General Description
Since 2004, when the developer Emaar began construction on an unprecedented project, the whole world has been following the progress of its implementation with interest. According to the creators, Burj Khalifa is the centerpiece of the new Downtown Dubai freehold area, which includes business buildings, shopping complexes, hotels, and housing, as well as one of the largest and tallest fountains in the world – the Dubai Fountain.
Downtown Dubai is one of the unique urban concepts and the largest urban development in the Middle East. The complex development around the Burj Khalifa skyscraper has already received the unofficial title of the most exclusive and expensive square mile on Earth, with a total construction investment estimated at USD 23 billion. On an area of more than 200 hectares, there will be about 30,000 apartments with the most recognizable address on the planet. Naturally, the most prestigious are the apartments in the Burj Khalifa skyscraper itself.
In sharp contrast to the skyscrapers rushing upward is the low-rise Old Town residential complex, located on the opposite side of the Burj Khalifa fountain, consisting of 6 blocks. Low-rise, 3-5 story buildings, made in the traditional Arabic style, immerse their residents in a leisurely rhythm of life filled with the spirit of traditions. Becoming an owner of real estate in Dubai in this area is a dream of many people.
The area is comprised of:
- residential and office complexes with a height of 3-162 floors,
- apartments,
- hotel apartments,
- offices.
Infrastructure
Near the Burj Khalifa building is one of the world’s largest shopping centers, The Dubai Mall, with an area of more than 1,1 million square meters. On its territory, there are:
- about 1,500 shops,
- more than 150 cafes and restaurants,
- a 22-screen cinema,

It was opened in November 2008 and has since become one of the most popular shopping and leisure destinations for both tourists and residents. At the foot of Burj Khalifa lies the Dubai Fountain, one of the world’s largest and tallest musical fountains. The height of its jets reaches 150 meters (about 50 floors).
