The rise of boutique living: how smaller communities offer bigger value

Pearlshire’s Bond Enclave captures Dubai’s shift toward design-led residential living

As Dubai continues its upward expansion, a quieter trend is emerging across its most livable districts — the rise of boutique living. With buyers seeking more than square footage, a new wave of mid-rise, wellness-focused communities is redefining residential value. Bond Enclave by Pearlshire, located in Arjan, is one of the most refined examples of this growing movement.

With just 158 apartments across eight floors, Bond Enclave has been meticulously designed to offer hotel-like comfort with the permanence and emotional grounding of home. From a double-height lobby to wraparound terraces, every corner reflects Pearlshire’s guest-first design philosophy — a legacy rooted in the brand’s hospitality background.

“At Bond Enclave, we’re building what we call experience-driven residences,” said Farrukh A. Bagasra, Founder of Pearlshire Development. “It’s not about scale — it’s about soul. In a time when homes are getting bigger in size, we’re making them bigger in meaning.”......
