Legacy Carried in Dubai

Since 1968

Who we are

Craft, inherited and refined.

UNHID is a design-led developer working at a deliberately small scale. Low density over volume. Considered detail over spectacle. Spaces made to feel effortless to inhabit, and to age beautifully.

Craft & heritage

Rooted in Craft

UNHID is an extension of a long-standing family legacy in Design, Engineering, Construction, and High-end Interior Fitout — established in Dubai in 1968. That legacy has been shaped through the delivery of five-star hospitality projects, royal family palaces, and the most discerning private residences in the region.

  1. 1968

    The late Mr. Ghazi Swaidan lays the foundation, entering the textile and infrastructure supply chain with a vision that would define generations to come.

  2. 1980s

    The family’s reach expands into interiors supply and construction, earning the trust of royal households and private estates across the region.

  3. 1990s

    A regionally leading hospitality fitout group is established, delivering some of the UAE’s most iconic destinations — including the landmark Burj Al Arab.

  4. 2000s

    The portfolio deepens with a new generation of flagship commissions including the Emirates Palace Hotel, over 400 private villas across Palm Jumeirah, and the full fitout of the Armani Hotel.

  5. 2010s

    Two new pillars are born — a luxury Architecture and Engineering design consultancy, and a high-end Interior Design studio — marking a full creative evolution.

  6. 2020s

    The family’s mastery extends into the finest European living spaces, with a curated offering of high-end Italian furniture, kitchens, and wardrobes.

  7. 2025

    UNHID is created — the next chapter of a legacy more than five decades in the making.

Our legacy is an ongoing heritage

A Message from the Chairman

Most people discover Dubai. I was shaped by it.

Born into a family of designers, engineers, and builders, I grew up inside this city’s transformation — not as a witness, but as a participant. By the time I understood what I was part of, it had already become my education, my standard, and my responsibility.

Everything I know about building, I learned from buildings themselves. Every decision, every detail, every space that demanded more than what was easy — that is where my understanding was formed.

The rarest thing in any space is not the material. It is the intention behind it. UNHID exists to make that intention visible — for those who seek it, and for those who already know it.

Moosa Swaidan Chairman & Founder, UNHID

Biography

After graduating from engineering school, Moosa spent more than two decades on the ground — contributing to landmark hospitality and residential developments that shaped the region’s built landscape. What emerged from those years was not a portfolio.

It was a philosophy.

Guided by the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum — that excellence is not an aspiration, but an obligation — he founded UNHID on a single conviction: that value is never absent from a space.

It is simply waiting to be unhidden.

Every project UNHID undertakes is an expression of that belief. Approached with humility, executed with discipline, and held to a standard that does not negotiate.
