New Armani Residences to be Built in Egypt
AUGUST 28, 2008. Emaar Properties and Armani are to jointly develop a beachside Armani Residences in Marassi, Emaar's flagship resort development in Egypt.
Personally designed by the fashion icon himself Giorgio Armani, this will be the first villa offering under the Armani Residences collaboration.
The US$1.74bn project will feature a combination of stacked villas and three and four-bedroom villas, all facing the Mediterranean Sea.
Marassi is an all-year round destination and enjoys one of the best stretches of beach on the North Coast. The 6.25 million sqm gated community has premier leisure amenities including a world-class beach resort, a vibrant town centre, marina, golf course and hotels set amidst lush greenery and lagoons.
Giorgio Armani said, "While designing the Armani Residences, Marassi I integrated several elements that capture the serenity and calm of beachfront living. I was also keen to present residents with personalised living spaces that conveyed the comfort, simplicity and understated elegance - cornerstones of the Armani Residences offering."
The villa sizes range from 250 to 500 sqm with each unit featuring a private pool. Common area amenities include retail outlets, boardwalk lounge, health club, reflective pool, resort club, screening room, swimming pools and pool deck. There will be designated reception and drop-off points for the convenience of residents and guests.
The furnishing and bespoke finishes of all homes are master-designed by Mr Armani himself. An exclusive range of Armani/Casa home furnishings - a variant of which is used at Armani Residences, Burj Dubai - will give elegant sophistication to the residences.
