About The Residences Tower 1

Location & views from The Residences Tower 1
Tower 1 sits on the inner-Mall side of The Residences cluster. The residents' indoor walkway to The Dubai Mall is the building's defining convenience — a 4-minute air-conditioned walk to Fashion Avenue. The Burj Khalifa view from Tower 1 is partially blocked by the Mall structure, so the tower's value is in convenience rather than panorama.
