About Upper Crest

Upper Crest is a 44-storey residential tower in Downtown Dubai, positioned off Al Ohood/Al Asayel Street within walking distance of key attractions such as Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa. Completed in 2017 and also known as Burjside Terrace, the building caters to an urban, hotel-apartment style of living in one of the city’s most central districts. Residences comprise fully furnished studios, 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom apartments, with contemporary interiors and floor-to-ceiling glazing typical of Downtown high-rises. The building contains approximately 446 units and is freehold. On-site facilities include a gymnasium, swimming pool, sauna and spa, with a dedicated children’s play area in the leisure deck. Residents benefit from five levels of podium parking with valet services, high-speed elevators, central air-conditioning and 24-hour security with CCTV. The ground-floor retail section typically hosts everyday conveniences such as a mini-mart/supermarket and laundry. The address offers straightforward connectivity across the city. It sits close to major arteries including Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Khail Road and Ras Al Khor Road, and is served by local bus and taxi routes with easy access to the Dubai Metro in the Downtown area. The immediate surroundings provide a dense mix of dining, hotels and leisure venues, while popular promenades along the canal and around the mall are reachable on foot. Healthcare, fitness centres and community services are available nearby, making the tower practical for both short and long stays as well as commuters to Business Bay and other core business districts. Overall, Upper Crest suits residents seeking furnished apartments in a central, amenity-rich environment, combining serviced-style features with the convenience of Downtown Dubai’s retail and entertainment network.
