Lacroix to design tower in Dubai

Property developer Abyaar and designer Christian Lacroix are teaming up to build a residential tower in one of Dubai's beachside suburbs. The 38-unit, Jumeirah-based tower will incorporate a Lacroix-designed facade, expansive lobby and luxury interiors. Although Lacroix has worked on several Paris-based boutique hotel interiors, this is the first residential offering from the designer.
