Apartments We Have Finished

Two Downtown apartments, room by room — what we changed, what it is made of, and who made it. Every photograph is our own work, not a showroom or a supplier’s catalogue.

Renovation in Downtown Dubai

Downtown Dubai apartments carry premium addresses, and the renovations carry premium expectations.

The earlier buildings — Old Town, South Ridge, Burj Views and the first Boulevard towers — are now well past their tenth year, and owners are asking for full transformations: open living spaces, luxury kitchens, hotel-standard bathrooms and joinery that matches the address.

We have worked here — our Boulevard Point walkthrough is in the project video gallery — and we know how Downtown buildings run: Emaar community NOCs, strict service-lift and working-hour rules, and a finish standard set by the neighbourhood itself.

One team designs it, gets it approved, builds it and hands it over.

Our Boulevard Point walkthrough is in the video gallery. Downtown work you can watch, not just read about.

Premium finish, controlled

Our own teams make and fit the luxury joinery, stone and specialist finishes. The standard this address demands, under our control.

Building processes managed

Emaar community and building-management NOCs, lift bookings, permitted hours and protection rules — all prepared and managed for your specific tower.

Approvals in Downtown Dubai

Downtown renovations are approved by the building management and the Emaar community team: an NOC with drawings, contractor paperwork, insurance and deposits. Dubai Municipality permits are needed for structural, wiring or plumbing changes.

These buildings enforce their rules strictly. Getting the submission right first time is how a schedule holds its dates.

Downtown Dubai Renovation FAQs

The questions Downtown Dubai owners ask before starting a renovation.

Downtown work runs at premium standard. As a rough guide, a full renovation of a one or two-bed falls between AED 180,000 and AED 400,000. Larger units, Old Town homes and signature-tower apartments cost more. What you choose — stone, joinery, appliances, automation — drives the range. We price from a site visit, itemised line by line.

Yes. Our Boulevard Point walkthrough is in the Halo project video gallery, and we work across the district. We never publish client names or unit numbers, but the video shows the standard of our work.

A building-management NOC, usually through the tower’s management and the Emaar community team, covering drawings, contractor licence, insurance and deposits. Dubai Municipality permits are added for structural, wiring or plumbing changes. We prepare and manage the whole route for your building.

Yes. We run investor packages timed between tenancies: refreshed kitchens and bathrooms, new flooring and repainting in 3–6 weeks, scoped to raise the rent and cut empty months in a district where presentation decides the premium.

Managed properly, very little: noisy work only within permitted hours, materials through booked service lifts, corridors protected and cleaned daily. Downtown buildings are strict, and our site discipline is built for exactly that.
