W Residences Downtown Dubai | Dar Al Arkan

W Residences is a branded residential tower in Downtown Dubai, developed by Dar Al Arkan and operated under the W Hotels name. It holds 384 apartments in one, two and three bedroom layouts, sized from around 700 sq.ft to 1,475 sq.ft, with prices starting from AED 1,600,000. Buyers pay 20% on booking, 60% across the construction period and 20% on handover, which is set for the third quarter of 2026.

The draw here is the combination of address and brand. Downtown Dubai is the highest-demand residential district in the city, and a branded residence in it is a different proposition to an ordinary apartment: the W name brings hotel-standard service and facilities into the building, and buyers of branded stock consistently find it easier to rent and to resell. Dar Al Arkan is the Saudi developer behind it, working in Dubai through its international arm Dar Global, and this is its branded residence in the Downtown district. Facilities run to an infinity pool, a gym and spa, a VIP clubhouse, a private cinema and games room, a co-working space with a board room, and landscaped terraces. Selected homes look directly onto the Burj Khalifa. For buyers following new Dar Al Arkan projects in Downtown Dubai or comparing off-plan projects in Downtown Dubai, this is one of the few branded launches in the district at this price point. It is also worth setting against other off-plan apartments in Dubai.
