Dubai’s iconic Burj Khalifa Tower continues to outperform the rest of the city when it comes to luxury property sales, according to a recent report. In 2023, 117 high-end homes in the Burj Khalifa sold for over 1 billion AED (272 million USD), an impressive 22% increase from the previous year.
The average sales price in the Burj Khalifa was also over 17% higher than in other areas of Dubai. Tower apartments sold for an average of 15 million AED last year, with one premium four-bedroom unit changing hands for a record-breaking 3,339 AED per square foot. This highlights global investors’ growing demand for luxury addresses in Downtown Dubai.
With households choosing to invest in real estate as a long-term asset, inventory levels fell sharply by 52% in 2023. Low supply coupled with steady international demand helped sustain price growth in Burj Khalifa, where the cost per square foot reached new heights of 4,852 AED on the most expensive sale.
Established in 2010, the Burj Khalifa’s iconic silhouette and prime location at the centre of Downtown Dubai have cemented its reputation as the emirate’s premier luxury residential destination. Over the past 14 years, apartments in the towering skyscraper have accounted for nearly 10 billion AED in transactions.
While Dubai’s overall real estate market saw average prices increase 38% since 2021, values within the Burj Khalifa surged by an impressive 55.4% – underscoring the heightened desirability of an address at the very top. As a global financial hub, Dubai attracts high-net-worth individuals seeking second homes and luxury branded properties.
The Burj Khalifa stands tall as the shining example of the tremendous opportunity for capital appreciation in Dubai’s high-end residential sector. With more international residents making the emirate their home every year, the iconic tower’s legacy and unrivalled sales records look set to endure.
