Al Helal Al Zahaby Real Estate (HZ Development) in Dubai

Al Helal Al Zahaby Real Estate Development and HZ Development

Al Helal Al Zahaby is a Dubai residential developer that trades under the name HZ Development. The website hzdevelopment.ae gives the legal name in its footer as Al Helal Al Zahaby and an office at Westburry Office Tower in Business Bay. A third-party developer profile on Propsearch gives the full registered style as Al Helal Al Zahaby Real Estate Development LLC. DPF has not opened the Dubai Land Department developer register, so treat the LLC wording as the portal’s and confirm it in your contract.

Spelling varies. The older buildings are written “Al Helal Al Zahby” on the developer’s site, and search results mix “Zahaby”, “Zahby” and “HZ”. It is one developer and not a master developer: it builds apartment buildings in existing districts. Anyone searching for Al Helal Al Zahaby projects in Dubai will mostly find the HZ Development name on current launches.

Official website and developer status

The developer’s own site is hzdevelopment.ae. It lists completed and current projects, but the pages DPF reviewed give no licence number, RERA developer number or escrow information. A Propsearch profile lists registrations with the Dubai Land Department, Dubai Chamber of Commerce and the Dubai Economic Department. Those numbers have not been checked against an official register by DPF, so they are not repeated here. Ask the agent for the project registration and escrow details, check the advert’s RERA permit (Trakheesi) number and look the project up on Dubai REST.

Ownership and group relationship

No parent company or group is named in the official pages reviewed. Propsearch describes the company as privately owned. DPF found no verified link to another developer and does not suggest one. The registered developer named in your sale and purchase agreement is the entity that owes you the unit.

Completed projects

The developer’s site lists four delivered projects, all marked sold out: Al Helal Al Zahaby 1, 2 and 3, and HZ Residences 4. The pages DPF opened do not give their locations, so the community of each building should be read from its title deed. If you are hunting for Al Helal Al Zahaby resale apartments, this is the group to look at first, because owners of delivered units hold title deeds and a service-charge record you can inspect.

Under construction

The site lists five projects as under construction: Oasis Residences, Forest City, Forest City Tower II, Sports View Residence and Sports View II. According to the developer’s project table, stated handover is Q1 2027 for Oasis Residences and Q2 2027 for Forest City Tower II, with 2026 for Forest City and Sports View II. Sports View Residence is still shown as 2025, a date that has passed. That suggests the table has not been updated, so ask the developer whether the building has been handed over and request the completion certificate before treating it as delivered.

Announced projects

A Propsearch profile mentions Forest City 2 and 3 and Sports View Residence 2 as planned. The developer’s site pages that DPF reviewed do not confirm them as launches, so DPF does not treat them as verified.

Where HZ Development projects sit in Dubai

This is the point where the developer’s own pages disagree, and you should know it before you search. The project table places Oasis Residences and Sports View Residence in Majan and Sports View II in Dubai South. The current-projects page gives Forest City and Forest City Tower II as Warsan 4. The homepage lists Forest City and Forest City Tower II in Majan and Sports View in Warsan 4, and Oasis Residences in Dubai South. The Forest City Tower II project page itself says Dubailand (DLRC). Related DPF area pages include Majan, Dubailand and Dubai South.

Because the same building appears under several district names, the safest approach is to read the plot number and community on the Oqood or title deed and match it to the DLD record. Do not assume freehold eligibility from a district name. Foreign ownership is limited to designated areas, and the title or registration record is the proof.

Delivery record and developer track record

Four delivered projects is a modest but checkable record. What is not published is the original promised date against the actual handover date for each, so a claim that this developer delivers on time is not something DPF can support. Read HZ Development reviews from owners of the finished buildings, and check the owners’ association accounts and service-charge history instead of relying on the sales pages.

Al Helal Al Zahaby below original price and distress sales

With four sold-out completed buildings, resales of delivered units are usually priced against recent registered transactions in the same building. For a below original price unit, ask for the title deed, the original sale price on the Oqood record, a service-charge clearance certificate, and the mortgage liability letter if the unit is mortgaged. If it is tenanted, ask for the Ejari contract and the date the lease ends.

For buildings still under construction, an Al Helal Al Zahaby off-plan resale is a contract transfer. The seller holds an Oqood registration and needs the developer’s NOC. Ask for a statement of what has been paid, the instalments still owed and any administrative fee the developer charges. Compare the total outstanding, not the headline discount. A distress sale may mean a seller who cannot meet the next instalment, which gives you room to negotiate, but it also means you must check that no arrears sit on the unit.

The same caution applies to any HZ Development payment plan resale that is offered to you. Treat a payment plan as something to confirm in writing with the developer. DPF does not quote prices or plans for this developer.

Service charges

For Al Helal Al Zahaby service charges, the figure that matters is the current rate for the specific building, from the management company or the owners’ association. Ask for the last two years of budgets and a clearance certificate before transfer.
