UAE-based real estate developer, Select Group, has acquired the stalled development in Dubai Marina, previously known as the Pentominium Tower. The high-rise residence is in Dubai Marina, near Palm Jumeirah, Emaar Beachfront, and JBR. Once completed, it will stand as the world's tallest residential high-rise tower. The company see this acquisition as a historic and important achievement.
A TOWER OF ARCHITECTURAL ASPIRATION
In 2007, the idea for the Pentominium Tower, a symbol of huge architectural ambition, was born. But, the 2008 global financial downturn paused its progress. Recently, through Dubai Courts and Emirates Auction, the project went up for auction. Select Group secured the development with a $100 million bid in a competitive process of 46 bids.
