Dubai eagerly awaits the most iconic construction in recent times. This skyscraper in Dubai has captured global attention and will break world records, focusing on the most emblematic city of the United Arab Emirates. Before its completion, the Muraba Veil is considered the thinnest building in the world, with a width of 22.5 meters.
This building will be developed by the Spanish architecture firm RCR Arquitectes and will stand 380 meters tall, featuring a stainless steel cover that will give the impression of changing colors according to the sky. Without a doubt, the Muraba Veil will be one of the architectural landmarks that will also mark the history of the city.
Living in the thinnest building in Dubai: how much does this luxury cost?
The Muraba Veil will have 131 apartments that will occupy the entire floor, giving this building a highly sought-after sense of privacy. These residences will feature two and five bedrooms each, where residents will also have access to amenities such as a spa, pools, restaurants, and private cinemas.
This mega project will be available by 2028 and is an investment opportunity for those looking to settle in a successful district of Dubai as well as live surrounded by luxury and cutting-edge technologies. Apartment prices start at 18 million dirhams (1.7 million euros), and each will follow the model of traditional Arab houses with an interior garden.
“Urban oases,” the concept of Dubai’s narrowest tower.
RCR Arquitectes, in charge of this project, defined the construction of these apartments as true “urban oases” because they will feature green spaces within their floors, following the lines of Arab philosophy and its relation to the desert and nature. The main architect in charge of the work, Rafael Aranda, stated that Muraba Veil will adapt to the culture where it will be erected and added: “Our buildings must belong to the site and the native landscape where they are located.”
In the official statement announcing the construction of this narrow tower, the engineers and developers confirmed that its narrowness was one of the main challenges. “It is a structure that, with its unusually narrow profile, could only have been achieved with the latest advances in engineering,” they said.
The most emblematic veil, a symbol of technological advancement in Dubai.
within the particularities of muraba veil, the placement of the “veil” of stainless steel in its structure is one of the most striking. this is a porous and light-sensitive mesh, which will give the feeling of modifying its color according to the sky. as confirmed by its architects, the application of this enormous layer serves to “dematerialize the presence of architecture,” connecting this huge building to the urban landscape.
this emblematic building will be located on sheikh zayed road, a highly bustling area in dubai, which will also offer the best views and access within minutes to sites such as the burj khalifa and the dubai mall. the construction is still underway, with an estimated completion date in december 2028, making it one of the most anticipated developments in recent times in dubai.
