ELEVATE, the UAE lifestyle real estate brand by One Group, has partnered with Ennismore to launch Mondrian Al Marjan Island Beach Residences – the first Mondrian-branded beachfront residences in the UAE – bringing together global design powerhouses Gensler and Bergman Interiors for the project. Located on Ras Al Khaimah’s Al Marjan Island, the $500 million development will feature architecture by San Francisco-based Gensler and interiors by London’s Bergman Interiors, both known for their work in luxury hospitality and branded residential projects. The design is expected to merge Mondrian’s bold, art-driven identity with a beachfront context, creating a landmark residential destination upon its anticipated completion in Q4 2028.
Design-led branded living concept
The Mondrian Al Marjan Island Beach Residences will integrate hotel-grade services within private homes, offering residents exclusive beach access, signature design elements, wellness-focused amenities, and curated cultural programming. The architecture by Gensler will shape the development’s bold spatial identity, while Bergman Interiors will introduce bespoke sophistication across interior spaces, reflecting Mondrian’s avant-garde approach to art, fashion, and urban culture.
Part of a wider regional development strategy
The project forms part of ELEVATE’s $1 billion UAE development pipeline and reflects Ennismore’s expansion of the Mondrian brand beyond hospitality into branded residences. The brand’s global portfolio includes properties in Los Angeles, Mexico, Ibiza, Doha, Singapore, and Seoul, all defined by strong design narratives and cultural relevance.
Statements from project leaders
“We are delighted to welcome the Mondrian Residences to Al Marjan Island as part of our commitment to elevating Marjan’s global stature,” said Arch. Abdulla Al Abdouli. “This collaboration adds a new layer of depth and creativity to our growing portfolio of branded residences on the island.”
Zeeshaan Shah added: “We carefully selected Mondrian for this location as the brand epitomises what Marjan Island is becoming. Renowned for being at the forefront of lifestyle, art, and culture, Mondrian’s are icons in every city they’re in, and this will undoubtedly be the icon of Marjan Island.”
Louis Abboud of Ennismore noted: “Mondrian is a symbol of creative expression, and Al Marjan Island provides the perfect canvas. This development will bring our signature energy to a thriving new destination.”
Operational integration through Accor One Living
Ennismore’s branded residential properties, including Mondrian Al Marjan Island Beach Residences, are supported by Accor One Living, an integrated platform that connects homeowners and residents to Accor’s wider ecosystem of hospitality brands and services, enhancing operational delivery and resident experience. With architecture by Gensler and interiors by Bergman Interiors, the development is set to bring a new dimension of design-led branded living to Ras Al Khaimah’s evolving coastal landscape.
