23 Marina is a supertall luxury residential skyscraper in the ever-expanding metropolis of Dubai. Located in a burgeoning commercial area of the city, the condominium tower is located next to a metro station and the Emirates Golf Club, offering incredible views of the marina, the Dubai International Marine Club, Sheik Zayed Road, Dubai Media City, and the extraordinary Dubai skyline.
The project is built on a podium, housing a six-story-high entry hall featuring geometric designs in the flooring and slanted glass walls, and is replete with a waterfall sculpture behind the concierge desk. An outdoor swimming pool at the ground level of the building directly abuts the glass lobby area, drawing on the theme of water and the nearby waterfront. The tower structure on top of the podium is constructed in an octagonal shape, which maximizes the far-reaching views from the apartments. The tower employs a curtain wall system of exposed white concrete and tinted blue glass; the façades gather at the top of the building, meeting in a dramatic pointed spire, much like a ball point pen. The spire is embraced by triangular canopies covering the rooftop terrace, which serve to streamline the building’s form.
23 Marina stands as one of the tallest residential buildings in the Middle East. It offers the utmost in luxury to its residents, boasting two- and three-bedroom apartments and four-bedroom “duplex” apartments, with tastefully styled interiors of wood and marble. The duplex apartments will all have private elevators, and triangular balconies that jut out of the building with plunge pools. The meticulously landscaped development also features a health club, a running track, a spa, and a children’s play pool.
