The Palm Tower on Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah is now almost 95 per cent complete, with all components due to open by October this year.

According to developer Nakheel, the 52-storey building is in the advanced stages of fit out, with all exterior cladding completed.

Soaring 240 metres above the Palm Jumeirah, The Palm Tower offers sweeping, uninterrupted views of the world-famous island, the Arabian Gulf and the Dubai skyline.

The building comprises 432 luxury, fully furnished residences, due for handover from October this year, and a 290-room St. Regis hotel, opening this summer.

The studios and one, two and three bedroom apartments occupy levels 19 to 47 of the building, while the hotel is on the first 18 floors.
