Lacasa, a multidisciplinary architectural and engineering firm renowned in the region for its decade-long design expertise, has announced its strategic entry into real estate development through the launch of its new division, Lacasa Living. This marks a transformative step for the company, which has been instrumental in delivering landmark projects across residential, hospitality, and mixed-use developments, as well as top-of-the-range interior designs services. The new venture aims to bring bespoke developments that emphasize intelligent design and meticulous craftsmanship.
Lacasa Living’s boutique developments will focus on key markets in the UAE with upcoming projects in Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) & Lusail in Qatar. Designed with the end user in mind, Lacasa Living will deliver a portfolio that ranges from architectural marvels of ultra-luxury, private villas from their Signature Collection to smart and modern bespoke residential apartments and holiday homes. Recently, Lacasa reestablished its capabilities with the handover of an AED 120 million worth private villa in Dubai Hills.

Every detail, from furnishings to home accessories is keenly focused on creating thoughtful spaces and vibrant communities that reflect both character and refined design.
“Our entry into real estate development is a natural evolution of our journey in the architectural and design industry. For years, we’ve collaborated with some of the region’s most prestigious developers, delivering iconic projects that bring a sense of purpose, creativity, and thoughtfulness that will continue to be at the heart of every project we build. Our extensive experience across multiple sectors has given us deep insights into what makes a development truly exceptional and a house a home. With Lacasa Living, our aim is to leverage this expertise to create signature properties that seamlessly blend intelligent design and well-thought out functionality that is not easily replicated. We are proud to evolve our legacy to bring trend-setting developments that stand out with our signature designs, in some of the most coveted areas of the UAE,” said Emad Jaber, Chairman, Lacasa Living.
