Wedyan – The Canal is the debut masterpiece of Al Ghurair Collection and the first residential project in Dubai by the internationally acclaimed studio Kengo Kuma & Associates. Rising forty-six storeys directly on the Dubai Water Canal in Business Bay, Wedyan reimagines the ultra-prime tower not as a monument of height and glass but as a living, breathing form inspired by the raw beauty of Middle Eastern valleys, canyons and shorelines. Its fluid, layered contours draw the surrounding landscape upward, softening the skyline and creating a building that feels grown rather than built.
Kengo Kuma’s philosophy of architecture in harmony with nature is expressed throughout, from the tactile, organic materiality of the facade to interiors that prioritise softness, flow and natural light over ostentation. The result is a rare kind of luxury: calm, sensory and deeply human. With just one hundred and forty-nine low-density residences across forty-six floors, Wedyan offers a level of space, privacy and exclusivity almost unheard of on the canal front.
The collection comprises expansive three-, four- and five-bedroom residences, a limited selection of penthouses and a singular Sky Villa, with homes ranging from approximately 6,600 square feet to more than 43,000 square feet. Every residence enjoys direct canal or skyline views, generous private terraces and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Interiors are delivered to the highest specification, with bespoke joinery, natural stone and timber finishes, and layouts that separate living, private and service functions with quiet precision.
Residents are served by a curated programme of wellness, leisure and hospitality amenities, including canal-front pools, a spa and wellness sanctuary, private dining and lounge spaces, landscaped gardens and dedicated concierge services. The location, on the Dubai Water Canal in the heart of Business Bay, places Downtown Dubai, DIFC and the city’s finest dining and retail within minutes, while the waterfront promenade offers a rare sense of tranquillity at the centre of the city.
Wedyan is offered with a phased payment plan of twenty-five per cent on booking, thirty-five per cent across construction milestones and forty per cent on handover, which is anticipated in the first quarter of 2030. Positioned firmly within Dubai’s ultra-prime segment, and backed by the scarcity of an architect-led, low-density canal-front tower, Wedyan represents a genuinely collectible address for the most discerning buyers.

Few addresses in Dubai combine architectural pedigree, waterfront rarity and legacy-developer strength in the way Wedyan does. Kengo Kuma & Associates is among the most celebrated architectural practices in the world, and Wedyan is its first residential statement in the emirate, an intrinsic driver of long-term desirability and value. The building’s low density means residents enjoy fewer neighbours, larger homes and a private-estate atmosphere rarely possible in a central location, while the protected canal frontage guarantees that its views and light can never be built out.
For the ultra-high-net-worth buyer, Wedyan offers both a sanctuary and an asset. Ultra-prime, architect-led residences have consistently proven the most resilient segment of the Dubai market, and the combination of scarcity, brand and location positions Wedyan to perform accordingly. Whether acquired as a principal residence, a discreet seasonal home or a trophy investment, ownership here represents entry into one of the most exclusive residential communities the city has produced.
