The Palm Tower

Nakheel · Palm Jumeirah

The Palm Tower is a mixed-use hotel and residential building on Palm Jumeirah, developed by Nakheel. CTBUH lists it as completed, with an architectural height of 231.5 m, 53 floors above ground and 4 below; Nakheel describes it as a 52-storey tower. Design architects listed by CTBUH are Gensler and RSP Architects Planners & Engineers, and the main contractors were National Projects and Construction and Trojan General Contracting.

According to Nakheel, levels 1 to 18 hold The St. Regis Dubai, The Palm, and levels 19 to 47 hold 432 furnished apartments, from studios to three-bedroom units. The top floors contain the AURA Skypool Lounge on level 50, the SUSHISAMBA restaurant on level 51 and The View at The Palm observation deck on level 52. Nakheel states that the tower is connected to the Palm Monorail.

The St. Regis hotel opened in May 2021 with 264 rooms and 26 suites. In November 2021 CNN reported the opening of the AURA Skypool, 200 m up on the 50th floor, which it called the world's first and highest 360-degree infinity pool.

— Story

01Contract2015 — 2016 · CONTRACT

CTBUH dates the proposal for the tower to 2015. In October 2015 MEED reported that Nakheel had awarded the construction of a 52-storey, 240-metre hotel and residential tower on Palm Jumeirah to a joint venture of Trojan General Contracting and National Projects & Construction. At that stage the plan was for 504 apartments and a five-star hotel with 290 rooms. CTBUH gives 2016 as the construction start.

The residential count had changed to 432 furnished apartments on levels 19 to 47, with handover planned from October 2021 (developer, announced March 2021).
