Asteco, one of the region’s leading real estate firms, has been appointed exclusive leasing agent for Duja Tower, a unique building owned by Nasser Lootah Real Estate in the very heart of Dubai’s business district.

Prominently located along Sheikh Zayed Road, opposite Emirates Towers and Dubai World Trade Centre, Duja (meaning 'just before dawn') is a G+52 mixed-use tower made up of nine retail units on the ground floor, 11 offices on the first floor, and over 650 modern and high-class apartments, said a statement from Asteco.

Its key amenities include a prestigious health club located on the 51st floor, which enjoys spectacular views across the Dubai landscape; as well as an infinity pool, separate spas for men and women, a children’s play area, gym and 24-hour concierge and security services.

Retail Stores are located on the ground floor, while there is also parking spaces for approximately 700 vehicles in a separate 11-storey building to the rear of the tower. Metro stations, World Trade Centre and Emirates Towers, are also within easy access.

Kieran Burley, the head of commercial and project leasing at Asteco, said: "The property is ideally located right in the centre of Dubai’s business district, within easy reach of DIFC, Downtown Dubai and Business Bay."

"It also ensures easy access to the popular recreational destinations within the city, including beautiful parks, pristine beaches and the world class Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa," noted Burley.

“Apartments boast high ceilings and huge glass windows with balconies providing a light and refreshing environment, while offering breath-taking urban views,” he added.

Tenants can choose from a range of spacious one- to three-bedroom apartments, starting at Dh90,000 ($24,498) per annum for a 1,060-sq-ft one-bedroom; Dh125,000 for a 1,361-sq-ft two-bedroom; or Dh170,000 for a 2,351-sq-ft three-bedroom apartment.

Already, 25 of the properties have been leased by Asteco, said the statement.

Riyadh Davids, the general manager of Nasser Lootah Real Estate, said: "Duja Tower is a residential address of distinction, with attractive rental rates, matching the average for this area of the town."

"Extending some 191 m high, the tower is marked at quarter points along the vertical elevation by luxurious sky lobbies, which provide cascading points of interest leading to a glazed dome at its top symbolising the clear dawn skies of its desert setting," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
