Dubai, UAE — Symbolic Developments, the real estate arm of Speedex Group, handed over its debut project Symbolic Alpha in Liwan in just 14 months, an AED 150 million development with 97 upscale smart apartments.
The developer described this as a benchmark for speed and quality in accessible luxury residences. This early success fueled demand in Liwan, where property prices rose 24-25% and gross rental yields averaged 6.32% over recent months.
The company doubled its 2025 launches with Symbolic Zen Residences in Al Furjan and Symbolic Altus in Liwan, tapping into mid-market demand. Al Furjan offers competitive rental yields of 7-8.5%, driven by metro access and family amenities, while Liwan benefits from Dubailand’s growth. Dubai’s off-plan sales hit AED 68 billion in Q2 2025 alone, up 28% year-on-year, per Chestertons MENA, with primary market transactions rising 26.5% in H1.
Investor Returns Validate Strategy
Symbolic Alpha buyers reported 9% rental yields and resale offers 33% above entry prices, according to the developer. In Al Furjan’s Symbolic Aura, under-construction units saw 20-25% value appreciation.

“2025 was the year we demonstrated that prioritizing our residents creates positive ripple effects throughout the entire ecosystem,” said Mustafa Moiz, Managing Director of Symbolic Developments. “When a Symbolic Alpha homeowner earns a 9% rental yield or secures a resale offer 33% above their entry price, it confirms we are building what people actually want.”
Dubai’s residential market posted 10% annual price growth through Q3 2025, with 56,854 home sales worth $31.8 billion, Knight Frank reported. Off-plan properties dominated at 63-67% of transactions, fueled by flexible payments and yields of 6-8% citywide. Liwan and Al Furjan align with mid-luxury trends, where studios in Al Furjan yield up to 8.51%.
Appeal for Indian Investors
Indian investors favor Dubai for tax-free returns, 6-8% yields, and Golden Visas on AED 2 million+ purchases, with direct flights easing access. No capital gains or rental taxes apply, only a 4% DLD fee, making off-plan buys like Symbolic projects attractive for NRIs seeking 20-30% appreciation. Developers note strong NRI interest in family-oriented, Vaastu-compliant units.
