Overview: Haute Couture Meets High-Rise Living Elegance Tower is Damac Properties' landmark branded residence in Downtown Dubai — a 26-storey tower co-designed with Zuhair Murad, one of the world's most celebrated couture fashion designers. It represents the first-ever residential tower created in partnership with the Lebanese-French fashion house, translating the designer's signature aesthetic — crystal embellishments, mirror work, feminine silhouettes, and a color palette of ivory, gold, and rose — directly into the architectural and interior language of a luxury residential building. With 296 apartments across 26 floors and views that encompass the Burj Khalifa, Za'abeel Park's vast greenery, and the glittering curves of the Dubai Canal, Elegance Tower occupies a position in Downtown Dubai that is both visually privileged and commercially strategic. The development is positioned for Q1 2026 handover, making it a near-term off-plan investment with a clear rental income horizon. For buyers seeking Damac's branded residence expertise in Dubai's most internationally recognized address — combined with the couture prestige of the Zuhair Murad name and genuinely competitive 1BR pricing at AED 2.8M for Downtown — Elegance Tower offers a compelling blend of lifestyle differentiation and investment fundamentals. --- ## 2. Zuhair Murad: The Designer Behind the Tower Zuhair Murad is one of the world's most decorated fashion designers — a Lebanese-born, Paris-educated couturier whose gowns have been worn by virtually every major Hollywood actress, international royalty, and global celebrity. He is known for creating pieces that are simultaneously architectural and sensuous: structured forms richly embroidered with crystals, feathers, and fine embellishments. ### Design Aesthetic Applied to Elegance Tower:
• Crystal Embellishments: The grand lobby features a mesmerizing installation of mirrors, crystals, and bespoke displays showcasing actual Zuhair Murad couture creations — creating an entrance experience unlike any other residential building in Dubai
• Feminine Elegance: The building's color palette and material selections draw on the designer's signature ivory, champagne, gold, and blush tones — creating an interior language that is warm, refined, and distinctly differentiated from the cooler, industrial tones common in contemporary Downtown Dubai developments
• Couture Details: Apartment interiors feature bespoke fixtures and finish selections curated by the Zuhair Murad team — ensuring the brand's aesthetic is present at the unit level, not merely in the lobby
• Fashion Display: The lobby serves as a permanent showcase of the Zuhair Murad fashion house's most celebrated pieces — creating a cultural and artistic environment that functions simultaneously as a private art installation --- ## 3. Location: Downtown Dubai — The Most Recognized Address Elegance Tower is situated in Downtown Dubai — the district anchored by the Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall, the Dubai Fountain, and Dubai Opera.

• 1BR apartments: AED 95,000–160,000 per annum
• 2BR apartments: AED 150,000–250,000 per annum
• Short-term rental (Airbnb/holiday): AED 800–2,500 per night for 1BR; AED 1,200–4,000 per night for 2BR
• Gross yields for long-term rental: 5%–7%
• Short-term rental operators in Downtown can achieve 7%–12% gross yields given the tourism volume ### Zuhair Murad Brand Premium: Branded residences globally command 20%–35% premium over comparable non-branded stock (, data). For a fashion-branded property in Downtown Dubai with a 296-unit building, the brand scarcity effect is amplified — there is simply no other Zuhair Murad residential building anywhere in the world. ### Capital Appreciation (Off-Plan Period): With Q1 2026 handover from a Q4 2022 launch, buyers have approximately a 3-year off-plan appreciation window. Downtown Dubai off-plan branded projects have historically delivered 15%–30% capital appreciation during their construction period. ### Payment Plan:
• 20% On Booking (Q4 2022)
• 60% During Construction
• 20% On Completion (Q1 2026) ### UAE Golden Visa: All purchases of AED 2M+ qualify for the UAE 10-Year Investor Golden Visa. --- ## 7. Why Elegance Tower Stands Apart 1. The Only Zuhair Murad Residential Building in the World — Global scarcity creates a permanent marketing narrative and rental premium that non-branded buildings cannot replicate

2. Crystal Lobby Experience — An entrance that functions as a private fashion museum — the most memorable first impression of any Downtown Dubai building
3. Burj Khalifa + Za'abeel + Canal Views — Three distinct and spectacular view corridors from a single building
4. Pool Bar — A hotel-standard amenity rarely found in Downtown Dubai residential buildings, creating a genuine lifestyle differentiator
5. 296 Units, 26 Floors — Boutique-ish scale that maintains building intimacy while supporting comprehensive amenity infrastructure
6. Q1 2026 Handover — Near-term investment window with limited remaining construction risk
7. AED 2.8M Downtown Entry — Competitive pricing for 1BR in Downtown Dubai's branded residence segment --- ## 8. Conclusion Elegance Tower by Damac Properties is Downtown Dubai's most fashion-forward branded residence — a 26-storey, 296-unit tower where the Zuhair Murad couture aesthetic transforms the lobby, interiors, and amenity spaces into a daily luxury experience entirely unlike any comparable building in the district. With Burj Khalifa views, a podium pool bar, a gaming area, and 1BR apartments starting at AED 2.8M in the world's most photographed urban address — targeted for Q1 2026 handover — Elegance Tower combines fashion uniqueness with Downtown Dubai's proven investment fundamentals.
