Lacasa, a multidisciplinary architectural and engineering firm renowned in the region for its decade-long design expertise, has announced its entry into real estate development through the launch of its new division, Lacasa Living. 

 

Lacasa Living has outlined an ambitious growth trajectory, with six projects already designed and ready for development. The company projects AED1.2 billion ($330 million) in project values for 2025, AED2 billion for 2026, and AED3 billion for 2027. 

 

Each project will emphasise ready-to-move-in properties that combine bespoke design and boutique living in a functionality, community-centric environment. Lacasa Living has partnered with One Broker Group, an award-winning, developer-focussed real estate agency to prioritise the sales interest of end users and investors for their upcoming launches of bespoke residential projects across the UAE. 

 

Landmark projects

This marks a transformative step for the company, which has been instrumental in delivering landmark projects across residential, hospitality, and mixed-use developments, as well as top-of-the-range interior designs services. The new venture aims to bring bespoke developments that emphasise intelligent design and meticulous craftsmanship. 

 

Lacasa Living’s boutique developments will focus on key markets in the UAE with upcoming projects in Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) & Lusail in Qatar. Designed with the end user in mind, Lacasa Living will deliver a portfolio that ranges from architectural marvels of ultra-luxury, private villas from their Signature Collection to smart and modern bespoke residential apartments and holiday homes. 

 

Recently, Lacasa reestablished its capabilities with the handover of an AED120 million worth private villa in Dubai Hills. In January 2025, the division will unveil its Exclusive Residential Developments with its first project of bespoke apartments coming up on Al Marjan Island in RAK, targeting the thriving real estate market with functional, stylish apartments in prime locations targeting end users and investors alike.

 

What sets Lacasa Living apart is their cumulative architectural and engineering expertise and the vision of over 500 professionals that bring to life a deeply personal and intentional approach to design. Every detail, from furnishings to home accessories is keenly focused on creating thoughtful spaces and vibrant communities that reflect both character and refined design.

“Our entry into real estate development is a natural evolution of our journey in the architectural and design industry. For years, we’ve collaborated with some of the region’s most prestigious developers, delivering iconic projects that bring a sense of purpose, creativity, and thoughtfulness that will continue to be at the heart of every project we build.

We approach every project with a holistic mindset, hand-picking strategic locations, rethinking traditional solutions and creating spaces that meet the unique demands of today. Therefore, each design element is intentional and each aspect of the space serves a purpose that inspires connection, belonging, and beauty. We are here to carve a niche for ourselves where we curate homes that are as complete as the life lived within them,” added Eng Ahmad Jaber, CEO, Lacasa Living.--TradeArabia News Service
