The project
About Forte
Forte comprises two residential towers beside Dubai Opera in Downtown Dubai, offering apartments with Burj Khalifa and Opera District outlooks.
Launch pricing was reported from roughly AED 1.8 million; the original plan included a substantial post-handover portion, and some resale units still carry instalments into 2028.
The towers were completed in 2023, so current availability is via the secondary market.
