The Centre of Everything

Downtown trades a beach for absolute centrality. From here you are ten minutes from DIFC, fifteen from the airport, and on the doorstep of the restaurants, galleries and retail that the rest of the city drives in for.

Stock is almost entirely apartments, from compact studios in the older Emaar towers to full-floor penthouses in the Address and Opera District buildings. Service charges sit at the higher end of the city, which is worth modelling before you buy.
