The first Mercedes-Benz-branded residential tower, in Downtown Dubai.
Mercedes-Benz Places is a 65-storey, 341-metre tower in Downtown Dubai holding 150 residences, designed with Mercedes-Benz. Avory introduces buyers ahead of and after completion.
What you own
A freehold residence in the tower, bought from Binghatti ahead of completion. Dubai permits foreign buyers to hold freehold outright in areas designated as freehold, set by Article 3 of Regulation No. 3 of 2006, and the title deed is issued by the Dubai Land Department. Non-resident buyers and expatriate residents both qualify, and there is no age limit. What transfers on completion is the residence itself, not a fraction, a club membership or a right to use with an end date. The freehold status of the plot, the contract and the payment schedule are confirmed before you commit.
Usage
Owner use from completion, with no fixed weeks and no allocation calendar, because this is whole ownership rather than a fraction. Letting is allowed but regulated. Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism states that all apartments and villas must be registered and approved by it before they are listed, so a holiday home permit is needed for the unit. Longer lets fall under separate tenancy registration. Any letting of an owner residence is subject to availability and to the permit being in place.
What it costs to hold
Binghatti has not published a service charge for this tower, and a figure quoted before completion would not be reliable. Expect an annual charge assessed on the size of your residence and billed by the building's owners association once the tower is handed over. The service charge, any reserve fund contribution, and the Dubai Land Department registration and transfer costs are confirmed for the specific residence before you commit.
Services and amenities
The building's facilities and the mobility services attached to them are listed below. The mobility side is what separates this from a standard Downtown tower: the brand partnership puts valet, charging and car access inside the building rather than leaving them to the resident. Confirm which of these carry a separate charge, because the developer has not published that split.
- Automated valet parking
- EV charging in the building
- Chauffeur service
- Ride-hailing booked through the building's mobility app
- Bicycle and scooter sharing
- Spa
- Sports and wellness zones
- Restaurants on site
- Residents' lounges
- Retail and exhibition space, non-automotive
- Smart-home systems tied to Mercedes-Benz mobility services
The building
A 65-storey tower of 341 metres, or 1,118 feet, holding 150 residences. Mercedes-Benz led the design through Gorden Wagener, its Chief Design Officer, applying the marque's Sensual Purity design language to a building rather than a car. The form is elliptical and built from three elements: a core carrying horizontal balconies, a lamella frame structure, and a closed southern façade clad in photovoltaic panels set in the Mercedes-Benz pattern. Glazing runs floor to ceiling. Binghatti Developers FZE is the developer and calls it a hyper-tower. Construction began in 2024. No handover date has been published.
The residences
Six named collections, each taking its name from a Mercedes-Benz model. The Pagoda Suite is a 2-bedroom and the Grand Mercedes Suite a 3-bedroom, each offered in several layout types. Above them sits a penthouse collection: the Vision One-Eleven at 4 bedrooms in two layouts, the Gullwing at 5 bedrooms, the Vision EQ Silver Arrow over two levels, and the Uhlenhaut Coupé over three. The launch release describes the tower as 150 residences of 2 to 4 bedrooms plus 5 penthouses. Floor areas are not published and are confirmed for the specific residence before you commit.
The location
Downtown Dubai, the district built around the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall. The project's own material sells the outlook, promising unobstructed views of the world's tallest tower, so the direction your residence faces matters more here than the floor number. The district is walkable by Dubai standards, with the mall, the fountain and the metro inside it and Business Bay immediately south. Dubai International is the nearest airport. Confirm the exact plot and the aspect of your residence before you commit.
Buying here
Dubai is open to foreign buyers in a way most markets are not. The UAE government's own guidance states that foreigners who do not live in the UAE, and expatriate residents, may acquire freehold ownership rights over property without restriction in areas designated as freehold, with those areas set by Article 3 of Regulation No. 3 of 2006. Title deeds are issued by the Land Department. Buying ahead of completion adds a step: payments follow the developer's schedule, and the registration and transfer costs are confirmed before you sign anything.
How Avory arranges this
Avory deals with Binghatti's sales office directly, and with individual owners on resale. After you enquire we confirm what is actually available at your size and floor, send the floor plan and the payment schedule, and put the developer's contract and registration costs in front of you before you commit. We do not set prices and we hold no allocation. Where an owner offers their residence for a stay, that is arranged with the owner and is subject to availability. Request access.
