Situated in Dubai’s Marasi Bay with a direct view of the Burj Khalifa, the developments are “characterized by a horizontal rhythm, emphasized structure, and strategic voids in the massing.”
Reaching a height of 150 meters, VELA spans a floor area of 272,860 sqm across 30 floors. The tower features 38 residences, including penthouses and three and four-bedroom units. Upon arrival, residents are dropped off at an elevated zone at the tower’s base. The Marasi Bay Marina is framed by a colonnade and water feature edge. Beneath the drop-off is an amenity level with programs for relaxation overlooking Marina Bay, Burj Khalifa, and Downtown Dubai.
The beachfront promenade and the amenity level are connected, with a café and a gym serving as anchors. Two central penthouses connect the tower’s north and south sections, offering city views. The Sky Palace is at the tower's pinnacle, a private terrace boasting an arrival gallery connecting the apartment to the basement parking and drop-off area.
