A flat is only half the story. The building is the other half — its lifts, its parking, its maintenance team and its cooling bills decide your daily life far more than the view from one window. That is why DXB Talk now reviews Dubai’s residential buildings one by one: honestly, building by building.
How our building reviews work
1. Honest guides first. Every building guide starts from the facts: when it was built, who built it, what facilities it really has, how parking and cooling work, and how you get around from it. Then we add the honest downsides and what residents say in public reviews, clearly labelled as such.
2. Resident ratings, from readers. Soon you will be able to rate the building you live in — anonymously, in about two minutes: maintenance, lifts, parking, noise, management and cleanliness. Every rating is read by our team before it appears, and scores only show once a building has several reviews, so no single voice decides.
3. Independent, always. We take no money from agents, developers or landlords for building coverage. A building cannot pay to look better here.
