ELLE Residences to Debut in the Middle East on Dubai Islands

Following its successful foray into the residential sector with a landmark tower in Miami, iconic French fashion and lifestyle brand ELLE is set to make its Middle East debut with ELLE Residences Dubai Islands. In collaboration with ANAX Developments, the project will bring ELLE’s signature blend of fashion-forward design, individuality, and cultural sophistication to Dubai’s luxurious waterfront.

At an official signing ceremony, Satish Sanpal, Chairman of ANAX Holding, and François Coruzzi, CEO of ELLE International Licenses / Lagardère Group, announced the strategic partnership that will give rise to this architectural and lifestyle destination in the UAE. The project will be developed under a licensing agreement with Lagardère News, part of the Lagardère Group.

A Landmark Fusion of Parisian Style and Dubai Luxury

ELLE Residences Dubai Islands will be designed by The One Atelier, the global firm known for translating fashion brands like Dolce & Gabbana and Fendi Casa into luxurious living spaces. The creative direction will also include ARQUINAUT, the design studio behind the original ELLE Residences concept, overseeing both architecture and interior aesthetics.

This collaboration marks a bold new chapter for ELLE, as it brings its celebrated lifestyle ethos to one of the world’s most exciting and design-forward cities. With beachfront access, panoramic skyline views, and proximity to Dubai’s cultural and retail districts, the development is poised to become a defining symbol of modern living.

Strategic Vision and Local Expertise

Partnering with ANAX Developments allows ELLE to align with a firm deeply rooted in the local real estate ecosystem. Known for its innovation and high-end developments, ANAX brings vital market knowledge and a refined understanding of the needs of Dubai’s discerning residents.

“This project will be a defining expression of purposeful, joyful living that reflects the essence of ELLE,” said Satish Sanpal, Chairman of ANAX Developments. “Dubai’s vibrant energy and global outlook make it the perfect location for this vision.”

Elevating Branded Living in the UAE

Constance Benqué, CEO of ELLE International and Lagardère News, expressed her enthusiasm for the expansion into the Middle East. “This second branded residence blends timeless French flair with Dubai’s bold energy, offering a unique and elevated lifestyle.”

From fashion-infused interiors to wellness offerings and vibrant social spaces, ELLE Residences Dubai Islands promises a living experience that is both chic and soulful.

“This is a rare opportunity to create a project that resonates emotionally and culturally with a global audience,” added Michele Galli, CEO of The One Atelier.

A New Era for Branded Residences

As the demand for branded residences continues to grow in Dubai, the arrival of ELLE Residences underscores a shift toward lifestyle-centric developments that prioritize design, emotion, and cultural resonance. This project cements ELLE’s position not only as a fashion powerhouse but also as a lifestyle innovator, making waves in the real estate world.
