Dubai – Following the success of its first residential tower in Miami, the acclaimed fashion and lifestyle brand ELLE, owned by the French Lagardère Group, is set to make its Middle East debut with an exclusive residential project on Dubai Islands.
At an official signing ceremony, Satish Sanpal, Chairman of ANAX Holding and François Coruzzi, CEO of ELLE International Licenses / Lagardère Group, formalized a strategic partnership to launch ELLE’s first branded residential project in the UAE.
ELLE Residences Dubai Islands, developed by ANAX Developments, will become a new architectural and cultural landmark. The project will be brought to life by ARQUINAUT, the international Architecture studio that created the original ELLE Residences concept, which will oversee both architecture and interiors and The One Atelier, renowned for their work on luxury residences for brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Karl Lagerfeld, and Fendi Casa.
Slated for completion by Q3 2027, this stunning project marks a new era of branded residences in the heart of Dubai Islands. Following the success of its first residential tower in Miami, ELLE, owned by the Lagardère Group, has partnered with ANAX Developments to create its branded residences portfolio in the Middle East, for the very first time. This landmark collaboration combines ELLE’s global lifestyle ethos with ANAX’s deep understanding of Dubai’s evolving luxury market, creating a new flagship project that is set to become a cultural and architectural icon for the region.
