Baccarat Hotel & Residences Phase 2 in Downtown Dubai
Shamal Holding's Baccarat Hotel & Residences Phase 2 sits in the Burj Khalifa Area of Downtown Dubai. Construction started in June 2023 and handover is scheduled for December 2027. The project sold out at the developer level in February 2026, so available units now trade on the secondary market.
The Burj Khalifa Area: What the Address Delivers
This is not a generic Downtown Dubai label. The Burj Khalifa Area places residents within walking distance of the Dubai Mall, the Burj Khalifa itself, and the Dubai Fountain. The Dubai Metro's Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station is close, making the rest of the city reachable without a car. Business Bay sits directly adjacent, and Sheikh Zayed Road is a short drive away.
For investors, the location draws from both the long-term rental pool and the short-term demand tied to the Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa's tourist footfall. These are overlapping demand sources that few Dubai addresses can claim simultaneously. For an end-user, this is one of the most walkable, amenity-rich pockets in the city.
What AED 17M to AED 42.7M Buys Here
The price range runs from AED 17,026,540 to AED 42,722,015 across three apartment types. 2-bedroom units start at AED 17M, 3-bedroom units from AED 28.4M, and 4-bedroom units from AED 42.7M.
The spread follows the configuration logic. The 2-bedroom at AED 17M is the entry position for a Baccarat-branded residence in this location. It is a significant commitment, but it is the minimum price for this specific brand and address combination. The jump to AED 28.4M for a 3-bedroom reflects the additional space in a building where floor area carries a premium. The AED 42.7M 4-bedroom targets a different buyer entirely: someone acquiring a primary or secondary home at the flagship end of the Dubai apartment market.
Apartments in Three Configurations
The project offers apartments only: 2-bedroom (Type A), 3-bedroom (Type B), and 4-bedroom (Type C). No villas or townhouses.
The 2-bedroom suits an investor or owner who wants the brand and address with a smaller total capital outlay. The 3-bedroom covers couples or small families intending to live here full-time. The 4-bedroom is sized for a large household or a high-ticket short-term rental strategy in one of Dubai's busiest tourist zones.
Amenities
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Leisure | Shared Pool, Barbecue Area, Community Park |
| Fitness | Gymnasium |
| Lifestyle | Cafe and Restaurants, Children's Play Area |
| Community | Mosque, Retail Facilities |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The amenity set covers the essentials without being elaborate. A shared pool, gym, and barbecue area handle the day-to-day leisure expectations at this price level. Cafe and restaurant facilities within the development reduce the friction of daily meals. The mosque and retail facilities add practical convenience for residents. At this price range, the project's draw is the brand and the address rather than the depth of in-building facilities.
Handover Scheduled for December 2027
Construction started in June 2023 and handover is set for December 2027, roughly 18 months from now. For a buyer entering via the secondary market today, that means a defined wait before occupation or rental income begins. This is not pre-launch speculation; construction is underway. A specific completion date and a recognizable brand reduce some of the uncertainty typical of off-plan purchases in this segment.
