About Act One
Act One is the taller of the two Act One / Act Two towers, an Emaar high-rise that opened in 2018 in the Opera District. The tower faces the Opera Plaza on one side and the back of the Burj Khalifa lake on the other, so unit aspect drives a meaningful price differential — Burj-facing apartments above level 25 command a strong premium. Act One is the more skyline-oriented of the two towers and carries the sky-floor and penthouse inventory.
