Interstellar Tower by Mr. Eight Development

Founded in 2021 by Latvian entrepreneur and designer Emils Daujats, Mr. Eight Development has rapidly emerged as a boutique powerhouse in the UAE’s luxury real estate landscape. Drawing from over 20 years of European development experience, Daujats brings a design philosophy rooted in natural materials, architectural precision, and long-term livability. This ethos—first established in award-winning Baltic projects like Ezera SOLO and Majori Residence—now defines Mr. Eight’s growing Dubai portfolio.

What sets Mr. Eight apart is its unique positioning: large enough to house a full in-house architecture, MEP, and procurement team, yet intentionally compact, with fewer than 40 core staff ensuring director-level attention to every project. Their “one concept, one building” principle guarantees that no two developments are alike, from custom layouts and curated lobby art to unique signature scents. The company also avoids studio and one-bedroom units, focusing on homes designed to nurture community and long-term ownership.

Industry acclaim followed swiftly. Villa del GAVI, a low-rise, beachfront development on Dubai Islands, was awarded Best Luxury Branded Residences – Dubai at the 2025 Luxury Lifestyle Awards. The project features travertine façades, Febal Casa kitchens, and Tom Dixon lighting—plus resort-style services including Rolls-Royce transfers and private club access. The recognition solidified Mr. Eight’s ability to combine boutique scale with ultra-luxury experience.

Their next venture, Interstellar Tower in Jumeirah Village Triangle, exemplifies future-forward urban living. Set for completion in 2027, the 29-storey development will include 236 residences with balcony plunge pools, a rooftop park, and resort-grade wellness and entertainment spaces. It also won the 2025 Luxury Lifestyle Award for Best Luxury Sustainable Residential Development, thanks to standout environmental features like high-performance UV glazing, greywater recycling, and solar-ready infrastructure.

At its core, Mr. Eight Development cultivates sustainable communities where craftsmanship, innovation, and narrative intersect. In a market often defined by scale and speed, Mr. Eight proves that boutique vision, executed with integrity, can reshape Dubai’s luxury real estate future.
