- Dubai’s $1 billion USD (~1.6 billion AUD) 122-story skyscraper will become the world’s tallest residential building.
- Features include highest restaurant, infinity pool, zip line, rainforest, and penthouse.
- The tower will offer 849 luxury apartments starting at $700,000 USD (~$1.1 million AUD) and is located in Business Bay.
Just when you think Dubai has pushed the boundaries of luxury living as far as they can go with Atlantis the Royal’s breathtaking design or the iconic twin towers with their gravity-defying infinity pool, it decides to rewrite the rulebook yet again. And this time, it’s not just another skyscraper — it’s a 122-story mega building that’s set to break five world records simultaneously once it’s finally completed.
The Tiger Sky Tower is being developed by Tiger Properties and will have an estimated price tag of $1 billion USD (~1.6 billion AUD). Located in the heart of Business Bay, it will soon claim the title of the world’s tallest residential building while throwing in features like an indoor rainforest, a zip line, and the highest infinity pool on the planet. Well, why not?
The Tower That Touches the Clouds
The Tiger Sky Tower will have a height of around 532 meters (1745 feet) and will be more than just another addition to Dubai’s already glittering skyline — it will be an instant icon. The tower will be visible from miles away because of it being wrapped in a gleaming gold façade, designed to catch the desert sun — an unmistakable beacon of excess.
Inside, the tower will have 849 luxury residences that will range from sleek one-bedroom apartments to four-bedroom family homes and even 18 penthouses. And for those who believe regular penthouses are just too pedestrian, there’s the world’s highest “Royal Sky Penthouse.” Prices start at around $700,000 USD (~$1.1 million AUD), but this isn’t just about buying an apartment. It’s about buying a piece of the sky.
Five Records in One Spectacular Tower
Most skyscrapers would be content with setting one world record. But Tiger Sky Tower? It’s going for five. The tower will have the world’s highest restaurant that has been fittingly named “Sky.” This gourmet dining spot will let you enjoy your Wagyu and caviar while looking down on nearly everything else in Dubai. And for those who prefer relaxation with a view, the tower will have the world’s highest infinity pool, which is so high up that it practically merges with the sky — because swimming at ground level is clearly outdated.
Thrill-seekers won’t be disappointed either, as the tower will have the world’s highest zip line, positioned at a dizzying 1,467 feet — taller than the Empire State Building. Perhaps most surprisingly, the structure will also have the highest indoor rainforest within a residential building, so people can be offered a lush tropical environment complete with an adventurous Rollglider ride through the canopy. And then there is the world’s highest penthouse that is an incredible 1,414 feet above ground level and will be another mind-blowing feature of this tower.
Beyond its record-breaking features, Tiger Sky Tower is packed with every luxury amenity imaginable. There are high-end fitness centres, tennis courts, a world-class spa, barbecue areas, a dedicated jogging track, and a health club. Families are covered, too, because there is a specialised children’s play area and even a podium pool for more relaxed afternoons.
If you’ve ever wanted to dine in the clouds, take a swim with the skyline at your feet, or launch yourself off a skyscraper on a zip line, then all you have to do is wait four more years because Tiger Sky Tower is expected to open in April 2029 and will be another jaw-dropping addition to Dubai’s ever-growing skyline.
