The first branded residences in the United Arab Emirates, Sofitel Residences Downtown Dubai, are being introduced by the pioneer of French luxury hospitality, Sofitel. There are seventy residences that offer the conveniences of home combined with the services of a five-star hotel.
The project, which was introduced in collaboration with Azha Development and Dubai Sotheby’s International Realty, is located close to the Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa.
You can enjoy access to renowned boutiques, top-notch dining establishments, and cultural attractions from Sofitel Residences Downtown Dubai.
Every living area will feature a distinctive fusion of contemporary French design and Middle Eastern culture.
“As we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Sofitel brand throughout 2024, this project marks an exciting new chapter for us, bringing our signature French zest and heartfelt service to the real estate market in Dubai,” said Maud Bailly, CEO of Sofitel, Sofitel Legend, MGallery, and Emblems.
“Sofitel Residences Downtown Dubai will set a new standard in luxury living, offering an unmatched lifestyle experience in one of the city’s most exclusive areas.
“With Sofitel’s rich heritage and our ongoing commitment to redefining luxury living, this project is the perfect fit for the branded residences market.
“We are thrilled to welcome future residents to this unparalleled living experience in one of the world’s most vibrant cities.”
A wealth of first-rate facilities are available to residents of the 64 apartments and six outstanding penthouses, including a health club with a gorgeous 15-meter swimming pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a café, and an immersive movie room.
To guarantee that residents enjoy an elevated lifestyle, additional services like personal chefs, childcare, in-residence housekeeping, and 24/7 concierge and valet services are available. These à la carte options are inspired by Sofitel’s French zest.
With a focus on real estate and a diversification of business lines, this new residential development enhances Sofitel’s position in the UAE’s luxury market.
Jean-Baptiste Recher, Regional Vice President of Development for Accor’s Luxury Brands based in Dubai, said: “Sofitel brings key aspects to this real estate project, such as brand reputation, luxury service standards like concierge, spa, kids club, screening room and a cafe, among other services that make this project a standout offering in the luxury segment.
“With its strategic location, we are confident it will be a success, for both homeowners seeking a luxury product, services and experiences as well as for investors and supporting business partners.”
Behind this historic project is Azha Properties, a company renowned for its innovative approach to creating mixed-use real estate throughout the United Arab Emirates.
Imad Dana, CEO of Azha Properties, said: “The Sofitel Residences Downtown Dubai places residents in the heart of the city’s iconic Downtown district.
“They will be able to feel the pulse of this vibrant city while enveloped in the sense of tranquillity offered by the residences.”
This exclusive project, which is being supported in large part by Dubai Sotheby’s International Realty in its sales and marketing efforts, represents a new chapter in the branded residences market in Dubai.
As the go-to agency for branded homes in Dubai, Sotheby’s has elevated the city’s luxury real estate market and broken sales records thanks to their unrivaled expertise in super-prime real estate.
Accor One Living, an industry-first 360º platform dedicated to the development, design, and management of mixed-use projects and branded homeowner communities, provides support to Sofitel Residences Downtown Dubai.
Homeowners, visitors, and partners can access Accor’s wide range of brands, know-how, and solutions through Accor One Living, which opens up a never-ending stream of new opportunities for living, working, and playing.
It is anticipated that Sofitel Residences Downtown Dubai will be finished by Q4 2026. This project fits into Sofitel’s larger plan to increase the amount of luxury real estate it owns in the area. The recently opened Sofitel Al Hamra Beach Resort in Ras Al Khaimah, Sofitel Dubai the Palm, Sofitel Dubai Downtown, Sofitel Dubai the Obelisk, and Sofitel Dubai Jumeirah Beach are among Sofitel’s properties in the United Arab Emirates in addition to the new residences.
