FashionTV Acacia by BNW Developments unveiled at an exclusive industry showcase in Dubai
In a glittering evening curated with precision and flair, FashionTV Acacia by BNW Developments has made its official debut before an elite audience of investors, global partners, dignitaries, and industry decision-makers. Hosted by the iconic Ania J, globally known as the "Voice of FashionTV," the evening was a celebration of vision, innovation, and the evolution of branded real estate.
A culmination of BNW's design-first ethos and FashionTV's global lifestyle influence, FashionTV Acacia is a high-concept residential project rising on the shores of Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, a destination fast emerging as the UAE's most promising frontier for tourism, foreign investment, and luxury development. With its striking architecture, panoramic sea views, and immersive design language, the project embodies a bold rethinking urban living where fashion, functionality, and future-readiness converge.
Designed with meticulous detail, FashionTV Acacia by BNW Developments offers a mix of one to four-bedroom residences and penthouses, blending structured elegance with immersive amenities like private lounges, wellness sanctuaries, landscaped social pods, and sea-facing infinity decks. The interiors and communal spaces echo the polished energy of FashionTV, where every material, palette, and proportion reflect a life lived in high style.
Ankur Aggarwal, chairman and founder of BNW Developments, shared his perspective on the collaboration: "In an age where consumers are no longer just investing in space but in identity and experiential value, FashionTV Acacia presents a distinctive proposition. This is a carefully designed confluence of global culture, regional ambition, and the language of lifestyle. At BNW, we have always believed in creating meaningful intersections between established industries and transformational real estate. Following our successful foray into heritage-led luxury through our collaboration with IHCL for Taj Wellington Mews, it was essential to explore a completely different dimension this time, one rooted in contemporary culture and aspirational living. FashionTV, with its unparalleled global resonance, offered just that."
He further emphasised the relevance of Ras Al Khaimah in this vision: "Al Marjan Island, and Ras Al Khaimah as a whole, are no longer peripheral players. With strategic infrastructure investments, global hospitality interest, and visionary governance, this region is fast becoming a nucleus for new-world urbanism. FashionTV Acacia is designed to match this energy, a future-forward offering built within a destination that itself represents the future."
Vivek Anand Oberoi, managing director and co-founder of BNW Developments, added a thoughtful layer to the partnership: "FashionTV Acacia was never about aesthetic indulgence alone. It's about capturing a cultural pulse, the global shift toward curated spaces that reflect individual identity. We see the home as an extension of expression. With this collaboration, we have translated the ethos of FashionTV… its editorial sharpness, its contemporary rhythm into an architectural experience. It's not a project we launched, but a philosophy we built."
"There's also something incredibly compelling about Ras Al Khaimah right now. It offers the openness of vision that cities often lose with time. By anchoring this project on Al Marjan Island, we're positioning it at the nexus of nature, policy, and international attention. This is where the next chapter of UAE's development narrative is being written, and we're proud to contribute to that growth story," he added.
Maximilian Dennis Edelweiss, representative of FashionTV and CEO of IP-Nation said: "To collaborate with BNW was to find a partner who understood that real estate today is about crafting meaningful experiences. Together, through FashionTV Acacia, we've imagined a space that blurs the line between fashion and function, turning lifestyle into a livable legacy."
BNW Developments has emerged as a powerful force in redefining the real estate paradigm in the UAE. From heritage-rooted collaborations like Taj Wellington Mews, to the bold modernity of FashionTV Acacia, the brand continues to introduce disruptive, brand-led living experiences to the region, each one more defining than the last.
And this is only the beginning. Several new collaborations are already underway, each aimed at further enriching the landscape of global residential living through the lens of storytelling, substance, and strategic thinking.
