The MAG 218 Tower at 67 floors rises approximately 275 meters high. Its 550 1- and 2-bedroom apartments are spread over 55 residential floors.


It's base consists of a podium with 3 levels below ground and 5 levels above.The tower is segmented midway by a community floor with recreational hall and fitness center.


The tower is crowned by steel lattice arches, framing a glass-walled cooling tower rising from the core. The top 5 floors feature full glass exteriors (no balconies) and thinner interior wall partitions.


Separating the community hall and fitness center, above floor 30, is an open-air viewing deck. The ceiling of the open-air deck extends two floors, to the top of the technical floor above.


The main part of the tower exterior consists of cladding in aluminum composite panels, with double-glazed tinted glass windows. The podium skin is made of metal mesh.


The podium design allows for natural ventilation on all above-ground parking levels--space provided for 628 vehicles. Its top features 25.5 X 8 meter swimming pool and sun-deck.


The tower rises at the head of the Dubai Marina district. Access from the north-east is along "D" Road, which forms a T-junction at the Dubai Marina Ring Road.


From the south-east the Dubai Marina Ring road leads to the tower's stylish main entrance.



By year 2008, the MAG 218 will be the address of choice for upwardly mobile professionals and the style conscious globe-trotter.
