Villa Del Brunello

15 storeys and 47 residences on Island A of the Dubai Islands archipelago. Developer Mr. Eight, Italian stone finishes, Smeg appliances, handover in Q4 2027.

What kind of building this is

Villa del Brunello is a residential building on Dubai Islands. The building record lists 15 storeys and 47 residences, developer Mr. Eight Development, and engineering consultant Model Engineering Consultants; confirmed amenities are a pool, parking and security.

Forty-seven apartments across fifteen storeys is a boutique format — roughly three residences per floor. The building is marketed with a private beach club, which on an island development is the main selling point: access to the water is what really separates one project from another here.

The finishes are specified down to named brands: Italian stone, built-in Smeg appliances, Tom Dixon bathroom fittings, and Dolce & Gabbana-branded design. That level of detail is a strong point of the offer — and exactly the kind of thing that needs checking against the contract.

Prices and payment schedule

Launch prices: two-bedroom units from 100 m² starting at AED 5.2 million (about $1.43 million), three-bedroom units from 172 m² starting at AED 8.08 million ($2.2 million), and four-bedroom units from 235 m² starting at AED 9.7 million ($2.64 million).

That works out to roughly AED 47,000–52,000 per square metre — a level toward the top of the Dubai Islands range, explained by the small number of units and the finish specification.

The payment plan is light: 20% down payment, 15% during construction and 65% on handover. Just over a third of the price is paid before the keys — a structure where the buyer's main risk lies in the construction itself, not the payment schedule. Handover is stated for Q4 2027.

What to weigh about this address

Dubai Islands is a district still taking shape. Transport links, retail infrastructure and beach services are being built alongside the housing, and the first years of ownership play out in an environment different from the one shown on the masterplan.

For a buyer that means two different scenarios. For your own use, check what will actually be up and running nearby by the time you move in. For rental, understand that rental demand on the islands is still forming, and the rate in the early years is usually lower than projected.

Separately, the developer. Mr. Eight is not one of the market's larger players, and with 65% due at handover, the developer's financial stability becomes a central question. Check the project's escrow account and the company's track record of completed projects.
