Sky-high 5-bed duplex penthouse at Jumeirah Living, Business Bay

This sophisticated five-bedroom duplex penthouse spans 6,222 sq. ft. within Jumeirah Living Business Bay, rising high above the city with sweeping 360-degree views across Downtown Dubai and the wider skyline. Distinguished by its generous proportions, considered finishes, and striking architectural details, this home is also embraced by natural light and an airy ambience.

The Tour

The door opens onto an entrance hall, where the living area and the kitchen unfold. Wrapping the residence is a curved balcony, framed by full-height windows, offering a glimpse of the city and beyond. There is plenty of space to be utilised for a large dining area, entertaining or hosting.

The kitchen can be accessed from the hall; it sits smartly and is quite compact, featuring a charcoal countertop with modern wood-finished cabinetry, while a separate enclosed wet kitchen sits discreetly to one side. Herringbone timber flooring runs throughout the home, adding warmth to the principal spaces, offset by a palette of refined finishes and the home’s defining sculptural element: a matte-black spiral staircase that rises through the centre of the residence and leads upstairs.

A private arrangement of bedrooms unfolds upstairs. Each has its own en suite bathroom, finished in understated marble-effect surfaces, while the master suite offers a quieter sense of retreat with a walk-in wardrobe and some of the residence’s most expansive views. A bedroom with an en suite bathroom is also positioned on this floor, offering flexibility for family, guests or staff. Outside, a semi-circular terrace extends from the living spaces, creating an elevated setting for morning coffee, evening drinks or simply taking in the city below.

This is a home that balances volume with intimacy. Its generous entertaining spaces lend themselves to hosting, while the upper level provides a clear sense of privacy and separation. Above all, it is a residence defined by its setting, scale and distinctive architectural character.

The Area

Jumeirah Living Business Bay is a 35-storey luxury tower by Select Group, built with Jumeirah Group. It sits right on the Dubai Canal, standing tall in the Downtown skyline with postcard-perfect views of the water and the Burj Khalifa. While it feels like a quiet retreat by the canal, it is just minutes from Downtown Dubai, DIFC and Dubai Mall.
