Oscar winner Adrien Brody at the Mr. Eight launch in Dubai Islands

Published

Mr. Eight

Mr. Eight Development has achieved a significant milestone. Just weeks after its launch, Mr. Eight Development sold over 60% of the units at its latest Dubai Islands project, Villa del GAVI, far exceeding initial expectations. The developer’s inaugural project – Villa del DIVOS – is nearing full occupancy, with only a few of units left.

The stunning waterfront development was officially unveiled at an exclusive event at Atlantis The Royal, attracting an elite crowd of celebrities, influencers, investors and industry insiders. Among the distinguished guests was Academy award-winning actor Adrien Brody, who participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Brody’s presence brought international attention and artistic depth to the event. His recent lead role in the film The Brutalist — where he portrays an architect building a bold new future — strongly resonated with the architectural philosophy behind Villa del GAVI. The connection between cinematic narrative and real-world design made his appearance especially significant, reflecting the project’s vision of timeless, expressive, and purpose-driven architecture.

The project’s success is largely driven by European buyers, who comprise approximately 90% of the buyers. Most of these investors come from Germany, Spain, France, Belgium and the UK, with growing interest from Japan and China.

“We believe that true luxury starts with space, design and experience,” said Emils Daujats, Director at Mr. Eight Development. “That’s why we made the decision not to include one-bedroom units in Villa del GAVI. This curated approach resonates with our buyers and the sales success to date proves the market is ready for a more thoughtful take on premium living.

“Our buyers are driven by quality, service and above all, uninterrupted sea views. When a unit offers a direct view of the water, price becomes secondary. These homes are limited, and demand is intense,” he added.

At Villa del GAVI, a limited selection of two- and three-bedroom residences, including premium corner units with sea views, remains available. Four-bedroom layouts are nearly sold out. Prices start at AED 3.6 million with a flexible 35/65 payment plan, and handover is scheduled for Q4 2027.

Villa del GAVI is the second project by Mr. Eight Development on Dubai Islands, continuing the brand’s philosophy of creating boutique-inspired residences with high-quality finishes. Each home in the 12-story tower offers expansive views of the Gulf and boasts interiors featuring Italian travertine stone, Fabel Casa kitchens, SMEG appliances and Tom Dixon fixtures. The building also provides curated lifestyle amenities, including two infinity pools, a Technogym fitness center, and exclusive access to the Mr. Eight Priority Club.

The Mr. Eight Priority Club brings together all of the brand’s residences on Dubai Islands into one exclusive community. Residents enjoy shared access to a variety of luxury experiences—including chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce cars, a private Riva motorboat with a captain, golf carts and à la carte services such as in-residence spa treatments, personal training, childcare and 24/7 maintenance—making it the only lifestyle offering of its kind on the island.

Mr. Eight Development is entering its strongest phase yet, with several new launches scheduled this year on Dubai Islands and other projects across Dubai that have yet to be announced. The pipeline reflects the brand’s bold vision and steady momentum. A series of high-impact events is also planned, each offering visitors a unique and immersive experience that embodies the elevated lifestyle behind every Mr. Eight project.
