The Index, standing at 328 meters (1,076 feet) tall, is an 80-storey skyscraper located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Its unique design allocates the first four floors for service purposes, floors 5 to 29 for offices, and floors 31 to 77 for residential use. The tower features duplex penthouses on the 73rd and 75th floors, and triplex penthouses on floors 77 to 80.
An innovative aspect of The Index's design is its orientation along the east-west axis, strategically shielding floors from the harsh desert sun. This architectural feature, along with extensive sun shades on the south-facing facade, helps regulate internal temperatures and reduces the need for excessive air conditioning, thereby lowering energy costs for occupants.
With parking facilities accommodating 2,442 cars and recreational amenities including a swimming pool and gym, The Index offers a blend of convenience and luxury living. Notably, it received the 2011 Best Tall Building Middle East & Africa award from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat.
As of December 2015, Emirates REIT, the UAE's first Real Estate Investment Trust, owned the majority of the retail space, office floors, and parking spaces within The Index.
