BLVD Heights

Two towers modelled on the skylines of New York and Chicago

Emaar completed BLVD Heights in 2020 on Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, the main artery running through Downtown Dubai. The project consists of two towers, one 53 storeys and the other 46, linked by a shared podium. The developer's marketing draws a direct line to the buildings of Manhattan and Chicago, a reference that shows up in the sharp verticality of the facades and the way the towers meet the street. The scheme includes apartments from 1 to 4 bedrooms, with townhouses at the lower levels and penthouses on the top floors. Everything is sold freehold, five minutes from Dubai Mall.

Five minutes from Dubai Mall, walking distance to Souk Al Bahar

The location is the main selling point of BLVD Heights. The towers sit right on the boulevard with no perimeter wall, so residents can walk to the Dubai Fountain, Souk Al Bahar and Dubai Mall. It's about five minutes by car to the mall, ten to Dubai Canal, and roughly twenty to Dubai Marina. Nearby hotels, including the Armani Hotel inside Burj Khalifa and The Palace Downtown, put five star services within a short stroll. The link to the emirate's main road network makes it easy to reach the rest of the city.

Floor to ceiling windows facing Burj Khalifa

Every unit has full height glazing facing the skyline, Burj Khalifa and the fountain. Interiors follow an open plan layout with generous built in storage, plus custom kitchens and bathrooms. The developer highlights textured surfaces and a neutral tone palette throughout the finishes. Penthouses at the top come with private outdoor terraces overlooking the city centre. The lobby and adjoining cafes carry the boulevard's street level energy into the building, keeping a sense of continuity between the road and the residence.

Landscaped pool and 24 hour concierge on the podium

Resident amenities are grouped on the upper levels of the podium. There's an infinity pool set among green landscaping, a gym, children's play areas and several lounge zones. The lobby offers a 24 hour concierge service and a reception lounge. The lower podium levels host a public plaza and retail units, designed to open the base of the building onto the surrounding neighbourhood. Barbecue areas, private lounges, walking paths and high speed internet round out the offering. The whole complex faces the boulevard rather than turning inward.

Right next to the Opera District and Dubai Opera

BLVD Heights sits on the edge of the Opera District, the cultural quarter Downtown Dubai has built around Dubai Opera, a 2,000 seat multi format venue. This fully pedestrian district, reachable straight from Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, mixes housing, offices and leisure. The podium's retail spaces were planned to tie into this growing cultural offer. Dining options in the area are already well established, with names like La Serre and the Japanese restaurant Toko. For a buyer, the appeal lies in this rare combination of a residential tower sitting right next to a dedicated arts scene.

Built for expats and premium tenants in the city centre

The target profile is clear: expat professionals, families already settled in Downtown, and investors after a finished asset in the city centre. The mix of unit types, from one bedroom apartments to four bedroom penthouses, widens the pool of potential tenants. Emaar built most of Downtown Dubai and manages the community to its usual standards, which adds reassurance on long term operations. Having been completed since 2020, the project removes the construction risk that comes with off plan purchases. What's left is a dense, urban address suited to buyers who want to live right on the boulevard rather than set back from it.
