Rolex Tower

By now we have seen all of DCC’s ongoing projects. There is a sprawling island development on the Palm Jumeirah which includes over thirty $10 million villas and three, twelve-story apartment buildings. We have toured a fifty story luxury hotel and office building and we have seen six other projects in three cities and two countries. Out of all of those projects, the Rolex Tower is my favorite.

The Rolex Tower is a 62 story tower on the main road of Dubai, Sheik Zayed Road. The tower stands out from the rest with its simple glass exterior which alternates between light and dark green. A large rectangular section of the building is missing from the top few stories to allow more natural light in.

Most of the apartments were really impressive but it was the penthouses that made the Rolex Tower my favorite. Located on the 59th and 60th floors, each penthouse has amazing views of the entire city from every side. Even the bathrooms look down on the cities. One of the penthouses even has its own private pool as big as the pool for the rest of the apartments…combined. The maid’s quarters are almost as big as the apartment we’re staying in.

  1. Does the shower have the ability to frost over (or whatevr you call it) so people can't see you?
