The Dh3.75m loft apartment sitting at the top of the Bay


The loft living concept isn’t one that is popular in Dubai – mainly because there isn’t the demand for converted spaces when so many apartments have been built for purpose over the past decade.Loft living does have its fans, though, and for those who love the idea of a cavernous, double-height central space then a property in Business Bay is on the market at a reasonable price.The two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit has been reduced in price this month to Dh3.75 million from the initial Dh4.1m.It is on the top floor of Dubai Properties’ Executive Towers and is, according to sales agent Brigitte Tenbergen, one of the few decent examples of loft living available in Dubai. The unit, which is on the 50th floor, was handed over by the developer as shell and core space but its owner, who has held the property for five years, was keen to ensure it retained the loft “feel” by retaining a double-height, central living space. “A loft means there is no separation – it is one big room,” says Ms Tenbergen. “There’s not alot of of lofts in Dubai, the only lofts you have really are in JBR and Executive Towers.”The large windows also mean there is a lot of natural light that floods into the main dining and living space, although automatic shades means this can be blocked out when required. Walls have been kept bare and dark stone floors are used throughout to add to the contemporary theme. There is a closed kitchen and a separate laundry room, as well as a nearby bathroom with shower and guest bedroom.A staircase then leads onto a mezzanine level with its own open space, a main bedroom, a walk-in closet and a bathroom. The tower is one of 12 that makes up Executive Towers and comes with regular community features including a gym and communal pool area. The building also has its own reception service, and the apartment comes with two allocated parking spaces.mfahy@thenational.aeFollow The National’s Business section on Twitter
