A 14-storey Emaar building in Downtown Dubai at the foot of the Burj Khalifa, completed. Our two lots are priced at AED 21 million each — four times the district median.
The Residence Burj Khalifa is a residential building in Downtown Dubai by Emaar Properties. Fourteen storeys, completed. The factsheet does not give a unit count.
The name reflects its position: the building stands right next to the Burj Khalifa, at the very core of Downtown. Its low storey count here is not a drawback but a consequence of the location — the development around the tower was designed not to compete with it in height.
Both our listings in the building are priced at AED 21 million each, against Downtown's district median of AED 4.7 million and a price per square foot of around AED 3,500. That is four and a half times the median — meaning the building operates in a completely different segment from mass-market Downtown.
That price means large floor areas and an address that cannot be replicated: there are physically no residential buildings closer to the Burj Khalifa. The buyer here is not an investor with a compact studio for rent, but someone buying a specific place.
The practical consequence for a resale: the pool of buyers in this segment is narrow, and the time on market is not measured in weeks. Downtown's liquidity as a district does not extend to lots like this.
Walking distance to Dubai Mall, the fountains and the canal promenade — all a few minutes away. Downtown Dubai in our database counts 264 lots, the city's deepest market after Business Bay and Marina.
In exchange: density, tourist traffic and congestion getting out at rush hour. It is felt more strongly at Downtown's core than on its periphery, and it is worth checking yourself on a weekday evening.

What has been written about the building, its developer and Downtown Dubai
Therme Dubai, a 100 m tall wellness resort of about 500 000 sq ft, is planned for Zabeel Park at a cost of AED 2bn (about $545m). It expects 1.7 million visitors a year and is due to open in 2028. What it means for Zabeel, Downtown and the neighbouring districts.
Downtown is Dubai's tourist and status core, around AED 2 433/sqft on our own data. Business Bay is the business district next door, home to 17 000+ companies, around AED 1 871/sqft. We compare lifestyle, rental economics and who should pick which.
By mid-2026, new-build homes above 1 million rubles per square metre are selling in 14 Moscow districts — four more than a year earlier. In Dubai that same price level remains the preserve of just four addresses: Jumeirah Bay Island, Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Hills and Downtown Dubai.
The Boring Company’s Dubai Loop: a 6.4 km pilot with 4 stations between DIFC and Dubai Mall for about $154m, a full 22.5 km, 19-station network for about $545m. The RTA contract was signed in February 2026 and tunnelling is due in the second half of the year. What it means for buyers downtown.
It is easy to fall into two extremes about a cultural landmark next door — that it automatically lifts prices, or that it means nothing. Neither is right.
