You’ve heard of homes with a view — but how about a home that is a statement piece? Well, grab your sunglasses (and maybe a monocle) because Mantra Properties and Jacob & Co. just dropped the ultimate flex: an ultra-luxury residential project on the glamorous shores of Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah. And yes, it’s as extra as it sounds.
Let’s unpack this AED400 million stunner (that’s a casual $109 million if you’re counting in dollars). This isn’t just a building; it’s a collaboration of icons. Mantra Properties — India’s real estate darling known for tasteful, design-first developments — is making its UAE debut. And they’re doing it arm-in-arm with Jacob & Co., the high-jewelry and watchmaker famous for crafting timepieces so intricate, they might as well double as mini universes.
Sparkle, but Make It Residential
This marks Jacob & Co.’s third residential venture in the UAE (clearly, they’re collecting cities like watch complications), but it’s their first on Al Marjan Island — which, by the way, is fast becoming the playground of the luxe and legendary.
According to Marjan CEO Arch. Abdulla Al Abdouli, “We are thrilled to welcome this extraordinary partnership between Mantra Properties and Jacob & Co. to Al Marjan Island. This collaboration perfectly exemplifies our vision of creating a destination that attracts the world’s most prestigious brands and offers residents unparalleled luxury experiences.”
He added: “The Jacob & Co. Residences will add another distinguished chapter to Al Marjan Island’s story as the UAE’s premier luxury living destination, combining exceptional design with world-class amenities in one of the region’s most sought-after locations.”
Mantra’s UAE Glow-Up
For Mantra, this isn’t just a one-off beachside affair. It’s step one of a five-project UAE domination plan. With 18 completed projects back in India and another 12 million sq. ft. in the pipeline, these folks clearly don’t do things halfway. They’ve already penciled in AED1.3 billion worth of real estate sparkle over the next few years. Bold? Definitely. Exciting? Absolutely.
What the Big Bosses Are Saying
Ankit Gupta, Mantra’s Executive Director, said “This project is more than just a new chapter, it’s a reflection of our legacy. For nearly two decades, Mantra has believed in building not just homes but lasting experiences that stand the test of time. Partnering with a visionary brand like Jacob & Co. allows us to elevate that legacy on a global platform, bringing together craftsmanship, elegance, and innovation in a way that will redefine luxury living on Al Marjan Island.”
Rohit Gupta, CEO of Mantra, was just as poetic: “Our partnership with Jacob & Co. is a defining moment that brings together two brands driven by vision, creativity, and excellence. This collaboration is not only about developing a landmark project on Al Marjan Island but about forging a new path for ultra-luxury living in the UAE. With Jacob & Co.’s iconic design language and Mantra’s deep-rooted passion for meaningful spaces, we’re creating something truly extraordinary. This is a bold step forward for both brands, and we’re excited about what lies ahead.”
And Jacob Arabo — the man behind all those jaw-dropping timepieces — dropped the mic with this gem: “At Jacob & Co., we have always believed in turning dreams into reality whether through the intricate mechanics of a timepiece or the sparkling brilliance of high jewelry.”
“With Mantra Properties, we have found a partner who shares our relentless pursuit of perfection and innovation. The Jacob & Co. Residences on Al Marjan will be a place where design, legacy, and luxury meet, a destination unlike any other.”
What’s Next?
The Jacob & Co. Residences are set to be the place to live if you enjoy panoramic views, handcrafted perfection, and a dash of everyday glamour. Think bold architecture meets Indian design sensibility, wrapped in a bow of jewelry-worthy detail.
So whether you’re a collector of timepieces, real estate, or just good stories — this one’s worth keeping an eye on. Because when Mantra and Jacob & Co. join forces, it’s not just a home, it’s a legacy in the making.
