From ultra-luxury branded residences to record-breaking observation decks, here are nine upcoming Dubai skyscrapers set to redefine the city between 2026 and 2030.

1. Sobha SkyParks

Approximate height: 450 metres Number of floors: 109

Rising along Sheikh Zayed Road, Sobha SkyParks is set to become the tallest tower in Sobha Realty's portfolio and one of the UAE's five tallest buildings. The standout feature? Four themed SkyParks, each spanning six storeys and offering indoor and outdoor wellness and leisure experiences.

Topping it all off is a resort-style infinity pool deck with floating beds and uninterrupted skyline views, making this skyscraper as much about lifestyle as it is about height.

2. Corinthia Tower

Approximate height: 500 metres Number of floors: 102 Opening: 2029

Corinthia Tower brings the legendary hospitality brand's Mediterranean elegance to Dubai's futuristic skyline. Located on Sheikh Zayed Road, the dual-tower development will house luxury residences, five panoramic dining venues, rooftop pools, and a next-generation wellness spa.

Known for its iconic properties in London, Malta and Brussels, Corinthia's Dubai debut promises refined luxury with sweeping city views.

3. Habtoor Tower

Approximate height: 450 metres Number of floors: 82

Located in Al Habtoor City beside the Dubai Water Canal, Habtoor Tower is steadily taking shape as a striking new addition to the skyline. Just minutes from Downtown Dubai, the tower will feature premium residential units, with strong buyer demand already evident — two-bedroom apartments are reportedly sold out.

Construction is expected to complete by Q3 2026.

4. Muraba Veil

Approximate height: 380 metres Number of floors: 76

One of Dubai's most architecturally daring projects, Muraba Veil is designed to be among the world's thinnest residential towers. Located along the Dubai Water Canal, the tower will be just one apartment wide, measuring only 22.5 metres across.

With around 131 luxury units ranging from two- to five-bedroom residences, Muraba Veil is set to become a true architectural icon.

5. Franck Muller Aeternitas Tower

Approximate height: 450 metres Number of floors: 106

Dubai's first-ever residential clock tower, the Franck Muller Aeternitas Tower is a collaboration between Swiss luxury watchmaker Franck Muller and developer London Gate. Rising in Dubai Marina, the tower blends horological artistry with ultra-luxury living.

The development is expected to hand over by 2026, adding a distinctive timepiece-inspired silhouette to the skyline.

6. Six Senses Residences Dubai Marina

Approximate height: 517 metres Number of floors: 122 Completion: July 2028

Wellness-focused luxury brand Six Senses is bringing its holistic living philosophy to the skies of Dubai Marina. This residential-only tower will feature 251 homes designed around wellness, sustainability and mindful living.

From design and interiors to community spaces, every detail aims to promote balance and well-being, with prices starting from AED 5.8 million.

7. Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co Residences

Approximate height: 595 metres Number of floors: 103

A bold collaboration between luxury jeweller Jacob & Co and Binghatti Developers, Burj Binghatti is set to be one of Dubai's most glamorous towers. Located in Business Bay, it will offer high-end residences, infinity pools and elite concierge services — including private chefs and chauffeurs.

Expect architecture with serious sparkle.

8. Burj Azizi — The World's Second-Tallest Tower

Approximate height: 725 metres Number of floors: 133 Expected completion: 2028

Poised to become one of the tallest buildings in the world, Burj Azizi is designed as a vertical city. The USD 1.5 billion tower will include residences, hotels, entertainment zones and a luxury mall.

Highlights include:

- The world's highest observation deck - The world's highest nightclub - The world's highest restaurant - A seven-star all-suite hotel inspired by seven global cultures

Yes — this one is aiming straight for the record books.

9. Dubai Creek Tower

Approximate height: Taller than 828 metres (as per Emaar) Status: Redesigned concept pending

Originally envisioned as Dubai's next global landmark, Dubai Creek Tower was set to surpass the Burj Khalifa in height. While plans were later paused for redesign, Emaar has confirmed that a new concept is in the works.

Once revealed, this tower could once again reshape Dubai's architectural future.

The Future of Dubai's Skyline

Dubai has never been shy about thinking big — and tall. With these nine skyscrapers in development across Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai Marina, and Business Bay, the city's skyline is on track for a dramatic transformation, blending luxury living, world records, and architectural innovation.

One thing's for sure: the view is only getting better.
