Accor to launch two new branded residential developments in Dubai

Accor, a world-leading hospitality group, and Cityview Developments, has signed an agreement with UAE-based Cityview Developments, to introduce two of its new branded developments in the emirate - Mövenpick Residences Dubai Motor City and Pullman Residences & Offices Dubai Meydan.

Together, these projects bring 690 branded residences to the partners’ Dubai portfolio, building on the success of Hyde Residences Dubai Hills and further expanding the partnership.

Each project marks a first for Accor. The Mövenpick Residences property will be the world’s first standalone Mövenpick Residences and the first branded residential development in Dubai Motor City, while Pullman Residences & Offices project will introduce Accor’s first-ever branded offices for sale globally, extending the Pullman brand into a new commercial real estate segment, said a statement from Accor.

Both developments are supported by Accor One Living, an innovative platform in the industry that offers a 360º approach to the development, design, and operation of mixed-use projects and branded residential communities.

Through Accor One Living, owners, guests, and partners are connected to Accor’s diverse ecosystem of brands, expertise, and solutions, creating a continuous flow of new opportunities to live, work, and enjoy, it stated.

Homeowners in both the properties will enjoy access to the Accor Owner Benefits Programme, including elevated status in the ALL Accor loyalty program and a range of privileges across participating Accor hotels and resorts worldwide.

Mövenpick Residences Dubai Motor City

Scheduled for completion and opening in 2028, the 408-residence development brings the service, standards and benefits of a globally recognised hospitality brand into one of Dubai’s established residential communities, reflecting the growing reach of branded living across a multitude of hospitality segments.

Designed for modern urban living, the development will offer a thoughtfully curated collection of studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom residences, said the statement from Accor. Rooted in Mövenpick’s spirit of generosity, it will bring the brand’s characterful hospitality into the home, with spaces and experiences designed to foster joyful reconnection and bring people closer together, reflecting Mövenpick’s belief in making ordinary moments extraordinary, said the hospitality major.

An extensive array of amenities is tailored to foster well-being and connection, including a state-of-the-art fitness centre, sophisticated indoor and outdoor lounges, padel court, expansive BBQ area, pet grooming area, dedicated kids club and multiple swimming pools.

Located in the heart of Dubai Motor City, the development introduces a new hospitality-led residential proposition to an established, family-oriented mixed-use community with existing residential, retail, dining and leisure infrastructure.

"Branded residences are evolving beyond the traditional luxury segment, opening new opportunities to bring hospitality-led living to a broader range of owners and communities," remarked Raki Phillips, Regional President for the Premium, Midscale and Economy division across the Middle East, Africa & Türkiye, at Accor.

"Mövenpick is particularly well positioned for this next phase, combining global brand recognition with an approachable premium brand rooted in joyful reconnection, generosity and a genuine sense of togetherness," stated Philips.

Daniel von Barloewen, Senior Vice President, Global Mixed-Use Development at Accor One Living, said: "We bring dedicated residential expertise to every stage of development, from concept and design through to the curation of services and operations."

"Working with our partners from the outset allows us to translate the strength of our brands into well-defined residential concepts, creating a distinctive living experience for homeowners shaped by thoughtful design, services and lifestyle benefits across the wider Accor ecosystem," he added.


Iskander Enikeev, Director of Commercial Strategy at Cityview Developments, said Motor City has long been one of Dubai’s most established and well-rounded residential communities.

"The arrival of its first branded residences marks a natural evolution, bringing elevated design, curated amenities and a more complete lifestyle experience, with wellness and longevity at its core. Our vision goes beyond traditional residential amenities, creating an environment that encourages movement, recovery, healthier routines and long-term wellbeing as part of everyday life," he noted.

"Our growing partnership with Accor brings together global hospitality expertise, brand strength and a shared ambition to create residences that enhance both quality of life and long-term value. It also establishes a strong foundation for further projects together across Dubai," he added.

Pullman Residences & Offices Dubai Meydan

Signed at the Future Hospitality Summit – FHS World 2026 and scheduled to open in 2029, Pullman Residences & Offices Dubai Meydan will bring together 282 Pullman branded residences and branded offices within one destination. The project marks a significant milestone for Accor, introducing its first-ever branded offices for sale globally.

It will offer a mix of one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom residences, complemented by amenities reflecting Pullman’s approach to contemporary living, including dedicated meetings and events spaces, a screening room, games room, outdoor kids’ area, padel court, three food and drink concepts, and fitness and wellness facilities.

Pullman Offices Dubai Meydan will introduce the world’s first branded office concept under an international hospitality brand, bringing the standards, service culture and experience of hospitality into the workplace. By bringing residential and commercial environments together, the development reflects the continued evolution of branded real estate towards more integrated ways of living and working.
