Nakheel launches Ibn Battuta Residences

dubai - The two 48-floor buildings are anticipated for delivery in fourth quarter of 2019

Nakheel on Tuesday unveiled Ibn Battuta Residences, a new, a twin-tower complex with 531 luxury apartments, to be built next to Ibn Battuta Mall in Dubai.

The project, launched on the first day of Cityscape Global real estate exhibition, will transform the skyline of Jebel Ali with two 48-floor buildings anticipated for delivery in fourth quarter of 2019.

Located just off Sheikh Zayed Road, the residences will be adjacent to Nakheel's Ibn Battuta Mall, providing on-the-doorstep access to more than 400 shops, restaurants and entertainment facilities. The towers will also be within walking distance of the Dubai Metro, Ibn Battuta Bus Station and Jebel Ali park.

Offering sea and city views, Ibn Battuta Residences will comprise 395 two bedroom and 136 three bedroom apartments, some with balconies and a maid's room.  There will also be a podium-level health and recreation complex featuring a landscaped pool deck complete with pools for adults and children, and a gym, as well as four levels of car parking with 900 spaces.

Nakheel chairman Ali Rashid Lootah said Ibn Battuta Residences are strategically located at one of the fast-growing areas in Dubai.

"The apartments - the highest standard of accommodation available in Jebel Ali - are ideally placed for people who work at the nearby Jebel Ali Freezone or Dubai South, and, being less than an hour by car from Abu Dhabi, offer a convenient address for those who regularly travel to the capital," Lootah said.

Ibn Battuta Residences is the latest addition to Nakheel's residential leasing portfolio.
