Overview

Project brief

A 58-STOREY TOWER WITH DIRECT VIEWS OF THE BURJ KHALIFA AND THE DUBAI FOUNTAIN

Burj Royale is a residential tower by Emaar in Downtown Dubai, Emaar's flagship district built around the Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall, Dubai Opera and Burj Park. The tower is set alongside the Old Town district and Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, and holds 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments.

At 58 storeys, Burj Royale was positioned by Emaar as the last residential tower with direct views of the Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Fountain. Its design breaks into two layers — a low-rise, traditional foreground façade transitioning into a contemporary high-rise structure above. Homes are finished with full-height window walls that flood the rooms with daylight and frame the Downtown skyline; the brochure lists a fully equipped gymnasium, a swimming pool set against the backdrop of the Burj Khalifa, barbecue areas and a rooftop observation deck. On the Emaar floor plans, total unit areas run from 581.68 to 792.76 square feet for 1-bedroom apartments, 927.20 to 1,108.57 square feet for 2-bedroom apartments and 1,311.90 to 1,684.98 square feet for 3-bedroom apartments.

Construction ran from February 2019 to October 2022, so the building trades on the secondary market rather than off-plan. Figures below reflect completed-building resale data rather than a developer launch.

UNIT MIX & SIZES

Unit type	Suite area (sq ft)	Balcony / terrace (sq ft)	Total area (sq ft)
1-Bedroom	543.47 – 605.58	30.78 – 192.89	581.68 – 792.76
2-Bedroom	858.21 – 964.66	42.63 – 208.39	927.20 – 1,108.57
3-Bedroom	1,195.44 – 1,306.63	73.84 – 378.35	1,311.90 – 1,684.98

Areas are taken from the Emaar Burj Royale floor-plan pack, which publishes every layout with its suite, balcony and total area; the pack labels the total column "unit area", and it is suite plus balcony or terrace. All 100 published rows have been checked against their own arithmetic in both units — suite plus balcony equals the total, and square metres times 10.7639 equals square feet. One row is misprinted in the pack itself: a two-bedroom type B2 suite is given as 853.79 sq ft on one page and 889.96 sq ft on another, and both its total (998.24 sq ft) and its metric figure (82.68 sq m) confirm 889.96 is the correct one, so the 853.79 figure is excluded here. The same pack sets out which levels carry terraces and which carry balconies within each tier, so the area a given unit achieves depends on its floor.

THE INVESTMENT CASE

Burj Royale is a completed, standard-tier brief: the angle below is qualitative. Where the live Dubai Land Department transaction feed for Downtown Dubai is available, current pricing and PSF trends will be shown alongside — those figures are the basis for any comparison, not the estimates below.

DEVELOPER: EMAAR, ONE OF DUBAI'S MOST ESTABLISHED DEVELOPERS

Burj Royale is developed by Emaar, the developer behind many of Dubai's landmark destinations. Emaar reported revenue of AED 49.6 billion for 2025 and, with a proven delivery track record, has delivered over 125,600 residential units across Dubai and other global markets since 2002. Its portfolio includes Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall. As a delivered building, Burj Royale carries none of the completion uncertainty of an off-plan purchase.

LOCATION: DOWNTOWN DUBAI, AT THE FOOT OF THE BURJ KHALIFA

Downtown Dubai is Emaar's flagship district, built around the Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall, Dubai Opera and Burj Park. Burj Royale sits by the Old Town district and Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, within minutes of The Dubai Mall, the Boulevard's dining, Dubai Opera and the Burj Lake fountain show. The position combines a landmark central address with direct access to the district's retail, dining and cultural anchors.

APPLICABLE STRATEGIES

Buy-and-hold for rental / short-let — a completed Downtown tower at the foot of the Burj Khalifa supports both long-let and holiday-let demand; yields to be confirmed against current rental evidence.
Owner-occupation — a move-in-ready home in Dubai's flagship central district.
Secondary-market entry — as a delivered building, units can be inspected and income assessed before purchase, unlike an off-plan launch.

RISKS & WATCHPOINTS

Secondary-market pricing — pricing is set by individual resellers and varies by floor, view and condition; entry points should be verified on current PSF, not indicative figures. A confirmed Burj Khalifa or fountain view carries a premium over other orientations.
Downtown premium — Downtown Dubai prices at a premium to most of the city; the entry point should be weighed against that premium.
Service charges — central, landmark-district towers typically carry higher service charges, which affect net yield.
Supply — Downtown Dubai and the surrounding districts have an active delivery pipeline; concurrent handovers nearby can affect resale and rental pricing.

Method & questions

HOW TO READ THIS PAGE

Two different things sit on this page: transaction evidence taken from the Dubai Land Department’s public register, and the mechanics of buying in Dubai. The four notes below explain how the figures were built and what they can fairly be used for.

Registered, not askedEvery Dubai Land Department figure on this page comes from a sale that completed and was entered on the public register. Asking prices, portal listings and developer price lists are excluded: they record what someone hoped for, not what was paid.
Medians, not averagesProject samples are often thin, and a single penthouse or one bulk-discounted floor will pull an average a long way off. The median — the middle transaction — describes the typical unit far more reliably at these sample sizes. The count behind each figure is always shown so you can judge how much weight it deserves.
Sales only“Sales” means arm’s-length sales. Intra-family and other “Gift” transfers are excluded, as are rows registered at zero or nominal consideration, because neither is evidence of a market price.
A dated snapshotThese are a snapshot at the date stated beside them, taken from one extract of the register rather than queried live. A figure for this project quoted elsewhere, or taken from a different extract, may not match what you see here.

Common questions

What does buying off-plan at Burj Royale involve?

Off-plan means contracting with the developer before the building is finished. In outline: you reserve the unit, sign the developer’s Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA), and pay in instalments tied to construction milestones rather than in a single sum at the start.

Buyer payments on an off-plan sale in Dubai are made into a project escrow account regulated under Dubai Law No. 8 of 2007, and are released to the developer against verified construction progress. The developer registers the sale with the Dubai Land Department. The contract is between you and Emaar; we act as broker, not as principal.

What is the 4% DLD transfer fee, and who pays it?

The Dubai Land Department charges a property registration (transfer) fee of 4% of the price recorded on the contract, plus a fixed administrative charge. That is the rate in force as at July 2026. The statutory position splits the fee between buyer and seller; established market practice in Dubai is that the buyer pays the whole 4%.

Developers sometimes offer to absorb part or all of it on off-plan sales. Treat that as real only where it is written into the sale documents, not where it appears in marketing. Budget separately for the registration trustee charge, the Oqood registration fee on off-plan units, and — if you are borrowing — mortgage registration at 0.25% of the loan amount.

What is an Oqood registration, and is it the same as a title deed?

No. Oqood is the Dubai Land Department’s registration system for property that is not yet complete. When you buy off-plan, the developer lodges the SPA through Oqood, your interest is recorded on the interim property register, and you receive an initial registration certificate.

The title deed is a separate and later document, issued once the project is complete and the unit is formally transferred into your name. An off-plan purchase that is never registered leaves you off that interim register, so ask for evidence of Oqood registration once your first payment has cleared.

Can a non-UAE buyer own a unit outright?

In Dubai’s designated freehold areas, yes. Regulation No. 3 of 2006 sets out the areas in which non-UAE nationals may hold freehold title or a long lease; outside those areas ownership is restricted to UAE and GCC nationals. Ownership does not depend on holding UAE residency, and no local partner is required.

Tenure attaches to the plot rather than to a development’s marketing, so confirm what is recorded against the specific unit — freehold or leasehold, and the remaining term if leasehold — before you sign.

What happens at handover?

Once the building is complete and the completion certificate issued, you are called for handover: you inspect the unit (the snagging inspection), the developer addresses the defects listed, you settle the final instalment and any outstanding fees, and the unit is transferred into your name with a title deed issued.

Annual service charges begin at handover. They are levied per square foot at a rate approved by the regulator, so they are a recurring cost rather than a one-off. If you intend to let the unit, allow for the interval between handover and the first tenancy — a vacant unit earns nothing, and gross yield is annual rent measured against the purchase price, before those costs are taken off. Emaar gives completion for Burj Royale as Oct 2022; off-plan completion dates can move, and the SPA governs the position.

Where do the Dubai Land Department figures on this page come from?

They are drawn from the Dubai Land Department’s public transaction register — sales actually registered against Burj Royale, rather than asking prices, portal listings or developer price lists. They are a dated extract of the register, not a live query: the extract date is printed with the figures, and everything on this page is calculated from that single extract.

The number of sales behind every figure is shown alongside it. A median drawn from a handful of registrations carries far less weight than one drawn from several hundred, and should be read that way.

Who is Mitchell’s Realty, and how are you paid?

Mitchell’s Realty is the trading brand. The RERA-licensed brokerage behind it is The Luxury Real Estate Brokers LLC.

On developer off-plan sales the commission is paid by the developer. On resale transactions the brokerage fee is agreed with you in writing before terms are signed. We will confirm how we are paid on any specific transaction before you commit to it.

Please note. The above is general information about how transactions work in Dubai, not legal, tax or financial advice, and it is not a recommendation to buy. Fee rates, tenure rules and residency requirements change, and your own position may differ. Take your own independent legal and tax advice before you commit to a purchase.
