Brabus embarks on ultra-luxury real estate venture
Brabus, the German brand globally renowned for its high-performance automotive creations, has officially unveiled its most ambitious project yet – Brabus Island. The unveiling, held during a private, invitation-only event in Abu Dhabi, marks a significant milestone as the company steps into the realm of luxury real estate for the first time in its nearly 50-year history. Situated in the exclusive Al Seef District of Al Raha Beach, Brabus Island occupies approximately 100,000 square metres of prime waterfront property. Just minutes from Zayed International Airport and the city centre of Abu Dhabi, and an hour's drive from Dubai, the Island is poised to become a prestigious landmark in the Emirate. Described as a bold new expression of the brand's identity, Brabus Island embodies the essence of its design language through architecture, offering a living experience that mirrors the distinctiveness of its vehicles. This transition from automotive design to residential living is viewed as a natural evolution of the Brabus ethos. Chief Executive Officer Constantin Buschmann described the venture as both a milestone and a logical step forward. He noted that while Brabus has long crafted vehicles that stir emotions and elevate lifestyles, Brabus Island now allows the company to create the lifestyle itself. Abu Dhabi, with its blend of opulence and innovation, provides the ideal setting for this expansion. Architecturally, the development features sleek, minimalist silhouettes that are immediately recognisable as an extension of Brabus's progressive design DNA. The result is a striking visual addition to the Abu Dhabi skyline – one that asserts the brand's presence beyond the automotive world. The residences on Brabus Island are fully customisable, using a modular design system inspired by the brand's made-to-order supercars. Homeowners can choose from three curated aesthetic themes: Black and Bold, White Bliss, and Gray Haven — each offering a unique interpretation of the Brabus lifestyle. From there, clients are invited to personalise every detail to reflect their individual style, effectively creating a Brabus Masterpiece to live in. This uncompromising commitment to bespoke luxury culminates in what the brand refers to as the Brabus 1-Second-Wow – an immediate, visceral sense of impact that characterises every element of the Island's design and experience. With the introduction of Brabus Island, the brand has redefined the boundaries of its influence. No longer confined to vehicles, Brabus is now shaping entire environments, turning its signature aesthetic into a fully immersive, architectural reality.

Luxury car brand to design hundreds of apartments and villas on its very own ISLAND with properties to start from £600k
The priciest properties will run up to €6.5 million, or around £5.5 million WELCOME TO PARADISE Luxury car brand to design hundreds of apartments and villas on its very own ISLAND with properties to start from £600k LUXURY high-performance tuning company Brabus has branched out… into the creation of private islands. The German aftermarket modifier, famous for its association with Mercedes, as well as Maybach and Smart, is best known for the Brabus G-Wagon and the recently unveiled Brabus Big Boy motorhome. 5 Luxury car modifier Brabus, best-known for their affiliation with Mercedes-Benz, is designing an entire island Credit: supplied 5 To be known as Brabus Island, it wil boast four high-risers with 350 apartments Credit: supplied 5 Apartment buyers can choose from three aesthetics; Black and Bold, White Bliss or Grey Haven Credit: supplied 5 Each property will be inspired by Brabus' 'signature look and feel' Credit: supplied 5 The brand, which has been around since 1977, has created a number of high-class models over the years Credit: Handout But now they're reaching even more bold and ambitious new heights by modifying an entire island - with a collection of luxury properties to be built in Abu Dhabi. Aptly named Brabus Island, the 0.4 square mile piece of land will feature four high-rise towers with 350 apartments, plus around 100 villas. The project will be located on the plush Al Seef seafront district in collaboration with Abu Dhabi-based developer Reportage Properties, with each home on the island to feature highly customisable interior - as is typical with Brabus. Indeed, there will be three aesthetics that buyers can choose from; Black and Bold, White Bliss or Grey Haven. Each apparently is inspired by Brabus' 'signature look and feel.' Brabus CEO, Constantin Buschmann, said: 'For nearly five decades, Brabus has built products that move people – emotionally, viscerally, physically. 'But this is different. Now, for the first time, we're not just designing vehicles for a lifestyle – we're designing the lifestyle itself. 'Brabus Island is an exciting and very significant design opportunity, and Abu Dhabi is exactly the right place for it.' The Brabus website states the minimum cost of one of the apartments will be €700,000, which is around £600,000, while the most expensive will run up to €6.5 million, or around £5.5 million. Construction on the island is set to begin this summer and has been pencilled in for completion by early 2028. Luxury £1m motorhome with huge living space, heated floors & spa bathroom This is reportedly when residents will begin to move into their new luxury apartments. Brabus, which has existed since 1977, has its headquarters in Bottrop, Germany. As well as Mercedes, they have worked with other luxury brands like Porsche and Rolls-Royce in the past. They eve have lines for boats, fashion, and collaborations. This comes as Mercedes recently revealed the ultimate in luxury travel with a new MPV that's been likened to a 'private lounge'. The new-look V-Class concept isn't just an ordinary-looking van with extra bells and whistles, it's potentially the king of all people carriers. The German giants, who showcased the VIP shuttle at the Shanghai Motor Show, claim they have "set a benchmark" for the future of premium driving. The new V-Class line-up promises a range of practical family vehicles that scale all the way up to 'luxurious limousines' – with the first model set to arrive in 2026. While the exterior might resemble a slightly more futuristic-looking van, Mercedes says it 'marks the next step' in their design language, with aerodynamics playing a significant role in its appearance.
