Mr. Eight Development’s latest project on Dubai Islands, Villa del GAVI, has surpassed sales expectations—securing over 60 per cent of its units just weeks after its official launch.
The luxurious waterfront development was unveiled at an exclusive, star-studded event held at Atlantis The Royal, drawing a discerning crowd of celebrities, investors, influencers, and real estate insiders. A major highlight of the evening was the presence of Academy Award-winning actor Adrien Brody, who took part in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Brody, who recently starred in The Brutalist—a film centered on an architect’s bold vision—brought symbolic weight and global attention to the event. His presence reflected the project's deep architectural philosophy, rooted in timeless design and creative vision.
A Bold Second Act for Mr. Eight Development
Following the near sell-out of its debut project Villa del DIVOS, Mr. Eight Development’s second Dubai Islands venture continues to capture market attention with its curated approach to luxury.
“We believe true luxury starts with space, design and experience,” said Emils Daujats, Director at Mr. Eight Development. “That’s why we chose not to include one-bedroom units. This philosophy resonates with our buyers—and the results speak for themselves.”
The remaining inventory includes a limited number of two- and three-bedroom residences, with nearly all four-bedroom layouts already sold. Corner units with direct sea views remain especially popular, as buyers prioritize panoramic water views over pricing.
European Demand Drives Momentum
Demand is primarily driven by European buyers, who represent approximately 90 per cent of sales. Investors from Germany, Spain, France, Belgium, and the UK are leading the charge, with growing interest also coming from China and Japan.
This demand underscores a trend toward boutique-style, high-design living that emphasizes space, privacy and long-term value—key principles in all Mr. Eight projects.
Premium Living, Elevated Amenities
Starting from AED 3.6 million, Villa del GAVI residences are available with a flexible 35/65 payment plan, and handover is scheduled for Q4 2027.
The 12-storey building features elegant finishes such as Italian travertine stone, Fabel Casa kitchens, SMEG appliances, and Tom Dixon fixtures. Residents enjoy access to two infinity pools, a Technogym fitness centre, and a suite of exclusive amenities via the Mr. Eight Priority Club.
A Lifestyle Like No Other on Dubai Islands
The Mr. Eight Priority Club unites all residences under a single premium lifestyle umbrella, offering:
- Chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce transportation
- A private Riva motorboat with a captain
- Personalized services like in-home spa treatments, childcare, personal training, and 24/7 maintenance
- Shared access to electric golf carts and island-wide experiences
This all-inclusive, luxury-first lifestyle offering remains unmatched anywhere else on Dubai Islands.
With Villa del GAVI’s swift success, Mr. Eight Development is entering its most ambitious phase yet. Several new launches are in the pipeline—both on Dubai Islands and across the broader city—alongside a series of immersive, high-profile brand events.
Each development reaffirms Mr. Eight’s mission: to redefine premium living through thoughtful design, elite experiences, and a sense of community that lasts.
