Dubai developer Omniyat on Tuesday launched The Sterling, a luxurious set of residential twin tower in Downtown Dubai, in the shadow of the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building.

Located 7 kilometres from the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and a few minutes away from The Dubai Mall, the duo of towers offers a diverse selection of penthouses and one-, two- and three-bed apartments and townhouses.

The Sterling will include landscaped gardens, swimming pools, lounge areas, a gym and spa and is expected to start handover to owners in 2019, Omniyat said in a statement on its website.

“What's more, The Sterling is constructed in an intelligent way that minimises the building's exposure to daylight, which conserves resources in an environment that requires high-energy use for cooling,” it added.

The company said it will offer a special disbursement scheme, accepting payments until 2022.

The developer has been in operation for 11 years, during which it has delivered projects worth around 4 billion dirhams ($1.08 billion), with another 12 billion dirhams worth of projects in the pipeline.

The projects included The Opus development in Downtown and The Pad and One in Palm Jumeriah.
