Orlinski Realty Group launches in the Middle East to sculpt a new era of branded residences and hospitality
Orlinski Realty Group (ORG), the world’s first real estate brand to merge architecture with contemporary art, has officially launched in the Middle East. Founded by Ilan Amar and Michael Cohen in partnership with Richard Orlinski — the world’s best-selling French contemporary artist since 2015 — the company marks a new era in art-led property development where every project is envisioned as a collectible masterpiece.
The launch underscores Dubai’s growing influence as a global hub for luxury real estate and branded residences. Orlinski Realty Group aims to redefine the boundaries between art, architecture, and hospitality by creating spaces that are not merely designed but sculpted. Each project will be signed, numbered, and authenticated as part of Richard Orlinski’s artistic legacy, offering residents and guests an immersive lifestyle experience akin to living within a work of art.
Richard Orlinski, known for his iconic faceted sculptures that blend pop culture with fine art, has exhibited across the world — from Paris’s Champs-Élysées and Miami Art Basel to Rodeo Drive and Doha. Represented by more than 200 galleries globally, Orlinski has built an audience of over nine million followers on Instagram, making art accessible to a worldwide community.
Speaking at the launch, Ilan Amar, Co-Founder and CEO of Orlinski Realty Group, said:
“The Middle East, and especially the UAE, are the world’s most dynamic markets for branded real estate. With Orlinski Realty Group, we’re challenging what a hotel or residence can be — not just a property to own, but a masterpiece to experience that carries both cultural and financial value.”
Richard Orlinski added:
“For me, art has never been limited to galleries. It belongs in streets, public spaces, and now within homes and hotels. Through Orlinski Realty Group, I want to blur the boundaries between art and life so that every resident becomes part of the story.”
The decision to launch in the UAE reflects the region’s unmatched appetite for innovation in luxury property. The global branded residence sector has surged by over 160% in the past decade, with properties commanding an average 30–35% premium compared to non-branded developments. Orlinski’s established presence in Dubai — where his monumental sculptures are permanently displayed at The Dubai Mall and Jetex Airport — gives the brand immediate recognition among high-net-worth collectors and design enthusiasts.
As Orlinski Realty Group enters the market, it is exploring partnerships with leading developers and hospitality brands to bring its first art-led residences and hotels to life across the region. Each project will embody Orlinski’s philosophy of making art a living, breathing part of daily life.
