Aedas elevates urban living with Rixos Branded Residences in Dubai

Aedas’ addition to the Dubai skyline will offer unparalleled views and 84 floors of opulence

Aedas, a leading global architecture firm, has announced one of its latest projects, Rixos Financial Centre Road Dubai Residences. Located in the heart of the city, this iconic development marks the debut of the world’s first Rixos standalone residences. Rixos Hotels and Residences, part of Ennismore, a global lifestyle and leisure hospitality company, brings an added layer of prestige to the project. The building will offer some of the finest views of the Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai while raising the bar for sophistication and urban living.

Standing as the second tallest residential tower in Dubai after the Burj Khalifa, this landmark building by Aedas will occupy the last corner plot in Downtown Dubai. The project hosts 260 units ranging from 1- to 4-bedroom apartments, along with two types of luxurious penthouses and 4 levels of world-class amenities. The building rises to a height of 329 meters, comprising 2 basement levels, ground floor, five podium levels, and 78 floors.

With one side overlooking the vibrant streets of Downtown Dubai and the other offering picturesque vistas of the canal, residents will experience the best of both worlds. The project employs innovative design strategies to maximize these views. A generous floor-to-floor height of 3.8 meters creates opportunities to frame the views. Strategic massing with a smaller footprint on lower levels that expands on the upper floors, and a façade perimeter that is oriented towards the best views will offer an elevated experience to its residents.

The building is inspired by simple yet elegant design principles and is divided into three distinct volumes – the Low Zone with 32 floors, the Mid Zone with 27 floors and the High Zone with 12 floors of penthouses and most premium vistas.  

A New Standard of Luxury

Designed to balance form and function, the project is a testament to the firm’s commitment to excellence and exceptional solutions. The team has crafted a contemporary urban expression that harmonises seamlessly with the prime location in Downtown Dubai, reflecting the core values of the Rixos brand.

“At Aedas, we are committed to designing buildings that inspire and elevate the human experience,” said Global Design Principal Ignacio Gomez. “Through Rixos Branded Residences, we are celebrating the fusion of architectural innovation and urban luxury. The project is a result of collaborative efforts of all stakeholders and rigorous design explorations.”

With its unparalleled location, thoughtful design, and upscale amenities, the project not only sets a new standard for luxury living in Dubai but distinctly differentiates itself in the marketplace. Emphasising lifestyle elements and cutting-edge touch points, the project offers an array of amenities designed for residents’ comfort, including fitness facilities, kids club, padel courts, running tracks, yoga studios, golf simulation rooms, private screening rooms, and a fully-fledged boardroom for meetings. 

Aedas looks forward to bringing this visionary concept to life, creating an iconic landmark that will leave an indelible mark on the city’s skyline and its dynamic landscape.
