Empire Development has officially unveiled its highly anticipated project, Empire Lakeviews in Liwan, at an event held at the Park Regis Hotel, Business Bay, Dubai.
Empire Lakeviews in Liwan
Situated in the heart of Dubai’s booming real estate market, Empire Lakeviews in Liwan features a range of high-end living spaces, from exquisite studios to elegant 1, 2, and 3-bedroom duplexes. Each unit boasts optional private pools and grand architectural designs that push the boundaries of what it means to live in opulence.
While speaking to Dubai Newsweek on the sidelines of the launching event, Mr. Kamran Ghani, Chairman and Founder of Ghani Holdings, said: “We are thrilled to launch Empire Lakeviews, our sixth project under Empire Development. We’ve been building in Dubai since 2016 and have delivered several successful projects, including our first in 2018, followed by others in 2021 and 2024. This new project, located in Liwan, is a significant milestone for us.”

Liwan is strategically placed near the Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, which connects all the Emirates, and is close to popular attractions like Global Village and Silicon Oasis.
The location offers the perfect blend of luxury, convenience, and future potential. Empire Lakeviews consists of 30 stories and around 600 apartments, with a range of unit types including studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom duplexes.
‘Luxury living at affordable prices’
“We focus on delivering luxury living at affordable prices. Our unique selling point is combining high-end finishes, modern automation, and exclusive amenities with an accessible price tag. The project includes over 30 amenities such as a jogging track, cricket pitch, kids’ pool, gym, sauna, and much more. One of our standout features is the full floor dedicated solely to these amenities, which is something we pride ourselves on,” he said.
The pricing starts at Dhs600,000 for a studio, and the payment plan is designed to make home ownership more feasible.
1% monthly payments
“We offer a 20% down payment, followed by 1% monthly payments for 80 months. There are no balloon payments or hidden costs — just a simple and straightforward plan that makes it easier for buyers to manage their finances,” Mr. Ghani added.
“We’ve already seen strong interest in the project, with more than 50% of the units already sold. The response has been overwhelming, and we expect to close those units very soon. Our target audience includes both end-users and investors. For investors, this location offers excellent potential due to its proximity to Global Village and Silicon Oasis, while end-users can take advantage of our flexible payment plans, which are more affordable than paying rent elsewhere.”
When asked about competition in the market, Mr. Ghani emphasized Empire Development’s strategy: “We stand out because we focus on what truly matters — quality, location, and trust. We’re not focused on a numbers game, but rather on ensuring we deliver the best projects possible. The demand for real estate in Dubai continues to grow, driven by the influx of tourists, the city’s economic growth, and strategic government initiatives.”
Future plans
Looking ahead, Empire Development is planning more projects in the coming years.
“After Empire Lakeviews, we have developments in the pipeline for areas like JVC, with several others planned. We’re also expanding our presence in the hospitality sector. We manage our hotel projects ourselves, offering our investors opportunities for better returns through short-term rentals,” he said.
Regarding the future of the Dubai real estate market, Mr. Ghani concluded, “With the government’s vision for 2030 and continued growth in the city, I believe the market will continue to thrive.”
