Zaha Hadid Architects design iconic new residence launching in UAE’s luxury coastal hotspot.
Richmind, a premium real estate developer known for its ultra-exclusive residential offerings and the flagship vertical of Richmind Holding, has officially entered the UAE market with the launch of Oystra, a landmark residential development located on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah. Designed by world-renowned Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA), Oystra is set to become a future icon in the UAE’s first entertainment and gaming district.
The unveiling of Oystra was celebrated at an exclusive, high-energy launch event held at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. The evening featured a headline performance by global music sensation Craig David, alongside the winner of Richmind’s “Sing Your Way to 30K” competition, Edenojie, a Nigerian artist based in the UAE who earned a AED 30,000 cash prize and wowed the audience with his original music.
The event highlighted Richmind’s deep commitment to creativity, cultural expression, and elevating the arts across all platforms—a vision that aligns seamlessly with the values behind the Oystra project.
“Oystra is more than a development — it’s a declaration of our commitment to world-class design and lifestyle innovation,” said Mohammad Rafiee, CEO of Richmind. “Partnering with Zaha Hadid Architects was a deliberate choice that reflects our bold, visionary approach.”
Architect Abdulla Al Abdouli, CEO of Marjan, added, “Oystra brings yet another architectural masterpiece to Al Marjan. It aligns perfectly with our vision of making Ras Al Khaimah a global hub for tourism, luxury living, and investment.”
Oystra will offer an expansive selection of one- to four-bedroom residences, in addition to duplexes, penthouses, and waterfront villas. The design emphasizes openness, fluid lines, and panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf, using only the finest materials to deliver both style and durability.
“The design draws inspiration from the energy of the sea and sky,” said Christos Passas, Director of Design at ZHA. “It merges form, function, and freedom into a residential experience unlike anything else in the region.”
The project brings together elite global partners, including HBA for interior design, Dewan Architects for architecture, and Cracknell for landscaping—each recognized for their excellence and innovative vision.
Starting at AED 2.9 million, Oystra is scheduled for handover in Q1 2029. Among its many luxury features are:
- A private shoreline surrounding a 150-meter crystal lagoon
- The UAE’s first 360-degree infinity pool, located at the tower’s peak
- Rooftop culinary and lounge experiences with sweeping views
- Lush landscaped terraces and resort-style amenities
Additional facilities include paddle courts, yoga pavilions, golf simulators, artisanal cafés, wellness spaces, and a pet-friendly park—all supported by a dedicated five-star concierge team providing seamless, personalized service to every resident.
The launch event was more than just a celebration — it marked the beginning of a new era for architectural living in the UAE. With Oystra, Richmind is setting a bold precedent, merging avant-garde design with elevated waterfront living to deliver a project destined to leave a lasting legacy.
