Questions, answered
When does Villa del DIVOS hand over?
Q1 2027, which makes it the first Mr. Eight project in Dubai due for delivery. Nothing from this developer has been completed in Dubai yet, so this building is the one that will establish their track record.
How far along is construction?
Land Department derived reporting says the frame is complete and about 95 per cent of units are sold. Construction started in Q1 2025.
How many units are there?
The developer press release says 108 residences. Land Department derived data says about 96. We have not been able to reconcile the two and we will not pick one.
What is the most expensive unit?
A five bedroom sky mansion at around AED 28 million. There are four five bedroom units in the building.
What is the service charge?
AED 25 per square foot on the interior area and AED 6.25 on balconies, per the developer factsheet.
What branded residences means here, and what it does not
Mr. Eight markets this project as branded residences. In the wider market that phrase normally signals a licensing deal with a hotel operator or a fashion house, such as Armani, Bulgari or Marriott. There is no external brand partner on any Mr. Eight project. The brand is Mr. Eight itself. We checked the developer site, the national press coverage and the property portals and found no licensing agreement with any third party brand.
What does exist is a specified fit out. Mr. Eight publishes supplier names including Tom Dixon, Minotti, Cassina, B and B Italia, Lalique, LASVIT, FLOS, SMEG, Siemens and Grohe. That is a genuine specification and it is worth paying for if you value it. It is not the same thing as a branded residence in the licensing sense, and you should price it accordingly.
About the developer, stated plainly
Mr. Eight Development is a real and active Dubai developer, founded in 2021 and headquartered at Emaar Business Park, led by Emils Daujats. Its launches have been covered by Gulf News and Arabian Business, and Dubai Land Department transaction records show real registered off plan sales.
It has not yet completed a project in Dubai. Its first UAE launch was Villa del DIVOS in February 2025 and the earliest handover across the portfolio is Q1 2027, so nothing has been delivered yet. The company states 16 completed projects over 20 years in Latvia. We could not independently verify any of them, so treat that record as developer stated rather than confirmed.
None of that is a reason to avoid the developer. It is a reason to do what you should do with any first cycle developer in Dubai. Confirm the escrow account and the Dubai Land Department project number before you pay anything, and ask us for both in writing. Cresco Real Estate LLC, RERA ORN 34288.
