Como Residences is a 75‑storey tower on Palm Jumeirah that will contain only 76 residential units, making it the tallest and one of the most exclusive ultra‑prime projects on the island.
Limited unit mix
- Total units: 76 across 75 floors
- Types: 2‑ to 6‑bedroom apartments, 7‑bedroom duplexes, and a single 5‑bedroom duplex penthouse
- Floor‑to‑unit ratio: Approximately one unit per floor, emphasizing privacy and exclusivity
Size and pricing
- Launch price: Starts around AED 33 million (≈ USD 9 million) for the smallest apartments
- Floor area: 4,470 sq ft – 21,949 sq ft, comparable in scale to standalone villas rather than typical high‑rise apartments
Payment structure
- Deposit: 20 % at booking
- Construction phase: 60 % spread over the build period
- Handover: Remaining 20 % due on completion
This plan is more front‑loaded than many competing ultra‑prime launches, requiring buyers to allocate the majority of capital before the handover date.
Handover timeline
- Expected completion: Q3 2027, providing a multi‑year construction window typical for a super‑tall residential tower.
Amenities
- Valet parking and concierge service
- Paddle‑tennis and squash courts
- Fully equipped gym and spa
- Private beach access with a dedicated lap pool
- Children’s play areas
- Café and lounge facilities
The amenity package is designed for a very small resident base, offering a private‑club experience rather than the high‑density communal facilities found in larger towers.
Significance of height and scarcity
- The combination of 75 stories and only 76 units yields one of the lowest units‑per‑floor ratios on Palm Jumeirah.
- Fewer comparable units in the resale market may enhance privacy and could affect long‑term liquidity positively, especially given Nakheel’s reputation as the master developer of the island.
Position within Palm Jumeirah’s pipeline
- Como Residences sits at the architecturally ambitious end of the current Palm Jumeirah market, which includes several other branded ultra‑luxury launches.
- Prospective buyers should compare height, tower positioning, unit scarcity, payment terms, and handover dates across projects rather than evaluating this development in isolation.
Structuring a purchase at this scale
- Acquisitions at this price level often involve decisions about ownership structure (personal, corporate, DIFC or ADGM entity).
- A qualifying UAE property purchase may also have residency implications, which should be addressed early in the buying process.
The information above reflects developer‑reported pricing, payment terms, and completion dates at the time of writing and may be subject to change. Prospective buyers should verify current details directly with Nakheel.
