Apartments for sale in Business Bay

Why Business Bay

The practical consequence for an investor is a permanent tenant pool: people who work in Downtown but will not pay Downtown rent. That is why yields hold up, and why one-bedroom units here are among the most consistently let stock in the city.

What it costs to be here

Expect around AED 1,700 per sqft as a community average, with a realistic entry point near AED 650,000. Service charges run roughly AED 15 - 20 per sqft a year, and that comes straight off your net yield for as long as you own the property. Off-plan supply here is very high.

Getting around

Business Bay metro station is a short walk from most central towers, Bay Avenue covers day-to-day retail, and DXB is twenty minutes by car. The beach is the weak point at a fifteen-minute drive.

Who buys here

Investors after rental income who have run the numbers, and younger professionals buying a first Dubai property to live in. It is rarely a family purchase, and the schools reflect that.

Golden Visa in Business Bay

The ten-year UAE Golden Visa needs AED 2 million of freehold property. Entry stock here sits below that figure, so buyers targeting the visa either buy larger or combine several properties to reach it. Since the 2026 rules, mortgaged and off-plan units count toward the threshold. Check whether your plan qualifies.
