FEATURES
CIRCULATION AND ACCESS
Get from your apartment to ground level or the 550-
space underground car park within seconds, via
carefully positioned elevators at the heart of every
building core. A well-designed network of shaded
pathways connects the Forty West Piazza with the
botanical courtyards and residential areas, seamlessly
linking with the pavements of Westown as a whole.
Arriving and leaving by car is easy too, via well-placed
entry and exit points for cars and pedestrians. Park
your car and emerge into the Forty West Piazza or
onto the landing right outside your door.
INTELLIGENT LANDSCAPING
Strategically planted trees absorb heat, look beautiful
and provide shading at optimal times of the day. The
palm grove in the Forty West Piazza casts its shadow
over café tables in the mornings and the restaurant
terrace in the early evenings. Water features lower the
ambient air temperature in courtyards. And sleek
garden walls loosely modelled on the mashrabiya
of old Cairo protect privacy while letting cooling
air through.
BEAUTIFUL PUBLIC AREAS
From the elegantly appointed residents’ roof decks
to the marble-clad stairways, every interior space
is impeccably designed. Air-conditioned lobbies
in all buildings are designed to make you feel
comfortable as soon as you step in to the building,
with a style and level of furnishing in keeping with
everything else at Forty West. And to ensure living
that is always luxurious, it’s all kept in top shape by
SODIC and Solidere International’s joint property
management company.
SECURITY AND SAFETY
A high level of fire protection is provided, including fire
and smoke detection in every interior space. And Forty
West is a highly secure environment, with closed circuit
TV cameras (CCTV) and key card entrance systems.
After dark, locked security gates protect residential
gardens and buildings, with access by convenient
electronic keys and ambient lighting in the gardens
to enhance the superb landscaping and ensure that
you feel safe.
WELL-CHOSEN MATERIALS
From the palette of sandstone and basalt paving on
pathways to the noise and heat insulating double-
glazed windows and the custom-designed doors made
from rich wood in all apartments, every material has
been chosen with care. Building cladding made from
sandstone is sturdy, elegant and climate-appropriate.
All for durability and style.
