Aeternitas

Aeternitas is a 106-floor residential tower at Dubai Marina, developed by London Gate in collaboration with Swiss watchmaker Franck Muller. The building rises to 450 metres and is currently under construction, with completion set for Q2 2027. Five residences remain available, priced from AED 9.7 million.

# A clock tower at 450 metres: the building and its position in Dubai Marina

The structure makes a specific claim on the skyline. At 450 metres and 106 floors, Aeternitas is positioned as the tallest branded residential tower in the world, and its clock face at the summit, rendered with Franck Muller's characteristic oversized numerals in varying sizes, gives it an identity that most towers in the marina lack. The angular form at the crown is deliberate, drawn from the watchmaker's design language rather than imposed by architectural convention.

Dubai Marina itself is a three-kilometre canal district dense with high-rise residential buildings, waterfront promenading and a concentration of dining and retail. Within that setting, a 450-metre tower reads differently from the neighbourhood's typical 60-to-80-floor stock. It sits at the upper register of Dubai's skyline rather than within it.

Construction is 44.64 per cent complete as of current data, with an escrow account (019500000421) registered under Dubai Land Department.

# Four and five-bedroom residences across a narrow release

The available inventory is deliberately small. Five units are on sale, all either four or five bedrooms, with no sub-floor configurations or studio-to-two-bedroom options complicating the buyer profile.

# Sizes and pricing

Four-bedroom layouts run from approximately 2,723 square feet to 2,937 square feet, priced at AED 9.7 million and AED 10.8 million respectively. The five-bedroom units are larger, at around 4,048 to 4,067 square feet, and are listed at AED 18.9 million each.

The developer's reference material points to Villeroy and Boch throughout the bathrooms, from sanitaryware to taps and accessories, and Bosch appliances in the kitchen. Natural marble is specified in both wet areas and kitchen surfaces. Residences are delivered unfurnished, which gives buyers latitude on interiors while the base specification handles the fixed finishes. Service charges are set at AED 18 per square foot annually.

# Amenities: a full-floor programme, not a shared podium afterthought

The amenity list at Aeternitas is notably broad given the building's boutique unit count. Residents have access to a dedicated gym called The London Gym, The London Spa, sauna rooms, a jacuzzi, swimming pool, padel court and yoga studio. The leisure offer extends further: a cinema, music room, library, cigar lounge, billiards and ping pong room, party hall and a kids' play area.

For a release of five units, the ratio of amenity space to residents is high. Whether that concentration is a function of the broader building's full-floor amenity programme serving a larger owner base across all floors is worth clarifying with the sales team directly.

# Dubai Marina: the locational case

Dubai Marina's fundamentals are straightforward. The district borders Jumeirah Beach Residence, sits within reach of Sheikh Zayed Road, and connects to the Dubai Metro via the Dubai Marina and DAMAC Properties stations on the Red Line. The marina walk functions as a daily promenade rather than a weekend destination, with cafes, restaurants and boat berths along the canal edge.

For international buyers, the area's long-term liquidity is a relevant data point: it remains one of Dubai's most consistently traded submarkets, which matters for investors and for owner-occupiers who may eventually look to exit.

# Who Aeternitas is actually for

The five available units suggest a specific buyer: someone purchasing at the upper end of Dubai Marina's residential market, willing to commit to an off-plan asset with a mid-2027 delivery date and a 44 per cent construction progress figure that provides reasonable confidence in the timeline.

The Franck Muller branding is the differentiator here. For buyers from the UK, Europe or Asia who are familiar with the watchmaker and attentive to provenance in design, the collaboration carries weight beyond a name on a facade. For GCC buyers already active in Dubai Marina, the scale and specificity of the building offers a clear positional argument within an otherwise crowded skyline. At AED 9.7 million for a 2,723-square-foot four-bedroom, the pricing per square foot sits above the marina's mid-market average, which is consistent with the branded-residential premium seen across comparable developments in the city.
