Dubai’s Burj Binghatti all set to break records as the world’s tallest residential tower

The tallest residential building in the world will allegedly be constructed by property developer Binghatti in collaboration with the upscale jewellery brand Jacob&Co. Both Muhammed Binghatti, CEO of Binghatti Holding, and Jacob Arabo, chairman of Jacob & Co. were present at the ground-breaking ceremony.

Living in high-rise buildings is still a very prominent feature of the Dubai real estate market. The asymmetrical Wasl skyscraper is beginning to take shape, and construction is scheduled to be complete in 2024.

Binghatti shared a collection of images from the occasion that marked the start of construction on the Burj Binghatti Jacob&Co homes on LinkedIn. The Business Bay skyscraper’s exact height is yet unknown, however, the Central Park Tower in New York currently holds the record for the tallest residential-only structure with a height of 472.4 metres. The tower was unveiled on November 16 at a festive launch event hosted at the Coca-Cola Arena.

According to the “hypertower” concept, it would have an infinity pool with a view of the Dubai cityscape. The opulent residential tower has amenities including a premium spa, a gym, and a committed concierge team that provides services like bodyguards, chauffeurs, daycare, private chefs, and more. An exclusive member’s club and opulent penthouses will also be found in the tower with the formal name Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co 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. 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,” said Muhammad Binghatti, CEO and Head of Architecture of Binghatti.

“Inspired from our high watchmaking collections, these penthouses will consist of three types, each named after our flagship Jacob & Co timepieces Fleurs De Jardin, Astronomia and Billionaire. The interior design of the penthouse collection will be directly inspired by their unique aesthetics. As suggested by the name, the Billionaire Penthouse is the hyper tower’s jewel in the crown,” said Jacob Arabo, Chairman and Creative Director of Jacob & Co.
