Arab Emirates — announced by Global Partners Ltd with Marriott International, at Dubai Creek Gardens in Al Jaddaf.
Renaissance Residences, Dubai Creek Gardens
In March 2026, Global Partners Ltd announced two branded residential projects with Marriott International on Dubai Creek. One carries the Westin name. The other is Renaissance Residences — the first time the Renaissance brand has been attached to a home anywhere in the UAE.
Both sit inside Dubai Creek Gardens, a masterplan of more than 127,000 square metres in Dubai Healthcare City Phase 2, on the Al Jaddaf bank of the creek. Global Partners secured the land through an off-market acquisition and has given roughly seventy per cent of it to landscaped gardens and open space — a deliberately low-density plan of low-rise buildings angled toward Downtown Dubai, the creek and the parkland between.
Marriott and Global Partners describe the two brands as a pair rather than a repetition. Westin is positioned around wellness. Renaissance is positioned around expression and cultural immersion — the brand's long-standing interest in the character of the neighbourhood it lands in, brought to Al Jaddaf, which happens to be the oldest working waterfront in the city.

A Masterplan Built Around Its Gardens
Dubai Creek Gardens gives roughly seventy per cent of its site to landscape. What follows is what Global Partners and Marriott have described of the community — the residence-level amenity schedule is published at launch.
-
The Gardens
Around 70% of the 127,000+ sqm site is given to landscaped gardens and open space — the figure that makes the low-rise, low-density plan possible.
-
Creek Frontage
Direct waterfront access on Dubai Creek is part of the stated plan, with buildings positioned to hold views of the water, Downtown Dubai and the parkland between.
-
Wellness at the Centre
The community is to be anchored by world-class health and wellness facilities, alongside sports and recreational provision. Pictured: Renaissance Honolulu, for brand context.
-
A Walkable Realm
A public realm meant to be walked rather than driven, integrating living, working and leisure, and complemented by luxury hotels. Pictured: Renaissance Honolulu, for brand context.

Connected
Al Jaddaf reaches the airport, DIFC and Downtown in well under fifteen minutes, with the upcoming Etihad Rail, a future Metro station and the RTA water taxi all cited for the community.
Al Jaddaf means “the rower.” The district was named for the men who built and rowed Dubai’s wooden dhows here from the early 1900s — and it is still one of the few places in the city where those boats are made by hand.
Renaissance Residences Al Jaddaf
Al Jaddaf sits on the Bur Dubai bank of Dubai Creek, between the old commercial quarters and Dubai Festival City. It is one of the few central Dubai districts still filling in — and it is roughly equidistant from the airport, the financial district and Downtown.

Adjoining the masterplan
Road access is via Sheikh Rashid Road, Oud Metha Road and Al Khail Road. Drive times are typical off-peak estimates for the Al Jaddaf district, not developer commitments. Global Partners and Marriott additionally cite the upcoming Etihad Rail, a future Metro station and the RTA water taxi — planned infrastructure with no confirmed opening dates.
Dubai Creek Gardens
Global Partners describes Dubai Creek Gardens as a fully integrated residential district built around walkability, green space and direct access to the water — its second fund-backed development in the UAE, from a Fund II that has exceeded US$300 million.
The site is more than 127,000 square metres in Dubai Healthcare City Phase 2, acquired off-market. Around seventy per cent of it is planned as landscaped gardens and open space, which is what makes the low-rise, low-density approach possible: buildings are positioned to hold views of Downtown Dubai, Dubai Creek and the parkland rather than to maximise storeys.
The wider community is to be anchored by health and wellness facilities and complemented by luxury hotels and a public realm meant to be walked rather than driven. The immediate neighbours are already established — Kempinski Residences The Creek, The Ritz-Carlton Residences and the Swiss International Scientific School in Dubai.

What a launch usually settles
These are the questions the developer answers on launch day. None of them has an answer yet for Renaissance Residences — they are listed so you know exactly what to ask for, and what to be sceptical of if someone offers it early.
-
01
Unit mix and sizes
Bedroom counts, layouts and floor areas. The masterplan is low-rise and low-density, which usually implies larger floorplates and fewer units per storey — but nothing about the Renaissance mix has been stated.
-
02
Price and payment plan
A launch price list, a per-square-foot rate and an instalment schedule. Dubai branded residences typically carry a premium over unbranded stock in the same district; the size of it here is unknown.
-
03
The service package
What the Renaissance licence actually delivers day to day — concierge, housekeeping, residence management, hotel access — and what the service charge for it will be.
-
04
Handover
A construction start and a completion quarter. Dubai Creek Gardens is scheduled for official launch in 2026; no handover horizon has been attached to the Renaissance component.
-
05
Registration and escrow
The DLD project number and the escrow account the payments run through. Both are public records once a project is registered, and both are worth checking before any transfer.
-
06
Design team and drawings
The architect and interior designer have not been named, and no dimensioned elevations or unit-level plans have been released. Imagery in circulation is indicative of the design intent rather than a specification.
-
A first for the UAE
Renaissance Residences is the first residential project in the country to carry the Renaissance name — announced alongside the first Westin residences, both within the same masterplan.
-
Expression over uniformity
Marriott and Global Partners position the Renaissance component around cultural immersion and character, deliberately set against the wellness-centred Westin residences beside it.
-
Seventy per cent green
Around 70% of the 127,000+ sqm site goes to landscaped gardens and open space — the single most specific figure released about the masterplan, and the one that shapes everything else in it.
-
A central creek address
Dubai Healthcare City Phase 2 in Al Jaddaf puts the airport, DIFC and Downtown all inside a quarter of an hour, with direct waterfront access on the creek itself.
-
Licensed, not developed, by Marriott
Marriott does not own, develop or sell these residences. Global Partners Property Fund II (CEIC) Limited and GP Real Estate Development LLC use the Renaissance trademark under licence — a distinction worth knowing before you buy.
