This ultra-luxury branded residence overlooks the iconic Burj Khalifa and includes 49 apartments, with two to five bedrooms, situated across 24 floors.

The Baccarat Residences are owned by Shamal, which will collaborate closely with H&H Development on the project.

George Azar, Chairman and CEO of Luxhabitat Sotheby’s International Realty, said: “We have seen a major uplift in the branded residences component and the demand in prime areas combined with the demand for a premium brand is not based on the market rules.

“At Luxhabitat Sotheby’s International Realty, we have done our pricing matrix based on selling branded residences across the globe and we have unmatched experience on how to find the right buyers on our global database.

“Three of the buyers for the Exclusive Baccarat Residences in Downtown Dubai are already owners of Baccarat residences in New York and Miami showing that the product is suited for avid collectors.”
