THE ADDRESS

The view is
the asset.

Downtown is Emaar’s showpiece. One walkable district around the world’s tallest tower, a lake and the Fountain.

Value here is about the outlook. Homes with a direct Burj or Fountain view are finite, and they hold their price. Branded residences, from Armani to Address, lead the market.

Freehold. DIFC and Business Bay next door. Metro at the Mall.
