Apartments and design
The word 'Pentominium' is a portmanteau of penthouse and condominium. Each living space will have its own foyer and smart biometric access control. Every apartment will consist of either a complete or half of a floor in the building (more than 600 m²).
According to Trident, the design aim is to provide the most luxurious apartments in the world, with each residence having access to a 24 hour per day butler service. Trident have also secured deals with external companies to ensure owners can make use of a Rolls Royce or high-end sports car of their choice, and sailing trips on luxury yachts over the Persian Gulf.
The top floors of the Pentominium will contain a Sky Lounge, Sky Pool, Business Centre, and a private observation deck along with ladies & gentleman's health clubs and a cigar lounge, squash courts, a banqueting hall, and private theatre.
Each individual residential unit will take up a complete floor of the tower providing over 6,500 sq ft (600 m2). of living space.
