Dubai has once again raised the bar in luxury real estate, setting a new benchmark as a duplex penthouse in the Burj Khalifa has been leased for an extraordinary Dh12 million per year—the highest annual apartment rent ever recorded in the UAE.
Situated across the 87th and 88th floors, this remarkable residence spans over 10,000 square feet and offers an unmatched level of exclusivity and comfort. The penthouse includes a private swimming pool, an expansive 2,500-square-foot master suite, and a 2,000-square-foot terrace that provides breathtaking panoramic views of Dubai’s skyline. Designed for both luxury and entertainment, the property also features a private cinema, spa, sauna, and a fully equipped gym.
The interiors are finished with the finest materials, including premium Patagonia marble, while a state-of-the-art 45-speaker sound system by Bang & Olufsen enhances the overall living experience. What makes this property even more unique is its concept—it has been created by merging multiple units into a single vertical estate, offering a rare level of space and privacy in one of the world’s most iconic towers.
This record-breaking deal reflects the continued strength and resilience of Dubai’s ultra-luxury property market. It also highlights the city’s growing appeal among high-net-worth individuals from around the world, who are increasingly drawn to Dubai for its premium lifestyle offerings, architectural landmarks, and investment potential.
