Dubai Diligence Score
52 / 100
View score methodology
Exactly how this 52/100 was built. Each factor gets a 0–100 sub-score from verified data, then contributes in proportion to its weight. A factor with no verified data yet is excluded from the average entirely - never scored as zero or guessed - so the weights below re-balance across only the factors that have real data.
| Factor | Sub-score | Weight | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Developer Track Record | 40/100 | 33% | +18.1 |
| Buyer Reviews | 90/100 | 27% | +33.3 |
| How Easily It Sells | 2/100 | 13% | +0.4 |
| Dubai Diligence Score | 52 | ||
Points = sub-score × weight. They sum to the headline score (small differences are rounding).
Not yet scored: On-Time Handover Rate - excluded until verified data exists, not counted as zero.
Full methodology & independence policyConstruction & delivery track record
No completed projects yet
Select Group has no DLD-registered projects that have reached a delivery outcome (completed or cancelled), and its 2 in-progress projects are not yet past a reasonable build window. There is no delivery track record to show - this is a caution for a newer developer, not a mark against them.

We had a great experience during the handover process, thanks to Hazel. She was very accommodating and went out of her way to assist us throughout, making everything smooth and well-organized despite our client’s tight schedule. She was responsive, professional, and a pleasure to deal with. The facilities were also excellent, presented to a very high standard, which made for a great overall handover experience. Thank you, Hazel, for all your support. It was a pleasure working with you.

A huge thank you to Select Group and the Kaizen handover team for such a seamless and efficient process. My new apartment in Peninsula Three and the overall building was in an immaculate condition. I was able to fit-out the apartment within 2 weeks from the handover as there were almost zero snags. I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience and look forward to investing with them again in the near future.

One of the worst handover experiences I have had with a Dubai developer. Three months after submitting the snagging report, absolutely nothing had been rectified. Nobody from Select Group even called to arrange access or discuss when the defects would be fixed. Select provided no meaningful assistance throughout the entire handover process, and I ultimately had to arrange and pay for all rectification and renovation work myself because obtaining any support from them was impossible. The apartment was delivered late, in a rush, and with very poor workmanship. The handover itself was completely unprofessional. On the date arranged by Select, Empower could not issue the required documentation because Select had failed to provide the necessary information on time. This turned the handover day into an unnecessary confrontation caused entirely by Select’s lack of preparation. The office staff were rude, disorganised, and seemingly incapable of guiding a customer through the handover process from beginning to end. The problems continued after handover. At Peninsula Three, the management company appointed by Select, Kaizen, is clearly failing to perform its duties. There are serious security gaps: outsiders freely enter and leave the building and use the amenities without any proper checks. Multiple complaints to both Kaizen and Select have produced no results, and the situation remains unchanged. Parking is another major failure. Select gave virtually no thought to vehicle circulation or alternative parking arrangements in such a congested location as Business Bay. The entire setup is extremely inconvenient for residents and visitors. I own apartments developed by Emaar, Nakheel, Meraas, and Aldar, so I have a very clear basis for comparison. My experience with Select Group has been by far the most disappointing. Poor construction quality, delayed and rushed delivery, incompetent handover management, rude staff, inadequate security, and complete indifference once payment has been received. I deeply regret purchasing from Select Group and would never consider buying another property from this developer.

I completed the handover of the unit with Ahmed. Ahmed from Kaizen was very welcoming and gave me a comprehensive tour of the building in the Peninsula project. He answered all of my questions thoroughly. Thank you!

The bottom line
Select Group is registered with the Dubai Land Department, on the register since 2007, with 239 recorded sales to its name. It has no completed projects on record yet, so there is no delivery track record to judge it on, which is a caution for a newer name rather than a mark against it. Buyers rate it 4.5 out of 5 on Google across 280 reviews. Taken together, that gives a Dubai Diligence Score of 52 out of 100, which we read as adequate. Treat this as a well-sourced starting point for your own due diligence, not a replacement for it.
