Emaar Properties will launch Opera Grand, a premium and first residential tower in The Opera District, a new cultural hub being developed by the developer in Downtown Dubai, on May 10.

The 66-storey residential tower will feature over 200 luxuriously appointed 2, 3 and 4-bedroom apartments.

All of them overlook Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Fountain, and Dubai Opera, a 2,000-seat multi-format venue for opera, theatre, concerts, art exhibitions, orchestra, film, sports events and seasonal programmes.

Opera Grand also features a high-end retail podium connected by an overhead link bridge, which offers uninterrupted views of Burj Park.

Opera Grand is designed to be an architectural masterpiece in harmony with its inspiring cultural environment. It also has a rooftop swimming pool that offers breath-taking views of Downtown Dubai, in addition to a modern health club, it said.

The Opera District will feature luxury hotels, elegantly designed serviced apartments, a retail plaza, waterfront promenades, recreational spaces and parks. Clustered around are design studios, art galleries, and other cultural venues that bring Opera Grand residents in close proximity to Dubai’s vibrant cultural scene.

Ahmad Al Matrooshi, managing director of Emaar Properties, said: “The Opera District is one of the most defining new developments by Emaar that focuses on creating a compelling arts and cultural destination in the heart of the city. With Dubai’s cultural scene gaining strong interest internationally, and a number of arts events welcoming thousands of cultural tourists to Dubai, The Opera District is uniquely positioned to provide a new lifestyle choice. Opera Grand is our first residential project in this iconic district, and will offer tremendous value for the discerning customers.”  -TradeArabia News Service
