RAK Central, Ras Al Khaimah: the emerging masterplan and its first project
RAK Central is the newest zone in Orven's Ras Al Khaimah collection, currently represented by a single project, Radisson Blu Hotels, RAK Central. Here is what is published, and what remains to be confirmed about the wider masterplan.
RAK Central is the fourth zone in Orven's Ras Al Khaimah collection, alongside Al Marjan Island, Al Hamra Village and Mina Al Arab, and the newest in terms of what is currently published. Today it is represented by a single project in our selection, Radisson Blu Hotels, RAK Central, from BNW Developments. This guide sets out what that project's own page confirms about the area, and what is still open about the wider masterplan.
What is published about RAK Central
RAK Central is described on the Radisson Blu project page as a mixed-use masterplan; the detail of what else is planned for the zone beyond this one project, retail, other residential towers, infrastructure, is not published on the project page and is not asserted here. Project locations are approximate, and your adviser confirms the exact plot before you reserve.
Radisson Blu Hotels, RAK Central
Radisson Blu Hotels, RAK Central comprises two towers on a shared podium, 28 storeys, with studio suites, executive suites and a single presidential suite. The development includes 361 serviced apartments plus 51 retail units and 2 kiosks. The project page states that owners share hotel-grade service with guests. Entry price is from AED 1.35 million, with a published 30/70 payment plan, and delivery is set for Q4 2029.
| Detail | Published fact |
|---|---|
| Towers | Two, on a shared podium, 28 storeys |
| Unit types | Studio suites, executive suites, one presidential suite |
| Serviced apartments | 361, plus 51 retail units and 2 kiosks |
| Entry price | From AED 1.35 million |
| Payment plan | 30/70 |

What a 30/70 plan means at this entry price
30% of AED 1.35 million is AED 405,000, and the remaining 70% is AED 945,000. The exact instalment schedule behind that 30/70 split, how the 30% is staged before handover, is confirmed by your adviser rather than assumed; it has not been published as a detailed timetable.
What "owners share hotel-grade service with guests" does and does not confirm
The project page's own language is the full extent of what is confirmed about the hospitality side of this residence: owners share hotel-grade service with guests. It does not state a rental programme, a revenue-sharing arrangement, furnishing standard, or mandatory hotel management, and none of those should be assumed. Our guide on the difference between a hotel-branded and a fashion-branded residence sets out the right questions to ask a developer before assuming how a hotel-branded project like this one operates in practice.

Who tends to suit a RAK Central purchase today
Because the zone currently has one project in our selection rather than the broader choice available on Al Marjan Island or in Mina Al Arab, RAK Central suits a buyer specifically drawn to Radisson Blu Hotels, RAK Central, its hotel-branded positioning, or its mid-point entry price among our Ras Al Khaimah collection, rather than a buyer comparing several options within the same zone. A buyer who wants to compare several zones and projects side by side can see the full Ras Al Khaimah destination page.
What remains to be confirmed
- The wider RAK Central masterplan. What else is planned for the zone beyond Radisson Blu Hotels, RAK Central is not published and is confirmed with your adviser as new information becomes available.
- The 30/70 instalment schedule. Confirmed by your adviser, not assumed from the published split.
- Hospitality services. Anything beyond "owners share hotel-grade service with guests" is confirmed directly with the developer.
- Ownership regime. As with every zone in our Ras Al Khaimah selection, the exact freehold status of a unit is confirmed at contract and with the Ras Al Khaimah land department.
