About Downtown Dubai
Downtown Dubai spans 500 acres of Emaar-built inventory including Burj Vista, The Address Residences, Boulevard Point, Il Primo and the Old Town low-rise apartment quarter. It borders Business Bay to the south and Sheikh Zayed Road to the west.
Investment case
Downtown Dubai commands the highest per-sqft rates in the city outside of Palm Jumeirah, and short-let yields on Burj Khalifa-view stock are among the strongest globally. Capital growth remains steady with limited new supply.
Lifestyle
Dubai Mall, Dubai Opera, Souk Al Bahar, Burj Park and 24/7 F&B define daily life. Everything is walkable, from Business Bay to DIFC.
