Trade Center Second is a district of Dubai. It runs as a narrow strip along the north-eastern side of Sheikh Zayed Road, close to DIFC. It is mainly a commercial district, with offices and towers lined along the main road and only a small amount of housing. Several of the city's best-known buildings stand here, including the Dubai World Trade Centre and Emirates Towers. Because of this, the area is busy with business visitors and exhibition traffic, and it sits at the centre of the city's main road corridor. The district has one residential building: World Trade Centre Residence, with 366 apartments. It was developed by Jumeirah Group and completed in 2008. The tower stands next to the convention centre in the Dubai World Trade Centre complex and is run as serviced residences under the Jumeirah Living name.
