Get ready to trade in ordinary for extraordinary—because ELEVATE and Ennismore just dropped some seriously exciting news that’s about to shake up the UAE’s luxury living scene. Imagine waking up every day to the sound of waves, views that belong in a gallery, and a lifestyle so chic it practically deserves its own passport stamp. That’s the vibe Mondrian Al Marjan Island Beach Residences is bringing to the table—and yes, it’s very much invited to the party.
So, what’s the scoop?
In a move that has us mentally packing our (designer) bags, visionary real estate brand ELEVATE and lifestyle hospitality heavyweight Ennismore are launching the region’s first-ever beachfront Mondrian residences. That’s right—Mondrian is bringing its bold, artsy, impossibly cool energy to the UAE. The $500 million development is headed to Al Marjan Island, the rising star of luxury living, with doors set to open in Q4 2028.
Cue the slow clap.
This isn’t just any real estate deal—it’s a statement. Signed by Zeeshaan Shah of ELEVATE and Louis Abboud of Ennismore, with Arch. Abdulla Al Abdouli, CEO of Marjan, is cheering it on; this partnership is the stuff of lifestyle dreams. Think beach, bold architecture, wellness vibes, and a curated cultural scene, all wrapped up with Mondrian’s signature flair.
Al Marjan Island, meet your new icon
Already making waves as a lifestyle-led development hotspot, Al Marjan Island just landed a next-level upgrade. Arch. Abdulla Al Abdouli called it a creative boost to the island’s growing portfolio—and we couldn’t agree more. This isn’t just about fancy apartments. It’s about crafting a community that thrives on energy, design, and well-being.
Mondrian Beach Residences are designed to be the talk of the island. Picture private beach access (check), jaw-dropping interiors (double check), wellness amenities that make your gym jealous, and cultural programming curated to make your weekends unforgettable.
Why Mondrian? Why now?
Let’s be honest—Mondrian doesn’t just exist in cities. It owns them. From LA to Ibiza to Seoul, this brand oozes creative cool. So when Zeeshaan Shah, Founder of ELEVATE, said they “carefully selected Mondrian for this location,” he meant business. And when he called it “the icon of Marjan Island,” we knew this was about more than just beachfront views. It’s about making a statement—stylishly.
Plus, with a $1 billion development pipeline in the UAE over the next 12 months, ELEVATE is going all in. This isn’t just a one-off. It’s the kickoff to something much bigger (and yes, probably more fabulous).
The energy? Unmatched.
“Creative expression.” “Signature energy.” “Redefining beachfront living.” That’s how Louis Abboud of Ennismore put it—and honestly, we’re sold. This isn’t just another luxury address. It’s a lifestyle you want to live in, not just visit on Instagram.
The big picture
Backed by a real estate transaction track record north of $2.5 billion, One Group isn’t playing around. And for Shah, this venture is more than just numbers. It’s personal. After starting his journey in the UAE two decades ago, this launch feels like a stylish full-circle moment.
And this is just the beginning. ELEVATE’s vision for the UAE? Big. Bold. And anything but basic.
Oh, and one more thing…
Homeowners will also be connected through Accor One Living, which is like the VIP lounge of branded residential life. It’s a 360º platform that seamlessly blends living, working, and playing into one smart, stylish experience—because life’s too short for bad coffee and boring real estate.
- Beachfront Mondrian residences are coming to Al Marjan Island
- Bold design, wellness spaces, curated cultural programming—aka your dream lifestyle
- Brought to you by ELEVATE x Ennismore = a power move with purpose
- Opening in Q4 2028, but we’re already daydreaming about the decor
So, if you’ve been waiting for a sign to upgrade your lifestyle… this is it. Al Marjan Island is about to become the most fashionable address on the coast—and Mondrian’s holding the keys.
