“Today’s signing marks the beginning of a powerful collaboration rooted in excellence, heritage, and innovation. We are very excited to partner with Arthouse Hotel, NYC, to bring a legacy of refined and artistic living into the heart of the UAE’s most dynamic communities – Al Marjan Island. With Arthouse, we’re introducing a new style of luxury, one that brings a creative, cultural dimension to Ras Al Khaimah.

“Al Marjan Island is already a powerhouse for leisure and entertainment, drawing visitors and investors from all over the world. Through this partnership with Arthouse, we hope to add a new layer to the island’s story, a place where art and culture live side by side with lifestyle and hospitality. We are truly grateful to Arthouse NYC, and Marjan leadership and our strategic partner Prospect for believing in our vision. Together our partnership will continue to add to the UAE’s every-growing and vibrant real estate landscape,” said Omar Gull, Founder & Chairman of Clédor.

The collaboration brings together Clédor’s robust development expertise with the refined hospitality legacy of Arthouse NYC to introduce a new standard of living through branded residences on Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah and Meydan, Dubai. The residences will reflect the same elevated design, service, and lifestyle experience that have defined Arthouse’s presence on New York’s Upper West Side for over 100 years.

“I am excited to announce this new chapter for Arthouse and we are honoured to partner with Clédor, who have a deep understanding of the UAE market and clientele. We trust in their experience to build something special and lasting. This is the first time Arthouse is stepping outside the United States of America and together we hope to build a timeless legacy. We chose the UAE, and especially Al Marjan Island, because of the robust growth of real estate, vision of the leadership, and ambition and forward-thinking outlook of the region. This is the beginning of more projects to come to this region from the Arthouse brand portfolio. We would like to express our gratitude to all our stakeholders for the trust and partnership, said Karim El Aqabi, spokesperson of Arthouse.

“The exquisite mix of fascinating nature and well-preserved history of Ras Al Khaimah has been attracting luxurious facilities and projects to the emirate, elevating our iconic island to one of the UAE’s top destinations for tourism and growth, attracting the best of investments. It is with great pleasure that we welcome Arthouse Residences to Al Marjan Island. Their presence reflects our continued commitment to developing a world-class destination defined by architectural excellence, cultural enrichment, and exceptional quality of life. We look forward to the unique character and prestige Arthouse Residences will bring to our evolving landscape and growing community,” said Arch. Abdulla Al Abdouli, CEO, Marjan.
