What it is

Zanzebeel 1 is a 4-storey residential building in Old Town, the historic quarter at the foot of the Burj Khalifa, status "complete". Developer and year aren't listed in the building record.

In our stock there's a unit of about 820 square feet for AED 2.05 million, a price per square foot of AED 2,500.

Old Town is one of the first phases built around Downtown, styled after traditional Arabian architecture.

Low-rise building at the foot of the tower

Downtown in our database has 366 lots, with a median of AED 4.5 million at an average price per square foot of AED 3,720. Zanzebeel 1 sits noticeably below that average.

Old Town is part of the wider Downtown area, but low-rise and stylistically separate: four storeys against the dozens in the neighbouring towers. The view of the Burj Khalifa here is a street-level one, not a panorama from height.

This kind of low-rise development is older than most of the rest of the district and holds a price below average for the same reasons as other early complexes: age, and the absence of a high-floor view.

What to check is condition — the complex is one of the oldest in this part of the city — and what's included in the service fee for dense, low-rise construction.
