Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai: Apartments Above a Shopping Mall

Key details

About this property

The tower stands directly on Sheikh Zayed Road in Jebel Ali, the corridor that carries most of Dubai's traffic between the old city and the new one. A dedicated bridge runs from the second floor of the podium straight onto the highway intersection, which in this city is worth more than it sounds: it takes the daily exit out of the surface traffic entirely. The metro is minutes away, Dubai Marina and Jumeirah Lake Towers are next door, and the upper floors look out over the Jumeirah Islands, Bluewaters and the Palm. What makes the address unusual is that the everyday infrastructure is inside the development rather than a drive away. A full shopping mall sits on the lower levels, along with healthcare and retail, and 175,000 square feet of office space with a business centre and co-working areas an elevator ride from the apartments. For anyone working in the Marina or Media City corridor, that combination is the argument: the commute is short, and on the days it is not needed at all, the working space is downstairs. The homes themselves are one and two bedroom apartments with floor to ceiling glass, finished in warm neutrals. This is one of six interconnected towers set around a shared podium. An elevated park runs across it, with a children's pool, a lap pool, a leisure pool and a jacuzzi on one side and a jogging track, an outdoor exercise space, a football ground, a cricket batting enclosure and a putting course on the other. Indoors there is a gym, a library, a clubhouse and a theatre. Gardens are laid out by theme, and there is an outdoor cinema lawn, an amphitheatre, a dog park and a family barbecue area. Ownership is freehold and open to foreign buyers. The payment schedule is a fifth on booking, four instalments of a tenth each across the build, and the remaining two fifths on completion, with handover scheduled for December 2029. Two things to check before committing. The completion payment is large, so plan the final cash requirement from the start. And availability moves quickly on this masterplan, so confirm directly what is still open in this tower rather than relying on published lists.
