GUINNESS World Records has recognised UAE-based Tameer’s Princess Tower standing at 414 m as the world’s tallest residential building.

The tower, located at the prestigious Dubai Marina development, stands a staggering 107 storeys tall and encompasses six basement floors, a ground floor, 100 above-ground levels and eight retail stores.

It occupies a land area of 37,410 sq ft, housing 763 luxury apartments, including one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments in addition to penthouse apartments overlooking Palm Jumeirah.

“This is one instance when saying we feel on top of the world is completely justified,” said Federico Tauber, the president of Tameer.

“This is a very proud moment for Tameer and for the city of Dubai, which now holds the twin distinction of being home to the world’s tallest building and the world’s tallest residential building,” he remarked.
