Founded in 2006 by Emad Jaber and Nabil Al Khaja, the firm has delivered over 700 landmark projects for 500+ clients across the region. This 19-year track record provided the solid foundation for launching its own development division.
What is the main advantage of Lacasa Living over traditional developers?
The key differentiator for Lacasa Living is its full-cycle model. While most developers rely on third-party architects and engineers, Lacasa Living utilizes its own in-house staff of 400 specialists.

What is the scale of the parent company’s architectural experience?
The Lacasa Architects portfolio includes over 700 projects, ranging from residential towers and shopping malls to hotels and ultra-luxury villas. Their footprint spans the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and even Australia. This massive engineering background allows Lacasa Living to deliver technically complex, architecturally superior boutique projects in prime resort locations.
How successful was Lacasa Living’s entry into the Ras Al Khaimah market?
The company’s debut project on Al Marjan Island—Ola Residences, valued at AED 200 million—demonstrated exceptional market demand. All 96 fully furnished residences were sold out shortly after the official launch, proving strong investor confidence in the brand.
What role does Lacasa play in the UAE's elite real estate segment?
The company’s expertise is fully proven within the ultra-luxury segment. For example, Lacasa’s architectural team was involved in designing the Trivora villa in Dubai Hills Estate. The residence was sold for AED 120 million, marking one of the largest private real estate transactions in the area and highlighting the developer’s ability to cater to the most discerning clients.
Who are Lacasa Living projects best suited for?
Lacasa Living projects are designed for those who value architectural aesthetics and superior construction quality. Thanks to the boutique format and fully furnished units (as seen in Ola Residences), these properties are ideal for both high-yield short-term vacation rentals and personal beachfront living.
