Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts has announced a record sales price for its lavish private residences at the soon-to-open resort destination Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab. Situated next door to the iconic Burj Al Arab, Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab is looking to revitalize the art of the resort destination by taking its inspiration from nautical glamor.
With the destination set to open in Q4 2023, the private sale in question featured four decadent penthouses and 17 luxury residences. The record-breaking sale was of the highest-floor penthouse, which sold for $115 million, an impressive $4,200 per square foot. This makes the apartment the most expensive that has ever been sold in Dubai, illustrating that the vast demand for luxury real estate in Dubai is showing no signs of slowing.
The gargantuan 27,000-sq-ft apartment has 13,000 square feet of outdoor living and of course, a private pool.
Katerina Giannouka, chief executive officer of Jumeirah Group, said: “Jumeirah is committed to expanding its portfolio of branded residences, to capture the growing demand for our unique living concepts and exceptional service standards. Our residences at Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab are clearly an attractive proposition for our investor audience and we are delighted to bring such unique residential concepts that redefine the art of luxury living to Dubai’s landscape.”
The Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab is impressive to say the least, boasting 387 rooms and suites, 82 residences, and a superyacht marina that offers 82 berths for yachts up to 61 meters. For yacht owners, this could pose the ultimate destination, situating luxury accommodations and restaurants in the heart of Dubai — as well as its own marina and direct access to the Persian Gulf and seas beyond.
