Emaar Properties has unveiled the second phase of its serviced apartment project, Burj Dubai Lake Hotel, located on the 3.5km boulevard at Downtown Burj Dubai. Amlak Finance is offering easy finance options to own an apartment in the 63-storey complex, scheduled to open in late 2008.

Burj Dubai Lake Hotel is a residential cum hospitality component of the Dh73 billion ($20 billion) Downtown Burj Dubai, which encompasses Burj Dubai, billed to be the world's tallest tower when completed; The Dubai Mall, the world's largest shopping and entertainment destination; and several other residential, leisure and commercial elements.

"The first phase of Burj Dubai Lake Hotel, launched in late-2004, was a sell-out success," said Bahiya Kayed, Assistant Director of Sales, Emaar Properties. "The launch of the second phase is in tune with the burgeoning demand for serviced apartments in the region and is an ideal opportunity for investing in the sector. Its central location in Downtown Burj Dubai also makes it a perfect home that has all the conveniences of serviced apartments."

Burj Dubai Lake Hotel is situated next to The Old Town residences and The Dubai Mall. Three levels of parking will also be shared by the hotel and serviced apartments.

"Amlak Finance is offering 96 per cent financial support to investors and home owners for Burj Dubai Lake Hotel," said Khalid Zainal, Head of Sales and Distribution, Amlak Finance. Burj Dubai Lake Hotel has a limited number of fully furnished studio and one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom serviced apartments.

"Residents can enjoy great views of the Downtown Burj Dubai development and be part of a bustling downtown lifestyle with several leisure and entertainment options," added Kayed.

TPotential investors and home owners can discover the Burj Dubai Lake Hotel living experience by visiting the Downtown Burj Dubai sales centre.
