OMNIYAT, a leading developer in the Middle East, is bringing a slice of Miami to Dubai by reconfiguring The Pad, an artistic edifice in Burj Khalifa district, tilted at a 6.5 degree angle, and themed on Miami designs.

It will now offer luxury furnished apartments, instead of just residential apartments under the original model. “The Pad, a 24-storey tower in the Burj Khalifa district featuring 231 luxury apartments, will be the new epitome of luxury in Dubai’s furnished apartment segment,” said Mark Phoenix, Omniyat’s managing director.

Phoenix said that the artistic landmark will be completed in mid-2015 as the first property under ‘The Pad’ hotel brand.

He added that The Pad inclines at an angle of 6.5 degrees, creating a unique look that is unsurpassed in the world. Also, Omniyat is creating distinguished exterior lighting with an LED façade, that will stand out brilliantly and light up Burj Khalifa district and its environs at night.

The Pad has a total built-up of 431,000 sq ft, with 364 parking spots, 24/7 valet parking, a massive lobby and a gallery dominated by a giant flamingo.

Omniyat will also unveil a reconfigured version of another landmark project in Burj Khalifa District, The Opus, featuring Middle East’s first ‘ME by Melia’ hotel and plush serviced apartments, designed by renowned Arab architect, Dame Zaha Hadid.

The 95-m-tall Opus will also feature signature furniture designed or selected by Hadid, giving it another huge value addition. The world-class hotel will feature Michelin star food and beverage outlets spread across an area of 250,000 sq ft.

Brookfield Multiplex is reported to have completed 30 per cent of the work on the tower.
