A new development launched by Damac Properties in Dubai has been designed to replicate a masterpiece necklace. The developer has teamed up with the Swiss jeweller de Grisogono for the twin tower Safa One scheme, situated on the edge of Safa Park. "The architectural design of the building replicates a masterpiece necklace created by Fawaz Gruosi, the founder of de Grisogono," Damac said on Wednesday. "Unique to the design and the tower-duo is the deep, royal shade of emerald green, which will be a signature identity of this ultra-luxury residential complex." Damac said the theme of the project is "The Nature of Luxury", with lush garden terraces and hanging gardens, an artificial beach and swimming pool. The higher Tower A will have an urban tropical island "with cascading waterfalls, plentiful plants, as well as the sounds and sights of exotic birds". One, two and three-bedroom apartments will be available on the luxury levels, while super luxury levels will feature two, three, four and five-bedroom apartments. Prices start at Dh1.6 million ($453,610). A jewellery-themed property development has been done in Dubai before, with the Swarovski-inspired Sparkle Towers at Dubai Marina.

Maple Invest, a vehicle fully owned by Damac’s founder Hussain Sajwani, submitted an offer last year to acquire the developer. The developer has struggled to remain profitable in recent years. It narrowed its net loss for the 2021 financial year to Dh531m from Dh646m recorded a year earlier, it said last month. Total revenue for the reporting period fell 37 per cent annually to Dh3 billion at the end of 2021, Damac said in a <a href="https://feeds.dfm.ae/documents/2022/Feb/14/55d17145-c01b-485e-aa78-6d90de3d738f/DAMAC_PR_FS_ANN_2021_14_02_2022.pdf">regulatory</a> filing.
