Armani Beach Residence

Armani Beach Residence on Palm Jumeirah is a single residential tower developed by Arada, comprising 24 apartments designed in collaboration between Giorgio Armani and Japanese architect Tadao Ando. Priced from AED 23 million, with completion scheduled for December 2026, it sits at the upper boundary of Dubai's residential market by almost any measure.

# The tower and its position on the frond

Palm Jumeirah is not a uniform address. Position on the trunk, the fronds, or the crescent produces meaningfully different orientations, neighbours, and views. Armani Beach Residence occupies a seafront plot, with aspects across the Arabian Gulf as well as back towards the Dubai skyline. The building is the product of a collaboration between Armani and Ando that spans more than two decades, and this is documented as their first joint residential project. Ando's architectural sensibility, characterised by raw concrete, precision geometry, and a studied relationship between light and water, gives the structure a sculptural restraint that distinguishes it from the more decorative towers elsewhere on the island. At just 24 residences across one building, the project operates at a density closer to a private house than a conventional apartment block.

# Residences: layouts, scale and interior specification

Apartments range from two-bedroom units starting at approximately 2,623 sq ft to a five-bedroom residence of 31,680 sq ft priced at AED 348.5 million. That uppermost unit is, by size, more comparable to a large villa than a conventional apartment. Two-bedroom layouts begin at AED 23 million and extend to AED 27 million depending on configuration; three-bedroom units run from AED 38 million to AED 46 million; four-bedroom residences from AED 51 million to AED 60 million; and five-bedroom apartments from AED 67.5 million.

All residences are delivered semi-furnished, with kitchens and bathrooms specified throughout using Armani/Casa fittings. Buyers select between a light or dark design palette, with joinery, cabinetry, wallcoverings and hardware drawn from coordinated Armani/Casa collections accordingly. Living areas reach a minimum ceiling height of three metres. Each apartment incorporates a circular or linear foyer, an Armani design signature that separates the private quarters from the entrance sequence.

Closed kitchens are equipped with an oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine. The bathroom specification draws from the Armani/Casa Island Collection across all units.

# Amenities within the building

The resident amenity programme is contained within the building rather than distributed across a wider community. It includes a large-scale infinity pool, a separate children's pool, and an indoor swimming pool, alongside a lushly landscaped deck area and private beach. For recovery and wellness, there is a sauna and ice-bath facility, as well as a gym. Communal social spaces extend to a cigar lounge, a movie theatre, and a children's playroom.

The service charge is set at AED 35 per sq ft annually.

# Palm Jumeirah as a residential address

Palm Jumeirah functions as a self-contained community with its own retail, dining, and hotel infrastructure, including the Atlantis resort at the crescent. Road access connects to Sheikh Zayed Road via the Palm Monorail interchange and the tunnel at the base of the trunk, placing Downtown Dubai within a reasonable drive. The address carries strong name recognition among international buyers, which tends to support both occupier demand and resale liquidity at the top of the market.

# Who this project is built for

At 24 units, Armani Beach Residence is less an apartment building than a very small private collection. The price range, the brand architecture, and the scale all point to a buyer who is not rationalising yield but acquiring a principal or secondary residence with a clear sense of authorship behind every material choice. For European or Asian buyers seeking a Dubai holding that carries cultural credibility beyond the city's own market narrative, the Armani-Ando collaboration provides exactly that framing. Construction stood at 7.23% completion as of the available data, with delivery targeted at the end of 2026.
