Mira Developments has unveiled Richmond District, a new branded residential development in Al Furjan and the area’s first fully integrated masterplan, created in collaboration with John Richmond.
The project was officially unveiled on 2 April during a grand event attended by over 4,000 guests. The main celebration took place at Baoli Dubai, with a live broadcast that connected audiences across both venues. Notable attendees included Mena Marano, the CEO of John Richmond. The project brings together 5-residential towers, 1-office tower, and a shared podium designed around water, wellness and everyday convenience.
John Richmond’s distinctive visual language is brought to life in the built environment through crafted lines, rock-inspired attitude, and confident detailing. This brand-defining aesthetic extends beyond fashion into a fully realised residential concept, shaping studios and apartments, the statement said.
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 was developed by Marco Casamonti of Archea Associati in close collaboration with John Richmond, it added.
Timur Mamaikhanov, Co-Founder and CEO, Mira Developments said, “What makes Richmond District stand out is the way connectivity, architecture and brand identity come together in one place. Its location next to Discovery Gardens Metro Station gives residents direct access to the city, while the mashrabiya feature gives the project a visual character that feels entirely new for Al Furjan. Together with John Richmond’s aesthetic, it sets a new architectural tone for the area.”
Omar Gull, Managing Director of Mira Developments added, “We saw an overwhelming response to Richmond District. We expected around 2,000 guests but over 4,000 joined us. We had to host 2 separate presentations across different venues to accommodate everyone. At one point, it even caused traffic in the area. But more than anything, it reflects the resilience of Dubai’s real estate market and the clear demand for high-quality, branded developments.”
The development offers a range of amenities, including Technogym-equipped fitness areas for both men and women, outdoor sports area, dedicated yoga space. Ground level features integrated cafés and retail spaces. Additional services such as valet parking, concierge support, cleaning, and room service further contribute to its welcoming atmosphere.
