RAK Properties Launches ‘The Strand’, a Major Residential-Led Mixed-Use Development in Ras Al Khaimah

Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, 13 February 2026 – RAK Properties, Ras Al Khaimah’s leading publicly listed property developer, has unveiled The Strand, a new residential-led mixed-use destination within the Marjan Beach masterplan. This development reinforces the company’s long-term strategy to expand across the emirate’s mainland and deliver integrated, people-first communities.

The Strand spans 185,759 square metres of land and features 500,000 square metres of gross floor area (GFA), encompassing residential units, retail hubs, green spaces, and community districts. Strategically positioned adjacent to a large public park, with bridge access to the Wynn Resort and proximity to beach clubs and hotels, the project benefits from its location in a rapidly developing high-growth coastal corridor.

Designed around three interconnected districts - Creative, Urban, and Garden - The Strand integrates work, lifestyle, wellness, and community-focused environments to promote modern urban living, creativity, opportunity, and well-being.

The launch responds to increasing demand for high-quality homes in Ras Al Khaimah’s expanding real estate market and aligns with RAK Vision 2030 by contributing to the emirate’s urban, economic, and residential growth. Backed by RAK Properties’ 20-year legacy, The Strand is positioned to deliver long-term value, strong rental potential, and sustained demand in a well-connected location.

In an official press release, Sameh Muhtadi, CEO of RAK Properties, stated: “The launch of The Strand is a pivotal moment for RAK Properties and a powerful testament to our commitment to not only expand our development pipeline but to create truly purposeful, integrated, and livable communities. Right in the heart of the Marjan Beach District, and with excellent proximity to the Wynn Resort, a large public park, beach clubs and nearby hotels, we are designing a community built for the future. It’s where music, food and culture lovers can live, work and connect – a place that fosters creativity, opportunity and well-being while encouraging a genuine sense of belonging. The Strand delivers on our strategic commitment to extend our milestone projects by introducing new, large-scale masterplans that will shape the future of Ras Al Khaimah. This development directly supports the Emirate’s continued emergence as a premier destination for residents and investors, and we are confident that it will set a bold new benchmark for integrated community living.”
