Missoni has partnered with Emirates Developments to launch Waterfront by Missoni, a 250-home branded residential tower on Al Reem Island, marking the Italian fashion house's first residential project in Abu Dhabi.

Missoni, the renowned Italian fashion house, has entered Abu Dhabi's real estate market with the launch of Waterfront by Missoni, its first branded residential project in the emirate. Developed in partnership with Emirates Developments, the new tower is situated on Al Reem Island and will feature 250 freehold homes.

Design and Residences

The project emphasizes Missoni's distinctive design language, which will be integrated throughout the common areas and the interiors of all residences. The signature zigzag pattern, a hallmark of Missoni, will be visible across the podium paving, façade cladding, and the tower's mid-section. The oval-shaped tower will feature horizontal fins, giving the exterior a textile-like appearance, complemented by planted balconies.

Residences at Waterfront by Missoni include one to four-bedroom apartments and five-bedroom penthouses located on the 38th floor. All units will be delivered fully fitted and ready for occupancy, complete with integrated kitchen appliances and built-in wardrobes designed to Missoni's specifications. The properties are available for purchase by international buyers.

The development is located within Shams Abu Dhabi on Al Reem Island, offering direct beach access and views of the sea, canal, and city.
