The story

A project worth looking at properly.

Kudos AV was commissioned by Wizcraft Entertainment Agency, one of the world's leading experiential event agencies, with operations across India and the UAE, to deliver the London production for their client, DAMAC Properties. Wizcraft is internationally recognised for producing large-scale brand experiences, luxury launches and high-profile global events for some of the world's biggest brands.

DAMAC Properties is one of the most prestigious names in global real estate: the largest private real estate developer in the UAE and the Middle East, with an international portfolio of luxury developments and landmark branded residences. The London launch celebrated Chelsea Residences by DAMAC, an iconic waterfront development in Dubai Maritime City created in partnership with Chelsea Football Club.

Being entrusted with the technical production of a launch of this profile reflects our reputation for delivering premium corporate events to the highest standard.

Project Overview

The final tower, unveiled at The Dorchester

Held at the iconic Dorchester Hotel on Park Lane, the exclusive launch introduced the final tower of Chelsea Residences by DAMAC to an audience of leading property brokers, investors and VIP guests.

The development combines world-class residences with Chelsea Football Club branding throughout the resort, featuring premium wellness facilities, signature restaurants, luxury amenities and an iconic rooftop football pitch, creating one of Dubai's most exciting new residential destinations.

The evening featured a keynote project presentation by Dr. Baydoun and the official unveiling of Chelsea Residences by DAMAC, with special guest Gary Cahill, the former Chelsea FC captain and UEFA Champions League winner who took eight major trophies during his Chelsea career, and hosting by a presenter from Chelsea TV.

Our brief was to transform the venue into an environment that reflected the prestige of both the DAMAC and Chelsea FC brands, while creating an engaging experience for every guest in the room.
