Elle Residences Properties for Sale

Elle Residences is the first residential project for the ELLE brand in the Middle East, and only its second anywhere in the world after the brand’s residential tower in Miami. Developed by ANAX Developments on Dubai Islands, the scheme is a compact seafront collection of 98 homes: 91 apartments and 7 signature townhouses, all with direct access to the waterfront. Construction is under way, following a groundbreaking ceremony that ANAX used to present the next stage of its own growth as a developer.

The design brief draws on ELLE’s five editorial pillars of fashion, beauty, culture, lifestyle and society, translated into architecture by The One Atelier and ARQUINAUT. The result is a building with a distinctly Parisian sensibility adapted to a coastal setting. Interiors are layered with sculptural fireplaces, bespoke wallpapers, bronze accents, marble and art, lit softly rather than brightly, while floor-to-ceiling glazing and wraparound terraces open each home to the sea and to the skyline across the water.

The residences begin with one-bedroom apartments and continue through two and three-bedroom layouts, with the collection completed by three and four-bedroom townhouses arranged as duplexes. The largest townhouses reach around 4,592 square feet and have their own private entrance, giving them the feel of a house rather than an apartment. Throughout, the plans are organised around indoor and outdoor flow, with private terraces placed to catch the waterfront views and the changing light over the Gulf.

Shared facilities are designed around wellness and informal social life. Residents have a swimming pool and a rooftop sky lounge with a bar, a small plunge pool, sauna and jacuzzi, and an outdoor yoga area. Fitness is covered by indoor and outdoor gyms and a jogging track, while families have a children’s play area, an outdoor cinema, a mini golf course and barbecue spaces. Day-to-day living is supported by a staffed lobby with concierge, valet parking, a pool guard and 24-hour security.

Dubai Islands is the reclaimed waterfront district off the Deira coast, planned around beaches, marinas, parks and resort hotels and linked to the mainland by bridge. From Elle Residences, the older neighbourhoods of Deira, with their souks and dining, are a short drive away, and Dubai International Airport is close by, which makes the address practical for owners who travel frequently or divide the year between cities.

ANAX Developments belongs to ANAX Holding, a group with more than two decades of activity in the UAE, and is led by founder and chairman Satish Sanpal. The company has appointed International Foundation Group as enabling works contractor for the foundations, and reports that the project sold out shortly after launch, a clear signal of demand for branded homes on the islands. For end-users the appeal lies in the small scale, the beach and the design identity; for investors, in owning part of a limited and recognisable branded collection in a district that is still taking shape.
