10 Incredible New Skyscrapers Coming to Dubai That Will Change the Skyline Forever

Dubai has never been shy about building upward.

The city that gave the world the Burj Khalifa, the tallest structure on the planet, is nowhere close to finished with its skyline ambitions. Right now, across Business Bay, Dubai Marina, JVC, Sheikh Zayed Road and beyond, a new generation of towers is either under construction or in advanced planning stages — and what is coming makes the current skyline look like a warm-up act.

We are talking about private balcony pools. The world’s highest nightclub. A facade inspired by a Swiss luxury watch. Sound healing rooms. A mini water park on a residential floor. Branded residences carrying names like Ferrari, Franck Muller, Cavalli, Six Senses and Trump.

If you are thinking about buying property in Dubai, investing in off-plan opportunities, or simply curious about what this city is going to look like in three years, here are the ten most extraordinary new skyscrapers coming to Dubai.

1. Bayz 101 by Danube Properties, Business Bay

Danube Properties announced Bayz 101 at the start of 2024 and it is already one of the most talked about towers in the Business Bay pipeline.

The building will stand 101 floors tall — putting it among a very small number of structures in Dubai to have crossed the century mark in floors. Expected completion is 2028, and the building will offer apartments from studios through to four-bedroom residences.

The amenities list reads more like a resort than a residential tower. A full sports arena, a running track, tennis courts and a sky bar are among the confirmed facilities. For investors watching Business Bay, Danube has a track record of delivering on time and generating strong pre-handover appreciation.

Bayz 101 sits in one of Dubai’s most in-demand investment corridors. Business Bay consistently delivers gross rental yields of 6.5 to 8% and corporate tenant demand here remains among the strongest in the city.

Location: Business Bay
Developer: Danube Properties
Expected Completion: 2028
Unit Types: Studios to 4-bedroom apartments

2. Burj Azizi — One of the Tallest Buildings in the World

If one tower on this list is going to rewrite the record books, Burj Azizi is the one.

Standing at 725 metres across 131 floors, Burj Azizi is set to be one of the tallest towers ever built on the planet. The scale of this project is genuinely difficult to comprehend until you look at the renders and realise the building dwarfs virtually everything currently standing in Dubai.

The tower is a mixed use behemoth combining residential apartments, hotel rooms, retail spaces and entertainment floors. Headlines on the amenity list include the world’s highest nightclub and the world’s highest observation deck — two superlatives that will draw visitors and residents from across the globe long after the building opens.

The residential component spans one, two and three-bedroom apartments along with ultra-luxury penthouses. Every 20 floors of the residential section contains its own amenity deck with a swimming pool, fully equipped gym, yoga centre, spa, games room and cinema. Effectively, residents on different floors inhabit slightly different vertical communities within the same building.

For investors watching Dubai’s branded and luxury residence market, Burj Azizi will be the defining statement of this decade.

Developer: Azizi Developments
Height: 725 metres, 131+ floors
Unit Types: 1, 2, 3-bedroom apartments and luxury penthouses

3. DAMAC Cavalli Tower, Media City

DAMAC Properties has built a reputation in Dubai for partnerships with iconic global brands. The Cavalli Tower in Media City is among the most striking examples of what that strategy produces.

Spanning 71 floors and bearing the name of the high-end Italian fashion house Roberto Cavalli, every floor of this tower features a different interior design treatment — which means no two apartments in the building are identical. The higher you go, the more elevated the specification becomes, culminating in upper floor apartments that include private swimming pools on the balcony.

For buyers who want a residence that makes a genuine statement — and for investors targeting the premium short-term rental market where distinctive interiors command higher nightly rates — the Cavalli Tower delivers something the standard luxury tower cannot replicate.

The Media City location places residents directly adjacent to Barsha Heights, with the Dubai Media City and Internet City free zones providing a built-in professional tenant community immediately next door.

Developer: DAMAC Properties
Location: Media City
Floors: 71
Unit Types: 2 to 6-bedroom apartments with branded interiors

4. Dubai Creek Tower, Dubai Creek Harbour

No list of upcoming Dubai landmarks is complete without the Dubai Creek Tower — even if its final form is still being confirmed.

The original ambition was extraordinary: a structure taller than the Burj Khalifa that would anchor the entire Dubai Creek Harbour master development. A redesign was approved and Emaar Properties founder Mohamed Alabbar has confirmed the tower will not reach the height originally envisioned — but equally confirmed that the project is alive, moving forward, and will still serve as the centrepiece of one of the largest master-planned developments in the world.

Creek Harbour as a community is already well advanced. Retail, dining, promenades and residential towers are operational. The eventual completion of the Creek Tower will elevate the community’s global profile in a way few single buildings can achieve.

For investors in Creek Harbour’s ongoing off-plan pipeline — including Emaar’s Creek Bay, Creek Haven, Fior and Sera developments — the Creek Tower represents the long term vision anchor that sustains demand for the surrounding community.

Developer: Emaar Properties
Location: Dubai Creek Harbour
Status: Redesign confirmed, timeline being updated

5. Electra Tower, Jumeirah Village Circle

If the Cavalli Tower is for fashion lovers and Burj Azizi is for record chasers, Electra Tower in JVC is for water enthusiasts.

The 38-floor tower is essentially a vertical aquatic resort. Private balcony pools in individual apartments. A rooftop sky pool. A beach themed pool at ground level. A mini water park built into the building.

And when residents are done with the water, the tower transitions seamlessly into an entertainment hub: an indoor cinema, a mini-golf course, a bowling alley and dedicated picnic, barbecue and pizza areas.

Construction is underway with an expected completion in 2027. For investors, Electra sits in JVC — the community that has consistently delivered gross rental yields of 7.5 to 9%, the strongest yield numbers of any established Dubai community. A tower with this amenity profile in this location is going to attract tenants quickly.

Developer: Danube Properties
Location: Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC)
Floors: 38
Expected Completion: 2027

6. Franck Muller Aeternitas Tower, Dubai Marina

This is the tower that makes people stop mid-sentence when they first hear the concept.

A collaboration between developer London Gate and Franck Muller — the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer famous for producing some of the most intricate timepieces in the world — the Aeternitas Tower takes its design language directly from the brand’s landmark Aeternitas watch. The result is a 60,000 square metre facade of extraordinary complexity, rising approximately 450 metres above Dubai Marina.

Inside, the tower contains 649 branded residences ranging from one-bedroom apartments through to mansion-scale duplex units. Expected to open in 2027, the Franck Muller Aeternitas Tower joins the Cavalli Tower, the Mercedes-Benz Places and the Bugatti Residences in the growing portfolio of genuinely iconic branded residences in Dubai that are attracting HNW buyers from Europe, Asia and the Americas.

Developer: London Gate
Brand Partner: Franck Muller
Location: Dubai Marina
Height: Approximately 450 metres
Units: 649 branded residences, 1-bedroom to mansion duplex
Expected Completion: 2027

7. Pininfarina ICON Tower, Internet City

Most people know Pininfarina as the Italian design house responsible for the shape of Ferrari. What fewer people know is that Pininfarina is now designing its first ever branded residential tower — and it is being built in Dubai.

Located in Internet City, the 66-floor ICON Tower carries the name and design philosophy of one of the most celebrated automotive design studios in history. The building’s aesthetic is described as wind-sculpted — a flowing, aerodynamic form that is immediately distinguishable from the standard glass box towers that populate much of Dubai’s skyline.

310 apartments across 66 floors, with an adult pool, a lounge bar and a spa as the headline amenities. Internet City is directly adjacent to Barsha Heights and the Media City free zone cluster, meaning residents here are within walking distance of one of Dubai’s largest employment hubs.

Expected completion is 2027.

Developer: Pininfarina (first branded residential project)
Location: Internet City, Dubai
Floors: 66
Units: 310 apartments
Expected Completion: 2027

8. Rixos Financial Centre Road Residences, Downtown Dubai

The Rixos name is associated with premium all-inclusive hospitality across the region. The Financial Centre Road Residences bring that brand into the residential sector with a tower that will stand 345 metres tall across 84 floors — positioning it as one of the tallest dedicated residential buildings in the world.

The location says everything. Overlooking Downtown Dubai from Financial Centre Road, residents will have direct sightlines to the Burj Khalifa district, the Dubai Fountain, and the Downtown skyline that remains the most globally recognised address in the UAE.

The amenity offering extends well beyond the standard fitness suite: full fitness facilities, a kids club, running tracks, yoga studios and a golf simulation room are all confirmed. The project generated over one billion dirhams in sales within a single day of launch — making it one of the fastest selling residential launches in Dubai’s recent history.

For investors watching Dubai’s luxury and branded residence segment, that kind of launch day absorption is a significant market signal.

Developer: Rixos and associated development partner
Location: Financial Centre Road, Downtown Dubai
Height: 345 metres, 84 floors

9. Six Senses Residences, Dubai Marina

Six Senses Dubai Marina has just been announced and it is immediately making waves.

The tower is expected to be the world’s tallest residential building when completed, standing well above Marina 101 at 425 metres and Princess Tower at 414 metres. With 122 floors and 251 luxury apartments, the scale is extraordinary — but what sets Six Senses apart from every other luxury tower on this list is its positioning around wellness as the core design principle.

Six Senses is a global hospitality brand built entirely around health, wellbeing and mindful living. The residential tower extends that philosophy into private home design: a crystal sound healing room, a 25-metre lap pool, spa facilities and wellness-oriented programming built into the lifestyle offering.

For buyers who want more than a luxury address — who want a home designed around how they actually want to live — Six Senses Dubai Marina will be in a category of its own.

Expected completion is 2028.

Developer: Select Group
Brand Partner: Six Senses
Location: Dubai Marina
Floors: 122
Units: 251 luxury apartments
Expected Completion: 2028

10. Trump International Hotel and Tower, Sheikh Zayed Road

In collaboration with Dar Global, the Trump International Hotel and Tower on Sheikh Zayed Road brings one of the world’s most recognisable real estate brand names to Dubai’s Financial District corridor.

Standing 350 metres tall and located next to the Shangri-La Hotel near the Financial Metro station, the building combines exclusive hotel suites with private residential units — giving buyers the choice between investing in a hotel managed asset or owning a private residence within a fully serviced tower.

The flagship amenities include private lounges, an exclusive members-only club and two crown penthouses at the top of the building, each with its own private sky pool. An additional pool serves the broader residential community. The interior design is inspired directly by the Trump Tower penthouse on Fifth Avenue in New York.

For investors looking at the Sheikh Zayed Road corridor — which connects DIFC, Financial Centre Road and Downtown Dubai — this location has strong fundamentals for both long-term capital appreciation and premium short-term rental returns.

Developer: Dar Global
Brand Partner: Trump Organization
Location: Sheikh Zayed Road, next to Shangri-La Hotel
Height: 350 metres

What These Towers Mean for Dubai Property Investors

Ten extraordinary buildings. Each one a statement about where Dubai is heading and what kind of city it intends to be.

For property investors, these developments tell a clear story: developer confidence in Dubai’s long-term trajectory is not slowing down. Capital continues to flow into ambitious, premium, globally relevant projects. The communities surrounding these towers — Business Bay, Dubai Marina, JVC, Downtown Dubai, Internet City, Creek Harbour — are being elevated by their proximity to future landmarks.

The smart investor move is not to wait until these buildings open and the prices reflect their completed status. It is to understand the communities they are being built in, and to identify the right entry points in those communities today.
