The Pentonium in Dubai will become the world's tallest residential tower
Plans for the world’s tallest residential tower - the Pentonium in Dubai - have been unveiled today.

Trident International Holdings has partnered to create unique alliances with premium brands from across the world for its new 516 metre-tall tower, a development they describe as the 'defined height of luxury'.

The top floors of this world’s only Pentominium will contain a Sky Lounge, Sky Pool, Business Centre and a private observation deck along with ladies & gentleman’s health clubs and a cigar lounge, squash courts, a banqueting hall and private theatre.

Each individual residential unit will take up a complete floor of the tower providing over 6500 sq.ft. of living space.

Each floor will have a private foyer of its own and smart biometric access control.

Taking the element of luxury living spaces to another level are entire floors which are uniquely suspended in mid air, giving the impression of floating penthouses in the sky.

“Our aim is to create the new benchmark in luxury living,” said Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Wazir Ali Daredia.

“This aim is reflected in all our projects and is what differentiates Trident and its projects. Through the alliances we have partnered with for Pentominium, along with the uniqueness of this proposition, we will achieve this.

“The building will be iconic, and its residents exclusive. They will be living in a piece of history.

“Trident’s strategy has always been to offer innovative luxury features combined with premium waterfront location, and the Pentominium development is the very expression of this.”

Trident is positioned and acknowledged internationally as a boutique developer of successful and highly visible residential towers in Dubai, including Marinascape, Bayside Residence and the Trident Grand Residence.
Like Trident’s other projects, Pentominium will be no more than 500 metres from the waterfront at Dubai marina; the centrepiece of new Dubai.

Daredia added: “Our background in luxury goods demonstrates our precision and finesse, our understanding of true opulence. We do not sell towers, we provide a lifestyle.”

Pentominium is being designed by award winning and world renowned architects and designers Aedas. Based in Britain, with offices around the world Aedas is responsible for a number of striking buildings and developments in Dubai and across the Gulf already.

Interior design of Pentominium will be undertaken by Hirsch Bedner & Associates, exclusive designers of Ritz Carltons, Grand Hyatts & Four Seasons worldwide.

There will be a dedicated Concierge Service by Quintessentially, the international private members club, which will be available 24 hours a day to meet residents’ needs whether locally or across the world.

Through a series of unique alliances Pentominium owners will have the rights to use a fleet of premium automobiles including a Rolls-Royce Phantom that comes as part of the Pentominium experience along with world renowned Azimut yachts for leisurely trips across the Arabian Gulf.

The tower’s spa will be run by Six Senses Spas, the operators of a number of premium world class health resorts around the world including the multi-award winning Soneva Fushi in the Maldives, itself one of the top 10 spas in the world according to Forbes.

All public areas will be crystallized by Swarovski and each Pentominium unit will be fitted with state of the art sound equipment Bang & Olufsen can provide.

Pentominium’s business lounge (overlooking The Palm) will be accessorized by exclusive Tiffany accessories.

This one's actually likely to be built too since the company have a good reputation, unlike ocean heights 2 which is being built by damac

That is quite pretty.

Holland. Tulips.

nice

each apt is a whole floor!! Thats nice. I could have a 1 floor mansion 1400 feet in the air. very nice

Why am I not surprised?

However, I am still amazed and baffled, in a good way.

Where is the demand for such megatowers coming from? Dubai is building like half a dozen buildings the size of the Freedom Tower as if it was a joke. What people need this, Dubai only has a million plus population! :uhh: :???: :dissy: :no: :eeekk:

Slick building, stupid name, dunno what the hell LA is doing in there...

http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/4402/70232238ct1.jpg

Put another one up for Dubai. And that brings us to 34 1000 footers!

Santiago Calatrava would like to have a word with you.

:haha: good find.

The word PROPOSED would like to have a word with you.

?

Chicago Spire is just as proposed as Pentonium.

Just to tell you this thing isn't being proposed by emaar or someone else with bottomless pockets. They'll have to sell this if they want to get it built, same as any other tower in the marina.

That is not a bad looking tower. Plus the views would be incredible at night.

^^ Only if you're above the 80th floor since it's crammed in there with another 10 massive towers:

http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/9...inamap2rt0.jpg

BTW, the name is PENTOMINIUM, so please change the title.

Why would they make a rendering with L.A. in the background, especially since Dubai has enough of it's own towers to appear in the background.

Plus I imagine it would be a pain every time the fire bell rings and everyone has to stand outside!

I like the way it has 7 setbacks on the side of it
And which plot is the Pentonium in the big marina picture?

This is one of the better buildings all-around that Ive seen in Dubai, not to mention the new level of luxury is ridiculous. My only problem is that the building will not stand out as much as it would in any other city, or in some other part of the Dubai Marina, or something. It will be surrounded by towers, and about 8 of them are supertalls, and of those, I think there are 4 that are only 300 or less feet shorter. So not only will it not stand out as much, but I'd assume views of the water would be somewhat inhibited.

that other render that Malec posted above looks like they stuck Singapore in the background.
this was the closest angle, that distant tower is lit up but below is not, but it does look like SG

Notgoingtobebuiltonium. This just doesn't seem very feasible as planned, even for Dubai. They are shooting for about a 10-12 slenderness ratio on this building (which in itself is not economical (look what happened to the old Chicago Spire design)) from what I can tell by the renderings. To further complicate the economic feasibility of this, they have only all units that take up an entire floor? I suppose with fewer people they can possibly eliminate some elevators, needing less core.. but that only helps so much. I actually really like the design, but I predict this one doesn't go...

^^ That's what I'm thinking. Plus there's not much of a market left for this type of tower.

Where the hell are all these residents coming from? Will it be occupied by mostly absentee foreigners?

maybe we'll all be able to pick up an extra residence there for cheap some day


I suppose some of those imported laborers could eventually live in some of these places. It would probably be better to sell some of the units in some buildings for little money rather than nothing.

Yes! This'll probably be used mostly as 2nd homes for people so you won't see all the lights on at the same time

This was my thought. They'd just about have to be. There could feasibly be a market for this sort of thing if enough wealthy foreigners were to take a "second home" in Dubai.

Edit: lol, Malec beat me to it.

Where on this map is the pentominium supposed to stand?

They are really hurthing themselves by putting those super talls that close. The location in distance is diminishing the signifcance of height adding to the skyline. Of course though it is up to the developers who are competing for the business (the wealthy foreigners), (who most likely don't exist). Smart business, stupid urban planning.

As for as the building itself: you know to me its just another typical Dubai residential highrise. Anywhere else, I'd be more enthusiastic towards this, but these buildings are just so common here its not even amusing anymore.
Will it get built (I'm 50/50). Who will occupy (I think they will make cardboard cut-outs of people dressed like the monopoly guy to fill the units).
I'm not paying for it, so what the hell, you got my all for to build. :tup:

The plot that says trident tower. It could also be on the one to the left of that or maybe even both!

Thing is, those ? plots will probably also be 100 floor towers. Not only is does this close proximity block everyone's view, cause major traffic, and massive wind tunnels but is also a massive fire hazard.

^^^^ The concept of safety to the Saudi Royal Family when it comes to skyscrapers in Dubai is long gone. I don't think they even "exit" signs in their buildings......

what are those huge gills on the side of the building for?!?!?!

What the Saudi Royal Family has to do with Dubai's skyscrapers???? :rolleyes:


... and there are EXIT signs everywhere, propably even more of what you see where do you live. My apartment even came with a fire distinguesher on it, while pipe hoses are on every floor.

^^^^^^^^ Its called being sarcastic, lighten up!

Pentominium sounds too much like Pandemonium.

A massive render I got. I asked to get some floorplans and more info and now I have them :)
I'll start to make a sketchup model of this soon.

A clear element of LA in here :)

:previous:

Wow. They used LA's skyline in that render. And Singapore's skyline in the render below (notice the 2 tall buildings in the background to the right):

http://img390.imageshack.us/img390/7135/pentosw9.jpg

Way to go Dubai.:rolleyes:

^They'll rent out the units ;)

:whip: :( :whip: :( Seeing as how the average wage for a skilled carpenter working on the Burj Dubai is around $7.60 *per day* and laborers "earn" $4.00 *per day* (according to Wikipedia), they better have a very creative mortgage financing scheme in place.:whip: :( :whip: :(

the entire city is being marketed as a second home for people to spend several weeks a year. i can't imagine being in dubai when most major projects are complete. i can only imagine it would be a graveyard of behemoth ryugyong hotels. isn't it people that makes a city great? give me $5 mil and i'm off to punta del este or santorini or the like.

in a situation like this i'd like to say "i want to be proven wrong." but i don't. i want dubai to fail. spectacularly. then again, maybe it will draw away a lot of the chinese businessmen absentee-ing vancouver to death. but somehow i doubt that.

Usually if a proposal of 1000' or more were in a city, it would be the greatest thing ever. But in Dubai, adding another supertall to it would be ordinary news.

This is what puzzles me all the time.... No demand and no need so why so many towers are under construction ?
Are those people thinking of making Dubai a skyscraper junkyard ?:shrug:

Nice! 2 apartments per floor. This is by far my favorite tower proposal (architecturally) that I've seen thus far from Dubai. Sweet.

Who knows if it will get built...but I like it!

^^With so many other residential towers being built, the odds of this one may not be good. But, yes the design is better than Burj Dubai...

I like it but I don't like that Dubai is making 1000 footers unremarkable and no longer special. :(

Pentominium, Dubai

Pentominium is expected to become the most sought after
address in the world

The Pentominium project in Dubai will become the “Defined Height of Luxury”. Trident International Holdings has partnered with premium brands from across the world for its new project. It will be a true bouquet of luxury with the association of the likes of Swarovski, Tiffany & Co, Six Senses, Davidoff, Bang Olufsen and others, a first ever in a residential proposition.

In a city of superlatives, the 516 metre tall building and its 120 floors will overshadow every other residential development in the world. The building will be iconic, and its residents exceptionally exclusive. You will be living in a piece of history unique among the property for sale in Dubai.

Each Residence Spans an Entire Floor

Pentominium is a unique concept created through combining a penthouse with a luxury condominium, which means that each residence spans an entire floor.

The top floors of this world’s only Pentominium will contain a Sky Lounge, Sky Pool, Business Centre and a private observation deck along with ladies & gentleman’s health clubs and a cigar lounge, squash courts, a banqueting hall and private theatre.
