Dubai is preparing to welcome a striking new landmark in 2029. Talea Tower, a residential building shaped around greenery and natural elements, is the first project within the Forest District in Dubai Maritime City. Designed for residents who want the calm of nature with the pulse of the city, the tower signals a new phase of sustainable and people-centred urban living.
Living with the forest by the sea

The Forest District sits on a peninsula between Port Rashid and the Dubai Drydocks, offering residents close ties to both land and sea. Talea Tower will be at the heart of this neighbourhood, bringing vertical gardens, open terraces, and expansive windows framing views of trees, water, and skyline.
The project has been planned to align with the city’s long-term sustainability vision. By blending woodland landscapes with seafront living, it reflects the growing demand for green communities in Dubai, as well as the UAE’s broader commitment to sustainable development.
Homes designed around nature
Talea Tower will house 354 apartments, ranging from one to three bedrooms, along with limited penthouses. Each residence is shaped around natural light, greenery, and flowing design. Floor-to-ceiling windows connect indoor spaces to forest and sea views, while earthy interiors create a sense of calm.
Amenities are designed to extend this connection to nature. Swimming pools will be shaded by trees, outdoor fitness decks will be set within landscaped greenery, and elevated walkways will allow residents to stroll among treetops. Children will also have access to nature-inspired play zones, making it a family-friendly community.
Wellness-led amenities for modern living

Life in Talea Tower goes beyond four walls. The designers envisioned the development as a wellness hub, crafting every corner to enhance quality of life. Designers tucked outdoor lounges into shaded corners, positioned gyms to overlook greenery, and built dedicated walking paths that connect residents with every part of the community.
The concept of forest living has been woven into every detail. Natural cooling from dense tree cover, green-shaded areas for relaxation, and open-air gathering spots create a calm environment in the heart of the city. The approach highlights Dubai’s shift towards healthier, more sustainable lifestyles.
Strategic location in Dubai Maritime City
Positioned in Dubai Maritime City, the Forest District benefits from excellent connectivity. The site sits just minutes from Downtown Dubai, DIFC, and Port Rashid, with quick access to Sheikh Zayed Road and Dubai International Airport. For residents, this means seafront tranquillity without compromising on city access.
Planners expect future infrastructure in Maritime City to improve connectivity, enhancing the location’s appeal to both residents and investors.
Residences and investment potential
Talea Tower offers a mix of homes tailored to different lifestyles. From one-bedroom apartments designed for professionals to spacious three-bedroom homes and luxury penthouses for families, the tower caters to a wide range of residents.
Property values are supported by limited availability and prime positioning on the waterfront. With its focus on sustainable living and unique forest concept, Talea Tower is also set to attract strong interest from investors seeking long-term appreciation. Rental yields in the area are expected to remain competitive, adding to its appeal.
Flexible payment plans and the possibility of residency visas for buyers enhance the project’s attractiveness. For many, the combination of investment security and lifestyle value makes Talea a strong contender in Dubai’s property market.
The future of the Forest District
Talea Tower is just the first step. BEYOND Developments has plans to expand the Forest District with additional residential and community projects, all following the same design ethos of nature-first living.
Architects and planners are weaving together architecture, ecology, and community to redefine how Dubai blends modern living with the environment in the Forest District. It supports Dubai’s 2040 Urban Master Plan and the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 Strategy, both of which aim to create people-centred, sustainable growth.
Dubai’s first forest tower signals a new direction for urban living—one that balances nature, wellness, and connectivity. Talea Tower offers more than a home; it represents a lifestyle rooted in greenery and designed for the future. As 2029 approaches, developers are shaping the Forest District in Dubai Maritime City into a model for sustainable and luxury living in the UAE.
