Construction started on 26 July 2008. Before construction stopped, the building was expected to be completed in 2013.[5] By May 2011, 22 floors had been completed. However, in August 2011, construction stopped after Trident International Holdings fell behind on payments for a US$20.4 million loan following the global financial crisis.[9] As of 2023[update], the tower still stood incomplete.
In December 2023, Select Group acquired the long-stalled Pentominium Tower, which was renamed Six Senses Residences Dubai Marina in March 2024. The company plans to resume construction of the 2008 design in May 2024.
Had the project been completed as scheduled, the Pentominium would have been the second tallest building in Dubai after Burj Khalifa and the tallest residential building in the world, surpassing the 472.4-metre (1,550 ft) Central Park Tower in New York City.
