A multimillion-dirham pad in Dubai Marina’s most expensive tower is up for sale.
For Dh26 million, you can buy a penthouse that totals 6,370 square feet, and boasts four bedrooms and a maid’s room – as well as more than 20 other rooms.
The balcony of your new purchase offers views of the Jumeirah Palm, and allows you to look out on the tourists and beachgoers below. The tower is 210 metres tall, which means you will enjoy exceptional views over one of Dubai’s most exclusive neighbourhoods.
The pool’s temperature is controlled by hand. Your car is catered for with a custom valet service. There’s a gym, naturally.
Buyers will also have access to a 24-hour concierge service, and a private health club and spa.
The property was designed by Atkins, the company that was behind the design of the Burj Al Arab.
The penthouse is located next to Dubai Marina Mall, and the Ibn Battuta Mall, so shopping addicts will be well catered for. It is also next to the Dubai Marina walk, which means you will have plenty of beachside walking and waterfront dining to choose from.
The building won gongs after its opening from the Homes Overseas Awards. It was presented with the Gold Award for best luxury development, and won prizes for best use of technology, and best interior design.
You will be living in one of Dubai’s most exclusive districts, where high-flyers amble and stroll between artificial and natural shorelines.
