Dubai has said it will build the tallest residential building in the world, with plans for a “lavish” 100-storey “hypertower”.
UAE-based property developer Binghatti is building the tower in partnership with Jacobs & Co, the jewellery maker.
“The proposed design comprises over 100 storeys that are made of lavish two-bedroom and three-bedroom residences,” the company said. “This hypertower also houses a dedicated concierge team, offering a la carte services such as daycare, bodyguard, chauffeur and private chef.”
The building will be topped by diamond-shaped spires to give the appearance of a gem-spattered crown.
Dubai already has the world’s tallest building – the Burj Khalifa at 2,722ft, or just over half a mile.
The tallest residential building is the Central Park Tower in New York, at 1,550ft with 98 floors. The height of the Dubai proposal has not been disclosed, but the developers insist it will be the tallest.
