Emirates Palace, Mandarin Oriental Mansions, Abu Dhabi

Emirates Palace, Mandarin Oriental Mansions, Abu Dhabi, a limited collection of thirty-five uniquely designed private residences located within the grounds of Emirates Palace. The development marks the first-time private ownership has been introduced within one of the UAE’s most historically and institutionally significant destinations. Completion is anticipated in 2029.

Positioned along one of Abu Dhabi’s most important natural shorelines, the residences sit within the axis connecting Qasr Al Watan, the Founder’s Memorial, and the timeless Corniche, a part of the capital where civic identity, coastline, and public life converge. Few residential settings in the region carry comparable cultural and national significance.

The architectural language draws from Abu Dhabi’s coastal vernacular through a contemporary expression shaped by proportion, light, landscape, and privacy. The residences are organized around gardens and courtyards, oriented toward the shoreline and surrounding landscape. Privacy is approached not as an amenity, but as an architectural condition embedded within the planning of the homes themselves.
