People on its team
Sofitel Downtown by Refine is situated in one of the UAE’s highest-performing districts and most tightly confined supply zones, with only two remaining plots available in Downtown Dubai, where ultra-prime branded residences historically command 10–20% premiums over non-branded counterparts.
Pre-launch buyers are projected to prosper from an expected 10%+ price uplift post-launch, driven by brand value, location scarcity, and limited inventory.
The Downtown Dubai strategic position implies sustained demand from end-users, executives, and international investors.

Real estate types:
Sofitel Downtown by Refine is meant for premium short- and long-term rentals geared toward executive tenants and luxury-focused residents. Established brand recognition and central status translate to strong occupancy and premium rental rates (comparable 5–6% gross rental yields).
Initial investors profit from pre-launch pricing and first selection of views and layouts. The interplay of Sofitel branding, ultra-rare duplexes, and Downtown shortages fosters long-term capital valuations (typically 8–12%).
Sofitel Downtown by Refine is reserved for high-net-worth individuals, professionals, and lifestyle-driven buyers. Residents favor iconic views, branded living, and direct ties to Downtown Dubai’s business, retail, and cultural core, plus five-star services.
Downtown Dubai is the pulsing heart of the city, steps away from Dubai’s popular attractions. Among them are the highest skyscraper Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall shopping and entertainment complex.
The convenient location of the district is set along the Sheikh Zayed Road and provides easy access to all residential and commercial areas of the city. The nearest airport to Downtown Dubai is Dubai International Airport (DXB), and can be reached in just 15-20 minutes, while Al Maktoum International Airport is located a 40 minute drive away.
