Serviced residence operator The Ascott Limited has signed a management agreement for its second property in Dubai, set to open in 2017.

The 117-key Ascott Culture Village Dubai, which is being developed by Rhodi Real Estate, will be located along the shoreline of Dubai Creek.

Residents will be able to choose from a range of studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments at the serviced residence, which also offers facilities such as a swimming pool, fully-equipped gymnasium and restaurant.

“We have been witnessing a growing demand for luxury serviced residences in Dubai as our first property in Dubai, Ascott Park Place, has been achieving occupancies of over 80%,” said Ascott head for the GCC Sym Lee.

“Having another premier Ascott-branded serviced residence will allow us to cater to the need for quality and luxurious serviced apartments and increase our presence in this cosmopolitan city.”
