Whether The Alba Residences and The Alba Resort Residences are separate branded-residence projects or components of one development on one site.

• Two components of one developmentOMNIYAT's own destination microsite presents The Alba Residences (unfurnished, by Zaha Hadid Architects) and The Alba Resort Residences (fully furnished, resort-style) as two offerings within what it calls "one larger development project," sharing landscaping by Vladimir Djurovic across a 26,000 sqm central oasis and a hotel component also designed by Zaha Hadid Architects.source ↗
• Two separate projectsOMNIYAT's own site lists "The Alba Residences" and "The Alba Resort Residences" (also called "Alba Resorts") as separate entries in its residential portfolio menu, each with its own dedicated project page, unit count and completion date.source ↗

ResolvedComponents of one development. OMNIYAT's own destination microsite describes both, its project page for the residences calls them the unfurnished component of a wider development that also includes the resort residences and a hotel on the same site, and the two are recorded here as one project with a component each.

Whether a project marketed by multiple brokerages as "Ela Residences" is the same project as The Alba Residences under an earlier working name, or a distinct scheme.

• "Ela Residences"Multiple brokerage aggregator pages (Sotheby's International Realty, Luxhabitat, offplan-dubai.com, Metropolitan Premium Properties) describe "Ela Residences by OMNIYAT," designed by Zaha Hadid Architects with landscaping by Vladimir Djurovic and managed by Dorchester Collection, citing an estimated 209 homes and completion around Q1 2028.source ↗
• "The Alba Residences"OMNIYAT's own current site names the project "The Alba Residences, Dorchester Collection, Dubai," with 88 residences by Zaha Hadid Architects and a Q3 2028 completion date; no page opened used the name "Ela."source ↗

Which side of the Palm Jumeirah crescent ORLA and ORLA Infinity stand on. The two readings are about 2.5 km apart and no page opened for either states a plot number.

• The apex of the crescentOMNIYAT's own project page places ORLA on "an 29,000 square-metre beachfront plot at the apex of the Palm's crescent", and a Sotheby's listing repeats "at the apex of Palm Jumeirah's crescent". Read as geometry this is the crescent's northernmost point, which is where these two records sat until the position was re-derived — and that point is occupied by the Sofitel resort and by OMNIYAT's own Alba plot.source ↗
• The West CrescentA building guide gives the address as "Located on Crescent West Street", and a portal listing places the plot at 25.1228, 55.1118 — on the western arm, between the W Dubai hotel and the Serenia Living site, a stretch OpenStreetMap maps as largely undeveloped. Both records now carry the mapped West Crescent carriageway on that reading.source ↗

Whether VELA and VELA Viento share one site or lot, which would make them components of one development rather than separate schemes.

• Same destination, no shared address foundOMNIYAT's own specification sheets for VELA and VELA Viento give only "Marasi Bay" as the location, with no street address or lot number distinguishing or uniting the two, so no development grouping is declared here.source ↗

The residence count at 1 Mayfair is published in two forms.

• 24 principal residences plus five further unitsThe developer's own topping-out release gives 24 principal residences and five further units; the building database calls those five pieds-a-terre and one trade report calls them staff suites.source ↗
• 29 residencesThe architect's own project record gives 29 mostly unique residences without dividing them.source ↗

The management appointment at 1 Mayfair rests on trade reporting; Dorchester Collection's own release on it returned an error at both addresses under which it was published.

• Dorchester Collection manages the property, the concierge and the hotel-style servicesThe trade report of the appointment states Dorchester Collection was appointed by the developer and gives the scope as property management, concierge and hotel-style services.source ↗
