H&H has announced the launch of Janu Dubai, a a new hospitality and residential destination developed in partnership with Aman Group.
Designed by Herzog & de Meuron, the 1.3 million ft2 destination signals a fresh vision for urban living, where hospitality, residences, work and leisure converge at the heart of Dubai’s business and cultural district. Conceived as a cohesive mixed-use destination, the development brings together a 150-room Janu hotel, 57 branded residences, a private members’ club, alongside premium offices and a curated retail offering, amplifying the vibrancy of DIFC.
At ground level, a reimagined souk anchors the project with retail and F&B spaces arranged around shaded courtyards.
While details of the Janu hotel are still to be announced, the 57 branded residences include 30 two-bedroom, 18 three-bedroom, 7 four-bedroom, a single five-bedroom, crowned by a 11,323ft2 triplex penthouse at the pinnacle of Janu Dubai.
Residences feature high ceilings – up to 3.5 metres – expansive windows, hand-finished plaster walls, natural wood floors and monolithic stone kitchens and bathrooms. The refined, tactile palette maximises panoramic views of Dubai landmarks, from Burj Khalifa to Zabeel Palace and DIFC skyline.
Located at the intersection of Al Mustaqbal Street and 17th Street in Za’abeel Second, a private drop-off, framed by layered landscaping, leads into the 18-metre-high lobby. Dedicated concierge services, private car lifts, private high-speed lifts, exclusive parking and a penthouse garage will support arrival experience of the residents.
The 34th floor is occupied by a suite of signature amenities, ranging from an infinity pool, club lounge and fitness centre, to sun terraces, dining lounges and a bar with skyline views. Residents will also have access to Janu Spa & Wellness and the Janu Club.
“With Janu Dubai we are creating more than a place to stay. Cultivating sociability, shaped by creativity, bold design and vibrancy, Janu Residences embodies the essence of the brand,” says Vlad Doronin, Chairman and CEO of Aman Group. “Designed by Herzog & de Meuron, the tower has a tactile, mineral quality and a sculptural form that gives it a distinctive identity in Dubai’s polished skyline while introducing a more human scale to DIFC. Embracing a meaningful connection to nature, it will integrate expansive outdoor terraces and balconies enriched with abundant planting and gardens, creating a verdant, pedestrian-focused environment that is rare for a high-rise in the UAE. DIFC is a fitting location for this vision, and I look forward to bringing the next chapter of Janu’s residential journey to one of the most dynamic corners of the world.”
Shahab Lutfi, Chairman of H&H, adds: “Janu Dubai is a project we are delighted to bring to life in partnership with the Aman Group. Its lively, energetic concept complements DIFC’s dynamism, while Herzog & de Meuron’s one-of-a-kind design makes a striking architectural statement.”
