Missoni launches new residential project in Dubai

Missoni‘s expansion into real estate continues apace as it unveils a new project in Dubai, developed in partnership with one of the region’s leading players, Octa Development. The initiative follows the February launch of Trio Isle by Missoni in the UAE emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, specifically on Al Marjan Island.

Missoni and Octa Development – the real estate development arm of Octa Properties – have announced the launch of their new residential project at Dubai Islands, Island A: Octa Isle Interiors by Missoni, featuring an exclusive collection of two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom apartments. Dubai Islands, with their expansive beaches, world-class leisure attractions, and vibrant marina, boast continually expanding infrastructure, making them an ideal choice for those seeking a refined waterfront lifestyle.

Octa Isle Interiors by Missoni offers a resort-inspired lifestyle set within the island’s natural landscape. The building features a broad array of distinctive amenities, including an encircling man-made river, an urban beach pool, sports courts, and a Wellness Bay with a Turkish bath, sauna and spa treatment suites; all framed by avant-garde interiors in signature Missoni style, combining vibrant colours, geometric forms, and striking graphic elements.

Octa Development, with its team of 120 specialists, has built a strong reputation through partnerships with global brands including Marriott, Elie Saab, Missoni, and Mouawad—for which it is the exclusive partner on luxury real estate projects—as well as W Residences, Pagani, Rove Home, St. Regis Residences, and Franck Muller.

With more than 8,000 units sold and a transaction value exceeding AED 16 billion, the Octa brand has established itself as a leading force in the region for branded residences. Its current portfolio includes Trio Isle Interiors by Missoni in Ras Al Khaimah and Octa Isle at Dubai Islands, part of a strategic development plan across the archipelago, with a total projected value in excess of AED 2 billion.

Missoni, a leading Italian fashion house, was founded in 1953 by Ottavio Missoni (who died in 2013) and Rosita Jelmini (who passed away in January 2025). In 2024, it recorded turnover of €108.56 million and has more than 300 employees. Championing a vibrant and optimistic aesthetic, the maison encompasses a wide range of ready-to-wear for women and men, sportswear, beachwear, textile accessories, and home furnishings. In 2018, it entered into a partnership with Fondo Strategico Italiano (FSI) to strengthen its visibility and significant potential.
