Discovering One At Palm: A Benchmark in Luxury Residential Buildings in Dubai
Explore One At Palm, a pinnacle of luxury residential living in Dubai, boasting innovative design and unparalleled amenities.
Located at the prestigious entrance to Palm Jumeirah, One At Palm stands as a paragon of luxury residential buildings in Dubai. This unique development by SOMA architects completed in 2021, redefines luxury living with its innovative design and breathtaking views of Dubai Marina and the Arabian Gulf.


Architectural Vision and Design of One At Palm
Unique Layout and Design Approach
One At Palm, conceptualized by the New York-based firm SOMA, offers a groundbreaking approach to apartment layout. The building's design emphasizes maximizing views while ensuring privacy for each of its 90 residences. Residences range from 270 to 2,000 square meters, each boasting private garden terraces that offer panoramic views of the North-facing Palm and South-facing Dubai Marina.


Structural Innovations
The architecture incorporates a basic column and concrete slab structure, enhanced by a post-tensioned beam system. This allows for dramatic cantilevers and consistent ceiling heights across the units. This structural ingenuity not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the building but also maximizes the functional outdoor space for residents.


Interior and Exterior Features
Luxurious Amenities and Interior Design
One At Palm offers state-of-the-art amenities including a private jetty, beach club, outdoor and indoor pools, a fitness center, and a cigar lounge. The interiors, designed by the acclaimed Japanese firm Superpotato, feature a bespoke, luxurious finish that integrates seamlessly with the building’s stunning exterior.


Sustainable and Culturally-Informed Landscaping
Lebanese landscape architect Vladimir Djorovic designed the surrounding landscape to align with Dubai’s climate and cultural context, ensuring usable, private outdoor spaces year-round.


Record-Breaking Features
A New Standard in Luxury
Upon completion, One At Palm set records not only for its architectural innovations but also as the most expensive real estate in the Arab world. Each residence is designed with expansive, double-height terraces equipped with private pools, contributing to the building's reputation as a pinnacle of luxury residential buildings in Dubai.

A Landmark of Luxury Living
One At Palm is not just a residential building; it is a landmark of luxury living in Dubai. Its iconic design and unparalleled amenities set a new standard for residential developments in the region and continue to attract significant interest in the Palm Jumeirah area.
