It’s a new era at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). With the addition of the soon-to-be-built Four Seasons Private Residences Dubai at DIFC, the cosmopolitan commercial hub and lifestyle destination will be adding another feather to its already impressive cap. The new standalone property will be the second Four Seasons residential offering in Dubai and will feature 59 brand-new private residences plus two penthouses rising high over Gate Village. Here, owners will find a unique home offering a refuge from city life without losing the connection to the dynamic world that lies just outside.
Created in partnership with H&H Development and Bright Start, and managed by Four Seasons, this new development is already experiencing exceptionally high demand. “We are extremely proud to be partnering with H&H Development once again, growing our portfolio through a second stand-alone residential offering in Dubai and building on the success of our three existing properties in this vibrant city,” says Bart Carnahan, President, Global Business Development, Portfolio Management and Residential, Four Seasons.
Let’s peek inside this highly anticipated new property.
One of Dubai’s most coveted locations
Beyond being a world-class financial centre, DIFC is also a vibrant community where dining, retail and art play a big role in everyday life. This business-meets-lifestyle pedigree makes it an ideal address for those looking to live in the middle of it all. The new private residences will occupy Gate Avenue, DIFC’s indoor-outdoor promenade lined with art galleries, local boutiques, high-end shopping, fine-dining restaurants, and coffee shops.
As a standalone property – meaning one that isn’t directly connected to a hotel or resort – Four Seasons Private Residences Dubai at DIFC offer more privacy in addition to the elevated services and amenities available only to residents. And this address is unparalleled – the sophisticated urban getaway of Four Seasons Hotel Dubai International Financial Centre is just a quick stroll away, while the beachside paradise at Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach can be reached in just 15 minutes by car. With panoramic views of Downtown Dubai, Burj Khalifa to the south and Emirates Towers to the north, you really are in the heart of the city.
Reimagining the Dubai skyline
In a city filled with striking architecture, Four Seasons will fit right in. Designed by award-winning architect Sir David Chipperfield, this new project will become an urban hearth for all of DIFC. Composed of four aligned towers rising from a single raised plinth, the design is meant to provide urban continuity, albeit with a touch of the unexpected. If viewing the complex from the city, you’ll see four non-parallel yet linear façades – but there’s more. Walk past the city-facing exterior and those same buildings will reveal a gentler, more curved internal façade that embraces an immersive garden and pedestrian-only courtyard at its centre.
This secret garden will feature a landscape concept by Bureau Bas Smets and include various trees and plants to guarantee constant blooms throughout the year. In addition to water features and green spaces, this welcoming oasis will also be surrounded by restaurants and cafes perfect for gathering with family or friends after work.
Expert craftsmanship meets inspired design
The stunning architecture will be enhanced with interiors by international luxury hospitality design atelier Tihany Design. Drawing inspiration from the interplay of light and shadow as well as the work of Dutch designer Sabine Marcelis, the interiors of each residence will be crafted with a sophisticated resident in mind. Owners can expect the perfect blend of creativity and functionality combined with the careful selection of high-end materials and finishes, locally inspired touches and bespoke details.
Each home will feature a spacious living room with soaring ceilings and travertine marble flooring bathed in natural light, thanks to the large windows that open to a private terrace with views overlooking either downtown Dubai, the gardens or the courtyard below. The three- to five-bedroom residences range from 245 to 673 square metres (2,642 to 7,247 square feet), with each featuring custom Italian kitchens, cosy family rooms, a dedicated office space, bedrooms with Italian wood flooring and serene marble bathrooms – all fully furnished by Tihany Design.
For those looking for even more space, there will also be two bespoke penthouses starting at 1,145 square metres (12,328 square feet), each with a private swimming pool.
Resort-style amenities in the city
When you live with Four Seasons, you don’t just get a beautiful home – you get a lifestyle that caters to you. That includes access to exclusive amenities, which can serve as an extension of your residence. For DIFC owners, there will be an entire floor dedicated to an extensive collection of amenities including a residents’ lounge and terrace, swimming pool, state-of-the-art fitness centre, spa, movement studio, children’s pool and playroom, private theatre and more.
Entertaining colleagues? You’ll also have several event and lounge spaces, a meeting room, cigar lounge and golf simulator at your disposal.
Four Seasons residents also have access to the full range of amenities at both Four Seasons Hotel Dubai International Financial Centre and Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach. Be sure to ask the residential Concierge to book a table at MINA Brasserie or arrange for a private cabana on Jumeirah Beach to elevate your experience.
Genuine heart in every detail
Whether it’s a primary residence, a business-minded pied-à-terre or a family-friendly second home, your investment is in expert hands. To create a truly seamless living experience, Four Seasons Private Residences Dubai at DIFC will be managed by a dedicated team, including a Director of Residences and Residential Concierge, ensuring a service-rich lifestyle that maintains the highest standards of quality. Imagine your favourite breakfast delivered to your door the morning before a big meeting. Or dinner parties on your terrace with a menu curated by a Four Seasons chef. However you envision your life in Dubai, the team will help you create a home and lifestyle that is a true reflection of you.
“The limited availability paired with the development’s strategic location at the heart of the global financial hub promises an unparalleled blend of timeless luxury and modern convenience,” says Shahab Lutfi, CEO of Bright Start. “Adding Four Seasons legendary service, property management and amenities to this vibrant community and visionary residential development will create a new living experience that is second to none.”
