Dubai, known for its opulent skyline and luxurious residences, continues to be a global hub for high-end living. The city’s commitment to architectural innovation and cutting-edge design has now given rise to a groundbreaking collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and the UAE’s real-estate developer Binghatti Properties.
Mercedes-Benz Places | Binghatti
Mercedes-Benz unveiled an ambitious project named Mercedes-Benz Places | Binghatti at the Meydan Hotel in Dubai on Wednesday. Prices in the luxury building start from Dhs10 million. The project is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Set to break ground this year, this venture signifies the convergence of automotive and architecture in a unique manner. The focal point of this collaboration is a 65-storey residential tower that aims to redefine luxury living in Dubai.
The tower is not just another high-rise structure, it is envisioned as a holistic and connected living space, reflecting the essence of luxury that Dubai is renowned for. The partnership between Mercedes-Benz and Binghatti Properties marks a significant step towards creating a seamlessly integrated living experience, where the worlds of automotive excellence and architectural sophistication converge.
As Dubai continues to evolve as a global symbol of luxury and modernity, $1 billion Mercedes-Benz Places | Binghatti project represents a noteworthy addition to the city’s landscape. This collaborative effort is set to contribute to Dubai’s reputation as a pioneer in pushing the boundaries of what is possible in both automotive and architectural realms.
Rising to 341 metres (1,118 feet), the hyper-tower is located in the heart of the city with uninterrupted views of the world-famous Burj Khalifa, in the prime location of Downtown Dubai.
Five luxury penthouses
Mercedes-Benz Places | Binghatti comprises 150 residences, featuring two- to four-bedroom units and five penthouses. Each residence is meticulously designed to enhance the distinct Mercedes-Benz brand experience. The tower incorporates three key elements: a core with horizontally structured balconies, an adjoining lamella structure with dynamic lines framing the entire tower, and a visually striking closed southern façade with functional cladding for shading and energy efficiency through integrated photovoltaics.
The integration of floor-to-ceiling glazing seamlessly blends the interior and exterior, creating a space that harmonizes architecture with nature. The building is constructed with the highest-quality components, fostering a minimalistic yet welcoming atmosphere that exudes both modernity and timelessness.
