The Octagon, part of the billion-dollar City of Arabia, and the latest in a string of stunning buildings in Dubai, will be showcased to potential investors at the Cityscape Dubai.

The 'eight-sided wonder' is a 50-storey mixed-use development located within the prestigious City of Arabia, the spectacular $5 billion retail, residential, commercial and entertainment destination lying at the gateway to Dubailand.

Like the iconic Burj Al Arab or the towering Burj Dubai, The Octagon too is being billed as a unique feat of Middle Eastern architecture in both its concept and design, said a comapny official.

In addition to its attention-grabbing eight sides, it offers 32 levels of commercial and 18 levels of residential space, as well as studio and one-bedroom apartments ranging from 614 to 4, 000 sq ft. 

A number of duplex penthouses are also included in this breathtaking building. Central to the magnetic appeal of The Octagon is its superb location in City of Arabia, said the project owners Ilyas and Mustafa Galadari Group.

Ilyas Galadari, group chairman, said, “From your home or office in The Octagon, you are within walking distance of the vibrant waterfront shopping and entertainment district, Wadi Walk, comprising a wide array of stylish boutiques, cafes and restaurants, and from Mall of Arabia, the region’s largest shopping destination with more than 1,400 diverse retail outlets.'-TradeArabia News Service
