Taraf, the real estate division of UAE-headquartered investment holding group Yas Holding, has commenced the groundbreaking of Karl Lagerfeld Villas in Meydan, a landmark development that marks the brand’s debut in the Middle East residential market. Upon completion, the development will deliver 51 villas.
With plot sizes ranging from 721 square metres to 1,790 square metres, and homes offering between five to seven bedrooms, the villas are framed by gardens, immersive water features, and full-length pools that reflect sunlight through feature windows and open atriums.
Mohamed Eldahan, CEO of Taraf, commented, “Breaking ground on Karl Lagerfeld Villas is more than a construction milestone—it’s the beginning of a new chapter for luxury living in Dubai. This project exemplifies our design-led philosophy and commitment to collaborating with globally revered creative houses. We are proud to bring to life a concept that is not only exclusive in its design but also timeless in its lifestyle offering.”
The community’s private clubhouse features leisure amenities, including lounges, a library, a wellness deck, and a swimming pool. It also offers a lagoon and boasts panoramic skyline views.
Pier Paolo Righi, CEO of Karl Lagerfeld, said, “Karl was always inspired by the world of architecture. Through this visionary collaboration with Taraf, we are translating his creativity into immersive living environments. These villas will offer a unique opportunity for residents to experience the world of Karl—where luxury, art, and innovation converge.”
The villas are strategically located in the prime district of Nad Al Sheba, just minutes from Downtown Dubai. The development is also aligned with Dubai’s broader urban vision for 2030 and beyond, contributing to the city’s ambition to remain a global hub for luxury, innovation, and lifestyle excellence.
As Karl Lagerfeld’s first branded residential villa project in the Middle East, and the brands fourth globally, the development joins a prestigious international portfolio that includes properties in Marbella, Lisbon, and Melaka, as well as a hotel in Macau.
