THE Dubai skyline is set to undergo a major change with two new skyscrapers due to be built which will be connected by an exclusive sky pool.

Regent Residences Dubai will be made up of two 591ft skyscrapers with an apartment on each floor and will be topped with what architects call an “ultra-penthouse.”

The mammoth $1 billion project at the Marasi Marina is scheduled for completion in 2027.

It will have 60 luxury apartments measuring over 6,500 square feet, each with a balcony pool.

“Every apartment is orientated to offer panoramic views of the Burj Khalifa (the world’s tallest building) while capturing the city’s spectacular sunrises and sunsets,” architect firm Foster + Partners said.

But, the true gem of the project is the sprawling 35,000-square-foot penthouse.

This top-floor apartment will have six bedrooms, a gym, and a private elevator.

It will also have private use of the “sky pool” that connects both skyscrapers.

While residents of the other apartments will not have access to this luxury 43-foot infinity pool, they will be able to use the development’s 82-foot indoor lap pool as well as their own.

They will also have access to private dining spaces, a gym, and integrated stores at the bottom of the building and green space.

Also at the bottom of the luxury development are 10 floating residences that are being called “water villas.”

Water is a key inspiration behind the design of the building so it reflects its marina environment.

Gerard Evenden, Head of Studio, Foster + Partners, said: “Regent Residences Dubai, Sankari Place’s dynamic twisting form and articulated façade will make it a distinctive new addition to Business Bay and the wider city.

“Our design harnesses connections to nature, with generous shaded terraces and optimised views of the waterfront.”

“Each apartment benefits from a private pool, which also creates a unique articulated façade as water appears to cascade down the buildings,” the company added on its website.

Real estate company Sankari (which developed the project alongside IHG Hotels & Resorts) told CNN that the price of each apartment will start at $10 million.

The company chose not to reveal how much the ultra-penthouse would cost.

Regent Residences Dubai will not be the first complex in the city to place an infinity pool between two skyscrapers.

The world’s largest infinity pool can be found in The Link, the longest cantilever building in the world soaring above the city at 221 feet in the air.

But, it will cost up to £10,000 to take a dip in the daring sky pool with VIP cabanas with their own music system, air conditioning, bathrooms, dining rooms, and private garden.

The city was also due to get the world’s first spinning skyscraper with 80 rotating floors which was set to open in 2020.

Architect David Fisher designed a 1,273ft tower with 80 floors that would rotate 360 degrees in both directions.

No official announcement has been made on this project since it was quietly shelved in 2020.
