Kempinski Residences Bayil Bay
Kempinski Signs Agreement to Manage Branded Residences in Azerbaijan
Rising above the steel-blue waters of the Caspian Sea, Kempinski Residences Bayil Bay will become the most coveted address in the Azerbaijani capital when it opens in 2025. Behind a modern, undulating façade inspired by the gentle movements of the waves, this architectural marvel will be home to 37 elegantly appointed private residences, providing a stylish base for owners and investors looking for a home in Baku. The project, already built and currently under finalization on Seafront Boulevard, is being developed by Azerbaijani real estate company Baku City Residences, which has to date completed seven residential real estate projects totalling more than 2,500 homes and has five new projects in the pipeline.
Five different categories of private residences ranging from 249-436.6 sq m will be available for full ownership, affording investors the chance to experience the benefits of a Kempinski hotel stay courtesy of a team of dedicated Kempinski hosts. In addition to the 37 residences, which all boast spacious private terraces, the project will include three floors of luxury retail, a private lounge area with meetings spaces, gym, video conferencing room, and a fine-dining restaurant with panoramic outdoor terraces overlooking the tranquil waters of Bayil Bay.
A state-of-the-art spa and fitness centre managed by a leading international brand will provide a sanctuary in which owners can relax and rejuvenate, complete with infinity-edge swimming pool, Turkish bath, Pilates studio, salt room and a Finnish sauna, while a subterranean parking garage for the exclusive use of residence owners will be fitted with electric car charging points and a car wash station. The clever architectural design by renowned Italian architect Mauro Lipparini incorporates a vented façade with thermal insulation and an abundance of leafy plants draped between private terraces, designed to create an ambient environment all year round.
Kempinski Residences Bayil Bay is situated in close proximity to some of Baku's most iconic attractions including the Old City, Maiden Tower and the Azerbaijani National Carpet Museum, as well as key business and events venues such as Baku Crystal Hall and the iconic Flame Towers, a symbol of Azerbaijan's economic success and abundant natural resources. A 40-minute drive to the north of Baku, Yanar Dag, the Burning Mountain, is home to the eternal flame that gave Azerbaijan its nickname, the 'Land of Fire'.
Accessed via Heydar Aliyev International Airport, Baku is the stage upon which a growing collection of international sporting and cultural events have been set, including the annual Baku International Jazz Festival, the UEFA European Football Championships (2020) and the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, which was inaugurated in 2017 and takes place annually on the historic streets around Baku Old Town. From November 11-22, the city will host the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29), a global gathering dedicated to tackling climate-change.
