District character
Built around the Burj Khalifa.
Downtown Dubai is Emaar's flagship district, a planned centre laid out around the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Fountain and The Dubai Mall. Boulevards and low-rise Old Town quarters sit beneath the towers, so a short walk takes you from a residential lobby to the lake, the souk or the opera house. It is one of the most visited addresses in the city, and one of the most tightly held.
The homes run from serviced Address and Kempinski residences to Boulevard apartments and Old Town townhouses, most facing either the Burj Khalifa or the open lake. Values have held firmly through recent cycles, and rental demand stays deep across every size band, from studios to large family floors.

Frequently asked
Downtown Dubai, in plain terms.
What sort of returns does Downtown Dubai give?
Downtown is a blue-chip rental market rather than a high-yield one. Studios and one-beds are the strongest earners, while larger homes trade more on capital growth and prestige than on yield. The Numbers section above sets out current gross figures by size, drawn from registered DLD leases and sales.
Is it a place to live, or mainly to let?
Both. The serviced residences and Old Town quarters attract long-term owner occupiers, while Boulevard and Address apartments let quickly to professionals and to short-stay guests drawn by the mall, the fountain and the opera. Demand stays deep across every size band.
What is there to do without leaving the district?
The Dubai Mall, the Dubai Fountain, Souk Al Bahar, Dubai Opera and Burj Park all sit inside Downtown, along with the observation decks of the Burj Khalifa. Most of it is walkable, and the metro links the rest of the city.
How do prices compare across the towers?
Old Town and Boulevard apartments are the entry point, the Address and Kempinski serviced residences sit at the top, and fountain or Burj Khalifa views carry a clear premium. Tell us your budget and preferred view and we will send a current shortlist that fits.
