Emaar launches Attareen in Downtown Burj Dubai

01 December 2006

Emaar Properties has launched the second phase of The Old Town Island – the Attareen – in Downtown Burj Dubai.

With over 50 per cent of construction work already completed, the 88 exclusive apartments feature Arabian architectural styles in a modern setting.
A low-rise development, The Old Town Island has four quarters – Al Bahar, Tajer, Attareen and The Palace Hotel, Old Town. The launch of Attareen follows the sell-out success of Tajer, the first phase, says a spokesman for the developer.
“Attareen Residences integrates residences and boutique offices within a landscaped environment featuring gardens and pools,” says Bahiya Kayed, assistant director of sales, Emaar Properties. “With only 88 apartments, Attareen is ideal for potential home-owners who seek an exclusive retreat within Downtown Burj Dubai.”
To be ready for hand-over in summer 2007, the seven-level Attareen quarter is pedestrian-friendly and will have a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments apart from 8,000 sq m of boutique offices and 500 parking bays. Each unit has a distinctive layout, thus providing homeowners with individualised style choices.
The residences offer some of the best views of Burj Dubai, billed to be the tallest tower in the world when completed in 2008. Proximity to The Dubai Mall, the world’s largest mall, and the Burj Dubai Business Hub add to the development’s convenience factor. Also close by is The Palace Hotel, Old Town.
When completed, The Old Town Island, with a development value of Dh1.3 billion ($353 million), will have 405 apartments, 161 hotel rooms, 83 suites, 2,100 parking bays, 15 restaurants and cafes, 89 shops, 130,000 sq ft of boutique spaces and four pools. Overall, the project will feature 1,250 sq m of water features, 18,600 sq m of landscaping and 83,000 sq m of parking.
