Talea

Vertical gardens climbing 39 floors of glass and greenery

Talea does not simply sit next to nature. It absorbs it. Beyond by Omniyat designed a tower where planting beds start at podium level and continue up through terraces and facade elements across 39 residential floors. The building includes a ground floor, three podium levels, a mezzanine, and apartments facing Port Rashid, The World Islands, and the emerging Forest District below. Organic curves replace sharp angles. Glass panels frame vegetation rather than hide it. Delivery is scheduled for March 2029 under freehold tenure.

Forest District: a masterplan built around tree canopy

Dubai Maritime City is developing a new neighborhood called Forest District. Talea will be among its first completed towers, connected to adjacent buildings via landscaped pathways that wind through dense plantings. The vision goes beyond decorative greenery: public spaces are structured like an urban forest with shaded trails, integrated seating, and layered vegetation. This approach sets the district apart from Dubai's typical mineral waterfronts. The masterplan anticipates several interconnected towers, potentially creating pedestrian density uncommon for this part of the city.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing floods interiors with daylight

Every unit features panoramic windows stretching from floor to ceiling. Natural light penetrates deep into living areas, reducing reliance on artificial lighting during the day. Interior materials reinforce the biophilic theme: natural stone countertops, custom cabinetry in organic finishes, and spacious bathrooms with stone vanity tops. Penthouses add double-height ceilings and private garden terraces that extend the Forest District concept into the home. The result is a sensory continuity between outdoor landscape and indoor living.

Unit mix: compact one-beds to four-bedroom penthouses

Talea covers a broad spectrum of buyers. One-bedroom apartments suit young professionals or investors targeting short-term rentals. Two and three-bedroom layouts appeal to expatriate families seeking calm surroundings without losing access to central Dubai (Downtown is 30 minutes away). Four-bedroom penthouses, with their double heights and planted terraces, target local or regional buyers looking for vertical space rarely found in Dubai towers. Entry prices start around AED 3.8 million, while top-tier penthouses exceed AED 23 million.

Amenities designed around movement and recovery

Residents have access to a landscaped park with walking trails, a yoga studio, a meditation zone, and an infinity pool. The fitness center operates in two modes: an indoor gym with standard equipment and an outdoor functional training area set among trees. A clubhouse, coworking space, and outdoor lounges complete the offering. Concierge service runs around the clock, supported by CCTV monitoring. Retail and dining outlets at podium level will reduce car dependency for daily errands.

Connectivity: 25 minutes from Dubai International Airport

Dubai International Airport is 25 minutes away by car. Downtown Dubai and Dubai Mall take 30 minutes, as does Jumeirah Beach. International Modern Hospital is reachable in 20 minutes. These drive times assume moderate traffic, but Dubai Maritime City's position between Bur Dubai and Port Rashid offers alternative routes when congestion builds. The area currently lacks a metro station, which remains a constraint for those who prefer public transport over private vehicles.
