EMAAR The Residences Burj Khalifa

The Residence Burj Khalifa: Ultra-Luxury Living in Downtown Dubai
The Residence Burj Khalifa is a 12-storey ultra-luxury annex to the Burj Khalifa the world’s tallest building located in the heart of Downtown Dubai. Developed by Emaar Properties, the company behind Downtown Dubai, the Burj Khalifa itself, Dubai Mall, and Dubai Creek Harbour, The Residence delivers just 35 apartments with direct pedestrian access to Fashion Avenue and The Dubai Mall. Emaar Properties, founded in 1997, has delivered over 93,000 residential units across six continents. The Residence represents the most exclusive tier of that portfolio: a building that shares its address, its structure, and its identity with the Burj Khalifa. Downtown Dubai spans 500 acres at a development cost exceeding AED 73 billion. This building sits at its centre.

The Residence Downtown: Ultra-Luxury 3 to 7-Bedroom Apartments

The Residence offers 3, 4, 5, and 7-bedroom apartments ranging from 5,735 to 15,908 sq.ft. Only three homes share each floor. Every apartment includes a balcony with views of the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Fountain, or the Downtown skyline. Layouts include open and wet kitchens, wine cellars, formal and informal living rooms, and dedicated maid’s suites housed within the building’s core. Select configurations add private offices, billiard rooms, and gaming rooms. Master bedrooms feature walk-in closets and oversized en-suite bathrooms. Interior finishes use the finest wall and floor materials, branded sanitary ware, and fittings that Emaar describes as “urban chic and modernity.” At 5,000+ sq.ft minimum, the smallest unit here is larger than most Dubai penthouses.

Prime Location in Downtown Dubai with Walkable Landmarks

Downtown Dubai occupies two of the most valuable square kilometres on the planet flanked by Sheikh Zayed Road to the west and Financial Centre Road to the east. The Dubai Mall, directly accessible from The Residence via Fashion Avenue, houses 1,300 retail outlets, 200 restaurants, Reel Cinemas, Dubai Aquarium, and the Dubai Ice Rink. The Dubai Fountain performs nightly across the Burj Khalifa Lake. Dubai Opera sits a 5-minute walk south. The Opera District, Burj Plaza, and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard form the surrounding neighbourhood. For residents of The Residence, every major Downtown landmark is walkable. There is no commute to the centre of the city. You are already there.
