ELLE Residences Dubai Islands has officially launched, marking the Middle East debut of residences from the world’s leading fashion and lifestyle media brand.

Following the success of its first residential tower in Miami, the ELLE brand, owned by the Lagardère Group, has partnered with ANAX Developments to create its first branded residences in The Middle East. This landmark collaboration combines ELLE’s global lifestyle ethos with ANAX’s deep understanding of Dubai’s evolving luxury market, creating a new project that is set to become a cultural and architectural icon for the region.

Developed under a licensing agreement with Lagardère News (an entity of the Lagardère Group), ELLE Residences Dubai Islands will embody the brand’s forward-looking approach to lifestyle living. The project is designed around ELLE’s unique signature;  a blend of contemporary style, self-expression and cultural sophistication, rooted in everyday style. All the while reflecting Dubai’s own rhythm – confident, cosmopolitan and globally connected.

Valued at AED 451M and slated for completion by Q3 2027, this stunning project marks a new era of branded residences in the heart of Dubai Islands. 

Situated on Dubai Islands, the city’s most coveted and ambitious new waterfront destination, the residences offer direct beachfront access, sweeping sea views and proximity to retail, cultural and first-class leisure amenities. The unique project is set to become a landmark for Dubai’s new era – where fashion, lifestyle and real estate combine.

The development is a collection of 91 beautiful apartments and 7 stunning townhouses, each thoughtfully designed to combine privacy, space and spectacular views. Priced between AED 3,200 and AED 3,600 per square feet, from intimate one-bedroom residences to expansive four-bedroom townhouses of up to 4,592 sq.ft., every home has been created to frame the sea and skyline through floor-to-ceiling glazing and wraparound terraces. Whether a seasonal retreat or a year-round address, the layouts balance open-plan living with private escapes – a rarity in Dubai’s luxury residential market.

The apartments and townhouses are being brought to life by two internationally acclaimed design firms; The One Atelier, renowned for its work with leading global fashion houses on luxury branded residences and ARQUINAUT, the creative and real estate consultancy studio acting as representative for ELLE Residences.

ELLE Residences Dubai Islands is designed as a wellness-driven community where rooftop pools and sunlit terraces capture panoramic Gulf view and curated spaces. From private spas and yoga decks to landscaped gardens and social lounges offering sanctuary and connection. A 24-hour concierge, valet and security ensure seamless service, while the amenities are tailored for balance, beauty and belonging.

Interiors draw on ELLE’s five pillars of fashion, beauty, culture, lifestyle and society to create spaces that feel curated and completely unique. Expect sculptural fireplaces, bespoke wallpapers, bronze accents and marble alongside soft, layered lighting and art that pays homage to the city’s vibrant and contemporary scene.

Living at ELLE Residences Dubai Islands is about embracing a lifestyle as iconic as the brand itself.
It’s a world where every detail is designed to inspire confidence, connection and joy. It’s an invitation to live your own cover story.
The result is a collection of homes that feel as though they belong on the pages of a magazine.

With sales officially opened since September 26th 2025, ELLE Residences Dubai Islands signals the start of a bold new chapter in the region’s property market: a project that is dynamic, culturally attuned and distinctly Dubai.

Building on the momentum of ELLE Residences Miami (180 residences in Edgewater), which set a new benchmark for branded lifestyle living in the United States, the launch of ELLE Residences Dubai Islands underscores the brand’s global expansion strategy.

It reflects ELLE’s ambition to translate its fashion and lifestyle authority into vibrant, aspirational living spaces across the world, with Miami and Dubai as the first milestones of a broader international development.
