The buildings & facilities

The Residences is a cluster of nine buildings on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, developed by Emaar and finished in 2006–2007. Eight are residential towers — The Residences 1 and 3 to 9, also mapped as Burj Residences — and building 2 is a hotel-apartment block. Propsearch counts 1,056 apartments. The facilities below are the ones both Propsearch and Bayut list for the cluster; what you can use depends on the tower and the apartment.

Pools & gyms

Swimming pools and fitness centres serve the towers. Ask us which ones a given apartment can use.

Sports courts

Squash courts and a badminton court are listed for the cluster.

Residents' rooms

A mini-theatre, library, meeting room, business centre and day-care centre are listed for the cluster.

Concierge, security & parking

Concierge and 24-hour security, with four levels of parking under the podium. Parking arrangements differ by apartment — confirm before you arrive.

The Residences was developed by Emaar Properties and designed by Woods Bagot. This website is operated independently and is not affiliated with Emaar. Facility list: Propsearch and Bayut building guides — see the tower-by-tower page for sources.

Location

Location guide

The towers sit on a landscaped podium between Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard and Burj Park, on the south side of Burj Khalifa Lake. Distances vary by tower, so each figure is a range from the nearest to the farthest of the eight residential towers.

Open in Google Maps
  • Burj Parkabout 100–370 m
  • Dubai Fountainabout 330–450 mto the centre of the show area
  • Dubai Operaabout 250–600 m
  • Burj Khalifaabout 400–650 mto the tower itself
  • The Dubai Mallabout 950–1,050 mto the centre of the mall
  • Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Metroabout 900–1,250 m

Straight-line distances between each tower's footprint and the landmark on OpenStreetMap. Walking routes are longer because of road crossings and podium access — allow extra time.

Questions before you book

Can I book directly on this website?

Yes. Choose your dates in Check Availability to see which apartments are free and the total price for your stay, then book online. You don't need an account to search.

Is The Residences the same as Burj Residences?

Yes. The eight residential towers are mapped as Burj Residences 1 and 3 to 9 on OpenStreetMap, and some portals (for example Bayut's Tower 5 page) use the Burj Residences name too. Land Department records use names such as Residences_W1 and Residences_E2.

Is it the same building as The Residence Burj Khalifa?

No. The Residence Burj Khalifa is a separate, newer Emaar project (construction began in 2023). The Residences 1–9 were completed in 2006–2007.

Which tower is the tallest?

The Residences 1, with 42 floors according to The Skyscraper Center and Propsearch. The towers range from under 30 floors to 42 — see the tower-by-tower guide for each one.

Can I rent for a month or longer?

Yes. Open dates can be booked online for a month or more, and the search shows the total. For longer leases, send a monthly rental enquiry and we'll reply with apartments that are actually available.

Is this the official website of The Residences?

No. The Residences was developed by Emaar. We are an independent operator of furnished apartments and are not affiliated with Emaar.
