| Christian Lacroix announces JV with Kuwaiti-based Abyaar  Boutique Middle East property developer, Abyaar and designer Christian Lacroix announced a joint venture, which will establish a residential tower in one of Dubai's most exclusive beachside suburbs. With views across Dubai's coastline, The Palm and Burj al Arab landmarks, the 38-unit, Jumeirah-based tower will incorporate a Lacroix-designed façade, expansive lobby and luxury interiors. Although Lacroix has worked on several Paris-based boutique hotel interiors, this is the first residential offering to which the designer's trademark blend of past and future will make its mark. Among his non-catwalk pursuits, Lacroix has designed several hotels, interiors for the French chain of Gaumont cinemas; TGV trains to Strasbourg; tramway cars in Montpellier and the costumes for The Marriage of Figaro at the Aix-en-Provence festival, amongst other high profile productions. Abyaar's development portfolio features an impressive collection of exclusive, freehold initiatives in Dubai and is spreading across the GCC and beyond, catering to a niche market. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
