Points this record cannot yet settle, with the sources on
each side. Both readings are published rather than one being chosen quietly. 1 question has since been settled; each is listed with its ruling.
Whether The Alba Residences and The Alba Resort Residences are separate branded-residence projects or components of one development on one site.
- Two components of one developmentOMNIYAT's own destination microsite presents The Alba Residences (unfurnished, by Zaha Hadid Architects) and The Alba Resort Residences (fully furnished, resort-style) as two offerings within what it calls "one larger development project," sharing landscaping by Vladimir Djurovic across a 26,000 sqm central oasis and a hotel component also designed by Zaha Hadid Architects.source ↗
- Two separate projectsOMNIYAT's own site lists "The Alba Residences" and "The Alba Resort Residences" (also called "Alba Resorts") as separate entries in its residential portfolio menu, each with its own dedicated project page, unit count and completion date.source ↗
ResolvedComponents of one development. OMNIYAT's own destination microsite describes both, its project page for the residences calls them the unfurnished component of a wider development that also includes the resort residences and a hotel on the same site, and the two are recorded here as one project with a component each.
Palm Jumeirah · Scope · settledWhich side of the Palm Jumeirah crescent ORLA and ORLA Infinity stand on. The two readings are about 2.5 km apart and no page opened for either states a plot number.
- The apex of the crescentOMNIYAT's own project page places ORLA on "an 29,000 square-metre beachfront plot at the apex of the Palm's crescent", and a Sotheby's listing repeats "at the apex of Palm Jumeirah's crescent". Read as geometry this is the crescent's northernmost point, which is where these two records sat until the position was re-derived — and that point is occupied by the Sofitel resort and by OMNIYAT's own Alba plot.source ↗
- The West CrescentA building guide gives the address as "Located on Crescent West Street", and a portal listing places the plot at 25.1228, 55.1118 — on the western arm, between the W Dubai hotel and the Serenia Living site, a stretch OpenStreetMap maps as largely undeveloped. Both records now carry the mapped West Crescent carriageway on that reading.source ↗
