[edit] Record holder
Pentominium is currently the second-tallest under construction all-residential building in the world, the 610-metre (2,000 ft) tall Chicago Spire being the first. Pentominium also is the fifth-tallest building under construction in the world, after the Burj Dubai, Russia Tower, Chicago Spire and Freedom Tower.
[edit] Apartments and design
The word 'Pentominium' is a portmanteau of penthouse and condominium. Each living space will have its own foyer and smart biometric access control. Every apartment will consist of either a complete or half of a floor in the building (more than 600 m²).
According to Trident, the design aim is to provide the most luxurious apartments in the world, with each residence having access to a 24 hour per day butler service. Trident have also secured deals with external companies to ensure owners can make use of a Rolls Royce or high-end sports car of their choice, and sailing trips on luxury yachts over the Persian Gulf.
The top floors of the Pentominium will contain a Sky Lounge, Sky Pool, Business Centre, and a private observation deck along with ladies & gentleman's health clubs and a cigar lounge, squash courts, a banqueting hall, and private theatre.
