U-Bora Towers is a group of buildings with a singular 263 m high tower overlooking Dubai’s Business Bay. It starts with a relatively small 1,100 sq m base and swells out and up in a graceful shallow arc a modicum of twist for 58 floors. Around the middle of the arc the floors grow to as much as 2,000 sq m but they diminish a little by the time the top is reached.
The two accompanying components of the scheme are a 17,000 sq m retail and parking podium on four levels and a curving 30,000 sq m residential block rising from 12 storeys at the end nearest the tower to 15 storeys at the western end where the apartments command sea and city views and are low enough to register as a neighbourly environment.
