“The sell-out of Phase 1 is a resounding validation of our vision to bring art into living. Oystra has resonated deeply with the international community, particularly those in Europe who value the fusion of iconic Zaha Hadid architecture with functional luxury – at an evergrowing lifestyle destination like Al Marjan Island. Our Phase 2 launch will see even more exclusivity, premium offerings and limited edition homes, setting this new standard of UAE living to the world. The interest from global investors to buy property in the UAE is a trend we will continue to cater to. Our recent expansion into China with a sales office in Shanghai and our collaboration with Harrods in London in February are strategic steps to be closer to our global clientele,” Mohammad Rafiee, CEO of Richmind said in a statement.

Richmind said the development will include more than 50 amenities including a lagoon, spa, yoga spaces and a golf simulator. The project will also include Ras Al Khaimah’s first 360-degree infinity pool, a beach club and concierge services.

“With Phase 2, we continue the narrative of fluid elegance. The architecture of Oystra is designed to engage with the elements,the sea, the wind, and the light. We are thrilled to see how well the design has been received globally. It confirms that there is a universal language for beauty and innovation, and we look forward to seeing this second phase come to life, offering residents a spatial experience that is both grounding and limitless,” Christos Passas, Director of Design at Zaha Hadid Architects added.

Richmind said construction is progressing toward a planned handover in 2029. The company operates across the UK, Germany, China and the UAE and plans further expansion.
