“1 Residences is a unique development that reflects the vision of our wise leadership in striving for excellence in all spheres. We remain steadfast in our commitment to creating projects that inspire and improve the well-being of residents and communities.”
Talal Omar, VP – of MENA and Turkey, Guinness World Records said: “We are consistently delighted by the ingenuity and ambition of record holders around the world.
