Dubai to build world’s tallest residential skyscraper

New hypertower with diamond-shaped spires comprises over 100 stories, featuring lavish two-bedroom and three-bedroom residences

Binghatti on Wednesday announced a project to develop the world’s tallest residential structure in Dubai — Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co Residences.

The UAE developer, which has an investment portfolio exceeding Dh7 billion, said it is going to introduce a new era in uber-luxury living by launching ultra-luxury Dubai skyscraper in cooperation with Jacob & Co. However, no time-frame is given to complete the project.

“This unparalleled skyscraper aims to set a record as one of the tallest residential constructions in the world,” according to a Binghatti statement.

In a great leap upwards, the property developer said ultra-luxury skyscraper will stand opulently in the heart of Dubai’s most eminent financial district, Business Bay. The proposed design comprises over 100 stories that are made of lavish two-bedroom and three-bedroom residences.

“Today marks the significant partnership of two like-minded brands, both on an ever-striving pursuit of absolute elegance. Both our brands are born from the sheer desire to achieve what breaks boundaries,” Binghatti said.

“What Binghatti has done in real estate, by creating a brand through a distinct design philosophy and architectural identity is very similar to what Jacob & Co has done in the world of jewellery and horology”, he said.
