These figures come from Bayut's building guide, which is a property portal rather than the developer. Emaar or the Dubai Land Department can confirm them for a purchase.

Which South Ridge tower is this?

South Ridge is a group of six towers, so people search for each number separately: Tower 1, Tower 2 and so on. They share a name and a neighbourhood but not the same height, floor count or views. Bayut notes that South Ridge 5 has 36 floors and Tower 6 has 44. If you have seen a listing for another number, check which tower it is before you compare prices. We also cover South Ridge Tower 1.

Apartment sizes and layouts

Bayut gives typical sizes for the tower. Treat them as a guide, because individual units vary by floor and line.

Sizes in listings are usually built-up area, which includes balconies and wall thickness. Our guide to BUA and suite area on a Dubai floor plan explains the difference, and it helps when comparing two units.

Renting in South Ridge Tower 6

Tenants here get a Downtown address in a completed building, with a full amenity set. Rents differ a lot by floor, view and whether the unit is furnished, so we do not quote an average.

Buying in South Ridge Tower 6

Buyers look at this tower for a freehold Downtown apartment in a building that was completed in 2008. Check the condition of the unit, the age of the air conditioning, and the service charge before you offer. Bayut says residents also pay yearly chiller charges, with district cooling provided by Emaar. Our guides to the Dubai service charge index and DEWA and chiller charges show how to check both.

Who it suits

It suits professionals who want to be near Downtown and DIFC, investors who prefer a completed building to an off-plan one, and families who value the pool and play areas and a nursery in the complex. It is less suited to anyone who wants brand new finishes without any upgrade work.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Downtown location, 44 floors with high-floor views, extensive amenities, freehold, Emaar as developer.
• Cons: an older building from 2008, separate chiller charges, and the metro is a drive rather than a walk according to Bayut.
