About Boulevard Central
Boulevard Central was launched by Emaar in 2007 under the working name Centro Towers and renamed during construction. The two towers were completed in 2012 and are joined by a shared podium, with Arif & Bintoak as architect.
The apartment mix suits both first time buyers and investors: studios and one, two and three bedroom homes of roughly 335 to 1,400 sq ft, with fitted kitchens and balconies. Shops and cafés at ground level open onto the Boulevard, and there is office space on the mezzanine.
On the podium, residents share a swimming pool with changing rooms, a children's pool, a landscaped pool deck, a fully equipped gym and a barbecue area, backed by 24 hour security and maintenance. Its central Boulevard position keeps it in steady demand with tenants.
