Dubai Holding Real Estate member Nakheel has awarded a Dh1.8bn ($186.09m) contract to ALEC Engineering & Contracting for the construction of Como Residences on Palm Jumeirah in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Handover of the property is scheduled for the second quarter (Q2) of 2028, according to a press release on Zawya.

The 75-storey Como Residences will stand over 300m tall and offer a selection of 81 residences, ranging from two- to seven-bedroom apartments, including a duplex penthouse.  

Each floor will house a maximum of two apartments. 

The design of Como Residences ensures that every apartment offers a 180-degree view of the sea and city skyline.  

Those situated from the 23rd level upwards will have access to a 360-degree view, stretching from Jumeirah Burj Al Arab in the east to Ain Dubai in the west.  

Residents of Como Residences will have access to private sandy beaches and a variety of water-based amenities.  

Most floors of the tower will feature both communal and private pools. 

The development will also include a rooftop infinity pool and an observation deck on the 75th floor. 

Other amenities will include private parking, an on-site spa, a gym, green spaces, and children’s play areas.  

Additionally, Como Residences will feature a grand entrance and main lobby, with valet and concierge services. 

ALEC Engineering & Contracting CEO Barry Lewis said: “With its curated amenities and opulent finishes that will rival those of even the most luxurious properties, Como Residences promises to stand apart as the pinnacle of urban living.  

“We are pleased that Dubai Holding Real Estate is entrusting this iconic project to us. I am confident that given our track record of executing some of the most ambitious projects in the region, we will be able to deliver a tower that will further elevate Dubai’s world-renowned city skyline.” 

In May this year, Nakheel awarded infrastructure contracts for the next phase of development at Palm Jebel Ali in the UAE.
