The Gray Laguna is the follow-up to The Gray Beach Residences, a project that sold out its first phase and set the tone for what People & Places wanted to build next. This time, the focus shifts to a fully serviced residential concept wrapped around an 11,000 sqm turquoise lagoon, developed in partnership with hospitality name Campbell Gray.
Overview of The Gray Laguna
The idea behind the project is fairly specific: bring the feel of a resort into a residential setting, with homes that are fully finished, fully furnished, and managed with the same level of service you’d expect from a boutique hotel.
Loft units, apartments, ground floor homes, and villas are all arranged around the water, with a couple of details making their debut here for the developer, including outdoor kitchenettes and double-height lofts.

Location of The Gray Laguna
The Gray Laguna in Ras El Hekma is built directly on the water, with its villas, lofts, and residences arranged in U-shaped clusters around the lagoon rather than set back from it. That layout means most units open onto the lagoon or sit within easy reach of it, which is really the defining feature of the location rather than any single landmark nearby.

Design of The Gray Laguna
The design brief here was to bring colour back into coastal architecture, and it shows in the choice of palette and pattern across the homes a deliberate move away from the neutral tones that dominate a lot of North Coast developments.
Homes are grouped in U-shaped zones around the lagoon, a layout chosen to maximize water frontage while still giving each cluster a sense of its own identity.
On the numbers, the project keeps a low building footprint: only 16% of the land is built up, with the remaining 84% given over to landscaping, water features, and open space that ratio is part of what allows the lagoon, gardens, and promenades to feel as expansive as they do throughout the community.

Investment Opportunity at The Gray Laguna
The strongest signal for buyers considering this as an investment is what happened with the first phase: The Gray Beach Residences sold out, which suggests real demand for the brand and the concept behind it. Beyond that track record, a few things support the case for buying into Laguna specifically:
- A low 16% building footprint that keeps the community from feeling crowded
- Direct lagoon frontage for the majority of units, rather than partial or distant water views
- Hospitality management under Campbell Gray, which supports rental potential for owners who don’t plan to use the unit year-round
- A payment plan with a low upfront requirement and a 10-year installment period
Together, these make a reasonable case for buyers who are looking at the North Coast both as a place to spend summers and as an asset that can generate income the rest of the year.
About Developer People & Places
People & Places describes its work as building people-focused neighbourhoods rather than standalone housing communities designed around genuine daily interaction between residents and their surroundings. The company’s stated approach centres on younger generations and the kind of lifestyle they’re looking for, which shows up in the informal, resort-like tone of both Gray projects.
Rather than treating each project as a set of units to sell, the developer frames its work around master planning full experiences, engineering environments that are meant to grow into communities over time rather than simply filling out a site plan.
