Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Mr. Eight Development, a leading European property developer with over two decades of expertise, has announced the launch of its second residential project in the UAE – Villa del GAVI, located on Dubai Islands. Building on the success of its debut project, Villa del DIVOS, which has seen remarkable demand with almost 80% of its units already sold out, Villa del GAVI continues the brand's mission to redefine beachfront living through timeless design and curated luxury.
To celebrate the launch, Mr. Eight Development will host a private unveiling event at the Atlantis The Royal on May 03, 2025. The exclusive gathering will welcome Hollywood celebrities, industry visionaries, investors and VIP guests, offering a first look at one of Dubai Islands' most anticipated developments.
Perfectly positioned on the Island's first coastline and just steps from pristine waters, Villa del GAVI offers 87 bespoke residences, ranging from spacious two- to four-bedroom apartments, including 3-bedroom + maid configurations. Every home of the 12-floor residential tower is designed to capture the tranquility of the Arabian Gulf through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, open-concept living areas and private balconies with breathtaking water views.
Villa del GAVI showcases exceptional interior craftsmanship and design collaborations. Residences are outfitted with Italian Silver Travertine Stone Romano, Calacatta Viola marble, Fabel Casa kitchens and wardrobes from Italy, high-end SMEG appliances and bespoke bathroom fixtures by acclaimed British designer Tom Dixon.
'Following the overwhelming success of Villa del DIVOS, we are delighted to introduce Villa del GAVI to the Dubai Islands,' said Emils Daujats, Director at Mr. Eight Development. 'This new project is the natural next step in our commitment to crafting exceptional living spaces in Dubai's most sought-after locations. Villa del GAVI offers a unique opportunity to experience luxurious beachfront living with unparalleled amenities and we have already had considerable interest in the project with 38% of our units already reserved prior to the official launch. Notably, Villa del GAVI will stand out by offering exclusively two-bedroom residences and above. There will be no one-bedroom units in this development, as we are focused on creating more spacious, livable homes.'
Villa del GAVI is crafted to provide not only a luxurious home, but an immersive lifestyle. Residents will enjoy two infinity-edge swimming pools, a state-of-the-art Technogym fitness center, a private residents' clubhouse and an artfully curated lobby showcasing furniture by Cassina, Minotti and lighting by Tom Dixon, FLOS and ZONDA.

Alcaraz bludgeons Paul to reach French Open semis
Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz steamrolled past American 12th-seed Tommy Paul 6-0 6-1 6-4 at the French Open on Tuesday with a jaw-dropping display of attacking tennis in one of the most one-sided men's quarter-finals in Paris in recent memory. Four-time champion Iga Swiatek, who is looking to become the first woman in the professional era to win four consecutive titles in Paris, also punched her semi-final ticket with a straight sets win over Elina Svitolina of Ukraine to set up a mouth-watering semi-final with world number one Aryna Sabalenka. But it was four-time Grand Slam champion Alcaraz's merciless dismantling of Paul that grabbed the fans' attention, with the 22-year-old Spaniard terrorising the former French Open junior champion who looked like a fish out of water. Alcaraz charged through the first two sets in just 53 minutes and in near flawless fashion, hitting winners at will and chasing down every ball before the shell-shocked American had any time to react. Paul pulled himself together to hold serve and go 4-3 up in the third but as the sun gradually went down over Paris so did the curtain on his inspired run, with Alcaraz winning three games in a row to put him out of his misery in just 94 minutes. "I could close my eyes and everything went in," Alcaraz said. "My feeling was unbelievable. I tried to hit the shots 100% and not think about it." "Today it was one of those matches where everything went in," he said. He will next take on in-form Italian Lorenzo Musetti who battled past American Frances Tiafoe in four sets after surviving a second-set wobble, to reach the French Open semi-finals for the first time. Musetti Warning Musetti, the world number seven, who escaped with a warning for unsportsmanlike conduct when he kicked a ball at a line judge, eventually overran 15th seed Tiafoe. "Honestly it was really unlucky coincidence," said Musetti of the incident. "I was a little bit scared, because I really didn't want to harm nobody, of course. So I immediately went to the line umpire, and I of course said, 'sorry', I apologise to everyone." "It was right to have a warning, but I think the umpire saw that there was no intention about that and that's why probably just, you know, let me continue my game." That occurred in the second set when Musetti, the only man to reach at least the semi-finals of every main claycourt event this season, was given balls to serve. He kicked one to inadvertently hit the line judge, who barely flinched even though she was hit on her upper body. Grand Slam rules state that players are issued a warning at first instance for any ball abuse. Tiafoe, however, called it 'comical' that there was no serious punishment. "I mean, obviously he did that and nothing happened," said Tiafoe, who had looked surprised and pointed out the incident to the chair umpire. "I think that's comical, but it is what it is. Nothing happened, so there's nothing really to talk about. Obviously it's not consistent, so it is what it is." Earlier, and in front of a sparse crowd around lunchtime, Swiatek braved the windy conditions to beat Svitolina 6-1 7-5. Although Swiatek failed to win a title going into the tournament this season, she looks to have rediscovered her remarkable claycourt form in Paris, stretching her winning run at the French Open to 26 consecutive matches following her title three-peat between 2022-24 to add to her 2020 crown. Three-time Grand Slam champion Sabalenka, hunting her first French Open crown, also needed just two sets to overcome Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen and snap her opponent's 10-match winning streak at Roland Garros with a 7-6(3) 6-3 victory. "I think we're all here for one reason," Sabalenka said. "Everyone wants that beautiful trophy. I'm glad I have another opportunity, another semi-final to do better than last time."

Oscar winner Adrien Brody graces Mr. Eight's Dubai Islands launch
Hollywood icon joins an exclusive guest list at the unveiling of Villa del GAVI, adding star power to the luxury waterfront development's debut Mr. Eight Development, a leading European real estate developer with over 20 years of experience, has reached a major milestone. Within just weeks of its launch, the company has sold over 60% of the units at its latest Dubai Islands project, Villa del GAVI - surpassing initial expectations by a wide margin. Meanwhile, the developer's debut project, Villa del DIVOS, is nearing full occupancy, with only a handful of units remaining. The stunning waterfront development was officially unveiled during an exclusive launch event at Atlantis The Royal, drawing an elite audience of celebrities, influencers, investors, and industry leaders. Among the distinguished guests was Academy Award-winning actor Adrien Brody, who took part in the ribbon-cutting ceremony. His presence added global prestige and an artistic flair to the occasion. Brody's recent lead role in The Brutalist - in which he plays an architect envisioning a bold new future - struck a powerful chord with the architectural philosophy behind Villa del GAVI. The parallels between the film's cinematic narrative and the real-world design of the project highlighted the development's commitment to timeless, expressive, and purpose-driven architecture. The project's strong sales performance is largely fueled by European buyers, who make up approximately 90% of purchasers to date. Most investors hail from Germany, Spain, France, Belgium, and the UK, with growing interest now emerging from Japan and China. "We believe that true luxury begins with space, design, and experience," said Emils Daujats, director at Mr. Eight Development. "That's why we made a deliberate decision to exclude one-bedroom units from Villa del GAVI. This curated approach has clearly resonated with buyers, and the sales performance so far proves that the market is ready for a more thoughtful interpretation of premium living." "Our buyers prioritize quality, service, and above all, uninterrupted sea views," he added. "When a home offers a direct view of the water, price becomes a secondary factor. These residences are limited in number, and demand is extremely high." At Villa del GAVI, a limited selection of two- and three-bedroom units - including premium corner residences with sweeping sea views - remains available. The four-bedroom layouts are nearly sold out. Prices start at Dh3.6 million, with a flexible 35/65 payment plan. Handover is scheduled for Q4 2027. Villa del GAVI marks Mr. Eight Development's second project on Dubai Islands and continues the brand's commitment to boutique-inspired residences crafted with the finest finishes. Each home in the 12-story tower offers panoramic views of the Gulf and features high-end interiors, including Italian travertine stone, Fabel Casa kitchens, SMEG appliances, and Tom Dixon fixtures. Residents will also enjoy an array of thoughtfully curated amenities, such as two infinity pools, a Technogym fitness center, and exclusive access to the Mr. Eight Priority Club. The Mr. Eight Priority Club unites all of the brand's developments on Dubai Islands into one exclusive community. Members benefit from access to a unique suite of luxury experiences, including chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce vehicles, a private Riva motorboat with a captain, golf carts, and à la carte services such as in-residence spa treatments, personal training, childcare, and 24/7 maintenance - making it the only lifestyle offering of its kind on the island. Mr. Eight Development is now entering its strongest growth phase, with several new launches planned on Dubai Islands and across other key locations in Dubai. These upcoming projects reflect the brand's bold vision and growing momentum. A series of high-impact events is also on the horizon, each designed to immerse visitors in the elevated lifestyle that defines every Mr. Eight development.
