For more than 15 years, NU Projects has been trusted by homeowners in Prime Central London to deliver world-class basements. From Mayfair to Belgravia, we’ve transformed properties with bespoke underground spaces — gyms, cinemas, wine cellars, spas, and staff accommodation — all built to the highest standards.
Now, we are bringing this expertise to Dubai.
Understanding Basements in Dubai
In premium villa communities such as Arabian Ranches, Emirates Hills, Dubai Hills, The Lakes, and Al Barari, space is at a premium. Plot boundaries often limit the ability to extend outwards, making basements the smartest way to add square footage without compromising the garden or architecture.
Dubai Municipality regulations permit single basements only, but this is often all that’s needed to unlock transformative value. Whether you want to create a private entertainment suite, a wellness spa, or secure underground parking, a basement is the most efficient way to future-proof your villa.
Our Process
At NU, we take care of the entire journey:
Feasibility Study – Reviewing your villa plans, plot, and soil conditions.
Design & Engineering – Structural calculations, waterproofing, MEP integration.
Approvals – Managing Dubai Municipality applications and documentation.
Construction & Fit-Out – Safely excavating below ground and delivering a fully finished, luxury space.
With a track record of over 100 basements in London, our methods are proven. We ensure that projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest quality — with no risk of structural movement or damage to neighbouring properties.
Lifestyle & Value
A basement is more than just extra space — it’s about enhancing lifestyle and adding long-term value to your villa. Imagine a hidden home cinema for family nights, a spa and gym for wellness, a climate-controlled wine cellar, or additional guest accommodation. These additions don’t just elevate daily living, they make your property more desirable on the resale market.
