The official launch of the project is scheduled for 14 January 2026.
Binghatti Developers chair Muhammad BinGhatti said: “To partner once again with Mercedes‑Benz is a testament to our shared philosophy of excellence, precision and timeless design.
“‘Mercedes‑Benz Places – Binghatti City’ is envisioned as a world-class urban experience, a place where luxury and innovation converge to create a complete city within a city. This master plan will become one of Dubai’s most distinguished destinations and a true symbol of elevated living.”
The next branded initiative expands on previous collaborations by transitioning from single-building projects to a full-scale district, extending the Mercedes-Benz Places real-estate concept within Dubai.
It also reflects an ongoing effort by Mercedes-Benz to apply its design principles to architecture and urban planning.
According to the companies involved, the development uses the ‘Sensual Purity’ design philosophy found in Mercedes-Benz’s automotive work as a guiding theme for both architecture and spatial planning across Binghatti City.
Mercedes-Benz Group marketing and sales, board of management member Mathias Geisen said: “Creating extraordinary experiences for our customers is at the core of who we are. With our next branded real estate project ‘Mercedes-Benz Places – Binghatti City’ in Dubai we are taking this promise to a new level – shaping destinations where our brand becomes something you can truly call home.”
