Armani

Whether the Armani/Casa recorded as this project's interior designer is also the company that licenses the Armani name the residences carry.

• One firm under two namesThe project's own site credits the interiors to the Armani/Casa Interior Design Studio under the artistic direction of Giorgio Armani, and the residences are sold under the Armani name.source ↗
• A credit is not a licenceArmani/Casa is recorded as the Armani Group's furnishings line and is credited on this project for the interiors alone. The release announcing the residences names no company as holder of the residential brand licence.source ↗

ResolvedSettled: the credit is interiors, not a licence. The project's own site credits the interiors to the Armani/Casa Interior Design Studio under the artistic direction of Giorgio Armani and describes Armani/Casa as a world leader in the luxury furnishings sector; neither it nor the release announcing the residences names any company as holder of the brand licence. Armani/Casa is recorded on this project as the interior designer alone, and the company behind the brand carried by the residences is not named on the pages read.

Whether Armani Beach Residences at Palm Jumeirah has a company running the building, a manager or a residential services agreement, or is a bare name licence with none of the three.

• Nothing operatedArada's own launch release names Tadao Ando as architect and Armani/Casa Interior Design Studio for interiors, and names no hotel, no company running the building and no services agreement anywhere in the release.source ↗

Whether Armani Beach Residences at Palm Jumeirah comprises 53 or 60 residences.

• 53 residencesArada's own launch release states "53 individually designed homes."source ↗
• 60 designer apartmentsA Gulf News article on the project's launch states "60 designer apartments with 2-4 bedrooms."source ↗

When was the Armani component of Burj Khalifa completed?

• 2010, the hotel openingThe opening release, dated 27 April 2010, unveils the world's first Armani Hotel in Burj Khalifa with 160 guest rooms and 144 residences.source ↗
• January 2012A January 2012 completion date appeared in summary text derived from the tracker page for Burj Khalifa. A direct read of that page did not surface the figure as a quotable statement, so it is recorded as unverified.source ↗

Which firm designed the Armani Residences, and on which floors do they sit?

• Levels 9 to 16, 144 residences, no architect credit foundThe opening release places 144 private residences on levels 9 to 16 and credits Giorgio Armani with design, content and style. No opened page names an architect for the residence component specifically.source ↗
• Residences for Armani on floors 19 to 39, designed by Skidmore, Owings & MerrillThis reading surfaced in search-result text and conflicts with the floor placement in the opening release. No page carrying it was opened, so no architect credit is recorded on the project.

Does a company run the Armani Residences at Burj Khalifa, distinct from the hotel, or is Armani here a bare name licence? This determines the brand's licensing model ("operated" vs "name-only") and a project carrying the wrong one fails the downstream build gate.

• A licence naming "the hotels and resorts" as a category, not the residences specificallyGiorgio Armani SpA awarded a long-term licence to EMAAR Hotel & Resorts LLC for the operation of the hotels and resortssource ↗
• Emaar responsible for the project's management and operations, scope unstatedEMAAR fully responsible for the project's real estate, construction, management and operations.source ↗
• The official release names no company running the residences at allA collaboration between Giorgio Armani S.p.A. and Emaar Properties, Armani Hotel Dubai is the first in a collection of hotels, resorts and residences to be unveiled in international destinations.source ↗

The brand at 760 Madison Avenue is written Giorgio Armani in the project's own title and Armani in the same release's description of the building.

• Giorgio ArmaniThe July 2024 release from the developer titles the project the Giorgio Armani Residences at 760 Madison Avenue.source ↗
• ArmaniThe same July 2024 release describes the limestone facade as reflecting the classic nature of the Armani brand.source ↗
• Armani/CasaThe January 2019 announcement quotes Giorgio Armani naming his Armani/Casa Interior Design Studio in connection with the project.source ↗

ResolvedSettled: the two spellings name one brand. The July 2024 release titles the project the Giorgio Armani Residences at 760 Madison Avenue and, of the same building, describes a limestone facade reflecting the classic nature of the Armani brand; the record carries the brand under one name, with the other held as an alias. Armani/Casa is a separate line of the same house, credited here for interiors rather than as the brand on the building.
