Developer Omniyat is re-configuring The Pad in the Burj Khalifa District and will now offer furnished apartments, instead of just residential apartments under the original model.

Mark Phoenix, Omniyat’s Managing Director said: “The Pad, a 24-storey tower in the Burj Khalifa District featuring 231 luxury apartments, will be the new epitome of luxury in Dubai’s furnished apartment segment. Themed on the eternal and classic Miami lifestyle, The Pad offers luxurious serviced apartments that are spacious and airy.”

Located in the Burj Khalifa District, The Pad which inclines at an angle of 6.5 degrees, has a total built up of 131,368 m2 and will have a distinguished LED façade lighting exterior. The building will also offer tenants a state of the art gym, and is located to a variety of fine restaurants as well as shops and eateries.

The project was initially announced more than six years ago, with Omniyat previously holding talks with potential contractors for the project back in 2007.

The firm has said now that it is in talks with a series of potential partners, including hotel operators, anchor tenants, retailers and franchisees to maximize the value and desirability of its offerings to its investor base. More info
