DAMAC Residenze, formerly named DAMAC Heights and Ocean Heights 2, is an 85-storey, 335 m (1,099 ft), supertall skyscraper in Dubai Marina, Dubai.[2] It is the second supertall project by DAMAC Properties, the first being Ocean Heights, which is also located in Dubai Marina. The building overlooks the Palm Jumeirah. DAMAC Heights will become one of the tallest buildings in Dubai and the fifth-tallest residential building in the world, surpassed only by Pentominium, World One, and Marina 101, and Princess Tower.
As of February 2013, the foundation work of DAMAC Heights is in progress, while the piling has already been completed.[4][1]
Architecture and design[]
Damac Heights is located in the upper part of the marina, the most populated district of Dubai Marina containing 9 skyscrapers and about 10 between 200 m and 300 m. The design incorporates elements that increase the field of view giving the impression of a larger space between the DAMAC and the other towers. According to the architects, Aedas, the curvature of the tower is crucial to provide views of the largest number of apartments possible.
The tower was planned to be 420 m (1,378 ft) high, but its height was reduced to 335 m (1,099 ft) in February 2013.[5]
The building topped out in September 2016.
