The district of Downtown Dubai has been growing from strength to strength since it was formally established ten years ago. From the world’s largest shopping mall and the world’s tallest tower to the region’s premier opera house and some of the very finest hotels, the district offers a plethora of unique lifestyle options that appeal to the sensibilities of visitors to Dubai as well as longtime residents.
Downtown Dubai is also a prime residential destination, offering a apartment in close proximity to the Burj. This week saw the launch of the newest project by master developer Emaar, which will also be the last tower launched in the heart of the Downtown district. Known as Burj Royale, the gleaming new tower will stand 58 storeys high and will overlook sweeping views of the city with the Burj Khalifa taking centre stage.
The location of Burj Royale is one of particular significance, as it is in the very centre of Downtown Dubai. This is what many would consider to be the heart of the city, housing three icons in the form of the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Mall and the Dubai Opera. Burj Royale is situated only a short walk away from each of them and right alongside the beautiful Old Town Island, a fully integrated community designed in a very traditional Arabesque style. Several five-star hotels are also quite close at hand, including the ultra-exclusive Armani Hotel which occupies the lower levels of Burj Khalifa. During cooler months, residents can take a stroll along Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, the main thoroughfare that runs through the district. Here, they will find a selection of fine cuisine, such as popular Mediterranean eatery La Serre and Japanese restaurant Toko.
Burj Royale is one of the last opportunities to invest in what has come to be known as the world’s most prestigious square kilometre. It is expected to be ready for handover by October 2022.
