The
235-meter high Buildings by Daman located in the
heart of the DIFC precinct is a 65-floors mixed-use
residential and commercial complex, and will become
one of the most sought for addresses in Dubai.
It includes freehold apartments, offices, a luxury
hotel and retail space, encompassing 1.6 million
square feet of built up area surrounded by sculptured
gardens and water features.
The project will have a dedicated commercial tower
offering almost 50,000 square feet of prime office
space per floor with virtually no columns. This
unique floor layout yields approximately five
times the average commercial floor space on Sheikh
Zayed Road properties, and offers tenants a maximized
floor space plan with no irregular corners.
The
65 floors residential component has 1, 2, 3 bedroom
simplex and duplex apartments which will have
continuous sky-view terraces spread along the
length of each apartment.
The
apartments feature hardwood parquet floors in
the living, dining and bedroom areas, marble floors
in the kitchen areas and quarried stone flooring
in the bathrooms. All kitchens will have granite
countertops throughout and full white goods appliances
(Washer/dryer, refrigerator, dishwasher, oven
with hotplate cooking surfaces, microwave, under
sink disposal unit). The residential apartments
also have individual controlled temperature control
units in every room for comfort and user convenience.
The
complex has sky lobbies, two floors of dedicated
retail space with convenience stores tailored
to the needs of the tenants, up market restaurants,
cafés and dining areas. The complex will
also have a day care centre, a gym and selective
retail stores.
The
new Dubai Metro rail system will be linked to
the DIFC and will stop in the base of the commercial
building at Daman Station. The downtown location
and plans for a self-contained metro system in
DIFC, will add convenience and value to the tenants.
Planned to be operational by 2009 the metro is
among the additional features that are expected
to add value to the project.
The
Daman buildings will benefit from the unique vision
of DIFC to become a world class financial centre,
which has already attracted the most famous financial
institutions from all over the world. Many more
institutions are planning to set up their offices
in DIFC in the immediate future, producing a regular
increase in the request for offices, residential
units and real estate in this prominent financial
district.
