Situated in the desirable Jumeirah area on the south side of the Dubai Water Canal, The Cliffs is expected to leave an enduring mark on Dubai’s skyline
AGI Palace Group, the joint venture formed by Abu Ghazaleh Investments (AGI), the Dubai-based family-owned investment company, and ultra-prime developer Palace Group, have named New York-based architects Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) to lead the design of its inaugural joint venture project along the Dubai Water Canal – The Cliffs.
Globally recognised for design excellence, KPF is responsible for several landmark projects in major cities including Atlantis The Royal, Dubai, Zayed International Airport, Terminal A, Abu Dhabi; Rosewood Hong Kong, and One Vanderbilt, New York City.
The appointment of world-leading architects reflects the ambitions of AGI Palace Group to deliver an iconic residential address that will bring a new, sophisticated approach to this segment of the Dubai market, the company said.
Situated in the desirable Jumeirah area, on the south side of the Dubai Water Canal, The Cliffs is expected to leave an enduring mark on Dubai’s skyline.
Occupying a prominent plot area of 185,339 sq. ft. the development will house a collection of high-specification, ultra-luxury residences, with an estimated economic value of $1.1 billion.
At its base, a state-of-the-art wellness club will be paired with 250,000 sq. ft. of beautifully curated landscaped gardens to deliver an unparalleled standard of living.
Amir Abu Ghazaleh, Chairman and Founder of AGI, said together with Palace Group, the company is set out to make a transformative investment in the region and elevate the Dubai Water Canal to new heights of luxury.
“We look forward to our continued, trusted collaboration with KPF to bring our vision to fruition,” he said.
Wissam Damaa, Founder and CEO of Palace Group, said the group remained committed to setting new benchmarks for luxury residences in Dubai.
“This inaugural project – The Cliffs – will stand out in the Dubai Canal landscape,” Damaa said.
Hana Kassem, Principal at KPF said the firm’s design for this development was born from its context, its sculptural form and cliff-like terraced silhouette, derived from the unique rock formations found throughout the Emirates, and shaped to maximize views of the park, waterfront, and dramatic Dubai skyline beyond.
“Our mission was to create an urban oasis, a bespoke living experience steeped in wellness and leisure, a sought-after destination of timeless architecture that would be a landmark for the city,” she added.
Inspired by rock formations in the Arabian desert, the architecture takes the shape of two mountain peaks with a lush valley between them, blending harmony with subtle contrast.
The cliff-like façade features strong horizontal lines mixed with softer, fluid forms, while warm, earthy tones reminiscent of local geology are highlighted by bright mineral hues.
The development expertly blends wellness and luxury living with a design that seamlessly integrates nature and water throughout.
