One Residence at Downtown Dubai
Overview
One Residence by Ginco Properties places you right in the center of Downtown Dubai. Step outside and you’re surrounded by the icons — Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, the Opera District — the same places visitors fly across the world to see. Step back inside, and the mood changes entirely: peaceful, filled with light, and distinctly private. It doesn’t feel like a bustling hotel; it feels like home. That harmony is what sets it apart.
Residences
One Residence Ginco Properties tower climbs 30 storeys and includes 453 homes—studios, 1–2 bedroom apartments, and a limited set of 3–4 bedroom penthouses. The mix suits real Downtown life: professionals who want a slick base, couples who want space to breathe, families who need zones that actually work day-to-day. Floor-to-ceiling glazing pulls daylight deep into the plans, and bronzed balconies frame skyline views without stealing the living area.
Design & Materials
Interiors are clean and durable with porcelain tile flooring and engineered-stone worktops; the detailing warms up with brass and copper accents. It feels modern without being cold. Kitchens are efficient (nothing wasted), bedrooms are proportioned for real furniture, not show-unit tricks, and the flow from entry to living to balcony makes sense when you’re carrying groceries—or a sleepy toddler.
Floor Plans & Sizes
Layouts are straightforward and livable. A 2-bedroom sits around ~1,050 sq ft—enough for a proper dining table and a sofa that isn’t pressed to the wall. Penthouses reach ~2,394 sq ft, so you actually get room for a study or a music corner instead of cramming everything into one open box. Studios are compact by design but feel larger thanks to that glazing and smart storage.
Lifestyle & Amenities
With One residence apartments, you don’t need to leave the building to have a day. There’s an infinity pool looking over Downtown, a fully equipped gym plus a yoga studio for the calmer mornings, and a zen garden when the calendar finally shows a gap. Work days are easier with a co-working lounge; off days are fun with a golf simulator and a cinema room. Kids get a trampoline park (their energy will thank you). Evenings spill out to BBQ zones, picnic space, and casual lounge areas where the skyline does the heavy lifting.
Pricing & Payment Timeline
Entry starts at AED 1.27 million. The plan is simple and predictable for One residence for sale: 50/50 with 10% on booking, 40% during construction, 50% at handover. Handover is targeted for Q1 2027, which gives you a clear runway for finances, furnishing, and (if you’re investing) marketing schedules.
Investment Snapshot
Downtown holds its numbers. Expect average ROI around 6.2%, with 1-bedroom rents starting near AED 80K/year. The building’s scale, amenity set, and address keep demand steady; limited fresh inventory in core Downtown does the rest. If you’re running the math: yield now, appreciation potential over the medium term, and liquidity when you eventually exit.
Location & Access
Being “Downtown” isn’t just a pin on a map. It’s five-minute choices: dinner or a late mall run, opera or a walk by the fountains. Road links keep the commute sane, and the neighborhood has groceries, clinics, and cafés within easy reach so daily life doesn’t become a logistics plan.
What Makes It Work
On paper: prime address, clean specs, complete amenities, transparent pricing. In person: the light, the way the balcony frames the city, the feeling that the plan was drawn by someone who’s actually lived in an apartment. That’s the difference you notice after week two, not just on day one.
Next Steps
If you’re buying to live, shortlist the view and the orientation—you’ll feel it the second you step inside. If you’re buying to lease, focus on 1–2BR tiers with the cleanest stack for rentability. Either way, One Residence does the Downtown thing properly: close to everything, built for everyday use, and easy to explain to a tenant or a future buyer.
