SOL Properties has commenced the construction of Fairmont Residences Solara Tower Dubai, a luxury residential project in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). 

Under the Fairmont Hotels & Resorts brand, part of the Accor group, the development aligns with the UAE’s Green Agenda 2030, according to a press release on Zawya.  

Fairmont Residences Solara Tower Dubai is set to feature energy-efficient technologies and sustainably sourced materials.  

The use of post-tension slabs is expected to reduce material costs and increase structural integrity.  

Additionally, the project incorporates prefabricated steel structural components to expedite on-site assembly, improve precision, and reduce environmental impact by minimising power usage and waste. 

Design elements such as self-shading balconies are integrated into the tower to diminish reliance on air conditioning and electric lighting, aiming to lower utility costs and carbon footprint.  

SOL Properties founder and CEO Ajay Bhatia said: “We, at SOL Properties, strive to elevate UAE residents’ quality of life by synergising luxury and sustainability.

"In recent years, we have witnessed remarkable growth in the demand for sustainable luxury residences within the UAE as luxury homebuyers are increasingly seeking residences that align with their environmental values without compromising on comfort and design.  

“Hence, we remain committed to catering to the evolving demands of our clients by employing innovative designs and eco-friendly practices that enhance the luxury living experience.” 

The construction process will use building information modelling to optimise the project's efficiency.  

This approach leverages software and hardware technologies to streamline design, planning, and coordination, thereby reducing errors, improving project management, and maintaining sustainable building standards. 

The site's private units and communal areas will have low-maintenance green spaces. 

Moreover, smart energy management systems and water-efficient fixtures will be included in the design. 

Completion is expected by the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2027.
