Floor counts and completion years come from CTBUH's Skyscraper Center, with Bayut and Property Finder where they differ. The mall link is Emaar's description at launch and at the hotel opening; we don't quote a walking time through the mall.
How far apart they are
The two buildings are about 1.3 km apart in a straight line, on opposite sides of the Downtown core. Straight-line distances from each building's position on OpenStreetMap:
| To | From Vida Residence Downtown | From Vida Residences Dubai Mall |
|---|---|---|
| The Dubai Mall (centre) | about 950 m | about 500 m |
| Burj Khalifa | about 750 m | about 950 m |
| Dubai Fountain | about 600 m | about 850 m |
| Dubai Opera | about 600 m | about 1.2 km |
| Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Metro | about 1.3 km | about 1.5 km |
Walking routes are longer than these straight lines, so allow extra time.
