Our Uninest Dubailand property, the first of its kind in Dubai, opened at the start of 2016 close to the Dubai Academic City. For a new market, where PBSA is a totally new concept, we are pleased with our progress on this 424-bed residence and expect occupancy to continue to improve over the next academic year.
The property includes a wide variety of room types to suit all customer preferences and budgets:
- Studios
- Single en-suite rooms
- Twin en-suite rooms
The property provides a wide range of facilities including:
- Study rooms
- Lounge areas
- iMac stations
- Swimming pool
- Gym
- Shuttle bus transport to DIAC and DKV
- Underground parking
As the first ever purpose built student property in the market, the business spent a lot of time showcasing the property features to universities and local/government institutions who are very impressed with the quality and uniqueness of our product.
