Sales at the world’s tallest residential tower, the Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co. Residences, in Dubai are now open.
What would you pay to live in Binghatti Tower, the world’s tallest residential tower, in Dubai? At 557m and 103 floors high, a penthouse in this “next-level skyline jewel” is by application only. But what an investment it is.
Much like hyper horology describes excess, extravagance, daring, out-of-the-box thinking and boundary-pushing technology in high watchmaking, so is Dubai’s new hypertower the ultimate in record-breaking residential construction. The design excellence demonstrated by the leading city-based real estate developer, Binghatti, and artistry and craftsmanship that epitomises high jewellery and horology brand Jacob & Co. has led to the skyscraper’s naming as the crown jewel of Dubai.
Binghatti and Jacob & Co. are now accepting nominations from clients applying for acquisition. The programme’s nomination and sales are an exclusive process where dedicated VIP client relationship representatives register interest and manage client nomination and sales.
No ordinary residential units, these architectural marvels are referred to as mansions and villas ranging in size from quarter-floor to full-floor to expansive two-floor penthouse. Each one features the most refined materials and exquisite finishes, unmatched in luxury and elegance.
Unimpeded views of Dubai’s majestic skyline and the spectacular Burj Khalifa from floor-to-ceiling glass expanses offer a unique perspective for each resident depending on their location within the Binghatti Tower. The interiors draw inspiration from the high jewellery and horology masterpieces Jacob & Co. is renowned for and the residences are named after precious gemstones. The lavish quarter-floor, two and two-plus bedroom units are called Emerald Villas and Sapphire Villas, while the three-bedroom units with private infinity pool are called Ruby Villas.
The larger residences echo the gems Jacob & Co. favours above all others. The Ruby Sky Mansions offer three bedrooms while the Fleurs de Jardin Sky Mansions and Diamond Sky Mansions occupy entire half-floors. They also come with a private infinity pool.
The most distinguished units are the penthouses that crown the Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co. Residences, named after Jacob & Co.’s most exclusive and celebrated timepieces. The enchanting Astronomia Sky Penthouse extends across an entire top floor, while the Billionaire Sky Penthouse, the centrepiece of the hypertower, occupies two floors overlooking the entire Dubai cityscape.
Roman Vnoukov executed the architectural and interior design with Jacob’s inspiration and creative direction. Roman, one of the world’s best architectural and interior designers, is a long-time friend of Jacob and they have been working together for decades designing the Jacob & Co. stores worldwide.
The Binghatti Tower offers an impressive range of exclusively designed amenities and services including a café bar, chef’s table, outdoor pool, indoor sky pool, pool bars, concierge and valet services. Additionally, residents enjoy exclusive access to a private fitness club, serene sky gardens and a spa. There is, of course, also a children’s recreation area. For privacy, convenience and security, penthouse residences feature private elevators for direct access.
