• 43-storey, 200m tower
• One of Sheikh Zayed Road’s earliest five-star hotels
• Completed in 2003

➡️💡 : The significance of this deal lies in scarcity.
Prime assets on Sheikh Zayed Road are rarely recreated and seldom change hands. As Dubai matures, institutional and private capital are increasingly competing for irreplaceable locations rather than simply pursuing new supply.
That evolution is characteristic of maturing global real estate markets.
