Landmark Residential Project set to launch on Dubai Islands

Following the success of its first residential tower in Miami, the internationally 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 a recent official signing ceremony, Satish Sanpal, Chairman, ANAX Holding and François Coruzzi, CEO, ELLE International Licenses / Lagardère Group, formalized a strategic partnership to launch ELLE’s first branded residential project in the UAE.
Developed by ANAX Developments under a licensing agreement with Lagardère News (an entity of the Lagardère Group), ELLE Residences Dubai Islands will become a new architectural and cultural landmark.
The project will be brought to life by global design experts The One Atelier, renowned for their work on luxury residences for brands such as Dolce & Gabbana, Karl Lagerfeld, and Fendi Casa. Co-creative direction will be led by ARQUINAUT, the international design studio that created the original ELLE Residences concept, and will oversee both architecture and interiors.
Design-forward developer
As one of Dubai’s most agile and design-forward developers, ANAX brings deep local market expertise, a proven track record in luxury development, and a shared commitment to innovation and quality.
For ELLE, this collaboration ensures that its first branded residence in the Middle East is anchored by a partner who understands both the cultural nuances and high expectations of the region’s discerning buyers.
Together, the two entities will deliver a project that not only upholds ELLE’s global standards of style and sophistication but also resonates authentically within Dubai’s fast-evolving luxury lifestyle ecosystem.
“We’re thrilled to bring ELLE’s iconic lifestyle to Dubai through our partnership for ELLE Residences on Dubai Islands,” added Sanpal. “Dubai, a city synonymous with innovation, design, and global appeal, is the perfect setting for this bold new venture. This project will be a defining expression of purposeful, joyful living that reflects the essence of ELLE,” he continued further.
Legacy of innovation
“ELLE’s legacy of innovation continues to define our journey, and with this next chapter, we’re proud to bring the brand’s style to Middle Eastern living for the first time in dynamic Dubai, one of the growing premier markets for branded residences. We’re excited to unveil ELLE Residences Dubai Islands in collaboration with our esteemed partners,” affirmed Constance Benqué, CEO, ELLE International and Lagardère News.
“With ELLE Residences Dubai Islands, we are working closely with the brand to craft a concept that channels ELLE’s Parisian sensibility through the lens of Dubai’s dynamic lifestyle,” asserted Michele Galli, CEO, The One Atelier.
ELLE Residences Dubai Islands represents the latest evolution of ELLE’s growing lifestyle portfolio. Further details, including sales timelines and unit configurations, will be announced in the coming months, the press note concluded.
