Apartments in Downtown Dubai are a prime address by Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, many with views of the city's signature tower. They're bought for rental income, capital growth and owner-occupation alike, for the prestige and walkability.
Apartments by Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall hold status and steady demand for both rentals and resale.
Prices within the district depend heavily on the tower and fountain view: neighbouring units can differ markedly.
Metro, Dubai Opera, dining and offices are close — apartment tenants don't need a car.
