60-storey mixed-use complex in Downtown Dubai, completed in 2019. Developer — Emaar Properties. Architect — Norr Group Consultants International Ltd.
Specifications for Vida Residence Downtown per Propsearch and the Dubai Land Department. They describe the whole building, not the individual unit.
Vida Residence Downtown is a 60-storey mixed-use complex in Downtown Dubai, completed in 2019.
The developer is Emaar Properties. The architecture is by Norr Group Consultants International Ltd.
The building holds 320 apartments in total.
The database currently holds 1 lot in this project, from 4,800,000 AED; 1 of them priced below the market, the deepest discount 8%.
A 60-storey Emaar tower in Downtown with 320 residences under the Vida brand, complete. Fourteen of our lots, five confirmed amenities, and seven of our own photographs.
Vida Residence Downtown is a residential skyscraper in Downtown Dubai developed by Emaar Properties, designed by Norr Group Consultants International. 60 storeys, 320 residences, complete. The factsheet confirms a pool, a gym, a kids' area, a retail gallery and restaurants.
Vida is Emaar's own hotel brand, aimed at a younger, business-minded audience. Here the operator and the developer are the same group, which matters: one owner answers for both timing and service.
Our own archive holds seven photographs of the building — they're shown on the page ahead of the propsearch images.
The amenity set is complete for a Downtown building, and the arithmetic is moderate: those amenities are shared across a bit more than three hundred owners. That's more costly than in a thousand-unit building, but cheaper than in a small boutique project.
Our fourteen listings run from AED 1.48 to 8.5 million, at an average price per square foot of around 3,264 — slightly below the district's 3,500. That's unusual for a branded building, where the brand typically means a premium.
The lower end, at AED 1.48 million, is very low for Downtown. Check exactly what's being sold: it's almost certainly a compact studio, and it should be compared by price per square foot rather than judged on the headline number.
The building is complete, which means everything is checkable: the finish, the condition of shared areas, whether the advertised amenities actually work, and how full the car park gets in the evening. Rental income starts from month one.
The standard check for a branded property still applies: establish the unit type — an ordinary apartment or one under mandatory operator management.

Downtown Dubai. The Burj Khalifa district — the most recognisable address in the emirate and the densest piece of it.

What has been written about the building, its developer and Downtown Dubai
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.
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.
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 send the available layouts, the real entry price and what owners and tenants actually say about the building — without the brochure language.
