Luxe Developers' Oceano development sold out
The Luxe Developers, the UAE-based real estate development firm, has announced its flagship twin-tower development Oceano, situated on Al Marjan Island, has now sold out, underscoring the project's global appeal and highlighting the demand for ultra-luxury real estate in Ras Al Khaimah.
The announcement follows the historic AED180 million sale of The Celest and The Stellar, two ultra-luxury Sky Villa residences within the development. These residences are the most expensive to be sold in Ras Al Khaimah and are redefining the property landscape in the emirate. Collectively, these exclusive Sky Villa residences span over 43,000 sqft, differentiating them from anything else on the market in terms of space and design.
Shubam Aggarwal, Chairman and Co-owner of The Luxe Developers, said: 'Oceano's sold-out status highlights the global appetite for high-design, privacy-first living while underscoring Al Marjan Island's and Ras Al Khaimah's evolution as a luxury lifestyle destination. Oceano was our first project and a first for Al Marjan Island in shaping the skylines of tomorrow in terms of its iconic design, opulent finishes and top-tier detailing.
'We are committed to setting new standards for architectural brilliance, amenity integration, and service excellence, which is why Oceano was the optimal choice of ultra-high-net-worth investors (UHNWIs), which will be showcased when the project is handed over next year.'
At Oceano, bespoke amenities mean residents will have access to a cigar lounge, a library, and a business lounge. A chauffeur's lounge will also be available, as will a dedicated retail level featuring the best in hospitality, F&B, and leisure. A private beach, children's play area, and pool area will add to the development's family focus.
Designed by the acclaimed Dewan Architects + Engineers and interiors by Hirsch Bedner Associates, Oceano's unique design features floors rotated on a plane, offering panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf. Every unit is configured to ensure total seclusion, including all terraces and balconies. This also extends to the shoreline and beach, providing relaxation in a safe and secure environment.
Construction on Oceano is moving quickly, with all enabling works, including shoring, excavation, and pilling, having been completed. China State Construction Engineering Corporation Middle East was appointed as the main contractor in October 2024. The company focuses on delivering The Luxe Developers' vision of an architectural landmark, and construction is moving into advanced civil works and the vertical building phase.
Siddharta Banerji, Managing Director and Co-owner, added: 'Our strategy was clear from the outset – create timeless spaces that inspire and retain long-term investment value. Oceano proves that ultra-luxury developments in emerging markets like Ras Al Khaimah are as sought-after as those in global metropolitan hubs.
'Backed by a team of seasoned professionals, The Luxe Developers has set new benchmarks for Ras Al Khaimah with our flagship project, Oceano, and we are committed to building future landmarks designed to elevate the UAE's global real estate profile.'

US steps up sanctions as Mideast attacks flare
AFP | Washington The United States issued new Iran-related sanctions yesterday, taking aim at the procurement of machinery for the country's defense industry at a time when war is flaring in the Middle East. The US Treasury Department said it was targeting an individual and eight entities over their roles in the sourcing and transshipment of 'sensitive machinery for Iran's defence industry.' 'The United States remains resolved to disrupt any effort by Iran to procure the sensitive, dual-use technology, components, and machinery that underpin the regime's ballistic missile, unmanned aerial vehicle, and asymmetric weapons programs,' said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in a statement. He added that Treasury would continue to target Iran's ability to make and proliferate such weapons, 'which threaten regional stability and global security.' The action comes as conflict is heating up in the Middle East. Iran has been firing daily missile salvos at Israel for the past week, since a wide-ranging Israeli attack on the Islamic Republic's nuclear installations and military bases triggered war. The Treasury's latest targets included Iranian firm Towse Sanaye Nim Resanaye Tarashe and Hong Kong-based Unico Shipping Co, whose vessel was carrying machinery for a designated company. In a separate statement, the Treasury Department said it imposed sanctions directed at Yemen's Iran-backed Huthi rebels as well -- on four individuals, 12 entities and two vessels that imported oil and other illicit goods in support of the group. 'The Houthis rely on a series of front companies and trusted facilitators to clandestinely generate revenue, procure weapons components, and advance their reign of terror in partnership with the Iranian regime,' said US Deputy Treasury Secretary Michael Faulkender. He said the latest move was the department's 'most significant to date against the group.' In a separate statement, State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce added that Washington seeks to deprive the Huthis of 'resources they need to carry out their reckless and destabilizing actions.'

Shell CEO: Contingency Plans Ready If Strait Of Hormuz Closure Triggers Energy Shock
Shell Plc is preparing contingency plans in case the conflict between Israel and Iran broadens and disrupts oil and gas flows through the critical maritime chokepoint of the Strait of Hormuz. On Thursday, CEO Wael Sawan told Bloomberg's Shery Ahn at the Japan Energy Summit & Exhibition in Tokyo, 'If that artery is blocked, for whatever reason, it has a huge impact on global trade,' adding, 'We have plans in the eventuality that things deteriorate.' Although energy flows through the critical waterway—responsible for approximately 20% of global oil trade—remain uninterrupted (at the moment), traders have been on high alert all this week amid widespread GPS jamming in the region, which has degraded navigational awareness and may have contributed to what is shaping up to be a major ecological disaster. On Wednesday, former Iranian Economy Minister Ehsan Khandouzi stated on X and warned… 'Starting tomorrow, for 100 days, no oil tankers or LNG cargoes will be able to pass through the strait without Iran's approval,' Khandouzi said. He stated, 'This policy is decisive if it is implemented in a timely manner. Any delay in its implementation means enduring more war inside the country. Trump's battle must be ended with a combination of economy and security.' Such messaging, especially when paired with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) naval activity in the region, raises the increasing probability of IRGC actions targeting commercial shipping lanes in the strait. This escalation could serve as the catalyst that turns JPMorgan's $120–$130 per barrel Brent crude forecast from a scenario into a market reality. Back to Shell's CEO—he told Bloomberg's Shery Ahn, 'What is particularly challenging right now is some of the jamming that's happening,' adding that 'Shell is being very careful' along major maritime routes in the region. The most imminent threat of a Strait of Hormuz blockade could come as soon as this weekend. Bloomberg reported overnight: Senior US officials are preparing for the possibility of a strike on Iran in coming days , according to people familiar with the matter, as Israel and the Islamic Republic continue to exchange fire. Some of them pointed to potential plans for a weekend strike . Top leaders at a handful of federal agencies have begun getting ready for an attack, one person said. Commenting on the dire situation, Manish Bhargava, CEO of Singapore-based Straits Investment, warned, 'Direct US involvement in an attack on Iran would almost certainly trigger a major spike in oil prices.' He said, 'This surge would aggravate global inflation, making central bank efforts — like the Fed's — to control it more difficult and potentially delaying interest rate cuts.'
