Named after the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the tower has fast become the most sought after residential location in the heart of the city.

Standing at 382 metres, the Burj Mohammed Bin Rashid is the tallest tower in Abu Dhabi and is now home to 426 families and a total of 852 residents, reflecting a strong market response. Currently, remaining units include three to four bedroom family apartments and luxurious penthouse suites which have all been designed as the ultimate in luxury living.

Since launching in 2013, the mall has served and represented the residents of Abu Dhabi with a host of events and shopping experiences that reflect an unprecedented lifestyle, not only within the downtown community, but Abu Dhabi as a whole. Recently, new additions have enhanced an already vibrant dining portfolio, with the opening of Esfahan restaurant, the Mexican restaurant El Chico and Oriental eatery Zaitoun Akhdar, offering alfresco outdoor dining under Khalifa Bridge.
