Emaar introduces the latest must-have Burj Dubai tower

Emaar Properties recently introduced 8 Boulevard Walk, the latest in a series of high quality residential towers that help to make up the 500-acre Burj Dubai - the most prestigious square kilometre in the world.

Following in the successful footsteps of The Residences - its high-rise neighbours and The Lofts - the trendy urban living option, 8 Boulevard Walk is now open for public sales. Prospective buyers can visit the model apartment and view the scale model at the Downtown Living Presentation Centre located within the Burj Dubai.

A stones throw away from the Burj Dubai Boulevard – a 3.5 km long, 73 metre wide pedestrian avenue connecting parks, trees and water features and thronged with street cafes, boutiques and world restaurants - the 35-storey tower will consist of studio, one and two bedroom apartments ranging from 465 to 1,408 sq ft.

Raised from a five storey podium, 8 Boulevard Walk will offer residents retail shops on the ground floor as well as amenities ranging from a swimming pool, children’s pool and fully equipped gymnasium. A secure parking facility is provided via basement and podium level parking in addition to a security video intercom system from the building entrance to each individual apartment.

Naaman Atallah, Director of Sales for Emaar Properties, said: “8 Boulevard Walk is a unique living experience as well as an exceptional investment opportunity and promises to appeal to those looking to invest in affordable, yet high quality apartments in an exclusive neighbourhood like no other.”

Combining stylish interiors and quality kitchen and utility appliances, Emaar has created the ideal living space for young business executives or couples looking to invest in property. Apartments also offer exceptionally large balconies where residents can spend time admiring the views across the Burj Dubai, feel the fresh air, watch the world go by or simply put their feet up and dream.

Added Atallah: “Situated off the Burj Dubai Boulevard, which encircles some of Dubai’s best views including the awe inspiring Burj Dubai tower and downtown area, 8 Boulevard Walk offers a world of choice and opportunity on your door step.”

Residents of 8 Boulevard Walk can expect to take full advantage of the extensive commercial, residential, hotel, entertainment, shopping and leisure facilities along with parks and open green spaces dotted with lakes and numerous water features that make up the mixed use Burj Dubai. In addition, the forthcoming Burj Dubai Metro will stop at the district and help to make traffic a thing of the past.
