About the Building
MBK Tower was designed by Eng. Adnan Saffarini, with Er. Majid Hashmi serving as project design director from concept through construction. Built between 2006 and 2010, the 200-metre tower sits directly on Sheikh Zayed Road within Business Bay, Dubai’s canal-front financial and residential district south of Downtown Dubai. This guide covers the residential tower of the same name in Business Bay, Dubai, it is unrelated to MBK Center and its attached MBK Tower office building in Bangkok, Thailand, a well-known but entirely separate shopping-mall complex.
Units run 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments, from about 1,044 to 1,927 square feet, each with large bedrooms, built-in wardrobes and a furnished kitchen.
