An architectural bet on a world record
Binghatti and Jacob & Co set out in 2022 to build the tallest residential-only tower on earth, surpassing New York's Central Park Tower. The brochure's own comparison chart lines this project up against Central Park Tower (472m, 98 floors), 432 Park Avenue (425.7m, 85 floors), and several of Dubai's own tallest residential addresses — Princess Tower, 23 Marina, Elite Residence, and the Marina Torch. Public reporting on the final figures for this tower itself varies by source and date (commonly cited between roughly 555 and 557 metres, and 98 to 112 floors), which is normal for a supertall project still under construction — treat any single number as a snapshot, not a certainty, and confirm current status with us.
The design language borrows directly from Jacob & Co's watchmaking — the tower's crown, positioned at its peak, is built around diamond-shaped spires referencing the brand's signature jewel-setting. Every residence tier in the building is named after one of the brand's actual watch collections.
Where it sits
The tower is in Business Bay, close to the Dubai Design District, Dubai Creek Harbour, and the Business Bay Marina Yacht Club — arguably Dubai's most central luxury address, with the Burj Khalifa and Downtown skyline visible from most upper floors.
The residences
Seven tiers, each named after a Jacob & Co timepiece, and every single one — from the smallest villa to the largest penthouse — comes with its own private infinity pool.
| Residence | Beds / Baths | Levels | Total area | Price (AED) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sapphire Villa | 2.5 / 3 | 12–48 | 3,335 sq ft | 8.4M – 10.98M |
| Emerald Villa | 2 / 3 | 12–48 | 3,337 sq ft | 8.2M – 11.92M |
| Ruby Villa | 3 / 4 | 49–82 | 3,299 sq ft | 14.0M – 17.24M |
| Diamond Sky Mansion | 4 / 7 | 83–96 | 6,976 sq ft | 8.2M – 11.92M* |
| Fleurs de Jardin Sky Mansion | 6 / 9 | 83–96 | 6,976 sq ft | 31.0M – 36.1M |
| Astronomia Sky Penthouse | 5 / 7 | 100–101 | 11,807 sq ft | 175M flat |
| The Billionaire Sky Penthouse | 7 / 10 | 102–103 | ~44,938 sq ft (2 floors) | 750M flat |
*The documentation we've reviewed prices Diamond Sky Mansion identically to Emerald Villa despite being roughly double the size — this looks like a duplication in the source material rather than an intentional price, and it's exactly the kind of detail we'd confirm before you paid a deposit on this tier specifically.
Services
Every tier includes access to concierge, chauffeur, bodyguard, and butler services, a titanium building access card, private chef and daycare service, housekeeping, and building-wide amenities including an infinity pool, gym and training facilities, spa, and a dedicated lobby lounge — some of these are described as à la carte add-ons rather than automatically included, so worth clarifying per tier.
Payment plan and timeline
The document we've reviewed directly doesn't state an explicit payment schedule, but multiple public listings consistently cite a 70/30 structure: 30% on booking, 40% during construction, and the remaining 30% on handover. Public reporting on handover has ranged from Q2 to Q4 2026 depending on the source — a live inventory snapshot we've been given confirms handover as 30 June 2027, later than most public estimates, which is worth knowing if you were anchored to an earlier date.
| Unit type | Payment plan | Offer status |
|---|---|---|
| All types | 10% DP : 20% : 70% on completion | Existing payment plan |
What's actually available right now

Latest construction updates
Binghatti posts its own site-progress videos directly to its official YouTube channel — the most reliable way to see current construction status on a hypertower like this is straight from the source rather than a third-party re-upload.
