Como Residences
Como Residences is a Nakheel residential tower on Palm Jumeirah, Dubai. This page is for buyers looking at a Como Residences distress sale, off-plan resale or motivated seller listing, and explains the tower's setting, amenities and the ownership, payment plan and transfer checks to complete beforehand.
Como Residences on Palm Jumeirah
Como Residences is an exclusive residential tower by Nakheel on Palm Jumeirah, Dubai. Nakheel describes a sleek, slender building designed so that each residence can take in wide views of Dubai and the Arabian Sea from wraparound balconies. The emphasis is on privacy and a small number of homes, rather than a large-scale apartment block.
DPF's hierarchy places Como Residences in the Palm Jumeirah community, within the Palm Jumeirah area, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Nakheel positions the tower among Palm Jumeirah's resorts, shops, entertainment venues and dining, and lists Al Ittihad Park, Golden Mile Galleria, the Palm Monorail, Palm West Beach, Club Vista Mare and Nakheel Mall as nearby points of reference.
Nakheel and the project
Nakheel is the developer of Palm Jumeirah and of Como Residences, which it markets on its official website under its new launches. Nakheel presents the tower as a new mode of cosmopolitan, waterfront living on the island. Because Nakheel is both the developer of the building and the master developer of the island, the developer page and the official project page are the main references for the building's name and features.
Residences
Nakheel's page focuses on views and exclusivity rather than a detailed unit list. It describes opulent interiors and residences planned around panoramic outlooks, from partial to full wraparound views depending on position. Listings that have appeared on DPF for Como Residences have been large penthouse-style homes, but every resale unit is different, so confirm the layout and orientation against the Oqood or title deed and the official floor plan.
Amenities
The developer lists a notable set of shared spaces:
- An elevated private sandy beach
- A lap pool and a rooftop infinity pool
- A rooftop viewing deck with panoramic views
- Children's wet and dry play areas
- A private café lounge, a business centre and a private residents' lounge
- Landscaped areas and a variety of recreational spaces
These amenities are part of what the building's service charges pay for, so it is worth understanding how they will be run once the tower is operating.
Finding distressed and below-market units in Como Residences
Searches for a Como Residences distress sale or units below original price tend to relate to off-plan resale, where an owner would rather assign their contract than complete the payment plan, or to a motivated seller who wants a quicker transaction. DPF lists homes that sellers and agents describe as below market or below original price. DPF does not confirm those descriptions, and the asking figures are decided by the sellers.
The due-diligence steps for a resale here:
- Oqood: verify that the interim registration is in the seller's name and matches the exact residence.
- Payment plan status: obtain a statement from Nakheel confirming instalments paid and still due.
- Seller's outstanding balance: agree in writing how the remaining balance to Nakheel and any finance will be handled.
- Developer NOC: Nakheel's NOC is needed before the Dubai Land Department will record the transfer.
- DLD transfer: complete registration through a trustee office with all costs agreed beforehand.
- Service charges: after handover, confirm that service charges are paid and obtain the owners' association schedule.
At this level of the market, independent legal advice and a careful check of the sale and purchase agreement are especially worthwhile.
