LIA by Avenew Development is a boutique residential landmark located in the prestigious Dubai Islands masterplan. Famous for its “sinuous” architectural form, the development draws inspiration from the rhythmic motion of ocean tides, showcasing cantilevered planes and flowing glass façades. The building stands at G+8 floors, providing a highly exclusive environment with only 82 total residences, ensuring privacy remains a core principle of the community.
The project is designed to provide a 360-degree sensory experience, capturing vistas of the Arabian Gulf, the Marina, and the Dubai skyline. Every particular residence is a study in “modern alive” spaces, utilizing floor-to-ceiling windows and neutral, organic materials to maximize natural light. Following its official start in late 2025, the project is moving through its early construction phases with an estimated completion date in Q1 2028.
