Binghatti's New Dubai skyscraper-world's tallest residential tower

Dubai's Ambitious Skyline

A new skyscraper in Dubai is aiming to be the world’s tallest residential tower. In the process, developer Binghatti has coined a new term called ‘hyper-tower’. Binghatti has aligned with Jacob & Co, the luxury jewellery and watch brand, for the project.

Muhammad Binghatti, CEO and Head of Architecture of Binghatti, says that what Binghatti has done in real estate dubai by creating a brand in Business Bay, through a distinct design philosophy and architectural identity is very similar to what Jacob & Co has done in the world of jewelry and horology.

The Birth of the Hyper-Tower Concept

Dubai already has a tower with a watchmaker’s branding – the Rolex Tower on Sheikh Zayed Road. The new One Thousand Museum Tower by Binghatti and Partners will reflect in its design aesthetics. “We took inspiration from the complex horological movements that beat in Jacob & Co timepieces and we integrated them into the key elements of the tower,” said Binghatti. “The diamond-shaped spires sitting at the peak of the tower are reminiscent of an actual crown, an ornament of unique finesse, a masterpeice in real estate dubai, inspired by the design of Jacob & Co’s finely cut gems. This is the apex of the luxury narrative in this evocative construction, a signature feature that add further grandeur to the city's skyline.”



Architectural Inspiration

In keeping with the current and future demand patterns for luxury penthouses in Dubai—for super-luxury apartments that will feature three types of penthouses named after flagship Jacob & Co. timepieces—Binghatti has ticked that particular box. Binghatti is building five penthouses at the tower, along with five more towers in Dubai. The interior designs of the penthouses collection will also be influenced by Jacob Arabo’s vision for the company’s new women’s collections.

Unparalleled Amenities

The building itself will offer multiple levels dedicated to amenities—everything from a private members club and infinity pool to a luxury spa and gym. Residents will also have access to a dedicated concierge team that can arrange for private chefs, a chauffeur or even a bodyguard for added security.

Dubai's Towering Developments

The tower will be the tallest residential tower in the world, when it is completed. The developer has claimed that it will be 104 floors high but we are still waiting for an official announcement from them. The tallest tower in Dubai currently is the Princess Tower, which stands 414 meters. In an interview with Arabian Business , Mohammad Binghatti, CEO of Binghatti stated: ‘We took inspiration from the complex horological movements that beat in Jacob & Co timepieces and we integrated them into the key elements of the tower.’

Conclusion

He added that a diamond-shaped spire sits at the peak of the tower is reminiscent of an actual crown, an ornament of unique finesse inspired by the design of Jacob & Co’s finely cut gems. He added that it is a signature feature that will add further grandeur to the Business Bay's skyline.
