Il Vento

Il Vento is a 27-residence tower by Kora Properties, located in Bur Dubai and currently under construction. Designed with an Italian architectural sensibility, it offers one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments priced from approximately AED 2.45 million to AED 7.74 million.

# A Small Tower in a District Undergoing Sustained Change

Bur Dubai is one of the city's older, more textured neighbourhoods, carrying the kind of commercial and residential density that newer master-planned districts take decades to develop. Il Vento occupies a single building within this context, a deliberate choice of scale. Twenty-seven units across one structure keeps the residential community close-knit, a quality that larger developments in Dubai's newer precincts cannot easily replicate.

The tower's architectural references draw from Italian design traditions: composed lines, a measured façade, and an overall restraint that separates it from the maximalist towers common in waterfront corridors further along the coast. Whether that restraint holds through construction will become clear as readiness progresses from its current stage.

# Residences, Sizes and Kitchen Specification

One-bedroom apartments range in size from 778 sq ft to just over 960 sq ft, with prices spanning roughly AED 2.45 million to AED 3.28 million depending on the specific unit. The spread in price at similar sizes reflects floor position and outlook. Two-bedroom units run from approximately 1,238 sq ft to 1,503 sq ft, priced between AED 3.47 million and AED 4.9 million. Three-bedroom apartments reach up to 2,386 sq ft at the top of the range, with the largest unit asking AED 7.74 million.

Furnishing is kitchen-only. Buyers receive a fitted kitchen and take responsibility for the remainder of the interior, which suits those who prefer to commission their own fit-out rather than accept a developer's standard furniture package.

Service charges are set at AED 18 per sq ft annually.

# Layout considerations

The unit count of 27 across a single building suggests generous floor plates at each level. At the larger end, three-bedroom apartments exceed 1,800 sq ft on the lower configurations and push past 2,300 sq ft at the top, proportions that work for families or buyers who consider Dubai a primary residence.

# Amenities Across the Building

Il Vento's amenity programme is structured across both ground-level and upper-floor facilities. The sky pool and sky garden occupy elevated positions, taking advantage of whatever views the building's height provides. A separate infinity horizon pool is listed alongside the sky pool, giving residents two distinct aquatic settings.

Wellness is addressed through a dedicated wellness pavilion and an outdoor yoga area. The open-air fitness deck extends exercise options beyond a conventional gym. For families, both an indoor and outdoor children's play area are included. Social infrastructure covers a lounge, celebration hall and a cozy fireplace area, the last of these an unusual specification in Dubai's climate, presumably intended for the cooler months between November and February.

# Connectivity and the Bur Dubai Address

Bur Dubai sits on the western bank of the Dubai Creek, giving it proximity to both the historic centre of the city and the road networks that connect to Business Bay and Downtown. Al Fahidi and the surrounding area bring cultural texture that more recently developed precincts lack outright.

The neighbourhood is well connected by metro, with several stations accessible within a reasonable distance. For international buyers, proximity to Dubai International Airport is a practical consideration, as Bur Dubai sits closer to it than addresses in Dubai Marina or Jumeirah.

# Who Il Vento Suits and Where It Sits in the Market

At AED 2.45 million for a one-bedroom apartment, Il Vento enters the Dubai market at a price point that sits above the mass mid-market but below the headline figures commanded by branded residences on Palm Jumeirah or in Downtown. That positioning will attract buyers looking for a considered product in an established neighbourhood rather than the prestige address premium attached to newer waterfront precincts.

The 27-unit scale works in favour of buyers who value privacy and a degree of exclusivity that larger towers cannot offer by construction. It is a project that suits a specific profile: the international buyer purchasing a second home or pied-à-terre, or the regional resident who wants proximity to the Creek and old Dubai without sacrificing a well-specified building. The kitchen-only furnishing gives those buyers the latitude to finish the residence on their own terms.
