Sale of 16 penthouses at Residences begins today

The 3, 4 and 5 bedroom, 2,900 to 7,000 sq ft penthouse apartments, with extensive sweeping terraces, go on sale at the Downtown Living presentation centre within the Burj Dubai Development. Sales are on a first-come, first-served basis.

"The Penthouses are the ultimate in luxury," said Naaman Atallah, Emaar Properties' Director of Sales. "These are some of the most desirable properties in Dubai and are a match for the best. Middle East lifestyle will be redefined by these apartments."

"The privileged few who will be able to call The Residences home will live in one of the most coveted urban developments located in close proximity to top class leisure, dining, entertainment and business facilities," Atallah added.

Owners are the only ones to have access to their floor at The Penthouses, while double glazed windows and an advanced security system provide them unblemished privacy. Whereas terraces lead from the master bedroom and enable the privileged owner to enjoy the spectacular views, appliances with luxury brand names, timber veneer cabinetry in the kitchen and superior finishes add to this statement of luxury.

The six towers that make up The Residences are located within the heart of the Burj Dubai Development between The Boulevard and the man-made lake. They offer modern urban living, embrace the latest technology and use the finest materials and cutting edge design to create individually styled apartments.

Facilities for residents include swimming pools, a squash court, a golf simulation room, fitness centre, a mini theatre, library, business centre and guest suite. The homes also feature the latest in IT and communications technology, 24-hour security and maintenance, basement parking and a concierge.

The 500-acre mixed use Burj Dubai Development is Emaar's most ambitious project to date combining commercial, residential, hotel, entertainment, shopping and leisure outlets in open green spaces dotted with lakes and numerous water features. Along with the Burj Dubai - the world's tallest tower, the development will also include The Old Town, The Dubai Mall, The Old Town Island, The Burj Dubai Boulevard, Burj Dubai Business Hub, Burj Dubai Lake Hotel and Serviced Apartments, The Residences and Burj Views - all located on the banks of a spectacular man-made lake.
