Select Group
Upper-mid to luxury, waterfront towers. Privately owned. Founded by Rahail Aslam, chairman since 2024.
My view
A long-standing Marina and Business Bay developer with completed towers you can walk around before you buy. That makes the due diligence easier.
What I check hardest: How the developer's completed towers nearby are renting and reselling today.

Check a developer's project registration and escrow with the Dubai Land Department (or the relevant emirate) before you pay anything.

What I check before any Select Group purchase
- The payment plan. What each instalment is tied to, and what happens if a milestone slips.
- The escrow account. That your payments go into the project's regulated escrow account.
- The record. Past handovers on time, build quality and how snagging was handled.
- The numbers. Price per square foot against comparable projects, service charges and likely rent.
- Your exit. Resale rules, any developer approval needed, and fees on the way out. See the fees guide.
