The tallest building in the world at 828 metres, and the centrepiece of Downtown Dubai. Its observation decks, the Dubai Fountain at its feet and the mall beside it make this the most visited square kilometre in the city.
Downtown trades at a premium precisely because of this address, and the premium has survived every cycle since 2010. For investors the practical read is the view corridor: units that face the tower and fountain rent and resell measurably better than identical floor plans facing away.
