DaVinci

DaVinci is a completed residential tower by Dar Global, positioned in Business Bay on the western edge of the Dubai Canal, delivering 26 fully furnished residences whose interiors were designed by Horacio Pagani, founder of the Italian hypercar manufacturer of the same name.

# The Tower and Its Position in Business Bay

Business Bay has matured considerably over the past decade. What was once a patchwork of construction sites and half-occupied offices has settled into one of Dubai's denser mixed-use districts, with canal-front addresses now commanding serious premiums. DaVinci occupies one of those addresses, sitting within walking distance of Downtown Dubai's main boulevard and close enough to the canal that southward and eastward views take in the waterway, the floating villas beyond, and the broader Business Bay skyline.

The building is a single tower. With only 26 residences across its floors, the scale is deliberately intimate, closer to a private members' building than a conventional high-rise. Dar Global, the London-listed developer behind the project, has built a portfolio of branded residence collaborations, and DaVinci follows that pattern: the architectural shell and the brand identity are inseparable.

Construction reached completion as of September 2025, with readiness at 100 per cent. Buyers are acquiring finished, ready-to-occupy homes.

# Residences, Layouts and Finish

The collection runs from one-bedroom to four-bedroom residences, with sizes spanning roughly 1,872 sq ft to just over 4,355 sq ft. That lower figure for a one-bedroom is significant: even the entry configuration is large by Dubai standards, and the two-bedroom apartments generally sit between 1,955 sq ft and 2,358 sq ft depending on the specific unit.

Pricing ranges from approximately AED 7.5 million to AED 25.5 million, with several of the larger four-bedroom units positioned above AED 16 million. Three-bedroom homes largely cluster between AED 14.2 million and AED 16.5 million, though one three-bedroom configuration reaches AED 25 million at 4,614 sq ft, suggesting a penthouse or duplex format.

# Materials and specification

The interior specification carries Pagani's signature obsession with material continuity. Marble covers the floors and skirting of living areas; black zebra marble appears on kitchen counters and in the guest bathrooms, with the patterning aligned across joins so the veining runs as a continuous composition rather than a tiled grid. Bedroom floors use semi-engineered wood. Wall surfaces alternate between ribbed oak charcoal-stained panelling and accent wallpaper, depending on the room.

Sanitary fittings come from Gessi, Newform or equivalent, with Kohler, Duravit and Geberit specified for sanitaryware. Kitchen appliances are Miele, Bosch Premium Line or equivalent, with a full complement including oven, hob, hood, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and beverage cooler. All residences include smart home controls covering lighting, curtains and door access. Every unit is delivered furnished.

Service charges run at AED 16 to 18 per sq ft annually, which reflects the breadth of staffed services on offer.

# Amenities and the Hotel-Style Service Model

The amenity list reads less like a residential building and more like a small private hotel. A chef concierge, nanny concierge, personal shopper, pet concierge, maid service and housekeeping are all listed as building services. A limousine service adds a transfer dimension. Four passenger lifts serve residents, with a dedicated service elevator and entrance keeping back-of-house operations separate.

The rooftop pool is divided into adult, children's and Jacuzzi sections, positioned to take advantage of upper-floor views. A landscaped plaza and 24-hour reception desk round out the offering. For buyers accustomed to managed properties or hotel-residence hybrids, the model is coherent: all services are available to residents without requiring third-party arrangements.

# Access to Downtown Dubai and the Wider City

Downtown Dubai sits 1.3 km from the building, a six-minute drive or a manageable walk along the canal path. Dubai Mall is at the same distance. The Burj Khalifa is 3.9 km away, roughly 11 minutes by car. Dubai Opera is nine minutes.

DXB Airport is 16.9 km out, approximately 19 minutes by road, making the address practical for frequent international travellers. North London Collegiate School Dubai is 10.3 km away, a 13-minute drive, relevant for families with school-age children. The Dubai Canal itself is effectively on the doorstep at 1 km, two minutes by car.

# Who This Building Suits, and Where It Sits in the Market

Twenty-six residences, branded interiors, a full concierge stack and a completed building: DaVinci is a specific proposition. It is not aimed at buyers who want scale, community facilities or a large development's anonymity. It suits buyers who prioritise discretion and a managed lifestyle, particularly those who split time between Dubai and other cities and need a home that functions as a serviced residence rather than a property requiring active management.

The Business Bay canal-front location places it near enough to Downtown Dubai to access its commercial and cultural infrastructure, while the canal address gives it a distinct character from the grid of glass towers inland. For GCC buyers seeking a Dubai pied-à-terre, or European and Asian buyers establishing a primary regional base, the combination of location, finished specification and staffed services makes the case on practical grounds before the Pagani name enters the conversation at all.
