Vela | Foster + Partners

Rising to 150 metres, VELA provides a floor area of 272,860 sq. ft. over 30 floors. The 38 residences range in size from 4,253 sq. ft. to 11,727 sq. ft. (internal area) and encompass penthouses and three-and four-bedroom properties, with double-height living spaces, large private terraces and L-shaped corner pools.

Views are optimised from the first moment of arrival, with an elevated drop-off zone at the base of the tower. The Marasi Bay Marina is framed by a dramatic colonnade and water feature edge. Underneath the drop off, an amenity level with a private deck and wraparound pool overlooks Marina Bay, Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai, offering sun-drenched spaces for relaxation. The amenity level is bookended by a café and gym, which directly connect with the waterfront promenade.

Two central penthouses connect the north and the south parts of the tower and provide 360-degree views or the city. The penthouses are split over two levels with generous double-height spaces, private pools, and incredible bay windows that have been designed to take in the Dubai sunsets.

The tower is crowned by a Sky Palace, which is split over three levels and rises to new heights in Marasi Bay. A standalone triple-height private terrace offers unparalleled views across the city and a private lift lobby connects the drop off and basement parking to the apartment, via a grand arrival gallery.
