By First Stone Real Estate · Luxury Off-Plan Specialists · Updated 2026
Off plan property by Elie Saab represents the absolute apex of branded residential luxury. The legendary Lebanese fashion house does not build standard properties; they design interiors and architectural aesthetics for extreme-scarcity projects built by the UAE's finest developers. Through an exclusive partnership with Emaar Properties, they launched the iconic Grand Bleu Tower in Dubai Marina and the sprawling Elie Saab Villas in Arabian Ranches 3. In 2026, they expanded into Abu Dhabi with STELLAR by Elie Saab in Yas Bay. Investing in these assets guarantees a massive secondary-market premium and automatic UAE Golden Visa status.

What is off plan property by Elie Saab?
Off plan property by Elie Saab is the acquisition of a luxury residence—fully interior-designed by the Elie Saab Maison team—before its physical construction is completed.
In the branded real estate ecosystem, the fashion house provides the creative direction, the bespoke Italian furnishings, and the brand prestige, while a tier-one developer (like Emaar) handles the heavy construction and master-planning. This synergy results in properties that transcend real estate, becoming highly liquid, collectible art pieces for international Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals (UHNWIs). Your investment is fully secured in a government-regulated escrow account.
Why Elie Saab: The Branded Residence Premium
Standard ROI metrics do not apply to haute couture real estate. Investors acquire Elie Saab properties strictly for capital preservation and aggressive secondary-market appreciation.
- The 30-40% Price Premium: Global real estate data proves that fashion-branded residences (like Elie Saab, Bulgari, or Cavalli) command up to a 40% premium on resale compared to non-branded luxury properties located on the exact same street.
- Emaar Construction Quality: By partnering with Emaar for their Dubai projects, investors eliminate all completion risk. You get the world's most elegant fashion brand built by the Middle East's most reliable developer.
- Unmatched Scarcity: Elie Saab limits their real estate footprint globally. An Elie Saab Villa in Arabian Ranches 3 is one of a strictly limited collection, ensuring its value remains artificially high due to lack of supply.
- Global Liquidity: A buyer from London, Beijing, or New York instantly recognizes the Elie Saab brand, making the property incredibly easy to flip on the international secondary market.
The Flagship Masterpieces
Elie Saab properties are defined by vintage Art Deco architecture, Miami Beach glamor, and bespoke Italian furnishings. Here is the active portfolio:
