An architectural statement

Designed by AtkinsRéalis, Corinthia Dubai is poised to become one of the tallest buildings in the world, soaring over 500 metres. The twin towers will feature a dramatic, cantilevered sky lobby suspended mid-air, creating a striking silhouette on Dubai’s skyline. Inspired by Art Deco elegance, the towers aim to blend timeless aesthetics with contemporary design.

“These towers reflect timeless perfection, standing as an icon on SZR. They epitomize the essence of urban luxury and a modern oasis in the sky. Their crafted geometry scales the sky while gently stepping back, unveiling one-of-a-kind residences with unparalleled vistas of Dubai’s skyline and the Arabian Gulf,” said Timothy Winstanley, AIA, RIBA, design director and lead architect of the project.

Luxury residences with sky-high amenities

The residences are designed with generous, open layouts that maximise uninterrupted sea and skyline views. Select units will include private pools, gyms, and expansive indoor-outdoor entertainment areas. Residents will enjoy privileged access to Corinthia Wellness and the hotel’s renowned amenities, supported by the brand’s signature service standards.

The interior concept, “Stillness in the Sky,” draws inspiration from a blooming garden, featuring soft, tactile materials, champagne-metal finishes, floral motifs, and abundant natural light, transforming everyday living into moments of quiet luxury.

Spanning 330,000 square metres and slated for completion by 2030, Corinthia Dubai promises a multifaceted lifestyle combining cutting-edge architecture, exceptional hospitality, and modern comfort. Supported by Driven | Forbes Global Properties, the project is set to become a landmark that sets global benchmarks for luxury living in the heart of Dubai.
