Princess Tower is a residential skyscraper in Dubai Marina by Tameer Holdings, designed by architect Adnan Saffarini. 101 storeys, 763 residences, fully handed over. The factsheet confirms a pool, gym, spa, kids' area and 24/7 security.
At completion in 2012 it was the tallest residential building anywhere — a title it held until 2020, when Central Park Tower in Manhattan overtook it. It remains the tallest building in the world used exclusively for housing.
In our own stock: an average price of AED 1,958 per square foot (~$535/ft²) across 1,952 sq ft — a mid-market rate for a record-holding address, which is the point worth sitting with.
Princess Tower sits below the district average of AED 2,588/ft² (~$705/ft²), in the same band as Marina Promenade and well behind Six Senses Residences at the top of the list. Height alone, it turns out, does not set the price.

A title like "world's tallest residential tower" is a marketing fact, not a scarcity one: nothing about it limits future supply, and once a taller building exists elsewhere the record itself stops circulating in buyer conversations. Central Park Tower took the title in 2020; six years on, it barely features in how Princess Tower is priced.
What does move the price inside this specific building is what moves it everywhere on the Marina strip: floor, side of the tower, and whether the view runs over the marina or into a neighbouring block. A record-holding address is still, first and last, a specific apartment on a specific floor.
For a buyer arriving with a mental price anchor from other "tallest tower" addresses — Manhattan, Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai — worth noting: Dubai's own record-holder trades at district-average rates, not a premium to them.
Princess Tower stands 414 metres tall. As of spring 2024 that made it Dubai's third-tallest building, after Burj Khalifa (828 m) and Marina 101 (425 m).
Construction cost has been estimated at around USD 210 million, about AED 770 million. The tower has an observation deck looking out over Burj Al Arab and the Gulf.
