Royal Development Holding & Radisson Hotel Group Unveil Radisson Residences Al Reem Island, a New Waterfront Landmark in Abu Dhabi

Radisson Residences Al Reem Island rises as the world’s first-ever standalone Radisson Residences.

Royal Development Holding (RDH), a premier real estate development firm and a subsidiary of Emirates Stallions Group (ADX: ESG), announced a major new chapter in the evolution of its branded-residential portfolio: Radisson Residences Al Reem Island, a premium waterfront development shaped by the serene natural rhythms of Abu Dhabi’s mangrove belt, and the first-ever standalone Radisson Residences in the world, underlining Abu Dhabi’s pioneering positioning as a regional and global hub for branded real estate projects. 

Designed around the concept of immersive coastal living, the AED 1.2bn project represents a strategic collaboration between Royal Development Holding and Radisson Hotel Group. It comprises 3 towers over a shared podium, consisting each of a promenade level, a ground level, 4 podium, one amenities floor and 24 residential floors featuring a diverse mix of unit types, ranging from studios to 1-to-3BR apartments, 2BR-townhouses and 4BR-townhouses. 

Set along Al Reem Island’s most tranquil waterfront edge, just 20 minutes from Downtown Abu Dhabi, and overlooking one of Abu Dhabi’s most defining ecological landscapes, Radisson Residences Al Reem Island introduces a refined architectural language that blends understated sophistication with nature-first design. It also signals Royal Development Holding’s strengthened positioning within the rapidly expanding branded residences sector, a market the developer has been shaping with growing expertise.

Envisioned as a calm, contemporary retreat within the city, the project is crafted around a series of elegant architectural volumes that embrace the mangroves and tidal waterways. Floor-to-ceiling glazing, generous balconies, and outdoor-oriented layouts create uninterrupted views of the water, shifting tides, and lush green mangrove canopy, a setting that elevates daily life into a nature-connected experience.

The interiors extend the project’s coastal identity. Natural materials, subtle textures, and warm timber and porcelain palettes echo the colours of the shoreline, while soft architectural lines support a lifestyle centered on balance, comfort, and well-being. The development features a curated suite of world-class wellness amenities, from a sunlit pool deck with panoramic water views to fitness centers, yoga studios and recreational lounges seamlessly integrated into landscaped courtyards and waterfront pathways, all complemented by top-notch concierge services with additional privileges made accessible through the Radisson Rewards Program.

Beyond its private realm, the residences are connected to a growing network of boutique retail, waterfront dining, and leisure experiences that are establishing Al Reem Island as one of Abu Dhabi’s most sought-after lifestyle destinations.

The rise of branded residences across the UAE has accelerated demand for developments that combine global hospitality standards with design-led urban living. Royal Development Holding has emerged as one of the country’s most active players in this segment, assembling a portfolio that brings together international brands and distinctive site-specific concepts.

Tariq Nazzal, CEO of Royal Development Holding, commented: “Radisson Residences Al Reem Island offers a rare opportunity with real momentum behind it. It is the first standalone Radisson Residences worldwide and the first branded residence in Al Reem that will be completed by end of 2027, marking another step in Royal Development Holding’s mission to craft transformative living environments in the UAE and beyond. This mangrove-front project introduces a model of elevated waterfront living anchored in design integrity, well-being, and community. As branded residences continue to rise as a preferred lifestyle choice in the region, Royal Development Holding is leveraging its expertise and growing portfolio to deliver projects that resonate with both end-users and investors seeking long-term value, while also leaving a lasting impression on the UAE’s real estate landscape through innovative projects and global firsts.”

Elie Milky, Chief Development Officer for the Middle East, Northeast Africa, Greece & Cyprus of Radisson Hotel Group added: “Our collaboration with Royal Development Holding brings Radisson Residences to one of Abu Dhabi’s most compelling waterfront locations. The project’s nature-led design, immersive coastal lifestyle, and hospitality-enhanced residential experience reflect our vision for modern branded living. Together with Royal Development Holding, we are shaping a destination where design, well-being, and the uniqueness of place converge in a meaningful way. We are proud of this strategic collaboration as we continue to grow our quality footprint in Abu Dhabi and across the UAE.”

Radisson Residences Al Reem Island blends understated architectural elegance with deep respect for its natural context. Its mangrove-inspired design, expansive water views, and lifestyle-forward amenities position it as a defining addition to Abu Dhabi’s coastline, testifying to Royal Development Holding’s long-term commitment to delivering distinctive, human-centered communities that evolve spaces and elevate lives.

Royal Development Holding strengthens its branded-residences portfolio with a nature-immersive branded residence concept designed around Abu Dhabi’s mangroves and tidal waterfront.

PUMA Brings Its Global Lounge Experience to Dubai with the City’s Creative Culture Set as the Centre

PUMA brought one of its most celebrated global experiences to Dubai with the launch of the PUMA Lounge Dubai Edition, a concept that has travelled through Milan, Seoul and Paris, and now landed in a city whose creative energy the global team had been watching and loving.

The Lounge was about meeting the community where culture is being made. That meant opening the doors not only to influencers, but to the culture shifters and curators shaping the region’s creative scene every day, the talents setting visual language, driving style conversations and influencing how culture shows up both online and offline from photographers, directors, editors, artists, creatives and more.

Inside the space, guests were given first access to global PUMA drops that had not yet launched in the region. From apparel to sneakers, the pieces were curated directly from PUMA’s global teams, offering Dubai’s creative community an early look at what was coming next on a global level.

Beyond access, the PUMA Lounge marked a first of its kind in the region at this scale, operating as a true gifting lounge experience, both in terms of the volume of attendees and the breadth of products on offer. Over the two days, it was striking to see how the same PUMA pieces were styled in completely different ways across talents, reflecting the diversity of creative expression within Dubai’s community.

The Lounge also brought together some of the city’s favorites, featuring a customization station by Black Pearl Charms, a locally grown charms business where invitees created one off, personalized sneaker pairs, alongside a coffee bar by Knot Bakehouse, the Emirati-owned brand and community favorite.

From the Speedcat range including the Lux Ballet, the Wedge and the bold Cow Print, Mostro’s including XC Prime and Fey Gorp Sneakers and H-Street Premium Sneakers, the Lounge showcased PUMA’s range across fashion and sports style. Guests also explored key global collaborations including PUMA x REPRESENT and the highly anticipated A$AP ROCKY x PUMA collection.

The experience extended beyond the Lounge itself, coming to life throughout Sole DXB weekend, where talents were seen wearing their exclusive PUMA pieces across the event, each look styled in a distinctly personal way, reinforcing the brand’s connection to individual expression and culture.

This isn’t just another local event for PUMA Middle East but instead bringing a globally recognized concept to life in Dubai that’s inspired by the talent, creativity, and energy of the local community.

Mitsubishi ASX.. The Compact, Practical SUV Designed for Everyday Adventure

With a fresh look, modern technology and a more powerful engine, The Mitsubishi ASX adopts the brand’s latest Dynamic Shield front design language with LED headlights and taillights. Mitsubishi also designed a fresh rear skid plate finished in silver to make the ASX seem a bit more rugged. A similar change has been made at the front bumper to complete the look. Out back, LED taillights work with conventional turn indicators in the reconfigured tail lamps, while a rear fascia and bumper design deletes a lot of chrome work and sharpens its visage.

When a vehicle is detected while the turn signal is on, an indicator blinks in the corresponding door mirror and a buzzer sounds.

The available 7-airbag system helps protect every passenger in every seat. For protection in frontal collisions, front passengers get front airbags and a knee airbag on the driver's side. In a side collision, front passengers are protected by side airbags while both rows are protected by curtain airbags.

When Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) is active, an indicator appears in the combination meter display. If radar sensors in the rear bumper detect an approaching vehicle nearby while reverse gear is engaged, a warning message appears in the multi-information display, a buzzer sounds and an indicator blinks in both door mirrors. The T-shaped rear combination lamps have a wide and stable look and feel. The brake lights illuminate independently for better visibility.

The ASX is also equipped with Hill Start Assist (HSA) system that makes it easy to start off on a steep uphill slope by preventing the vehicle from rolling backward. When a gradient is detected, it automatically maintains the braking force until the accelerator is applied.
