Nakheel has awarded a US $490mn contract for the construction of Como Residences on Palm Jumeirah to ALEC Engineering & Contracting.
Scheduled for handover in Q2 2028, the 75-storey residential project will stand over 300m tall and offer 81 residences, ranging from two- to seven-bedroom apartments, including a duplex penthouse. A maximum of two apartments occupies each floor, providing an exclusive lifestyle for residents, served by access-controlled elevators leading to private lobbies, said a statement.
The design of each apartment will give residents a 180-degree view of the sea and skyline, while apartments placed from level 23 and above have a 360-degree panoramic view of Jumeirah Burj Al Arab to the east and Ain Dubai to the west.
“Nakheel has a proud legacy of delivering iconic projects like Palm Jumeirah that transform Dubai’s skyline,” said Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate. “Como Residences builds on this legacy, reflecting our commitment to developing world-class destinations. This is more than just another residential development; it’s a statement of Dubai’s ambition and sets a new standard for waterfront luxury. With its limited collection of exquisite residences, breathtaking views and unparalleled amenities, Como Residences will solidify Dubai’s position as a global leader in real estate.”
Barry Lewis, Chief Executive Officer of ALEC Engineering & Contracting added, “With its curated amenities and opulent finishes that will rival those of even the most luxurious properties, Como Residences promises to stand apart as the pinnacle of urban living. We are pleased that Dubai Holding Real Estate is entrusting this iconic project to us. I am confident that given our track record of executing some of the most ambitious projects in the region, we will be able to deliver a tower that will further elevate Dubai’s world-renowned city skyline.”
In line with Nakheel’s heritage for creating waterfront living experiences, Como Residences’ architectural design is said to take inspiration from the sea that it overlooks, reflecting patterns of a seashell and providing an organic reflection of nature. A feature of Como Residences is its series of elevated private sandy beaches, with most levels of the residences featuring both communal and private pools, and the views of the sea from each apartment, the statement explained.
Residents can also enjoy rooftop infinity pool and an observation deck on the 75th floor, providing panoramic views of the Dubai skyline and the Arabian Gulf. Amenities will also include private parking, an onsite spa, gym with a view, green spaces and children’s play areas. Como Residences also features an architecturally unique entrance and main lobby with valet and concierge services, the developer noted.
