The Pentominium is a supertall skyscraper currently under construction in the city of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.[5] When completed, the residential tower will be 516 m (1,693 ft) tall, with 122 floors above ground. It was designed by architects Aedas and funded by Trident International Holdings. The AED 1.46 billion (US$400 million) construction contract was awarded to Arabian Construction Company (ACC).[6] The Pentominium has one of the deepest excavations done in the world, performed by Swissboring Overseas Piling Corp.[7]
Construction commenced on 26 July 2009 and the building is expected to be completed in 2013.[4] As of May 2011, 22 floors have been completed. When completed, Pentominium will become the second tallest building in Dubai after Burj Khalifa, and one of the tallest buildings in the world. In August, 2011 construction stopped on Pentominium.
Projected residential height
The Pentominium will be the tallest all-residential building in the world upon completion and it currently has the highest projected height of any residential building under construction.[4]
The project management contract has been awarded to the project management firm Precipio.[8].
Apartments and design
The word Pentominium is a portmanteau of the words penthouse and condominium.[9] Each residential floor will have just one 4-bedroom apartment of over 600 square metres (6,500 sq ft).[9][10] Amenities available to residents include a swimming pool, an observation deck, a private cinema, a health club and a banqueting hall, along with a cigar lounge and a business centre.[9]
