The Myriad Dubai’s blueprint for the ultimate student community combines safety with enriching experiences

Leading developer and operator of student living communities The Myriad has collaborated with frontier markets asset manager FIM Partners to set a new standard in safe, affordable, and vibrant community accommodation for higher education and university students. The development journey started in 2018, with the living community opening its doors to residents during the peak of Covid-19 in 2020. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, the property’s successful launch during offline learning introduced a new business model through collaborations with universities offering hybrid learning, as well as institutions providing short-term courses. In the past four years, with a constantly growing student population, The Myriad Dubai morphed into a buzzing entire community, proudly hosting a diverse range of 128 nationalities from over 80 universities and institutions all over the UAE.

Amidst the unprecedented growth in the international education sector in the city, The Myriad Dubai is at the forefront, offering a lifestyle beyond mere housing to feature an enriching environment brimming with experiences and opportunities that appeal to students.

With the MENA region emerging as one of the world’s fastest-growing regions for higher education, the demand for premium student accommodation has surged. Dubai, serving as the commercial and educational nexus of the region, has witnessed its education sector nearing capacity.

Vik Rao, CEO of The Myriad and Strategic Housing Group (SHG), explained that leading the development of The Myriad Dubai, a project that not only meets but exceeds the expectations for high-quality yet affordable student living, was already a preparation to get ready for the growing demand with a unique offering. “At The Myriad, we’re not just creating accommodation; we’re fostering a vibrant community where students can thrive,” Rao stated.

The Myriad Dubai, located in the heart of Dubai International Academic City, offers over 2,250 beds and shows SHG and FIM Partners’ mutual commitment to increasing the standard of affordable student living.

The Myriad Dubai sets the standard for student lifestyle communities by displaying the importance of providing beyond basic accommodations. The success underscores the increasing demand for quality education and student housing within the region, positioning The Myriad Dubai at the forefront of revolutionising student living.
