“I believe it’s a unique and fulfilling location to own your dream W branded home and our proposition catering to the needs of discerning clientele. Our experience in delivering high-end co-branded homes with global brands like Elie Saab, Versace, Roberto Cavalli, Pagani and Missoni puts us in a unique position to always bring the best, most desirable residential spaces to our customers,” he added.
