Nuvana is Wadan Developments’ first Dubai project. It was followed by Seraph by Wadan in October 2025 and Cybele in November 2025, both in Dubailand Residence Complex. Wadan has not yet completed a project in Dubai, so Nuvana’s progress against September 2027 is the first test of its delivery. Its main contractor, Autolink Contracting, is part of the same group.
Nuvana is one of many private projects on Dubai Islands, Nakheel’s island community off Deira.
