Luxury car manufacturer Bugatti has revealed the designs for its first foray into residential real estate – a 42-storey skyscraper in Dubai that will have two garage-to-penthouse car lifts.
Developed in partnership with Dubai-developer Binghatti, the Bugatti Residences will be the first residential building branded with the car manufacturer's name.
Bugatti is the latest luxury car brand to move into residential property, with Bentley creating a 61-storey skyscraper in Miami Beach and Aston Martin designing an angular black home in New York as part of its Automotive Galleries and Lairs service, which launched in 2019.
Set to be built in the Business Bay area of Dubai, the 42-storey skyscraper will have a sinuous form wrapped in balconies on every level.
It will have 171 apartments, referred to by the developer as Riviera Mansions, and 11 penthouses dubbed Sky Mansion Penthouses.
According to the developer, the building's form and its interiors draw upon the heritage of the luxury car brand, which was established in 1909.

Mercedes isn't the only one building ostentatious "apartments" in Dubai. Bugatti's will have a car elevator so you can take the car all the way up to where you live.

Definitely more creative than our buildings in the US. But we’re handicapped with out-of-date unskilled illegal labor instead of American trades.

A lot of wasted space and materials. That isn’t what I would call green.

I've been there..several times. There are more Bentleys,Ferraris and Bugattis than you can shake a stick at.Even the Dubai police have Ferraris. The Mall of Dubai is impressive...as is dune bashing out in the desert. Other than that there's little worth seeing.
Living there? I'd rather live in Oakland!

That atrocity is every bit as ugly as their cars.
And yes, most of the original Bugattis were ugly too. Ugliness is a trademark of Bugatti.

If you weren’t nutty before, that thing would drive you insane.
