Burj Khalifa already an area of impressive innovation and development, Dubai is set to make waves once again with the construction of what is planned to be the tallest building in the world. Called Burj Khalifa (which translates to �Dubai Tower� in Arabic), the building will serve as the future centerpiece of Downtown Dubai, which itself is the most prestigious urban development in the Gulf region. Although the exact height of Burj Khalifa has yet to be announced, initial announcements have pegged the height to more than 700 meters. The design of Burj Khalifa is said to be influenced by the familiar six petal flower that grows in the region�s desert.
Burj Khalifa will be located on Sheikh Zayed Road, after the Defense Roundabout. Featuring a picturesque man-made lake, the building will be at the center of a burgeoning community comprised of residential, commercial, entertainment, and leisure establishments. More than just an urban center, the area will also feature plenty of wide open spaces, lush greenery, water attractions, and pedestrian thoroughfares.
The Burj Khalifa Residence is only one of the many residential areas in Downtown Dubai, but it definitely has what it takes to impress. With no less than nine luxury apartment towers, gorgeous views of open water and lush greenery, Burj Residence will also feature a variety of leisure and entertainment facilities including gyms, pools and spas. Each tower in the settlement will have a selection of residential units, ranging from 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom suites to penthouses and villas.
Old Town is located at the base of Burj Khalifa, and will feature a variety of freehold residential properties, including three-story apartments to penthouses constructed in mid-rise towers. Designed in a traditional architectural style, Old Town units will also feature gorgeous views by way of strategically-installed terraces and balconies. Culinary establishments include anything and everything from five-star restaurants to quaint outdoor cafes with stunning park and waterway views.
Comprised of a string of 2-story apartments, The Lofts is located along Burj Khalifa Boulevard. Constructed within a 3-tower complex, each with 27- to 30-stories, The Lofts are designed to rise up from a 6-story podium and offers a stunning view of the surroundings by way of panoramic windows and outdoor balconies. The towers will feature one- and two-bedroom units with 6 suites on every floor.
Set to be the foremost shopping, lifestyle and entertainment location in the area is Dubai Mall, which offers over 1,200 establishments and plenty of modern attractions. Providing a thoroughly state-of-the-art shopping experience, the Dubai Mall offers anything and everything from shopping to dining, and even a host of sports activities including ice-skating. Other attractions include a big-screen theater, a stunning aquarium, and even an updated gold souk.
