DAMAC tops out the world’s first Cavalli-branded tower; an AED-1 billion ultra-luxury landmark

DAMAC Properties has achieved a significant milestone with the topping out of the Cavalli Tower, a Dh1 billion ($272 million) ultra-luxury residential development in Dubai. This landmark project, the world’s first tower featuring interiors designed by the iconic Italian fashion house Roberto Cavalli, is on track for completion by the end of 2026. The 71-storey tower, located in Dubai Marina, is a testament to architectural innovation and branded elegance, offering 436 units ranging from one to five-bedroom apartments, duplexes, and penthouses with stunning views of the sea, Palm Jumeirah, or Dubai Marina. Designed by award-winning architect Shaun Killa, known for Dubai’s Museum of the Future, the tower boasts bespoke interiors by Roberto Cavalli Home Interiors. Residents will enjoy resort-style amenities, including private sky pools, sky gardens, an infinity pool overlooking the Arabian Gulf, and a Malibu Bay-inspired beach pool. The project’s topping-out ceremony, attended by DAMAC and lead contractor China State Construction Engineering Corporation Middle East (CSCEC ME), marked the completion of the superstructure. Ali Sajwani, Managing Director of DAMAC Group, emphasized the tower’s role in blending fashion, architecture, and art into Dubai’s skyline. Tian Sanchuan, Chairman of CSCEC ME, highlighted the collaboration’s commitment to precision and quality. The launch of Cavalli Tower aligns with DAMAC’s strategy to integrate global fashion heritage into real estate, following its 2019 acquisition of Roberto Cavalli S.p.A. The project is part of a broader portfolio, including DAMAC Bay 1 and 2 by Cavalli and Cavalli Estates in DAMAC Hills. This development comes amid a record-breaking year for Dubai’s real estate sector, with property sales surpassing Dh525 billion in the first 10 months of 2025, driven by demand for branded residences and waterfront properties.
