Super prime property developer 25 Degrees partners with award-winning architect Killa Design to design two luxury villas on Palm Jumeirah
 

Dubai-based super prime property developer 25 Degrees has partnered with world-renowned architecture firm Killa Design to create two custom-built ultra-luxury Signature Villas on Palm Jumeirah, redefining the pinnacle of sophisticated waterfront living. 

 

The two new beachfront villas will be located close to the tip of one of the Palm’s fronds, and will be custom-built from the ground up on a previously empty plot – setting them apart from the renovated, pre-existing villas that dominate Palm Jumeirah’s offering. 

 

Co-founded in 2023 by international investor and entrepreneur Dr. David von Rosen, who invested $80mn+ in the brand upon launch, 25 Degrees is seeking to become the leading and most trusted brand in Dubai for super prime villas. 

 

Killa Design is the architectural firm behind some of the Middle East’s most iconic buildings, including Dubai’s Museum of the Future, the Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab Hotel, Saudi Arabia’s Opera House, and Bahrain’s World Trade Center. Co-founded by Shaun Killa in 2015, Killa Design has won a series of high-profile industry awards, including Architecture Firm of the Year and the Architecture Master Prize.  

 

25 Degrees’ partnership with Killa Design comes just a year after the property developer first launched on Palm Jumeirah, highlighting its ambition to become the leading villa brand in the city.  

 

The partnership also comes hot on the heels of their first property sale earlier this year, which broke a record for the largest-ever sale of a Garden Villa property on the Palm at $16.9 million / AED 62 million (Construction Week). Now, they’re looking to break the record for the sale of a Signature Villa property on the Palm through their partnership with Killa Design. 

 

25 Degrees is known for developing super prime properties on Palm Jumeirah to the highest standards of European style and specifications. The brand is catering for the influx of ultra-high-net-worth individuals to the city. 

 

These ultra-luxury villas are designed to offer uninterrupted panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf and marina. Each villa embodies a distinct identity, one showcasing an interplay of floating planes, textures, and deep layering, while the other displays elegance, with smooth, curvilinear forms flowing into the horizon. 

 

Both designs celebrate a balance between indoor and outdoor living, featuring double-height lounges, sculptural staircases, and floor-to-ceiling glazing. 

 

These residences have been curated to offer a sensory retreat with infinity pools stretching toward the sea. Sunken seating with reflection pools provides an escape, while cascading water features and sinuous landscaping enhance the villa’s serene ambiance. 

 

The villas feature both formal and informal living areas. The master suites offer ocean vistas and open into his-and-her spa-inspired bathrooms. The walk-in wardrobes are generously proportioned, blending bespoke craftsmanship with functionality. 

 

Each villa houses a state-of-the-art home cinema, a fully equipped private gym, a serene spa, and an exclusive car gallery. The rooftop features a private plunge pool, an open-air cinema, and an alfresco gourmet BBQ lounge, all framed by panoramic views of the sea and skyline. 

 

With direct access to the shores of Palm Jumeirah, these villas encapsulate the height of exclusivity and architectural excellence. Setting a new benchmark in ultra-luxury living, 25 Degrees and Killa Design continue to push the boundaries of design, craftsmanship, and sophistication in Dubai’s most coveted address. 

 

The development process of 25 Degrees’ two newest villas is now underway. 

 

David von Rosen, co-founder of 25 Degrees, said: “At 25 Degrees, we want to push the boundaries of luxury living and craftsmanship, and with Killa Design’s expertise and track record of innovation on board, our next two villas will do just that. 

 

“As the world’s elite flock to Dubai, they’re looking for properties that match the highest standards of comfort, luxury, and beauty they find across the traditional wealth centers like London, New York, and LA. It’s our mission to offer this and more, and become the most trusted brand in Dubai for state-of-the-art, super prime villa homes.”
