Luxury fashion brand Taraf introduces the Middle East's inaugural KARL LAGERFELD villas in Dubai, signifying a fresh wave of high-end living influenced by the world of fashion.
Karl Lagerfeld's Luxury Villas Debut in Dubai
In a significant move for the fashion industry, Dubai is set to welcome the first residential project of the Karl Lagerfeld brand in the Middle East. The development, known as Karl Lagerfeld Villas, is being brought to life by Taraf, the real estate division of Yas Holding, marking the brand's fourth global residential venture[1][2].
Located in the prestigious Meydan district, near Nad Al Sheba and just minutes from Downtown Dubai, the villas offer serene waterfront living, with each one boasting crystal-clear lagoon views[1][2]. The development features 51 signature villas, spread across plot sizes ranging from 721 to 1,790 square meters, and offering between five and seven bedrooms[1][3].
The architecture and interiors of the villas are deeply inspired by Karl Lagerfeld’s distinctive Parisian style, his fascination with the 18th century, and the iconic Maison at 21 Rue St Guillaume, Saint-Germain-des-Pres in Paris. The villas showcase minimalist, sleek forms with a monochromatic palette, 'soft modern' and 'urban modern' facade variants, and signature details such as a "catwalk spiral staircase," sunken lounges, dedicated library lounges, Majlis rooms, rooftop terraces, grand walk-in closets, and full-length feature pools[1][3][5].
Residents can also enjoy a private clubhouse pavilion called The Club, offering amenities for all ages, alongside The Library, a lounge inspired by Karl Lagerfeld’s passion for books and intellectual spaces. The villas emphasise design-led luxury, blending artistic heritage with modern living and reflect a commitment to exclusivity, elegance, and innovation[3][4][5].
The project is a collaboration involving senior design and construction partners such as RSP Architects and Dar Al Handasah, with enabling contractor Pinnacle International Piling Foundations LLC and infrastructure work by Dar Alwad. Construction officially began after a groundbreaking ceremony on July 30, 2025, attended by stakeholders from Taraf, Yas Holding, Karl Lagerfeld’s team, and partner firms. The villas are scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2027[1][2][4][5].
The development, a fusion of fashion, architecture, and luxury real estate, brings Karl Lagerfeld’s creative legacy into Dubai’s luxury property landscape[1][2][3][4][5]. The UAE-headquartered investment holding group Yas Holding is overseeing the expansion of the brand into the Middle East residential market, making KARL LAGERFELD VILLAS the debut residential project of the brand in the region.
