Availability warning. Property Finder currently shows the developer allocation on this project as sold out. The prices below are the published launch figures. They tell you what the project was released at, not necessarily what you can buy today. Ask us what is actually available before you rely on any number on this page. Of the Mr. Eight portfolio only Le Chateau Pietrus is still openly marketed as available.

Villa del BRUNELLO at a glance
| Property Name | Villa del BRUNELLO |
| Developer | Mr. Eight Development |
| Location | Dubai Islands, Deira. The developer factsheet describes it as a beachfront location. We could not independently confirm the beachfront position for this specific building, only that the Dubai Islands projects are described as first coastline, so treat beachfront as a developer claim until you have seen the plot |
| Property Type | Branded apartments |
| Unit Types | 1 bedroom 5 units, 2 bedroom 39, 3 bedroom 14, 4 bedroom 11. 69 units by the factsheet, although Land Department derived data says about 47 and a broker source says 49 |
| Sizes | The factsheet lists 641, 717, 1,016, 1,853, 2,487, 3,650, 4,076 and 4,616 sq ft but the table is scrambled in the source, so we will not map sizes to bedroom counts. Property Finder gives 2 bedroom from 1,082 sq ft, 3 bedroom from 1,867 sq ft and 4 bedroom from 2,485 sq ft. Ask us for the floor plan of the specific unit |
| Starting Price | 1 bedroom AED 2,692,000 to 3,102,000. 2 bedroom AED 4,312,000 to 7,000,000. 3 bedroom AED 7,648,000 to 19,979,000. 4 bedroom AED 10,689,000 to 25,997,000. Developer factsheet. Property Finder shows a two bedroom entry of AED 5,100,000 and records that as the launch price, which is about 18 per cent above the factsheet figure. Assume the higher number is current until the developer confirms otherwise |
| Payment Plan | 35/65. Booking AED 100,000, 20 per cent plus 4 per cent DLD and AED 5,000 admin, 5 per cent at 6 months, 5 per cent at 20 per cent build, 5 per cent at 75 per cent build, 65 per cent on handover. Property Finder shows a 24/11/65 split, so the plan is quoted inconsistently and should be confirmed in writing |
| Handover | Q4 2027. Confirmed by Property Finder and Land Department derived records |
| Service Charge | AED 25 per sq ft a year on the interior apartment area and AED 6.25 per sq ft on balconies. Developer factsheet |
| Status | Under development with construction from 2026. Property Finder lists it as off plan |
| Building | The factsheet says ground floor plus 2 parking floors plus 12 residential floors. Land Department derived data says 15 storeys. The two do not agree so we are not stating a figure |
| Ownership | Freehold. Dubai grants freehold title to all nationalities in designated areas, and this project sits in one |
Questions, answered
Is Villa del BRUNELLO really beachfront?
The developer factsheet says beachfront. We could not confirm that independently for this specific plot, only that the developer describes its Dubai Islands projects as first coastline. Ask to see the plot on the masterplan before you rely on it.
Why do the prices differ between sources?
The developer factsheet starts a two bedroom at AED 4,312,000 while Property Finder shows AED 5,100,000. Off plan pricing moves between releases. Ask us for the current price list rather than a brochure figure.
How many units are in the building?
The factsheet totals 69. Land Department derived data says about 47 and a broker source says 49. Three different numbers, so we are not publishing one as fact.
When does it hand over?
Q4 2027, agreed by Property Finder and the Land Department derived record.
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.
