Presence Outside Ras Al Khaimah & UAE

While La Mer by Elie Saab is currently ARTE Developments’ only widely advertised project in Ras Al Khaimah, the developer also maintains a presence in Dubai with planned or conceptual projects in prime urban locations, including:

• Arte Downtown, a luxury apartment complex in central Dubai

• Villa dell’Arte on Dubai Islands offering apartments and duplex residences
  (Project information noted in market listing summaries for ARTE’s activities in Dubai)

These indications suggest ARTE is broadening its portfolio beyond a single project type and emirate, targeting both coastal and urban luxury markets.

Outside the UAE

As of now, ARTE Developments does not have confirmed physical developments outside the UAE publicised in official sources. The company’s portfolio and active launches remain focused on the UAE market — primarily Ras Al Khaimah and Dubai.

However:
✔ Brand Positioning: The Elie Saab collaboration adds international lifestyle appeal and helps attract global buyers from Europe, Asia, and MENA, effectively extending ARTE’s reach through international investor demand.
✔ Dubai Portfolio Plans: Reports list additional conceptual or planning activity in Dubai’s premium districts (Business Bay, Palm Jumeirah, etc.), which reflects ARTE’s ambitions to grow its footprint within the UAE’s top investment corridors.

At present, the company’s physical project portfolio is UAE-centric, but its brand ambitions and design collaborations position it as a regional luxury developer with global appeal through design and investor channels.
