Architecture and Design

Damac Heights is located in the upper part of the marina, the most populated district of Dubai Marina containing 9 skyscrapers and about 10 between 200 m and 300 m. The design incorporates elements that increase the field of view giving the impression of a larger space between the DAMAC and the other towers. According to the architects, Aedas, the curvature of the tower is crucial to provide views of the largest number of apartments possible

The tower was planned to be 420 m (1,378 ft) high, but its height was reduced to 335 m (1,099 ft) in February 2013.[5]

The building topped out in September 2016.
