South Ridge Tower 1 at a glance

Other sources count the complex slightly differently (one gives 939 apartments), so treat unit totals as approximate.

South Ridge Tower 1 to 6: how the buildings differ

Searches for South Ridge Tower 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 each have strong demand. The towers share a podium, pool and park setting, and differ mainly in height and unit count.

Tower 1 and Tower 6 are the tallest, so higher floors can offer the best Burj Khalifa and canal views. Check the tower number and floor in every listing.

Who it suits

It suits professionals and families who want a large apartment and Downtown's facilities, and owners who prefer an established Emaar tower. It is less suited to anyone who wants a metro station within walking distance.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Emaar-built, large layouts, sports facilities, on-site nursery, close to Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, pet-friendly.
• Cons: an older building from 2008, the metro is a drive away, and traffic around Downtown is heavy at peak times.
