Forget the Pentagon - Dubai will soon boast its very own multi-sided landmark: The Octagon, which will be showcased to potential investors next week.The latest in a string of stunning buildings in the city, The Octagon is a 50-storey mixed-use development located within the prestigious City of Arabia, the spectacular $5bn retail, residential, commercial and entertainment destination lying at the gateway to Dubailand.
It is sure to arouse frenzied interest at Cityscape Dubai 2008, the largest business-to-business real estate investment and development event in the world held at Dubai International Exhibition Centre on 6-9 October.
Like the iconic Burj Al Arab or the towering Burj Dubai, The Octagon is being billed as a unique feat of Middle Eastern architecture in both its concept and design.
In addition to its attention-grabbing eight sides, it offers 32 levels of commercial and 18 levels of residential space, as well as studio and one-bedroom apartments ranging from 614 to 4,000 sq ft. A number of duplex penthouses are also included in this breathtaking building.
Central to the magnetic appeal of The Octagon is its superb location in City of Arabia, according to project owners, the Ilyas and Mustafa Galadari Group.
Ilyas Galadari, Chairman of the Ilyas and Mustafa Galadari Group, said:
'From your home or office in The Octagon, you are within walking distance of the vibrant waterfront shopping and entertainment district, Wadi Walk, comprising a wide array of stylish boutiques, cafes and restaurants, and from Mall of Arabia, the region's largest shopping destination with more than 1,400 diverse retail outlets.'
