Verified project context
Project overview
Factual information is kept separate from ORAN's independent editorial analysis.
OMNIYAT's current official project page identifies VELA as a Marasi Bay residential development designed by Foster + Partners, with interiors by Gilles & Boissier. Product context spans Marina Residences, Sky Residences, Penthouses and a Sky Palace across three to five-bedroom homes.
The current official completion target is Q4 2027. An August 2026 construction update reports the structure at Level 28 with further blockwork, plaster and façade activity; this dated evidence remains separate from positioning language.

ORAN analysis
Independent editorial view
These observations are ORAN's analysis based on reviewed public evidence. They are not official statements from the developer or project.
Positioning
- Waterfront destination, design collaborators and hospitality service work together as the project proposition.
Marketing
- The low-volume offer benefits from a curated narrative rather than mass-residential acquisition patterns.
Digital experience
- Dated construction reporting should remain clearly separated from evergreen positioning and design content.
