Dubai luxury sales pick up as Bugatti Residences seals AED 270 million in penthouse deals
In short
In June 2026, Bugatti Residences by Binghatti in Business Bay closed two penthouse sales worth a combined AED 270 million (AED 200 million and AED 70 million) to international buyers. The deals follow a record AED 550 million sale in December 2025 and underline sustained demand for Dubai's ultra luxury segment.
Dubai's top end of the property market kept its momentum into summer. Bugatti Residences by Binghatti, in Business Bay, closed two penthouse sales in June 2026 worth AED 270 million combined: AED 200 million for one unit, AED 70 million for the second. Both buyers are international.
Bugatti Residences by Binghatti is the world's first residential project to carry the Bugatti name, a joint venture between Bugatti Rimac and Dubai developer Binghatti. The Business Bay tower comprises 171 Riviera Mansions and 11 Sky Mansion Penthouses, with interiors and services designed around the French carmaker's design language.
June's transactions are not an isolated event. The same project set an outright record for Dubai and the wider Middle East in December 2025, when a 47,200 square foot penthouse sold for AED 550 million, roughly AED 11,650 per square foot. In under seven months, Bugatti Residences has logged more than AED 820 million in ultra luxury transactions.
Why branded residences keep pulling in international capital
Branded residences, units co-developed with fashion, automotive or hospitality names, have become a structural feature of Dubai's property market rather than a niche. Figures cited by Khaleej Times put the premium these properties command over comparable unbranded luxury stock at more than 40%, driven by exclusive design, hotel grade service and the resale confidence a recognised name provides.

|---|---|
| Bvlgari (Jumeirah Bay Island) | 10,668 |
| Atlantis Resorts | 9,387 |
| Dorchester Collection | 7,539 |
| Baccarat | 7,211 |
| Four Seasons | 6,829 |
| Armani | 5,736 |
| Bugatti | 4,682 |
