Nakheel Properties, a part of Dubai Holding Real Estate, has granted Alec Engineering & Contracting a contract worth AED 1.8 billion to build Como Residences, an exclusive residential tower on Palm Jumeirah.
Como Residences is set for completion in the second quarter of 2028, reaching an impressive height of over 300 metres with 75 floors. The tower will host 81 units, ranging from two- to seven-bedroom apartments, along with a grand duplex penthouse.
Each floor of the building will accommodate a maximum of two apartments, creating a private and exclusive atmosphere for residents. Access-controlled elevators will lead directly to private lobbies, ensuring privacy and convenience for all occupants.
Thanks to its innovative design, each unit will have a sweeping 180-degree view of the sea and Dubai’s skyline. Apartments located on level 23 and above will have 360-degree views of iconic landmarks such as Jumeirah Burj Al Arab to the east and Ain Dubai to the west, making Como Residences a standout in luxury living in Dubai.
Khalid Al Malik, CEO of Dubai Holding Real Estate, commented that Nakheel has a proud history of delivering transformative projects like Palm Jumeirah that transform Dubai’s skyline. Como Residences continues this tradition, exemplifying their commitment to creating world-class destinations. This project represents Dubai’s ambitions and redefines waterfront luxury. With its exclusive collection of residences, spectacular views, and exceptional amenities, Como Residences will cement Dubai’s status as a global leader in real estate.
Barry Lewis, CEO of Alec Engineering & Contracting, expressed excitement about securing the contract. Como Residences, with its curated amenities and luxurious finishes, will stand as the epitome of urban luxury. Lewis said that they are honoured that Dubai Holding Real Estate has entrusted them with the project, and they are confident in their ability to deliver a tower that will further elevate Dubai's world-famous skyline.
Staying true to Nakheel Properties tradition of creating distinguished waterfront developments, the design of Como Residences draws inspiration from the surrounding sea. The tower’s architecture reflects the fluid, organic lines of a seashell, encapsulating the natural beauty of its environment.
A unique feature of Como Residences will be a series of elevated private sandy beaches, complemented by communal and private pools across most levels, reinforcing the sense of oceanfront living. The contemporary interiors of the apartments will be finished to a high standard with luxurious detailing.
Residents will have access to numerous amenities, including a rooftop infinity pool and an observation deck on the 75th floor, providing spectacular views of Dubai's skyline and the Arabian Gulf. Additional facilities will include private parking, an onsite spa, a fully equipped gym, green areas, and children’s play spaces.
Al Malik also said that Como Residences will also boast an architecturally distinct entrance and main lobby, complete with valet and concierge services, offering residents a truly unparalleled living experience.
