Situated in the heart of Dubai, this ambitious project promises to deliver an unparalleled residential experience inspired by Emirates’ renowned in-flight service.

Premium interiors inspired by Emirates

The combination of Emirates’ brand and quality to a new development pushes the boundaries of branded real estate in the UAE.

The airline, in its social media post, described the planned development as a combination of “premium interiors exuding sophistication and elegance, mirroring the comfort and style synonymous with Emirates.”

Exclusive airport access

One of the most distinctive features of Emirates Residences is its exclusive airport, dedicated solely to the convenience of its residents.

This private airport facility will cater exclusively to the needs of Emirates Residences’ inhabitants, providing seamless connectivity and access to domestic and international travel destinations.

Construction

The construction on Dubai’s newest super-tall tower is slated to commence in February 2025.

Ultra-luxury living

Emirates Residences represents a bold vision of luxury living, promising residents an unrivaled lifestyle marked by sophistication, comfort, and exclusivity.

With its opulent interiors, exclusive airport access, and towering stature, Emirates Residences is poised to set a new benchmark for luxury living in Dubai.

April Fool’s Day

However, two key details makes this project questionable – at 380 floors tall this development would throw a shadow on Burj Khalifa which comprises of 163 floors so how realistic is this project. Also, the construction, according to Emirates is slated for February 31, 2025 – a day which will never come.

On that note, Happy April Fool’s Day everyone!
