Where it is
The pin is placed by district — I send the exact address on request.
Business Bay
The canal district next to Downtown: conceived as offices, built mostly as apartments, now one of the most tenanted parts of the city.
- central location at a discount
- short-let on the canal
- deep tenant demand
What to check: Quality varies enormously between towers here. Walk the building on a normal weekday and get three years of service charge history before you offer — in Business Bay the building matters far more than the district average.

Is this expensive or cheap for Business Bay?
The database holds 321 lots in Business Bay. The area median is AED 3 030 per sq ft; this lot is at AED 1 377.

The median is taken from listings in our database, not from registered sales.
Business Bay area guide →Is the property ready or still under construction?
According to the listing, the property is ready.
Can this lot be bought with a mortgage, and what would the payment be?
UAE banks lend on ready homes to both residents and non-residents. For this lot: a resident puts down from 20%, here AED 435 000; a loan of AED 1 740 000 over 25 years at 3.75–4.99% a year comes to roughly AED 8 900–10 200 a month. A non-resident puts down from 40% (AED 870 000) and pays about AED 6 700–7 600 a month. The bank approves the rate and the amount.
Run your own numbers in the mortgage calculator →What costs come on top of the price?
The main one is the Dubai Land Department registration fee: 4% of the price, AED 87 000 for this lot. On a ready property the registration trustee fee of AED 4 200 is added. With a mortgage the bank charges for processing and valuation, and the mortgage is registered for a separate fee. I will send the full calculation for this lot on request.
Does buying this lot qualify for a UAE residence visa?
On price, yes: the 10-year Golden Visa is granted for property from AED 2 000 000, and this lot is priced at AED 2 175 000. The threshold is measured by the Dubai Land Department valuation, not the contract, and only freehold qualifies.
Golden Visa and residence visas →How do I view the property and get the exact address?
