Ahad Residences

Ahad Residences is a completed 30-storey residential tower by AHAD Group, located in Business Bay, Dubai, and handed over in Q2 2023. The building offers furnished apartments across studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations, with a service charge running between 16 and 18 AED per square foot.

# The tower and its position in Business Bay

Business Bay sits immediately south of Downtown Dubai, separated from it by the Dubai Canal. The district has matured considerably over the past decade, shifting from a predominantly commercial address into a mixed-use neighbourhood with a genuine residential population. Hotels, canal-facing restaurants and retail streets now anchor its character as much as the office towers do.

Ahad Residences occupies one building within this context. At 30 storeys, it is mid-rise by Business Bay standards, where taller towers dominate the skyline. The architecture follows contemporary conventions for the district: clean façades, a restrained material palette, and a vertical profile suited to a dense urban block. The substructure includes five basement levels, all given over to parking, with valet service available to residents.

# Furnished residences across four configurations

The building contains studios alongside one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. All units are delivered furnished, with a package tailored specifically for the project rather than a generic specification applied across the board.

Kitchens are fitted with a refrigerator, gas hob, gas oven and washing machine. Finishes extend to quality materials on doors, windows and floors. The structure was built to earthquake-resistant standards, a specification detail that carries increasing relevance as buyers from seismically active regions assess Dubai property.

Natural light features prominently in the layouts, aided by the tower's height and the relatively open grain of the surrounding Business Bay streetscape.

# Amenities on site

The building's amenity offering is compact but functional. A dedicated gym and a separate outdoor gym cater to residents who want to avoid the commute to a third-party facility. A swimming pool and landscaped communal areas provide outdoor space without leaving the building.

Concierge and 24-hour security services are in place, and ground-floor retail shops provide basic convenience directly within the tower. It is a practical rather than resort-style amenity set, appropriate for a building whose residents are principally owner-occupiers or long-stay tenants using Business Bay as a base.

# Connections to the rest of the city

The location performs well on distance metrics. Downtown Dubai sits 2.7 kilometres away, roughly a seven-minute drive. The Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall are reachable in nine minutes across 5.1 kilometres. DXB Airport is 17 kilometres out, a 20-minute journey under normal traffic conditions.

The nearest metro station is 2.4 kilometres away, a six-minute drive or a manageable walk along the canal. Jumeira Beach is 7.4 kilometres to the west, around 14 minutes by car. For families, Maple Bear Pre School is four minutes away, and Horizon English School Dubai sits 8.1 kilometres out at a 12-minute drive.

# Who this building suits and where it sits in the market

Ahad Residences is now a completed, fully operational asset in a district that has demonstrated consistent rental demand from corporate tenants and short-stay professionals. The furnished delivery, the Business Bay address, and the proximity to Downtown make it a straightforward rental proposition for investors holding units rather than occupying them.

For owner-occupiers, the appeal is the combination of a central location, a contained building with on-site services, and the canal-adjacent neighbourhood character that Business Bay has developed over the past several years. The project is fully sold through the primary market, so acquisition at this point moves through resale channels, where pricing reflects the completed and income-generating status of the asset.
