About Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co Residences
Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co Residences comes from Binghatti, the same Business Bay developer behind Binghatti Skyrise, Binghatti Aquarise, Millennium Binghatti Residence, Trillionaire Residences and Binghatti Canal elsewhere in the district, but this tower is a different kind of project entirely. Announced in November 2022 as a collaboration with Jacob & Co, the Swiss watch and jewelry house known for its intricate clockwork and precision gem cutting, the building is designed around that heritage: its crown is a sculptural arrangement of diamond shaped spires, and the interiors and finishes are meant to echo the same craftsmanship. Planned at 557 metres across 104 floors above ground plus seven basement levels, the tower is aiming to become the world's tallest residential building, overtaking Central Park Tower in New York.
Inside, the building holds around 304 homes, a mix of two to seven bedroom apartments that runs up to full floor mansions and headline penthouses. Two flagship penthouses have been reported: a five bedroom Astronomia penthouse at around 11,807 square feet, and a seven bedroom Billionaire penthouse at around 22,469 square feet. Pricing is reported to start from around AED 9.2 million, with the top Sky Penthouse listed from roughly AED 175 million. It is worth being clear that this is a different project from Binghatti Skyrise, the developer's separate three tower, studio-heavy complex also on Marasi Drive: Skyrise is the larger, more accessible development with over 3,300 apartments, while Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co Residences is the single ultra-luxury spire chasing a world height record.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
The tower sits on Marasi Drive in Business Bay, close to the Dubai Water Canal, on the same stretch as several other Binghatti developments in the district. Downtown Dubai is roughly a 10 minute drive away, Business Bay Metro is roughly a 10 minute walk, with the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall metro station also within easy reach, and Dubai International Airport is roughly 15 minutes by car.
Nearby buildings Royale Stays also covers include Binghatti Skyrise, Millennium Binghatti Residence, and Binghatti Aquarise, other Binghatti-developed Business Bay towers Royale Stays manages.
Unit Types
Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co Residences is built around a small number of very large, very high-value homes rather than a typical Business Bay apartment mix. Units run from two bedrooms up through seven bedroom full-floor mansions and penthouses, with roughly 304 homes in total across the tower. The two named flagship units reported so far are a five bedroom Astronomia penthouse at around 11,807 square feet and a seven bedroom Billionaire penthouse at around 22,469 square feet, both sized closer to a private estate than a typical apartment. Exact unit counts by bedroom size have not been independently confirmed across sources, so this guide describes the mix by range rather than a precise breakdown.
Amenities
Reported amenities include a private event area, a three floor health club, private chef service, an infinity swimming pool, a lobby lounge, a children's play area and a gym. Given the building's positioning as a co-branded ultra-luxury address, the amenity offer leans toward private, concierge-style services rather than the shared pool-and-gym package typical of a standard Business Bay tower.
Transportation & Access
Business Bay Metro is roughly a 10 minute walk, with the Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall metro station also nearby, giving future residents two stations within easy reach without a car. Downtown Dubai is roughly a 10 minute drive, Dubai International Airport is roughly 15 minutes, and Al Maktoum International is roughly 35 minutes.
Rental & Price Trends
Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co Residences has not yet been handed over, so there is no building-specific rental history to report and this guide does not invent one. As a general steer, Business Bay overall currently blends to roughly AED 473 a night and 88 percent occupancy for one bedroom units, AED 801 a night at similar occupancy for two bedrooms, and AED 1,212 a night for three bedrooms, based on Royale Stays' own portfolio data across the area. This tower's four to seven bedroom full-floor mansions and penthouses sit well above and outside this typical range, and there is no comparable area-wide benchmark for homes at this scale in Business Bay today. These figures are area-blended benchmarks for the district's more typical apartment stock, not a promise for any specific unit at this tower.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co Residences is currently under construction, with reported completion targets ranging from 2026 to 2027 across different sources and no single settled handover date, so there is no current Airbnb or Booking.com listing activity inside the building to point to and no operating history to draw on. This is a timing issue, not a permit issue: the Jacob & Co partnership is a design and branding collaboration with a Swiss watch and jewelry house, not a hotel operator, so this is a standard freehold residential development with no hospitality brand restriction attached.
Once units are handed over, owners will be able to apply for a DTCM holiday home permit in the normal way, the same route already used across Business Bay towers Royale Stays manages today. Royale Stays handles furnishing, photography, pricing optimisation, check in, guest communications and maintenance coordination, with management fees starting from 15%, and is happy to talk to owners here ahead of handover so a unit is ready to list from day one.
No confirmed direct STR listing was found for this specific tower during research, since it has not yet been handed over; Business Bay's own strong demand profile is used above as context, not a building-specific claim.
