46-storey residential building in Downtown Dubai, completed in 2026. Developer — Shapoorji Pallonji International. Architect — Archon Consultants.
Imperial Avenue is a 46-storey residential building in Downtown Dubai, completed in 2026.
The developer is Shapoorji Pallonji International. The architecture is by Archon Consultants.
The building holds 424 apartments in total. Layouts, according to the developer's brochure — 3, 4 and 5 bedrooms.
The database currently holds 6 lots in this project, from 3 800 000 AED; 2 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 14%.
A 46-storey Shapoorji Pallonji tower in Downtown with 424 residences, complete. Our nineteen lots run from AED 3.45 to 25.5 million, at around AED 2,926 per square foot.
Imperial Avenue is a residential skyscraper in Downtown Dubai developed by Shapoorji Pallonji International, designed by Archon Consultants. 46 storeys, 424 residences, complete. The factsheet lists no confirmed amenities.
Shapoorji Pallonji is an Indian construction group with a history spanning more than a century and a half: the company was building in Mumbai long before Dubai's first skyscrapers went up. That's no guarantee for a buyer, but it does represent a different risk profile than a young local developer.
Our nineteen listings run from AED 3.45 to 25.5 million, at an average price per square foot of around 2,926. The Downtown Dubai average is around 3,500.
So the price here runs below the district average, even though the top of the range reaches AED 25.5 million. Read together, that points to large layouts without a brand premium: for the same money you get more space than in the branded towers nearby, where the price per square foot runs to 4,573 and 4,793.
Nineteen listings in one completed building is an excellent basis for comparison: you can see exactly how floor and size move the price within the building, and there's plenty of room to negotiate.
The absence of a hotel brand works in the buyer's favour on two counts. First, no logo premium. Second, no question over unit type either: every apartment is an ordinary residence, with no mandatory participation in an operator's management programme.
Downtown Dubai in our database holds 264 lots, with a median of AED 4.7 million: a deep, highly liquid market. Selling here is easier than in the newer districts.
Amenities missing from the passport are described in apartment materials for the building: several pools, the Sky Gym on the upper levels, and leisure and entertainment areas — the tower is marketed as a 'private resort'.
Kitchens come with built-in SMEG appliances, washing machine included. Layouts include corner three-bedrooms of around 177 m² with two balconies and Burj Khalifa views.

In 2025 the Dubai Land Department registered 42 sales in Imperial Avenue, at a median price of AED 3 009 425 (AED 2 436 per sq ft). Another 50 have been registered since the start of 2026.

What has been written about the building, its developer and Downtown Dubai
The Dubai arm of a construction group with a very long history. What a contractor’s lineage genuinely tells you about a building, and what it does not tell you about the sale.
Therme Dubai, a 100 m tall wellness resort of about 500 000 sq ft, is planned for Zabeel Park at a cost of AED 2bn (about $545m). It expects 1.7 million visitors a year and is due to open in 2028. What it means for Zabeel, Downtown and the neighbouring districts.
Downtown is Dubai's tourist and status core, around AED 2 433/sqft on our own data. Business Bay is the business district next door, home to 17 000+ companies, around AED 1 871/sqft. We compare lifestyle, rental economics and who should pick which.
By mid-2026, new-build homes above 1 million rubles per square metre are selling in 14 Moscow districts — four more than a year earlier. In Dubai that same price level remains the preserve of just four addresses: Jumeirah Bay Island, Palm Jumeirah, Emirates Hills and Downtown Dubai.
The Boring Company’s Dubai Loop: a 6.4 km pilot with 4 stations between DIFC and Dubai Mall for about $154m, a full 22.5 km, 19-station network for about $545m. The RTA contract was signed in February 2026 and tunnelling is due in the second half of the year. What it means for buyers downtown.
It is easy to fall into two extremes about a cultural landmark next door — that it automatically lifts prices, or that it means nothing. Neither is right.
A developer with buildings in both Downtown Dubai and Dubai Sports City. The oldest question in property investment, answered with the numbers that actually decide it.
A developer with a mid-size Downtown Dubai tower completed in 2018. What an ordinary building in an extraordinary district is worth, and how to price it honestly.
A developer with a small Downtown Dubai building from 2017. View premiums are large, real and frequently temporary — and whether yours survives is a matter of public record.
I will tell you which layouts are available now, what entry really costs and what the people who live in or let the building think of it — no marketing language.
