The AGI and Palace Group partnership has appointed Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) as the lead architect for The Cliffs project on the Dubai Water Canal.
Situated in the Jumeirah area on the south side of the Dubai Water Canal, The Cliffs will occupy a prominent plot area of 185,339 sq ft. It will include a collection of high-specification, ultra-luxury residences with an estimated economic value of $1.1bn.
At its base, a wellness club will be paired with 250,000 sq ft of curated landscaped gardens to deliver an unparalleled standard of living.
“We remain committed to setting new benchmarks for luxury residences in Dubai. Through our strategic appointments, the AGI Palace Group partnership is poised to deliver architectural and design excellence. This inaugural project, “The Cliffs”, will stand out in the Dubai Canal landscape.”
Wissam Damaa, Founder and CEO, Palace Group
Every unit at The Cliffs community faces the Dubai Water Canal and Safa Park, offering panoramic views that enhance the connection to the surrounding environment. Floor-to-ceiling windows and private terraces extend living spaces outdoors.
Amenities include leisure and fitness facilities, an in-house cinema, a kids club, tennis courts, indoor padel courts, terraced private decks and pool clubs in both towers.
“Together with our partners at Palace Group, we set out to make a transformative investment in the region and elevate the Dubai Water Canal to new heights of luxury. We look forward to our continued, trusted collaboration with KPF to bring our vision to fruition.”
Amir Abu Ghazaleh, Chairman and Founder, AGI
Inspired by rock formations in the Arabian desert, the architecture of The Cliffs takes the shape of two mountain peaks with a lush valley between them, blending harmony with subtle contrast.
“Our design for this development was born from its context, its sculptural form and cliff-like terraced silhouette derived from the unique rock formations found throughout the Emirates and shaped to maximise views of the park, waterfront, and dramatic Dubai skyline beyond.” She added: “Our mission was to create an urban oasis, a bespoke living experience steeped in wellness and leisure, a sought-after destination comprised of timeless architecture that would be a landmark for the city. We are thrilled to see this project progressing and congratulate our client AGI Palace Group and collaborators on this achievement.”
