The project marks the latest expansion of the group’s Mandarin Oriental Residences portfolio and further strengthens its presence in the Middle East
The development is owned by Emirates Palace Company (EPCO) and
is being developed in partnership with LEAD Development. The project will comprise 35
ultra-luxury private mansions located within the grounds of Emirates Palace,
Mandarin Oriental in Abu Dhabi.
Mandarin Oriental
will provide residential services for the mansions on behalf of the owner. The
residences will be positioned along one of the UAE’s major natural shorelines,
with each mansion designed to emphasise privacy, sea views and landscaped outdoor
spaces including courtyards and gardens.
According to the
developers, the architectural concept draws inspiration from Abu Dhabi’s
heritage and coastal environment, combined with a contemporary design approach.
Residents will have
access to a range of private amenities including a residents’ lounge with a
Mandarin Oriental tea library, private meeting and work rooms, a
residential-style bar and a private beach club with cabanas, a children’s room,
golf simulator and chef’s table.
The development will also incorporate hospitality services linked to Emirates Palace, Mandarin Oriental.
H.E. Humaid Matar
AlDhaheri, Board Member at Emirates Palace Company (EPCO),
said: “This development represents a
significant addition to the urban landscape of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and
reflects the growing confidence in its real estate sector. Its association with
Emirates Palace grants it exceptional value, as the Palace is considered one of
the region’s most iconic landmarks. This, in turn, contributes to reinforcing
Abu Dhabi’s position as a capital of urban innovation and quality of life.”
Mounir Haidar, Co-founder of LEAD Development, added: “Building within the grounds of Emirates Palace is a
responsibility we do not take lightly. Our mission is to ensure the residences
belong naturally within the broader architectural and cultural context of the
Palace and Abu Dhabi. This is not simply a residential address, but part of
placemaking hospitality with a context that will continue to further position
Abu Dhabi as a unique destination in the region.”
Laurent Kleitman, Group Chief Executive of Mandarin Oriental, said: “Abu Dhabi continues to distinguish itself internationally through the depth of its cultural identity, the quality of its hospitality, and the clarity of its long-term vision. Emirates Palace, Mandarin Oriental Mansions, allows us to further our relationship with the capital through a residential experience rooted in discretion, craftsmanship, and thoughtful service. We are honoured to contribute to a setting that holds such significance within the region.”
