About the Limestone House
Limestone House is a luxury low-rise residential building located in the heart of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). Designed by the renowned architecture firm Gensler and developed by Union Properties, the building blends Mediterranean and Arabian architectural elements, most notably through its distinctive limestone façade. It consists of approximately 323 apartments spread across 14 to 15 floors, offering a range of spacious 1 to 4-bedroom layouts, including penthouses. The interiors feature high-end finishes, recessed lighting, hardwood flooring, and in select units, solariums and private terraces. Larger residences also include maid’s rooms and multiple parking spaces.
Strategically positioned along Sheikh Zayed Road, Limestone House offers direct access to DIFC’s Gate Avenue, the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, and is within walking distance of the Financial Centre Metro Station. The building is known for its tranquil atmosphere despite being located in one of Dubai’s busiest commercial hubs. Residents benefit from comprehensive amenities including a fully equipped gym, indoor lap pool, steam and sauna facilities, landscaped gardens, and a private residents’ lounge. Security is top-notch with 24/7 surveillance, swipe card access, private lobbies for select units, and full concierge and maintenance services. However, pets are not allowed in the building.
From an investment perspective, Limestone House offers strong rental yields of around 6%, with one-bedroom apartments renting from approximately AED 120,000 per year, and larger units or penthouses fetching over AED 300,000 annually. Purchase prices start around AED 1.5 million and can exceed AED 5 million for the most premium units. While the building is praised for its design, location, and amenities, some residents have noted issues with aging interiors and lack of natural ventilation due to sealed windows. Nonetheless, Limestone House remains one of the most prestigious residential addresses in DIFC, ideal for executives and families seeking a blend of elegance, security, and convenience.
