What is off plan property by BNW?
Off plan property by BNW Developments is a home you buy from BNW before construction is finished, paying in stages tied to build milestones or handover. BNW is a luxury developer founded in 2024 by chairman Ankur Aggarwal and managing director Dr. Vivek Anand Oberoi, specialising in beachfront and branded residences on Al Marjan Island.
Buying off plan with BNW means securing a waterfront — often brand-name — home at launch pricing in a fast-appreciating market, with funds protected in escrow until handover.
Why BNW & Al Marjan Island
BNW pairs a remarkable growth trajectory with a single, high-conviction location — the UAE's most talked-about emerging island.
- RAK's largest private developer: around AED 15 billion in assets under management and 12 new projects planned for 2026 — built in just over a year.
- One focused island: Al Marjan Island, a beachfront destination minutes from the upcoming Wynn resort, with 32 Michelin-star restaurants planned across the island.
- Branded pedigree: the UAE's first Taj Hotels branded residence, plus collaborations including FashionTV and Tonino Lamborghini.
- Strong income: 7–9% long-term yields and 10–12% short-term (holiday) yields on a high-demand island.

The BNW growth story
Few developers have scaled this fast. BNW went from consultancy to RAK's largest private developer in barely two years:
The Wynn effect on Al Marjan Island
BNW's biggest tailwind is its location beside Wynn Al Marjan Island — the UAE's first casino resort, opening in 2027. The island's market has already transformed:
- Price surge: Al Marjan land values have risen sharply since the Wynn announcement, with prime waterfront forecast to keep climbing in 2026.
- Proximity premium: Aqua Arc is ~5 minutes from Wynn; Taj Wellington Mews is ~1.5km — prime positions for short-term rental demand.
- Tourism wave: RAK is targeting millions of additional annual visitors and a cluster of global hospitality brands on the island.
- Branded premium: BNW's Taj and fashion-brand residences command a structural 25–40% rental premium over non-branded stock.
Off plan property, freehold & the UAE Golden Visa
BNW's projects are freehold and open to all nationalities, and any home worth AED 2 million or more qualifies for a 10-year UAE Golden Visa.
- Full freehold: the right to sell, rent, mortgage and transfer — for all nationalities in Ras Al Khaimah.
- AED 2M Golden Visa: a 10-year renewable visa covering you, your spouse and dependents — met by Aqua Arc and Taj Wellington Mews.
- Zero tax: no annual property tax, no capital gains tax, no rental income tax.
- Flexible plans: typically 60/40 with post-handover options and down payments from around 10%. Model financing with our mortgage calculator.
