Dubai has never been a city that builds small. And with the Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co Residences now rising from the heart of Business Bay, it is once again setting a benchmark that the rest of the world will measure itself against.
A collaboration between Binghatti Properties, one of the UAE’s most forward-thinking developers, and Jacob & Co, the internationally acclaimed luxury jewellery and watchmaking house, the project is designed to become the tallest residential tower in the world upon completion. Planned at 557 metres across 104 floors with seven basement levels, it surpasses the current record holder, Central Park Tower in New York City, staking Dubai’s claim as the global capital of residential ambition. Above-ground construction commenced in early 2025, with delivery targeted for 2026.
The tower’s structural crown, a sculptural arrangement of diamond-shaped spires inspired by Jacob & Co’s signature gem cuts, is engineered to top the structure in a way that is as technically deliberate as it is visually striking. The pinnacle is not merely decorative — it is the defining element that takes the building to its record height and gives it an instantly recognisable silhouette on the Dubai skyline.
Residences begin from the 20th floor, offering configurations ranging from two-bedroom Emerald Villas to the extraordinary Billionaire Sky Penthouse, a two-floor, seven-bedroom residence at the tower’s summit. Each unit draws its name and interior language from Jacob & Co.’s most iconic timepiece and gemstone collections, with finishes spanning Nero Marquina marble, Calacatta Borghini stone, brushed stainless steel, and velvet panelling throughout.
For the broader sector, Burj Binghatti represents a significant marker in the evolution of supertall residential construction, where structural engineering, branded identity, and ultra-luxury living are converging into a single, unified vision. As Dubai continues to attract global capital and architectural ambition in equal measure, projects of this scale signal that the city’s skyline is still very much a work in progress, and one that continues to raise the bar with every tower that breaks ground.
