Emaar Properties has announced the launch of a second ‘The Address’ branded tower in Downtown Dubai.
The Address Residence Sky View is a 50-storey hotel, residence and serviced apartment twin-tower complex atop a grand podium, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, architects of the Burj Khalifa.
The tower will be over 230m, and have 532 serviced apartments fully furnished with floor-to-ceiling windows. They will be linked directly to the Dubai Metro and The Dubai Mall via a new air-conditioned travelator. Sky View will also serve as a business hotel with about 180 rooms.
Mohamed Alabbar, chairman of Emaar Properties, in a statement, said: “The Address Residence Sky View will become the referral point for all future projects from design and architecture to its host of services, while focusing on creating prime real estate assets in Dubai that contribute to the city’s economy.”
Spanning the tower complex is a unique “Sky Bridge”, which includes a signature restaurant, ballroom, infinity pool with amenity deck that offers 360-degree vistas of Downtown Dubai and panoramic views of the Gulf. Emaar will hold the launch of the new tower simultaneously in Dubai and Riyadh, a move that aims to attract more Saudi investors.
