Meraas launches new Jumeirah Residences Emirates Towers in Dubai
Dubai's soaring, stunning skyline is set to add another pair of towers.
A new set of twin buildings, named the Jumeirah Residences Emirates Towers, will be built near the Museum of the Future and the existing Jumeirah Emirates Towers.
The development – launched by Meraas, a member of Dubai Holding Real Estate –will feature 754 branded residences, ranging from one-to-four bedroom layouts, set across two distinctive towers.
The existing Emirates Towers are two of the tallest buildings in Dubai, home to the Emirates Office Tower and Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel, standing at 354.6m to the tip.
Tower A will be around 243 metres tall and Tower B will be slightly taller at 232.5 metres. It is scheduled to be completed by 2030.

The new residences will have direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road, allowing its residents to enjoy connectivity to City Walk, Downtown Dubai and J1 Beach.
The acclaimed Singapore-based SCDA Architects will design the new towers and will feature a striking cantilever leading up to a double-height lobby, serene garden courtyard and lounge.
With three exclusive sky terraces featuring infinity-edge pools, landscaped lounges and open-air entertainment spaces, it looks set to be a place with plenty of fun things happening.
Residents will enjoy further amenities ranging from lifestyle to wellness. These will include a fitness centre with dedicated studios, an executive co-working lounge, a private cinema, a resort-style family pool, padel courts, a children's play zone plus curated social and dining venues.
There will also be bespoke wellness treatments, personal fitness coaching, 24-hour concierge services, vehicle management and access to private chefs.

World-famous UK city wants to introduce £5 congestion charge on EVERY car in ‘concerning' move
The move comes amid claims that councillors are trying to turn it into a 'cycle-only city' TAKING ITS TOLL World-famous UK city wants to introduce £5 congestion charge on EVERY car in 'concerning' move Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WORLD-famous UK city is planning to introduce a congestion charge in a move that has led to a civil war between local authorities. Oxford is famous for its gothic spires and picturesque bridges, which attract sightseers from around the world. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Signage marking the boundary of the Congestion Charge zone in London But new plans are now underway to force drivers to pay £5 to access some areas of Oxford's historic city centre. The congestion charge, proposed by Oxfordshire County Council, would be the first new levy of its kind introduced in a British city in two decades. However, the other local authority in the region, Oxford City Council, slammed the scheme as elitist. They say there has been "no engagement" on the proposals and that the congestion charge "only allows people who can afford to do so to buy access to our streets." Speaking to The Telegraph, Susan Brown, the leader of the city council, said: 'There has been no engagement with businesses, residents or the city council until today – yet again the city is being done to rather than engaged with in preparing transport proposals. 'We are concerned that this scheme allows people who can afford to do so to buy access to our streets. Those who can't will struggle.' Oxfordshire County Council called comments from the city authority "disappointing". Campaigner Clinton Pugh, the father of Hollywood starlet Florence Pugh, told The Telegraph that the proposed scheme risked turning Oxford into a Singapore-like location in which only the wealthy could afford to drive in the city. The former restauranteur also claimed that the County Council were trying to turn Oxford into a 'cycle-only city' which would have a destructive impact on local businesses in the area. He added: 'You have got no one in the council who has any business experience and understands the impact of doing this.' In a statement, Oxfordshire County Council said: "Proposed options to manage congestion in and around Oxford will be discussed by Oxfordshire County Council's cabinet on 17 June. "Options will include a temporary congestion charge for the city. "The council has committed to addressing congestion in the short-term, after its plan to implement six trial traffic filters was postponed due to the ongoing closure of Botley Road, now expected to reopen in August 2026. Shocking moment cyclist tears through traffic with child clinging to back - before riding WRONG way through roundabout "The council's cabinet will be asked to approve the start of a public consultation on a temporary congestion charge. "The scheme would improve bus services and make it easier for those with permits, including carers, traders and blue badge holders, to travel by car into and around the city. "If approved, a public consultation would start on 23 June, with a view to implementing the temporary scheme in autumn this year." Councillor Andrew Gant, Oxfordshire County Council's Cabinet Member for Transport Management, told The Express: 'We urgently need to see improvements to travel around the city; better bus services and less traffic overall, to help people get around. 'We must take action for our residents, businesses and visitors while Oxford's Botley Road remains closed and I look forward to discussing the options with cabinet colleagues.'

Poundland sold for £1 and set to shut shops in restructuring
The discount chain, known for primarily selling products for £1, had been put on the market earlier this year after a sharp downturn in trading. Poland-based Pepco Group, which has owned Poundland since 2016, said on Thursday that it completed the sale of the business for a 'nominal' fee. Sources close to the process have said this was £1. Poundland's more-than-800 stores and roughly 16,000 employees will be transferred to the ownership of Gordon Brothers, which owns brands including Laura Ashley, as a result. However, as part of the deal, Poundland is set to undergo a restructuring plan, which will go through the high court. Poundland said the details will be communicated 'in due course'. It is understood that full details of the shake-up will be sent out company creditors in the coming days. The company is expected to seek around 100 store closures and a raft of rent reductions from landlords as part of the process. As part of the restructuring plan, Pepco is set to retain a minority stake in Poundland. Last month, Poundland reported that revenues dropped by 6.5% to 985 million euros (£830 million) for the six months to March, compared with a year earlier. The brand suffered 'challenges across all categories' and had 18 net store closures over the period. Pepco said the deal will help it shift away from food and drinks, improve its revenue growth and boost its profitability. Stephan Borchert, Pepco Group chief executive, said: 'This transaction will strongly support our accelerated value creation programme by simplifying the group and focusing on our successful Pepco business. 'Poundland remains a key player in UK discount retail, with millions of customers annually and a well-loved brand and proposition. 'We want to sincerely thank all the Poundland team for their ongoing commitment and contribution to the group and wish Barry Williams and his team all the best for the future.'
