ELEVATE AND ENNISMORE HOST RAK’S BIGGEST EVENT OF THE SEASON TO UNVEIL THE AED 1.8 BILLION MONDRIAN AL MARJAN ISLAND BEACH RESIDENCES
ELEVATE, the visionary lifestyle real estate brand from One Group, together with Ennismore, the world’s fastest-growing lifestyle hospitality company, officially unveiled the Mondrian Al Marjan Island Beach Residences with an unforgettable one-night immersive launch event at Atlantis The Royal, Dubai. Valued at AED 1.8 billion, the project marks a defining milestone for Ras Al Khaimah, introducing the region’s first-ever Mondrian-branded beachfront residences and reinforcing ELEVATE’s USD 1 billion UAE development pipeline.
Arch. Abdulla Al Abdouli, Group CEO of Marjan, commented, “We are glad to see the excitement around Mondrian Al Marjan Beach Residences, which is a fitting inclusion to our island’s ever-growing portfolio of branded residences. This development truly echoes our vision of creating premium, lifestyle-led destinations and is sure to offer global residents and investors a new benchmark for branded beachfront living.”
Zeeshaan Shah, Founder & Chairman of ELEVATE, stated, “Tonight’s celebration marks a remarkable milestone for ELEVATE. Mondrian Al Marjan Island Beach Residences is more than a development—it is a new expression of what beachfront luxury can be. We have created a space where art, culture, wellness, and community converge in ways never seen before in the UAE. We are proud to present our flagship project and continue elevating the standards of residential living in the region.”
Set on Al Marjan Island, one of the UAE’s fastest-growing luxury and entertainment destinations, the project has witnessed extraordinary demand. With 343 residences rapidly selling out, investor interest continues to surge due to the community’s proximity to Wynn Al Marjan Island, pristine beachfront access, and world-class hospitality offerings by Ennismore. Designed by San Francisco-based architectural firm Gensler, with interiors by London’s Bergman Design House, the development blends bold design with sensory storytelling.
The crown jewel of the project, the 10,000-square-foot Sky Mansion, features 28-foot ceiling heights, a private rooftop garden, and an infinity pool overlooking the Arabian Gulf. Listed at USD 10 million, it stands as one of the most exclusive homes in Ras Al Khaimah.
Ras Al Khaimah’s most anticipated real estate launch of the season drew remarkable excitement, with guests filling the entrance of Atlantis The Royal in lively anticipation. A packed turnout gathered to witness the spectacular reveal, reflecting the overwhelming interest in Elevate’s newest landmark.
The star-studded launch, emceed by fashion icon Jessica Kahawaty, also drew notable regional personalities including Youmna Khoury and Zeynab, adding to the event’s fashion-forward energy. More than a project debut, the celebration framed Mondrian Al Marjan Island Beach Residences as the emirate’s new destination where design, lifestyle, and coastal glamour come together.
The immersive journey began as attendees passed through a kinetic tunnel of fabric, projection, and light, creating a surreal transition into Mondrian’s world of expressive luxury. The dramatic reveal of the architectural model unfolded beneath a choreographed lift of illuminated drapery, drawing applause as the full vision of the development was unveiled.
Throughout the event, custom-built design-led spaces immersed guests in Mondrian’s art-driven identity, from editorial portrait studios to a stage backdrop brought to life with kinetic projection mapping. Experiential activations spanned mixology, performance, and live artistry, including a neon-lit sculptural bar and a captivating live artwork creation by celebrated UAE artist Diaa Allam, who painted a piece inspired by Ras Al Khaimah’s cultural spirit. Setting the tempo for the night, DJ Tala Samman infused the space with her signature sounds, lifting the mood, energising the crowd, and giving the celebration its unmistakable pulse.
Louis Abboud, Regional Head of Lifestyle Collective IMEAT at Ennismore, added,
“Mondrian has always been about pushing boundaries and creating spaces that inspire. Launching this project on Al Marjan Island is a natural evolution of our brand’s creative ethos. This is not just a residence, it’s a living gallery, a social hub, and a sanctuary of style.”

PLANRADAR LAUNCHES “CONSTRUCTION SITE TEMPLATES PLAYBOOK” TO HELP GCC PROJECT TEAMS IMPROVE DAILY SITE EXECUTION CONTROL
PlanRadar, a digital platform for construction and real estate project management, has launched the Construction Site Templates Playbook, a new practical guide designed to help project teams strengthen day-to-day execution control through disciplined, repeatable site documentation.
As construction and real estate developments across the GCC increase in scale and complexity, site teams operate under continuous pressure: multiple trades working in parallel, frequent inspections, tight programmes, and strict compliance requirements. In this environment, performance issues often begin with simple breakdowns—unclear scope clarifications, delayed approvals, missed inspections, fragmented safety reporting, and incomplete records—then surface later during audits, handover, or dispute resolution when time and cost impacts are already locked in.
The Construction Site Templates Playbook addresses this challenge by positioning templates not as administrative paperwork, but as operational control points that help teams capture, verify, and act on information consistently across the project lifecycle. The playbook consolidates the most essential site templates into five execution pillars:
- Construction & Commercial Control (scope clarifications, inspections, approvals, change control)
- Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) (hazard identification, permits to work, incident reporting, compliance records)
- Quality & Inspections (structured verification, defects and non-conformance control, commissioning readiness)
- Progress & Coordination (daily reporting, look-ahead planning, constraint tracking, coordination actions)
- Materials & Logistics (material approvals, delivery inspections, traceable acceptance before installation)
The guide also introduces a practical “Execution Loop”, outlining the sequential stages of planning, executing, inspecting, correcting, and ultimately approving and closing. This approach demonstrates how the templates work together as a unified, disciplined system that enhances accountability, ensures traceability, and accelerates on-site decision-making.
“Successful delivery depends on more than planning—it depends on execution discipline,” said Ibrahim Imam, CEO and Co-Founder of PlanRadar “When clarifications, inspections, approvals, and corrective actions are captured consistently and tied to the right locations and evidence, site teams reduce ambiguity, protect quality, strengthen compliance, and improve handover readiness. This playbook is designed to make those controls practical and repeatable on every project.”
While the playbook can be applied in manual environments, it also highlights how structured digital workflows strengthen template usage by improving ownership, visibility, and audit readiness. By digitising templates, site records become time-stamped, traceable, and location-linked—reducing common challenges such as missing paperwork, delayed approvals, duplicated records, and unclear responsibility.
The Construction Site Templates Playbook is available in English and Arabic and is intended for developers, consultants, main contractors, subcontractors, and site teams involved in construction and real estate delivery across the GCC.
