UAE-based Mira Developments has unveiled Richmond District, a new branded residential project in Dubai’s Al Furjan neighbourhood and the area’s first fully integrated masterplan, created in collaboration with John Richmond, a luxury brand. 

Located next to Discovery Gardens Metro Station, Richmond District brings together five residential towers, one office tower, and a shared podium designed around water, wellness and everyday convenience.

The development brings John Richmond’s visual language into the built environment through tailored lines, rock-inspired attitude and confident detailing. 

Studios and apartments are shaped by the brand’s unmistakable aesthetic, extending it beyond fashion into a fully realised residential concept. A key element of the architecture is its adaptive mashrabiya system of windows and shutters – a contemporary interpretation of a traditional feature that allows residents to control light, privacy and airflow while improving comfort and reducing heat.

The architectural design for the project was developed by Marco Casamonti of Archea Associati in close collaboration with John Richmond. As Richmond recalls: “From the moment we met, there was an immediate connection. Marco understands my work and translated my style through his own design.”

The amenity offering includes Technogym-equipped fitness areas for ladies and gents, an outdoor sports area and a yoga space. At ground level, cafés and retail are integrated into the development, while services such as valet parking, concierge support, cleaning and room service extend its hospitality-led character.

Al Furjan offers a more established residential setting than many newer parts of Dubai, with schools, parks and everyday infrastructure already in place. At the same time, it remains highly connected.
