Project Overview
The KARL LAGERFELD Villas project, a collaboration with the globally renowned KARL LAGERFELD brand, comprises 51 ultra-luxury villas. Each villa features five to seven bedrooms, bespoke interiors, private gardens, and exclusive access to a clubhouse. Overlooking the Crystal Lagoon with panoramic views of Downtown Dubai, the villas embody the elegance and creativity synonymous with the legacy of the legendary designer Karl Lagerfeld. The project is targeted for completion in the fourth quarter of 2027.
The KARL LAGERFELD brand, known for its ready-to-wear collections, furniture under KARL LAGERFELD MAISON, and hospitality ventures, operates over 200 stores worldwide, with key locations in Paris, London, Munich, Dubai, and Shanghai. Its commitment to sustainability, evidenced by joining the Fashion Pact in 2019, adds further prestige to this collaboration.

Taraf’s appointment of Pinnacle International marks a significant milestone in the project’s development.
