The US $100mn project is located at Jumeirah Village Circle and aims to bring Italian design to Dubai’s real estate landscape
Vantage Properties has announced the opening of LIVEL Residenza, which is said to be the first residential tower in the UAE developed in partnership with Italian developer Vittoria Group Costruzioni. The US $100mn project is located in Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) and aims to bring Italian design to Dubai’s real estate landscape.
Designed by Gandolfi e Mura Architetti Associati from Italy, LIVEL Residenza is set to be an example of Italian craftsmanship. Founded in 1984 by architects Giuseppe Gandolfi and Ombretta Mura, the architecture firm brings decades of experience in urban planning, residential buildings, and interior design to the project.
“Our vision was to create a living space that echoes the beauty of Italy while embracing the spirit of Dubai. Every element, from the wood panels to the Italian gardens, is designed to transport residents to the serene landscapes of Tuscany and the vibrant coasts of Sicily,” said Michele Gandolfi, Associate Architect at Gandolfi e Mura Architetti Associati.
LIVEL Residenza features an Italian Garden with an open-air cinema and a park for pets, with the goal of bringing a touch of Tuscany to residents. The project’s pool area is said to be inspired by Capri, and has arches like those in Sicily, creating a Mediterranean feel, the statement said.
Apartments are said to be be 20% bigger than average in JVC, with walk-in wardrobes – even in studios – and balconies perfect for relaxing. Homes have floor-to-ceiling windows, natural light, and minimalist designs using materials like Botticino marble and fluted elm wood. The project also has gym and yoga rooms with wood finishes, a sauna inspired by Italy’s mountains, a steam room, and a rooftop padel tennis court.
Kabir Joshi, CEO of Vantage Properties, “LIVEL Residenza is deeply personal, my journey has been anything but easy starting from selling perfumes in Chicago parking lots to navigating the aftermath of a serious motorcycle accident and the financial challenges of the 2008-2009 crisis. I am driven by a mission to create luxurious yet functional homes, embodying a story of resilience and determination. LIVEL Residenza is more than a building; it’s a reflection of my journey and belief that second chances can lead to great things. We wanted to create homes that offer peace, elegance, and a sense of belonging, blending Italian design with Dubai’s modern lifestyle.”
“Sustainability was not an afterthought but a fundamental aspect of our design philosophy. We wanted to ensure that LIVEL Residenza contributes positively to the environment while providing a healthier living space for our residents,” Joshi concluded. |
