About First Central
Hotel Apartment Concept
First Central is a single-tower hotel apartment building in TECOM, delivered as The First Central and operated as First Central Hotel Apartments. The tower comprises 524 suites across a mix of Classic and Executive Studio and One-Bedroom categories, positioned for both business and leisure stays rather than long-term residential occupancy.
Studio suites measure 32 square metres (roughly 344 sq ft) and are fitted with a king or twin bed configuration, a 32-inch LCD television, a kitchenette with hot plate, mini fridge and cookware, plus an in-room safe. One-Bedroom suites extend to 56 square metres (roughly 603 sq ft) and add a separate dining area, full-size fridge and washing machine, giving longer-stay guests more functional living space than a standard hotel room.
Dining & Leisure Facilities
On-site food and beverage is anchored by Manino Deli Café for coffee, breakfast and light snacks, a Manino Terrace Café for beverages, and the Panoramic Restaurant on the 30th floor serving Continental cuisine with elevated city views. A rooftop pool terrace overlooks Palm Jumeirah and the surrounding skyline.
Wellness facilities include a health centre with modern gym equipment, sauna and steam rooms, complementing the rooftop pool for guests looking to combine work stays with recreation.
Guest Services & Parking
The building includes a corner-lobby business centre with free internet access, a travel desk for tours and outdoor activities, and a concierge desk handling transport bookings, city tours, flower deliveries and restaurant reservations. Airport transfers are arranged via private car, and a free shuttle service runs to beaches and malls.
Parking is provided for 291 cars across indoor and outdoor bays, along with designated public and bus/coach outdoor parking, a practical consideration for a building that serves both corporate and leisure guests.
Investment Case
First Central operates as a hotel apartment asset rather than a conventional residential off-plan project, with all 524 suites operated under a single hospitality brand. This structure suits investors seeking hotel-pool or serviced-apartment style returns rather than standard buy-to-let residential leasing.
Its position within TECOM places it inside one of Dubai's established business districts, close to Sheikh Zayed Road, giving the property steady access to corporate demand from surrounding free zone offices.
