About Burj Khalifa

The Residence at Burj Khalifa

The Residence, Burj Khalifa occupies the world's tallest building, a single tower with 1,080 residential units delivered by Emaar Properties between 2004 and 2012. Positioned in Downtown Dubai, it remains one of the most recognized addresses for apartments in Downtown Dubai, with the tower's residential floors set above retail and hospitality components at the base.

The building's design emphasizes attention to detail across finishes and shared facilities, reflecting the standard Emaar established when the tower opened. As a completed, fully handed-over asset, it now trades primarily on the resale and rental market rather than as an off-plan launch, though it remains a benchmark against which newer Downtown Dubai apartments for sale in Downtown Dubai are measured.

Interiors and Residence Design

Interiors across the residential floors are finished to a consistent standard of contemporary detailing, described by the developer as reflecting urban chic and modern quality. Layouts vary by floor within the tower's single-building structure, which houses 1,080 units in total.

The building's height and structural profile allow for expansive views over the city and coastline from upper floors, a feature that continues to differentiate units here from other properties for sale in Downtown Dubai.

Downtown Dubai Location Advantage

The tower sits directly adjacent to Dubai Mall and Fashion Avenue, with pedestrian access into the retail and dining complex without needing to use surrounding roads. Dubai Mall itself draws more than 100 million visitors annually and houses over 1,200 retail outlets and 200 dining venues.

This proximity to Dubai Mall, Dubai Opera and the Dubai Fountain places the building inside Downtown Dubai's core trilogy of attractions, a factor that continues to support demand for downtown dubai property investment among both end users and investors.

Investment Case

As a fully completed, income-generating asset with a 100% construction completion status, the building offers immediate occupancy rather than a construction timeline, which distinguishes it from off plan projects Downtown Dubai buyers might otherwise consider. Emaar Properties reported AED 28.27 billion in FY2021 revenue and had delivered over 35,200 residential units group-wide by the end of 2021, underlining the scale of the developer behind the asset.

The building's location, at the base of a globally recognized landmark, continues to anchor pricing across Downtown Dubai's wider apartment and penthouse market, making it a reference point for off-plan property in Dubai, particularly for premium residences and comparable stock in the area.
